Testimonials
A lovely home and the sweetest company
My experience with María Rosa and Teti was wonderful, and I couldn’t have asked for a better first house sit on MindMyHouse. From the very beginning, communication with Maria Rosa was easy and warm. She was always very attentive, both before my arrival and throughout my stay, making sure everything was going well and checking if I needed anything. When I arrived, she explained everything I needed to know about the house and the area, and we stayed in touch throughout my stay, sharing photos of Teti and checking in on each other. Teti is a lovely cat. She needed a few days to feel comfortable with me, but once she did, we developed a beautiful bond. Since I work remotely, she kept me wonderful company during the day and, after a few days, she even started waking me up and coming to me for cuddles. I think, in the end, she kept me company just as much as I kept her company. The house is very comfortable, bright and spacious, with good ventilation and several terraces where Teti can enjoy herself. It is also very well located, close to the train and the beach, and to the Bari Center too, within walking distance. I’m especially grateful because this was my first experience on MindMyHouse, and it couldn’t have been better. I take away a really lovely experience and would absolutely recommend María Rosa—and would happily look after Teti again.

A healing place
Some house sits are simply about caring for a home and a pet. This one became much more than that. Maria is a warm, generous, and open-hearted person who made me feel welcome from the very beginning. Her home is peaceful and comfortable, and looking after sweet Teti was a real pleasure. Beyond the practical side of the sit, I truly appreciated the meaningful conversations and the time and meals we spent together. I returned home with beautiful memories and genuine gratitude. I would happily recommend Maria to any sitter and would love to visit her again one day.

Esperienza davvero piacevole. Sono molto contenta di aver avuto questa possibilità e di aver conosciuto la signora Pappalettera
La mia esperienza a casa di Mariarosa è stata semplicemente perfetta. Lei è una persona incredibilmente gentile, accogliente e generosa. Mi sono sentita subito a mio agio grazie alla sua cordialità e disponibilità. Il rapporto con la sua gatta è stato altrettanto speciale: una piccola compagna dolce e adorabile che ho avuto il piacere di accudire durante il mio soggiorno. Prendersi cura della casa e della gatta è stato un vero piacere. Grazie ancora per tutto!
