Carla - Brussels (BE)
Anaïs is one of the most competent and charming pet sitters we have ever had. Her love and knowledge of animals was evident from our first conversation with her. She filled us with confidence that she would look after our animals superbly - which she did, spotting that our elderly cat was developing an eye infection (he is prone to them) and immediately going to get products to bathe and disinfect his eye - her experience as a veterinary nurse is obviously invaluable in these cases. She also spotted that he needed his claws clipped and took care of it. Our 4 cats adored her and seemed to spend as much time as they could snuggled up to her. Even the two who are very wary of people. She clearly made them feel comfortable and safe, which is a real miracle in their case - they usually dive under the sofa when there is a stranger in the house. Anaïs kept us informed of everything that was going on with the kitties and sent lots of photos and videos, which was great as I really miss them when we are travelling. The house was neat and tidy when we returned. In short, I could not recommend Anaïs more strongly. She is the perfect sitter and I would have her back any time our cats needed looking after in a heartbeat.
Alessia - Berlin (DEU)
We had a wonderful experience with Anaïs. The very first contact with her was already very positive, so that we decided to go with Anaïs very quickly. The organization and planning was very easy and she was very flexible. She even came to Berlin a day early so that we could show her everything in person and be there when she met Fritzi for the first time. By the way, he was also directly taken with her and has adopted her straight away from day 1. During our absence Fritzi unfortunately developed a very persistent eye inflammation. However, thanks to Anaïs' experience as a Vet Nurse, she took immediate action when it became apparent that it wasn't going to go away on its own. She immediately started cleaning his eye regularly and of course kept us updated frequently and gave us her opinion. We always had the feeling that Fritzi was in the best hands with Anaïs. She even trained him to have a certain tolerance for eye treatments and later showed me how to proceed. This was really top notch, as Fritzi is extremely allergic to having his eyes handled. All in all, we can highly recommend Anaïs as a sitter. She is a wonderful and pleasant person, she is reliable, professional, insanely nice, and takes a heart touching care of her Sitting pet. Thank you so much for the wonderful care, Anaïs. We will be happy to repeat this experience with you sometime in the future.
Ruth - Mallorca (ES)
Anaïs was a great sitter, and is a very lovely person. She was easy to get along with from the moment I met her at the airport, and my cats took to her straight away. She kept me updated with how things were getting on, sent some photos, and also communicated well when there were any queries regarding the house. Very self-sufficient, she found solutions for minor things without a problem, and made friends with some of my friends in the village too! I have no hesitation in recommending her, and would be more than happy to have her here again for any future sits! Thank you Anaïs!
Karlien - Herent (BE)
With a little heart we left our 8 month old puppy behind for the first time, but thanks to Anaïs we were able to really enjoy our holiday. Rufus is a sturdy Bernese Mountain puppy of 35 kg and a lot of adolescent pranks, which Anaïs could handle perfectly thanks to her experience. Anaïs came by once before our trip and we immediately saw a click with Rufus, which put us at ease. During the trip, we regularly received full and honest updates with details, videos and photos in which we fully recognized Rufus. On arrival we found a relaxed, well-groomed and above all very satisfied dog. Our house was also completely as we had left it and our plants survived the June heat. We would recommend Anaïs to everyone, but preferably not when we want to leave of course!"
