Dog Sitting in Calmeilles

As I read their application along with their reviews, especially the one from Vanessa, I also had a feeling that I didn't want to miss out. Even so, I had a 20 minute WhatsApp conversation with them before confirming and I immediately felt comfortable. I couldn't be happier with their stay in my home. Our communication leading up, during and after their stay was excellent. They fully understood what was expected of them and asked the relevant questions. They were a delight to meet and I was able to fully relax to enjoy my travels as I had complete confidence in them. Marcella bonded with my black, male cat, O'Neill, the loner who hunts and doesn't have much to do with humans, my highest compliment to her. Upon my return, Mika, my older cat, was meowing at the bedroom door where the couple slept, looking for Stewart and Marcella, who had left. Another bravo ! Trixie, the youngest, obviously very happy as well, as she was calm and content. Everything was immaculate upon my return, which I greatly appreciated. They were considerate and knew I would be very tired and jet-lagged after my long voyage over 7 time zones. I would highly recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to have them stay at my home again.

Matias and Fernando were really good, self-sufficient and made sure cats were taken care of with sufficient updates through the sit, recommend them! I also had the chance to grab tea and cake with them before the sit and see them interact with the cats, immediately hitting it off with them.

We agreed to the sit quite early and therefore had time to get to know Claire. She is quite experienced when it comes to house/pet sitting and prompted us to be more organised. During the sit we had constant updates and nothing was too much trouble including giving the dog diarrhea meds. Infact, I cannot thank her enough for her flexibility and willingness to help when our flights got cancelled/delayed etc which made it one less thing to worry about! Her reassurance on "We got this" made a 16 hour delay less painful.

If Osvar and Flor apply for a sit….just hit accept! They were AMAZING! Just super polite, easy going and looked after our dog, garden and house with much respect. It was so lovely coming home to a clean and happy home after our little family holiday. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Osvar and Flor to look after your home/pets/garden.

Bettina took excellent care of our pets. When Moka hurt his paw she took him to the vet and kept us informed of his condition. Except for the period when he was limping too much she took him for walks daily, the proof being his clean, fluffy coat when we returned -- it had rained every day that week. During the days we overlapped she was a friendly, interesting yet unobtrusive presence. She left the houses as clean as she found them. We're delighted to know that she'll be staying in the area for studies and hope she can sit for us again.

It was lovely to meet James and we really wish him well on his travels. If you get the opportunity to meet him and he look after your pet/s then I really recommend you do. He is calm and easy going and at the same time totally on it with pet regs and looking after the house.

Joanne was so wonderful the first sit with our puppy, we invited her back again and would have her back anytime. Marley just loves her so much, and you can tell she really cares for the dogs she sits for too. He’s happy, well cared for when we return, and really misses her after the dog sit. We have peace of mind while we travel knowing he’s in good care. Our home is also spotless on arriving home. Would highly recommend!

I would give 6 Stars if it were possible. Reta is the dream sitter for all cats around the world. Our cats just loved her. I fear it will be hard for us to keep up the next days. Reta was flexible to come one day ahead of our departure to meet cats and also stayed till we came back. She informed us frequently about our kiddies and is very reliable. Reta is a quiet, well organised lady who we highly recommend. We look forward to contact her again.

Hamish was a very friendly person when we met. All the animals looked well cared for - the only downside was that the house was unclean.

They arrived in perfect time and listened well as I walked them through the needs of each animal. The herd are elderly and two needed some special care, including one who needed a little bathing of her eye with a cataract every day. They were confident and gentle with her, and all the horses and cats were relaxed and happy when we arrived home. The house and horses yard and barn were wonderfully cared for and clean, and the veg garden well tended and also well harvested, with much of the harvest put to the freezer, all of which was really appreciated. I am very grateful to these two wonderful people for keeping every one of the animal family happy and relaxed and loved. Highly recommended.
