Testimonials

Awesome Housesitter

Petra exceeded our expectations, from the moment we interviewed her on WhatsApp, until she left to return to her home. She cared for our dogs as we would care for them: plenty of walks, firm and consistent rules, and as well, some much needed extra training. Our dogs very much missed after she left. Upon our return home from our 3 week trip, the house was spotless and our outdoor plants thriving. Neighbour's are still commenting on the care she took of our dogs and home. Our only regret is that we had so little time with Petra.

Great experience having Petra to take care of my house and dog

Petra is a super friendly, lovable woman who is very easy to get along with. She agreed to stay almost three weeks with my dog in my house. I really enjoyed to get to know her and the way she took care of Zelanda (my dog). The house was in perfect conditions and I always had good communication during the time I was away.That made it possible for me to relax and enjoy my vacations although I was far away. I would definetely recommend Petra if she offers to take care of your house or animals, and I hope to see her again soon:)
