We had a wonderful time in Norwich in Dorothy's gorgeous home and looking after Teddy the ginger tom. Teddy was super sweet, quick to befriend us and gave us lots of lap cuddles. We felt very priviledged! Dorothy's home is quiet and peaceful, located in a gated community but on the doorstep of Norwich's centre. We visited the food market almost daily, and enjoyed lots of lovely walks through town and along the river. Although we didn't get to meet Dorothy in person (sadly!) she ensured that we were greeted by her lovely neighbour, shared helpful instructions and tips about how to look after her home, and even left us delicious home made biscuits! She's a super friendly host and thank her for all she did for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return to Dorothy's Norwich home again!
My husband and I loved housesitting in the Netherlands. Laura and Sasha have a beautiful house and live in a very beautiful neighbourhood. We arrived earlier in the day and Sasha and Laura showed us everything and we had a lovely time getting to know them. They went over how to walk Emas, including keeping him away from bigger dogs and showed us a beautiful walk in the woods to take Emas. They were also kind enough to let us borrow their car which was great to go explore the Netherlands and we were also able to take Emas with us on adventures. Emas is very sweet and cuddly. Donut was very shy but by the end of our time she grew more confident with being around us and came up for the occasional pat. Thanks again Laura and Sasha.
We had a wonderful time sitting for Caitlin and Hans. They have 5 of the easiest going pets we have ever encountered. Reuben and Rye, the dogs, may look tough but they are just big balls of love! The cats, Remmy and Cooper interacted with us a lot, while Phoebe, remained shy throughout our sit but did come out at night for some ear scratches, and they all are super sweet. Caitlin, left clear, easy instructions and the townhouse is very comfortable. Overall, it was a great couple of sits.
If I could give ten stars, I would. We absolutely loved housesitting for Natalie and her wonderful family. They were very thorough in their instructions on how to care for their pets. Fuz and Poppy were so cute. Fuz was a little timid but super sweet. Poppy was very curious, watched us closely, and approached us on his terms. Ruby was in and out, but we enjoyed playing and cuddling with her when she allowed us to. Natalie had a basket filled with fruit and freshly baked cookies (and a nice beverage for me) waiting for us when we got to the house. My boys were so excited to eat them! They were delicious. Thank you!! Owen drew us a map of their neighborhood so we could find the entrance to the Deschutes River Trail and also gave us great tips on where to hike and eat. We highly recommend this sit and hope our dates align to sit for them again.
