Hey THsitters!
What are some of your favorite quotes from your reviews!?
I liked it when the HO wrote: “I have no complaints.”
Thankful that I’m lucky enough to smile reading all of my reviews, although the nervousness seemingly never fully dissipates while I’m waiting for a new one to hit the inbox after I depart a sit.
Blame it on my competitive nature but seeing “the best experience” with detailed notes on reviews will leave a smile on your face for weeks. I actually check HOs reviews to see if they say this to other sitters before/after my arrival
But nothing will ever be more heartwarming than folks complimenting my dog who accompanies me on sits. And that isn’t just from a sitter perspective but from being a pet-owner. For her to peacefully and lovingly interact with dogs, cats, birds, etc just makes my heart so full when others recognize how incredibly sweet she is.
Sweet topic
A HUGE thank you to Annette and Brendon, for looking after our home, and Senior Peppa Pug. We literally struck gold when you reached out to us, and we couldn’t have gone away for a month, without you. I was so anxious leaving our rescued, senior, boy, Peppa with strangers, until we met Annette and Brendon. Instantly all my fears were alleviated on meeting you both…
“Could not have wished for better sitters”
Love you too @ziggy
Not a review, but a text message, “They were definitely excited to see me but after awhile they were looking around like but where are the other humans haha so think they miss you too!”
I like thinking that the pets miss us when we are gone!
Love this topic, thank you @HelloOutThere!
Toot, toot:
I sit with my two teenage boys, and I really loved that this homeowner reviewed them too!
Our pets Pippin and Deano were beyond pleased to have Ed and Will - Debbie’s teenage children - coming to stay with them. With their lovely parents, of course!
It was as though a switch was flicked on by their arrival, as when they walked in through the door, both animals went straight out through the other door - to play! Will and Ed obliged, brilliantly! Our car set off out of the drive unnoticed by Pippin who has at times run out to the leaving car. So we knew that this was a family who understood dogs.
We returned to a pin near house, and we’re grateful for many lovely photos of their stay
Thank you
Maggie has been a truly excellent house sitter. She made and confirmed all the necessary arrangements very quickly, arrived as planned and needed almost no support or help. She bonded very quickly with both our dog and cat, to the extent that our dog XX achieved a level of detente with our cat XX that we hadn’t experienced before. She left our house clean and tidy and we couldn’t have hoped for a better sitter over the two weeks we were abroad. A perfect experience, we’d thoroughly recommend her.
What a fantastic topic @HelloOutThere - it’s great to see everyone sharing their positive feedback from sits - keep it coming!
“Suzanne was a true superstar when I broke my hip whilst away on holiday and our return home was consequently delayed for a few days. Suzanne immediately offered to stay on to take care of Buddy until we returned. I don’t know what we would have done without her. She proved herself to be incredibly accommodating and level-headed in a crisis”.
“Suzanne leaves the house clean and tidy, with everything in working order. In fact, the washing machine had started to play up just before we left but was working again when we returned; Suzanne’s magic touch?”
I am adding “Superstar” and “Washing machine whisperer” to my CV.
Two of my favourite feedbacks on THS we have received include “ The only sitters we have ever invited back in all our years of using THS…they are that good “ and “ We’re so grateful to have found such thoughtful friends we can trust with our dogs and home completely “
Most original feedback though was “ I wish we could clone you“
Pet magnet (moi) is my favorite
"If I could get Shella to do all my sits, I would.
THS needs more Shellas."
Am I allowed to have a favorite sitter? Diane would be it.
We just received this whatsapp message…
“Wow, the house is cleaner than I have ever seen it. When can you come and stay again! ”
