Cat Sitting in Aigre

Jeff and Norma were so great from start to finish. They kept us informed of their arrival plans and kept the house immaculately. In fact, we arrived back to freshly baked cupcakes (which my boys tell me are AMAZING - I am yet to cave in to temptation!) and freshly laundered and folded sheets. They kept us informed of everything and sent us regular updates and pictures of our dog. He looked so happy and has definitely made some friends by the time we returned. In fact, I think he has been pining for them since!! Thank yiu

Leah and her two little people, Lily and Arthur, are henceforth to be known as The Dream Team. We don’t go away often but when we do, we want Leah to come, but she’s usually fully booked - for months! Leah is very transparent, she’s brilliant with animals and ours love her. She knows exactly what she’s doing and her organizational skills are out of this world. Leah left the house spotless, the animals are always calm when we come back and we just know that they’ve been well cared for by the three of them. I know that Krafty, Django and Newton will miss them!

Kate was totally reliable in every respect. She came when she said she would, and left when she said she would. To facilitate her and our departure she came and stayed the night before and we spent a very pleasant eveing together. She was good at sending us photos of and reports regarding our dogs, a matter very close to the heart of dog owners deserting their dogs for any prolonged period! Either or both unexpectedly came into season during our absence, and she coped well with that, hopefully avoiding any illicit and unwelcome liaisons with the boys in the area ! Despite dreadful wet weather she coped well with the house and left it looking very neat and tidy. She even washed bedding and towels which I didnt expect, but was a welcome reduction of the post holiday chores. I did put her in touch with couple of my local friends as coming to a new area can be lonely if you are a sole sitter and I think she became interested in activities going on here as much as time allowed. We would be very happy if she were to return when we need further housesitting. We certainly had no doubts about her reliability during her stay

Julia was very kind and gentle with our two dogs and they sensed her sweet personality immediately. She arrived on time, took in all the information we gave and took the dogs out on her own to get to know them, which went very well. We returned to find the dogs well cared for and the house clean and tidy. Thank you Julia. We really appreciated your care and time.

Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic looking after our two ( mad) spaniels for a week while we were away. She kept us informed of what was going on but was obviously super competent and always on top of things. She was charming and great to work with. A wonderful houseguest!!

Tesa and Jorbis looked after our dogs Nelly and Koni for a week and I can only recommend them! We had many experiences with the app and so far they have been the best sitters we have had. They had a lot of patience with our dogs, specially with Koni, were very organized and tidy and, the most important, the dogs were really relaxed when we arrived back! We’d definitely recommend them to anyone :)

Eugenie looked after our cat Casey while we were away for a long weekend. Communication beforehand was smooth and once Eugenie had arrived in Lund we received a daily update which was much appreciated. On return, the apartment was very clean. We did not get the chance to meet Eugenie as we left before she arrived and vice versa at the end of our trip, but everything went very smooth and I would not hesitate to recommend Eugenie as a sitter.

Sandra and her son were such lovely sitters for Ruffy, she took to them straight away and was obviously very relaxed with them. We kept on touch during the sit and Sandra always responded. They left the house clean and tidy and enjoyed the local area, it was lovely to be able to give some advice on where to visit. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who would like their family pets looked after in the best possible way. Thank you so much

Audrey really bonded with Dicey and he seemed very happy and comfortable in her presence. She is definitely a cat person and we felt at ease as soon as we met her. She sent us constant updates with cute photos at meals and playtime. We came home to a very happy boy! Our house was spotless upon our return which we really appreciated as well. It was cleaner than when she arrived. We did have an issue at the start of the stay where Dicey was let out and lost which caused us extreme anxiety and stress while we were overseas and powerless to help. To her credit, Audrey followed all of our instructions to leave the front door open for him and stayed up the entire night waiting for his return. She also spent hours looking for him before it got dark. Her response to this crisis was timely, responsible and efficient and we managed to get him back. Mistakes do happen and cats are extremely smart so we are still happy with the housesit, but feel like it’s important to mention that there’s no harm in leaving very clear and specific instructions and perhaps changing certain rules while you’re gone (we normally allow our cat on the deck with us which is how this happened). Thank you again for looking after our baby.

Kelvin was a Godsend! I was coming and going from home to England , and Italy and Kelvin settled in so well. as he is such a tough athlete with his bike and running shoes, he would sprint,walk or cycle the 7kms to my garden to feed Tom,Gingernuts and Tigger and the 2 baby tortoises now in their garden pen. He is very self sufficient and explored the Hérault valley on his bike. Very calm, very quiet we would be able to work alongside each other in my office area or upstairs living area. Stan was very smitten by Kelvin and for that I was always grateful. I would love him to return one day!
