Vika is such a lovely person. She is calm, professional and was very loving towards our dogs. She also took great care to come and meet them and to walk them alone before she did the sit. Something she suggested. Vika looked after our three sighthounds for a week whilst we were abroad, housesitting and keeping them to their usual routine. She kept us informed with photos & kept the house beautifully tidy (which was so nice to come home to!). Vika bonded very well with all our dogs, one a rescue greyhound (Galgo) who can be a little nervous and two whippets. She was brilliant when one of the whippets was slightly unwell, taking him to the vet, administering his medication and calmly dealing with the situation. We are very hopeful that Vika will wish to sit for us again. Undoubtably she will be very popular to book, for others. She is brilliant and we highly recommend her & we will certainly be in touch to book Vika again in the future.

Vika is always so caring of our pets and keeps us up-to-date while we are away. I recommend her very highly.

Vika came and stayed with Coco while we were away for two weeks. She looked after him and the house beautifully. Coco is a funny little soul and can be tricky to handle at times. But Vika took her time with him on a few meet ups beforehand. I think they got along well and the check in messages and photos sent were really helpful. I will definitely book Vika again in the future.

CAN’T BE TRUSTED. Very disappointing. Booked for, and she readily accepted, a 6 hour sit in our home. The evening before she told us she’d have to leave for 1.5 hours during the sit. Due to the late notice I reluctantly agreed. In the end she was absent for 2.5 hours. We had to leave the restaurant for our anniversary dinner early as we could see she hasn’t returned in 2.5 hours, at that point we didn’t know whether she was ever returning to feed our dog let alone sit with him. Reluctantly she agreed to adjust the booking to reflect the actual hours sat, but was churlish about being caught out in what essentially is theft. She finally and reluctantly apologised just as she walked out of our front door. When someone cheats like that, how can we possibly trust her with our pet, our home, our belongings. Her other reviews are very good, but this kind of behaviour isn’t a one off. Beware or get cameras.

Vika is a wonderful house-sitter - so caring for the pets (a cat and dog) and leaves the house spotless. She is reliable and a great communicator. I recommend her without hesitation.

Vika was an amazing sitter for Loki and he was very happy when we got home. Highly recommended.
