Simone and her family were great sitters and took excellent care of my home and our pets. I would definitely recommend.
Asa took care of our seven horses, four dogs, four cats and chicken for about three weeks in October / begin November 2021. Since I had mentioned that I would prefer her not being alone here with all our animals, she had « organised » several (rider) friends to stay here together with her. From the very first moments on, Asa showed an incredible flexibility. When arriving at our place, our dogs and cats wouldn’t move away from her, our cat Poppy even moved into her sleeping room from the first day on – we almost got jealous! As Asa has been a „horse person“ from early years (the same as me), it wasn’t necessary to explain the whys and whens and hows, and during the overlap days before our departure it was a working hand-in-hand and making rides together to show some of the itineraries. With her fresh, cheerful, humorous, direct way Asa gave us the feeling of having friends around with us. We really enjoyed these overlap days that we could pass together with her and her friend Christina before our departure, sharing rides, work, food and wine. We were almost sad when we „had“ to leave, but we knew at the same time that all our animals were in best hands! There were some unforseen situations during our absence, the horses made several „horseplay nonsense“, but Asa controlled the situation. This was the general tonus, when Asa says „I manage“, you can believe she does! So we had absolute peace of mind, knowing that Asa was there and managed! Also, my husband Régis had to return earlier from holiday than planned, I asked Asa to continue to stay and handle the animals. Asa is top, far away from being „squeamish“ she manages all kind of situation, sees where things need to be done and starts to do them, all this paired with a great flexibility – a real „horse person“! (yes, this has become like an insider term). We enjoyed the time we had with her, our dogs and cats did the same, the horses had daily workouts and were in a good shape when we came back. To Asa and her friends, a big THANK YOU for everything! We hope to see you back again (Lycian Way in Turkey?), and pass our hello also to Christina and your other friends who stayed here with you! xxxx Katharina, Régis and Selen
