From our first video call we felt Lucy would be easy to communicate with, flexible, able to take our situation/requirements on board without issue, and someone we could trust. These initial feelings were reinforced once we met and during her sit. We agreed she should come a couple of days before we departed so we could show her round the neighbourhood and explain the details of the house and pets. We left confident that our house and pets would be well looked after, and this definitely proved the case. Unfortunately Lucy developed a cold on arrival and was certainly under the weather initially though she did not let this interfere. Lucy did a great job of looking after Jake and our new cat Simba, demonstrating a great love and care for them, soon winning the affection and confidence of both. Simba,being in part feral, has always been vary wary of any strangers and immediately disappears as soon as anyone calls round, but even before we left Lucy had gained his trust. We also lent Lucy our L200 truck, having put her on the insurance, and this was also well looked after. Lucy did encounter some issues with the internet and other minor problems, but via phone calls Lucy was able to explain the problem and I to provide a solution which Lucy had the technical ability to understand and thus resolve the issues. She kept in regular contact with frequent photos/videos of what the pets were up to and did a good job of looking after the house, even sweeping up the copious amounts of leaves that had fallen. It was a pleasure to have her stay, we wish her all the best in her future travels, and hope she will come and sit again sometime in the future. We have no hesitation in recommending her.

We would absolutely come back and house/pet sit! It’s a beautiful home and Kris and Keith are fun, responsive, and sincere! Their cats are also very friendly and easy to care for!

At my arrival Leah send me a car for picking me up at the train station, (because of her broken leg, she couldn't do it herself) showed me around and we had diner together.
This Sit was and still is wonderful. Simba, the cat is such a sweetheart, at the beginning she was very shy and fearful. The flat is in a beautiful position and the view, (it’s a million Dollar view) and Leah is such a lovely and generous woman. Leah couldn't go to the hospital until later, so I was able to spend 10 days with her. This allowed me to get to know Leah better and she spoiled me a lot. Due to the late entry into the hospital, I am now here longer. Unfortunately I have to go to another sit before Leah gets home. But after that sit I'll come back to be with Simba again, if needed.
Leah's instructions and introductions for the stay were well organised and clear. She was super easy to communicate with before and during the sit.
And also super sweet is her lovely cat Simba, we became good friends and enjoyed most of the time together. Simba is so heartwarming and cute. Most of the time she lies snuggled up against me on the sofa. I really enjoy this time with Simba. I also loved my many hikes along the coast or explore old towns around here.
The house was clean and comfortable, I immediately felt at home. I really enjoyed my stay in this lovely well equipped flat and caring for Simba. It was a pleasure to be there. I highly recommend this sit. 
Thank you Leah for choosing me. I’m grateful for your trust and this wonderful time in San Martin Roquebrune.

Kallista
I really appreciated my time here in Chelsea. There were so many pluses to this sit! The apartment is very well located, sandwiched directly between two key metro lines. Kallistra was really kind, down-to-earth, and accommodating. She was absolutely heroic in permitting me to coordinate sending three small packages to her home ahead of my arrival for upcoming travel. She was very responsive before and during the sit, which was lovely. She was also very considerate, offering to let me contact her if needed, which was very helpful.

With the upmost gentility and respect, the only downside was that I had to spend my first few hours cleaning and clearing the spaces. Indeed, a fresh towel set with bedsheets was provided, with many gracious thanks to Kallistra! In retrospect, it surely must have just been a matter of time constraints and different perspectives on preparing for a home visitor. However, this was the first time I felt compelled to wash up and disinfect the countertops, sinks, bathroom, rugs, and floors upon entry for a kitty-sitting gig. I am not sure what THS' host regulations are regarding preparing a home for a sitter, so it's just to gently be aware of. And again, the place was neatly arranged for my arrival, just not cleaned.

Everything else was absolutely perfect, though. And Boy was an entertaining pleasure to care for during my stay. He is VERY, VERY, VERY playful—probably the most playful of the kitties I have cared for through the app thus far. He has this adorable personality where, like a puppy, he drops to the floor the moment you touch his nose and then rolls around like a horse in the meadows wherever he drops. Agghhhhh! Just to melt for! Taking his cue, it’s easy to tell when he wants his beloved belly rubs. And he is 100% always up for playing with his toys.


It can’t get much cuter than that.
