Dear Lamia

Dear Lamia,
We are very happy to give Malcolm Westwood a reference. Our animals were happy and well cared for and the house was looked after whilst we were away for nearly a month. Malcolm also made us a very nice beef stew and cheesecake for our return which was very thoughtful.
Yours Jane Rueb.

Thank you Jane for your lovely review. We know that Malcolm enjoyed his time housesitting for you. Great to know about his culinary skills too. Always an added benefit when a homeowner can return home to a ready cooked meal. Lovely gesture on the sitter's behalf. Kind regards. Lamia

Excellent response and house sitters superb.

We have had two separate house/cat sitters. One from Australia and the other from Ireland. They have both been terrific and indeed are now good friends.

Very pleased with HouseSit Match

We have only been members of HouseSit Match for a few months, and already we have secured two great house/pet sitting assignments.

Lamia is always quick to get back to us with any questions we have, and their website is fairly easy to navigate.

Overall, I have no hesitation in recommending HouseSit Match.

Complete satisfaction with HouseSitMatch

We are totally satisfied with HouseSitMatch. We have received prompt and helpful assistance from Lamia every step of the way as we were quite new to this. We have been confidently able to relate well to each petsitter and fulfil the necessary requirements to leave our cockatiel and home for several weeks on each occasion.
The sitters have been experienced and very competent. They have kept in touch with us whilst we have been away which proved very reassuring, and have been caring and considerate towards our pet and very respectful of us and our home.
We have no hesitation in recommending HouseSitMatch so that you may also enjoy a carefree vacation knowing that your pets and your home are in safe hands.

Highly recommend HouseSit Match

This is now the 3rd time we've used HouseSit Match and we are absolutely delighted with the service. It is so easy to use and all the sitters we've had have been so lovely and loved our kitties (and spoilt them!) and looked after our home, we would (and do!) highly recommend this excellent service.

House sitting is nothing other than a…

House sitting is nothing other than a bundle of benefits to all concerned. Empty houses rendered more secure. Reassured holidaying home-owners. Domestic pets able to remain in familiar places, quite apart from being fed and entertained. Nomadic people indulged in their quest for new experiences in relative or sometimes real luxury. But all this is not self-generated. Brains behind are needed and that is where HouseSit Match’s Lamia comes in. Her company creates opportunities, coordinates them, promotes best execution and comes up with solutions should the odd spot of bother occur. To the well set-up organization she adds her own personal touch, in general and if the situation demands it and her near-constant availability is a hall mark. That apart, she keeps her the set-up under review, striving to make it ever more efficient. And informative and interesting. Little wonder that there are countless high ratings and happy owners and sitters. I am one of the latter. Might one day settle down with a cat of my own but before that, hope – with her help - to carry on exploring for many more seasons.
