  Liz & Graham, Mapua, New Zealand16th April 2018RE: Reference for Ana & Jim – wonderful dog and home sitters – March 2nd – 17th 2018.To whom it may concernWe count ourselves very lucky to have found Ana and Jim on the Trusted Housesitters website when on the hunt for someone to look after our dog Daisy, birds and home while we went on holiday.Ana and Jim were great, going out of their way to come and meet us all which was really reassuring as we’re fairly new to Trusted Housesitters (this was possible as they live fairly nearby to us). We even arranged for them to house sit for us when we went camping over summer too! Ana got me into using ‘What’s App’ which was great as she would send us regular messages and photos keeping us up-to-date during both holidays and it was so good to know that Daisy was being well cared for in her own home. I’m pretty sure Daisy has been missing all the attention she was given while we were away! On both occasions when we returned home, Daisy was very happy and the house was immaculate. We would not hesitate to have Ana and Jim again anytime. We would be very happy to give either a phone or email reference if ever required, please ask Ana for our contact details. Kind regardsLiz & Graham Ussher

  One of the joys of Trusted House Sitters for us, is meeting lovely people.
  Jim & I recently spent two joyful weeks caring for Liz & Graham's young dog Daisy, their home, garden & canaries. Daisy is pure delight! She has a soft & loving personality & for a young dog she responds really well to commands. She loved her massages!
  Meeting beforehand to go thru everything was great. Liz also left clear & easy to follow instructons
  for Daisy's care & home care.
  This was our second pet/home sit for Liz & Graham & we would sit for them again in a heartbeat.
  Many thanks Liz & Graham.

  It was a pleasure to have Ana here to look after my house and cat whilst I was away.
  Her experience showed with a complete understanding of what was required from both parties and all went swimmingly.
  I would certainly recommend and use Ana again for my trips away as she is very easy to deal with... + More

  I would happily pet/home sit for Kim again, in a heartbeat. Our communication from the beginning was easy & clear. I loved my time in Kim's home, caring for Ollie, his sleek black cat. Ollie took a couple of days to suss me out & then decided I was the bees knees. I appreciated that Kim took the time to show me thru his home, how everything worked & went over Ollie's feeding routine with me.
  My time in Dunedin went all too quickly. Many thanks for everything Kim... my experience was an example of pet/home sitting at it's best.

  It was a pleasure to have Ana look after our animals and our house. I felt confident immediately when I met her. She kept me in close contact with how things were going while I was away with photos and info. I look forward to having Ana again in the future. i hope she will want to return! + More

  I would happily pet/home sit for Lynne again in a heartbeat. I really enjoyed caring for Freddie. He was a delight & stayed close to me all week. He loved his massages! Ritchie, the cat, I didn't see often, but he was easy to care for. Lynne's home felt like a peaceful sanctuary.
  I appreciated that Lynne left clear instructions for Freddie & Ritchie's care & their routines.
