Franco and Cecilia looked after our Cavoodle and house for a month. They were friendly, open and honest. It was easy to communicate with them and we left feeling confident that our place and dog would be well looked after. This was definitely the case as we returned to a clean, tidy home and very happy dog. We would happily recommend Franco and Cecilia and hope to request them in the future.
Franco and Cecilia were the most amazing cat and house sitters we could have wished for. They absolutely spoiled Max, kept the house incredibly tidy, and communication throughout was flawless. Beyond that, they are simply genuinely lovely people. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a perfectly looked-after house — in fact, Max didn’t even seem particularly happy that we were back! We would not hesitate to recommend Franco and Cecilia and would happily have them back anytime..
Franco and Cecilia are a lovely couple, they looked after my 4 fur babies really well as well as the house they even let the littlest one snuggle in the bed with them which she would have loved 🥰 Definietly recommended and as I type this they are already on their second stay at mine.
Franco and Cecelia have been simply first rate reliable sitters. They left with the House in top condition and cleanliness. Both animals were very well looked after and the dog got lots of walks and the cat obviously had his coat combed daily. Even when we arrived home, after the initial greeting our dog went out to the corner of the porch, I think looking for our houses sitters to Come back. We/they have already committed to them sitting later in the year.
We had a great experience with Franco & Cecilia. They were excellent to deal with. Communication with them it was great, we kept receiving updates of our pet which was awesome. Not only that, they took care of the garden and all the plants in the house really well. I would definitely have you guys back at home on another ocassion. Thanks!
Franco & Cecilia were excellent to deal with; we returned to our house being cleaner than when we left it and our bed was made. We had absolute trust in Franco and Cecilia who were great communicators and very practical. Best of all, our animals were very happy. Thank you, Franco & Cecilia You are welcome back if we go away and you'd like a HB holiday. We promise that it won't rain!
We had a wonderful experience with Franco & Cecilia house sitting for us. They took amazing care of our cat, Kaya, kept our home tidy, and communicated clearly throughout our time away. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. They were also very accommodating to our schedule. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and would happily have them stay again.
Having Franco and Cecilia housesit for us was a fantastic experience. They took incredible care of our 2 cats, providing regular updates, and administering medication to our elderly cat. When we got home the house was clean, tidy and well looked after and our cats were happy and healthy. We Highly recommended them 🙂
Excellent sitters, always quick to communicate and willing to help. Pets were very relaxed on our return and had been well cared for. House was very clean and tidy and all was in order. Highly recommended.
Franco and Cecila are lovely people and did a wonderful job petsitting our two dogs. They looked after them so well and the dogs loved them. They also did a great job looking after our house. We would love to have them back. Thanks Franco and Cecila.
Franco and Cecilia made the effort to come and visit us a short time before the house-sit. This gave us the opportunity to discuss the various needs of our two cats and the maintenance of plants and garden etc. Communications were prompt and clear. Updates were provided as agreed and we felt very comfortable with these two lovely people looking after our home and pets. We returned to a spotless home and two very contented cats.

Franco & Cecilia were great, house was tidy when we returned and they even washed the bedding (thanks guys!). They sent us updates and they let us know about issues they picked up. Peanut (our cat) was happy and fed. Thanks again for looking after our baby while we were away!
Franco and Cecilia are amazing. Thank you so much for taking care of our home and our dog Bella I would highly recommend Franco and Cecilia.
We have thoroughly enjoyed our vacation as our home and dog Phoebe were taken care of for 6 weeks. Phoebe had a great time with our sitters. You guys are awesome 👌
Franco & Cecelia have been reliable sitters. The condition of the house on returning home was exceptional with everything clean and tidy. They had even left a small gift.(thanks guys) The cat appeared well feed per instructions and happy. The lawns had been mowed as requested. Our arrangement was for communication if any issues arose. Franco got in touch with me immediately on the 2 occasions this arose. Thanks for a worry free sit.
Franco and Celia did an awesome job of looking after Moosie while we were away in Australia. They left the house spotless and baked a lovely little treat for us and Moosie looked very content on our arrival home. They were responsive on Whats app and kept us up to date with what was happening at home. Thank you both so much :)
Franco and Cecilia were absolutely amazing as sitters for my dog. My furbaby was treated with so much love and care, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in the best hands. Communication was excellent, with regular updates, and when I returned, my dog was happy and well cared for. On top of that, the house was spotless, which shows the level of attention and dedication they put into everything. I will definitely trust them again in the future!
Franco & Cecilia were fantastic - from visiting our house before hand to looking after our house and cat while we were away. Great comunication and left the house in a fantastic condition - thank you! Amanda
This was our first time using house sitters and we were so lucky to find Franco and Cecilia! They looked after, both our cat and our home wonderfully. They sent through photos of our cat Archie, while we were away and left the house super tidy. Hope Franco and Cecilia would stay again if we went away - can not recommend these two more highly! Thank you Franco and Cecilia!
Franco and Ceci were wonderful housesitters. They looked after our place for just over 3 months and when we returned everything was as we left it. They looked after the garden really well and managed to snuff out a mouse infestation which was occurring in the garage. They are super friendly and gave us regular updates while we were away. We would certainly recommend them to anyone!
Franco and Cecilia were absolutely fantastic- the cats were happy, the house super clean and they were super responsive as well. Would give 10 stars if we could. Thanks again!!
Franco and Ceci were amazing house and dog sitters. My young pup is quite shy and anxious but warmed up to them both quickly given their willingness to play with her and their gentle approach. My house was also well looked after and was very clean, all plants cared for too. I highly recommend this couple!
Franco and Cecelia were great house sitters. Was nice to return to a clean and tidy house with two very happy cats. We loved the regular updates regarding our 2 fur babies and their communication was excellent. Would highly recommend
Franco and Cecelia were excellent house sitters. They took great care of my pets and looked after the house perfectly. It was immaculate when they departed. Highly recommended.
5 STAR++ experience! I can't praise these two magnificent guys enough. They took time to visit beforehand to meet us. Communication was quick and easy. Throughout the sit-in they sent me photos and videos of my pets to reassure me. They cared for and loved my fur baby, taking him on long walks and giving him a lot of cuddles. They even managed to build a relationship with our slightly shy ex-feral cat. When I returned, I found very happy pets and a immaculate house that everything has been ... More5 STAR++ experience!

