I was looking forward to have Jutta coming back and this sit was a private invite. Jutta take good care of the cats throughout the stay, which of course was the most important aspect. Though sometimes when things are getting "too familiar", it might be easy to overlook a few things. Due to earlier trust, she was offered a few extra advantages this time. Some extra instructions were given in relation to this. Additionally it was mentioned no need for the extra reminders in the app, as she would know since before, and she knew the routines. Unfortunately during her stay there were some noisy guests as it is holiday season. She was given permission to do what was needed in relation to this if it was a problem. I did what I could from a distance by talking in our community chat for the urbanization. Throughout my trip I got a little bit more than I appreciated complaints about the development of the culture in messages. I haven't had any of these issues after coming back from my trip as well. At the end of the stay Jutta kindly offered to make food to be ready when I came home. This I appreciated and accepted. What I didn't expect when I came home was that the end-instructions were a bit more sloppy followed. Even if intentions were good of leaving all other food/drinks, it wasn't something I appreciated coming home to, needing to start making space for my own food in the fridge and throw away hers. I would have appreciated a clear communication. Instructions about keys were given, parts of it was not followed due to time-constrictions, which for me is better to do with planning. Unfortunately coming home added some extra stress to me getting in due to not following the added instructions given in relation to some special extra key she had access to. As sitters arrive fully to a made up bedroom, clean towels/bathroom mats/tea towels, it is expected that these are washed and hung for drying before the sitter leaves. If sitter has agreed to stay in the main bedroom instead of the guest bedroom, sutters are asked to ensure I don't need to start making my own bed the first thing I come home (as if they sleep in the guestroom,my bed will be made by me before my trip). Unfortunately this time it seemed like planning of time and going through the checklist was a bit more sloppy. Only bedsheets had been put in the washing machine, not ready hung up (cycle takes max 90 min on requested program), towels ready for wash outside, tea towels not changed, bathroom mats not washed/ taken from bathroom even. There had been many ways to solved much of this, though the only thing I was informed when we meet at the airport was that she didn't have time to take up vacuum cleaner and the mops were still standing in the hallway. Jutta was given "permission" not to think about certain things that normally is on the expected list, though unfortunately many more were forgotten (as picking up poop in the "garden toilet box" that the cats use). I'm sure Jutta will be great for other pet/home owners even if we'll not continue our relationship. Mistakes happen, and nothing needs to be perfect, it was just many small things that made this a bit more stressful than I had expected and hoped for. Best of luck in your future sits . Tatters and Sulis says thanks for the time they have had with you!

Danielle and her daughter Scarlet did a great job taking care of our dog Cooper. Danielle kept us informed daily and sent pictures. We highly recommend Danielle as a pet sitter.

Amber
The house was lovely, and Kenilworth is definitely worthy of a visit (especially its castle). The pets are adorable, Belle and Max are cuddly and Bailey is extremely well behaved and socialised. Amber and Sean provided everything we could need, and were super helpful all throughout our stay. We had a great time !

Tommy & Annette
We had a wonderful time looking after Jake for Annette and Tommy.  We got a great welcome and immediately felt comfortable in their lovely home. Jake was very easy to look after and loved his walks but let you know when he had enough. We would love to look after Jake in the future.  Frances and Jim

Victoria
Victoria was a fabulous homeowner! She provided a very detailed, thorough welcome guide, seamless communication, and great sense of humor. The kitties, Jessy, Raphael, Diana Ross, and Smokey Robinson were all so sweet with quirky personalities of their own. The apartment was spacious with everything I needed, including a work from home set up. I enjoyed the neighborhood, with friendly neighbors, banter with cafe baristas, and easy access to Manhattan. I would not hesitate to housesit again!

Gail
I had an absolutely fantastic time pet sitting for Gail and Peter. They were extremely welcoming and made me feel right at home. Gail was kind enough to pick me up from the station and show me around Mere and some of its lovely walks. Sixty and Tipple were fabulous to look after, they were very well behaved on and off the lead and are very sweet dogs that were great company. I can highly recommend to anyone!

Sarah
From the moment I arrived in Leiden I felt very welcome, Sarah & Ray made me feel so comfortable in their home. Cú was just a dream and easy to look after! He is such a happy, lovable, affectionate and sweet dog, he kept me well entertained and provided me with lots of cuddles. Communication with Sarah & Ray was easy and seamless. I definitely recommend Pet/House sitting for this kind and lovely family.
