Cat Sitting in Chatillon

I have truly won the jackpot with Elena and Francesco. All the rave reviews about this amazing couple is well, well deserved. It was my first time on TH as well as my first time being away from my pets for 2 and a half months so I was quite anxious to leave my home and babies to complete strangers. My concerns were totally invalid! My pets warmed up to them almost immediately! They cared for each one of them like their own, maybe even better than I do! My dog Guapo had a little hotspot that didn’t seem to go away right before they arrive and they tended to it until it was fully healed! My elder cat Lexi with a seasonal skin issue also was in the best fur condition when I came back. They truly cared for the pets just like it’s their own and it really shows. Even my house maid who comes once a week was truly smitten by them! What touched me the most was the home cooked food prepared for me in the fridge when I came back, the home necessities fully restocked which they didn’t have to, the little gifts for me, my pets and my house maid - and a little portrait of me and dog painted by Elena.

Dawn and Kim seemed to love our house as much as they loved our cats! The cats were very happy and content, which is a testament to their great care. They were fantastic house sitters - highly recommended, no trouble at all. We'd definitely have them back again and have already spoken to them about it! Any pets would be lucky to have them sit and look after them - 5 Star!!

Sandi and Les were excellent sitters, the animals are so happy when they are here and everything went perfect!

Nicholas was an ideal house sitter. He arrived promptly, made an instant connection with Chai and was over and above great at looking after him. He took Chai on a multitude of adventures, updated us with photos every couple of days and kept the house in perfect condition. He even loaded the washing-machine with sheets the morning he left! We'd love to have Nicholas back again. 😊

Giovanna and Alfredo sat for us last year and we invited them to come back this year as we and Poppy our golden retriever liked them so much. Poppy was unwell during their stay and we can never thank them enough for the care and love they showed her. They are exceptional human beings and we can recommend them wholeheartedly.

The first words that come to mind are “Above and Beyond” - and that goes for everything. Reliability, communication, cleanliness, respect of my home, friendliness… and of course, dog care!! Elton is a recent revue adopted as an already well formed adult, hence he has his own timeline… He took to Den immediately, with Craig (and men in general) he has to observe and study them first… Craig understood this off the bad, and with neither fuss nor bother gave Elton his space. 2 days later I got a photo of Elton lying in Craig’s arms, tummy in the air… that says it all. To top off their wonderful skills they left gifts for all of us, even for the dogs. If you are lucky enough to have them sit for you, don’t hesitate. Wonderful, wonderful people 🙏🙏🙏 I can’t thank them enough!!!

Both Hanna and Wojciech were fabulous from the first video call. Exceedingly diligent with keeping in touch throughout the first booking. They both spent a large amount of time staying with Zoey and making sure she was well taken care of. I came home to a very spoiled and happy dog. It was a pleasure to have them here. Would highly recommend them to anyone needing care for their pet. Super

I knew the minute I met Jess in person that she was a great fit for us. She is genuinely lovely, adored our dogs and took care of our home. She was very professional in her attitude to the sit, checked every detail and was in touch during our 10 day holiday, sending photos and keeping me informed of their welfare. Nothing was too much trouble. My daughter unexpectedly needed to stay at our home and she and Jess hung out watching TV and sharing meals. Bryony said she wished she lived closer to her as she thought she was great! I have already asked her to sit for us on another occasion next year. I trust her implicitly and cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you Jess.

Some pet parents may be looking for the merest assistance - food in a bowl and a little attention for their pets here and there. That bare minimum is what you will receive with this couple. If that is good enough for you, then great. If not, you should understand that they are not suited to care for your home, and more importantly, your beloved companions. We were quite baffled by how underwhelming these two cared for our pets and our home. Teddy and Bear were fed, yes, but the particulars which were clearly stated in our initial video conversation, and are further detailed in the manual, were quite obviously not followed. Having grown up with dogs for 20 years and had the pleasure of cats as pets/companions for more than 25 years, it was quite obvious by their behavior (particularly Teddy’s) that the care we had requested of them was overlooked. The “plant person” in Lucinda was definitely not present either. We had left clear (in pictures and text messages) which of the plants needed care over the week. Random plants we had NOT requested to be watered or cared for had been (leading to overwatering) and others we had requested were completely neglected, some of which died (a few on our balcony). The respect of our kitchen was completely absent. We were quite taken aback to find dirty dishes, bowls, and glassware put right back in the cupboards, unwashed, stained, littered with food, wine, drink, even lip residue, as if they had been rinsed with water and just thrown back in. It would be impossible to have put them away in such a condition without completely neglecting soap and a dish sponge. It was really, pretty nasty. Throughout our time away, we asked how things were going and from the beginning tried to give reminders about the particularities (because they were late on arrival and we could not see them before we had to leave) to which we were constantly responded to with “I know.” They clearly did not know, or did not care, and used our home like a bachelor pad, trying to clear things up at the last minute, as if we had no awareness of, or insight into, our own home, pets, or plants.

My husband, Sugar, and I were so thrilled with Kay’s sit. She took excellent care of Sugar (who isn’t always the most straightforward dog!), sent us plenty of photos/videos, and communicated very well with us before & during the sit. Additionally, she took excellent care of our apartment. We came home to a very clean flat with cookies left out, cleaning supplies stocked, and a very happy dog. We can’t thank or recommend Kay enough. We feel lucky to have had a sitter like her!
