Here are a few testimonials:

Hans and Marijani were wonderful! They sent us regular photos of our kitties and mail, maintained our hot tub, watered our plants, and cared for our house. They left it tidy and it felt very welcoming when we came home to such a clean house with happy pets! They were really good at communicating with us and we felt reassured knowing they were taking good care of everything. It's no wonder they are in demand and are housesitting for people around the world. We hope to book them for another stay.

We’re very happy to recommend these lovely people who have taken very good care of our beloved elderly cat - and of our house. Our first experience with cat and house sitters and we were nervous but Hans & Marijani are great: experienced, thoughtful, responsible, reassuring and good communicators. And good company! If they are ever available to do this again, we would be lucky to have them.

Hans and Marijani are excellent sitters. The cats were very happy with all of the care and attention received. They felt very loved. This included Pickle injuring his paw and needing treatment at the vet. I received regular photos and reports. I was so happy that the lawn got cut! Twice because of the rain and sun encouraging growth. Everything was clean and tidy. Nothing was too much trouble. These are kind and considerate sitters and I would definitely recommend them.
