House sitter testimonials
The mutual trust exchanged by all parties has restored our faith in humanity!
Hello, My husband and I wish to provide some comments because we are delighted with the successful results that we have achieved as members of your website. Following a three month sit in England from May to August, we did two smaller sits in the Loire Valley in France (both English couples). All of these sits were initiated from your website and we feel very comfortable in saying that they have been win-win situations for all parties concerned. Into the bargain, we have made three new sets of friends and can now provide three new references from owners who have already suggested that they will offer us house sits in the future and refer us to their friends and family. The mutual trust exchanged by all parties has restored our faith in humanity and the experiences have been so good, that we find ourselves looking forward to many more house sits during the years ahead. Thank you for providing this service at such a minimal charge.

Home owner testimonials
She spoilt the dog completely (as we do!), and looked after the house beautifully.
Hi Susan, I would now just like to tell you that we were sooo happy with the response we had from our ad for a housesitter to look after our Dalmation/house in Spain over a 5-week period this last Christmas/NewYear. We were so inundated by lovely replies (and I mean lovely) over a 36 hour period, that I eventually had to stop the ad online. Everyone sounded so nice/suitable that it was a very hard decision to make as to who to go with! My husband - who was very skeptical to begin with - was amazed too!!
I have to say that the housesitter we chose was wonderful - and we will stay in touch as friends. She spoilt the dog completely (as we do!), and looked after the house beautifully. We will definitely use your site again - and maybe even as housesitters in the future!!! - as we would like to spend more time in both N. Zealand and Australia visiting both children who have decided to make their lives that side of the world!! Thank you very much, and our best wishes for your continued success with your website.
