Poitiers, France
Resourceful Competent Kind
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
Poitiers, France
Loving, reliable house and pet sitter.
Vanessa is an excellent sitter - the best. She is calm, practical and really great with dogs - not to mention a lovely person. My young dog learned a lot from her and from her own, wonderful dog, Humphrey. Humphrey is definitely part of the team as far as I am concerned. Storm Eustice struck whilst Vanessa was 'sitting'. She dealt with the fallout brilliantly. Definitely 'self-sufficient'. Lots of initiative and energy. It was a potentially anxious time being away but Vanessa made us feel completely relaxed. We felt very comfortable with Vanessa and Humphrey in our home. We hope very much that they will come and sit for us again.

Hoping to discover all of France whilst housesitting.
Helen is a very nice lady, chatty, confident, organised and caring. She sent me pictures every day of our pets, and exercised our very energetic cocker spaniel twice a day! We came back to calm and happy pets, which we are extremely thankful for. As local to us she came to visit before our trip so we went away feeling secure and confident that our pets were going to be well looked after, which is exactly what happened. Thank you Helen for all your hard work!

I couldn't have asked for lovelier sitters than Eva & Guillaume. Their calm, happy energy meant my two boys were soon totally comfy and relaxed with their company. Eva sent me a little highlight video at the end of each day which had me smiling seeing how happy my animals were in their company and meant I could enjoy every minute of my time away with my family knowing all was going well at home. Everything in the house, stable and field was left spick and span and ready for my return. Thank you Eva & Guillaume from me, Bob & Bizarro you were absolutely wonderful.

Tracy & Lee We will look after your home and pets as if it was our own.
Tracy and Lee were excellent. We didn't actually meet but we chatted on a video call the day before. I felt completely at ease that they would follow my wishes as far as keeping the dogs on leads and had no worries at all about them sitting for us and caring for the house and dogs. I would definitely recommend them.

Jo was the perfect pet sitter for our elderly, sensitive whippet, Maud. She is obviously very experienced with animals and was so confident and cheerful that we had no worries at all leaving Maud with her. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

Shirani and Craig stayed for a week while we were away on holiday looking after our two dogs Hebe & Yogi and our house and Airbnb. They were absolutely fantastic and so helpful when we had a power cut and our gates wouldn’t work. We were often with no coverage on our phones but we’re patient and understanding. The dogs were happy and well on our return and the house spotless. I would recommend them for any future house sits. Thank you! 🐾

French retired Police Chief and Anglo/French retired wife. 5 star repeat sits.
Jacqueline and Gil are a very nice couple with a lot of affection for our dogs and our gray parrot. It seemed that they have got some problems to cope with the specified duties and with the technical facilities of our property.
Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
