We had a very comfortable house/cat sit at Jens House . The house is well positioned for lots of lovely walks along Orewa Beach and is close to Gulf Harbour and Whangaparoa. Lots of lovely cafes too. Jen was excellent with her communication and left clear instructions for everything . As Jakey their cat had recently had an operation , he was quite shy and elusive but still managed to share some pats with us . Of course on the last day he appeared for a big cuddle and a play !! Thanks so much.
Lovely warm comfy home and a very easy cat who was happier outside Jakey did always come in for feeding and the night Owners lovely people Would deff sit for them again
I've enjoyed my short sit at Jen's. The house is modern and warm and only a 5 mins drive away from Orewa beach. Jen is great with communicating while she's away and has always responded promptly when I had a question or sent through updates re their cat Jakey. Jakey is a young cat who is a bit on the shy side but when he turned up he's very affectionate and friendly. Thanks for having me stay Jen.