I wholeheartedly recommend Franco and Cecilia as housesitters. They have taken wonderful care of our house and cat while we've been away and stayed in contact during the time. We would not hesitate to ask them to look after our house again, if the need arose. They are friendly, reliable and excellent communicators and they left the house very clean and tidy. Thank you so much Franco and Cecilia, we really appreciate you.
I cannot give more higher praises than for these amazing couple! They have taken such good care of our dear cat Lamington, they were always communicating with us and sending photos. They have left our house spotless and tidier than ever, literally my partner and I are so impressed by them. We would recommend and will definitely contact them for another cat/house sit! Thank you guys again so so much!!
Franco and Cecilia were wonderful Housesitters for us. Our home was immaculate on our return. Both our dogs were happy and contented. Franco and C ecilia were great communicating with us while we were away, updating on our dogs and the house. We are looking forward to having Franco and Cecilia house sit for us again in the future.

Franco and Cecilia are friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with. They followed all instructions we gave them. We highly recommend Franco and Cecilia they were the perfect house and cat sitters. They are kind and amicable and really looked after our home and our cat with so much care.
Franco and Cecilia are a warm and friendly couple. They took excellent care of our house, large lawn and house plants. It was wonderful returning after 7 weeks away to a clean and tidy house. Your communication before during and after your stay was much appreciated also. I can recommend them without reserve and would happily have them stay again, Thank you so much!
Ceci and Franco were absolutely incredible house sitters. They took great care of our house and precious Ralphie too. They took amazing care of Ralphie and she obviously had a great time based on the videos! They were great communicators, both before and during our trip and left our place immaculate upon our return! We would highly recommend Ceci and Franco. They are great house sitters and generally lovely people. Snap them up if you get the chance!
Franco and Cecilia were perfect house and pet sitters for the 6 weeks I was away. Mia (the cat) was clearly very well looked after and well-loved while I was gone. They took care of any small issues that came up in the house and handled a problem with one of my aquariums very well. All my indoor plants were thriving. The house was perfect when I came home and even though no garden work was asked for the outside was also clean & tidy. Communication from beginning to end was always timely, ...

Communication from beginning to end was always timely, clear, and wonderfully friendly. I would have them back in a heartbeat and can highly recommend them to anyone else needing real ‘care takers’ while you are away from your home and animal family. Thank you both again for everything.

Franco and Cecilia are fantastic house and pet sitters. This was the second time they came to my apartment and they did a wonderful job again. They looked after my puppy and cat, and also my indoor plants. They were very friendly, trustworthy and loving. They kept me updated with messages and photos of my pets, who loved spending time with them. They also left my apartment immaculate and followed all my instructions. I was delighted to find my home in such good condition and my babies so happy! ... MoreFranco and Cecilia are fantastic house and pet sitters.

Franco and Cecilia were amazing house sitters. I could tell from the moment we met them that our house and pets would be very well looked after. Quinny had a great time and was sad to see them go. The house was left immaculate on our return and they delayed their trip to Wait for us to return home before leaving. Would have no problem in recommending Franco and Cecilia to anyone looking for great house sitters. Thanks again guys
