We were delighted to have Jean Baptiste and Emilie in our home. They are genuine animal lovers who took great care of our pets and with our house. It was also wonderful to meet travellers from France. I would recommend them to anyone.
Mary Ann and Pip were all one could hope for in house/petsitters. They are resourceful, adaptable, reliable and positive people and took great loving care of my older cat. While we had agreed on the sit months in advance, I unexpectedly bought a new house in the interim and had barely moved in before my planned trip. They agreed without hesitation (in advance) to stay at the new place, and were even helpful with little things that needed to be fixed, and with deliveries, correspondence, plants, etc. They developed a great relationship with Chernish (my cat), helping him to adjust to the new place and new routines, and carefully following guidelines I had written up. They communicated as frequently as I asked - providing photos of Chernish that put me at ease. On top of everything, there was an unexpected long cold wave in the area while I was gone - which they dealt with with good humor. It didn’t hinder them from exploring or figuring out how to run all their errands. They are interesting people, and enthusiastic travelers, and used their time here to get to know the local area. They looked after the house wonderfully and when I arrived home, I’m sure it was cleaner than I left. I would highly recommend Mary Ann and Pip as house- and pet-sitters, and would be happy to provide a reference or more information if useful.
