Yennia and Nico were beyond incredible! They were able to calm and relax my very anxious border collie. They knew how to care for him and followed all our instructions. They were reliable, trustworthy and very kind.
Their communication was brilliant, we received multiple photos and videos daily. They even took Archie rock climbing! Archie loved them both!
We came home to a happy dog, spotless apartment, with flowers and a beautiful note. I recommend them 100%.
“Tilde absolutely adored them and she clearly had the best time with them.”

Yennia and Nico were the most amazing and experienced dog sitters we have ever had. Our Portuguese Water Dog, Tilde, absolutely adored them and she clearly had the best time with them when we were away for nearly a month. They took her to the beach and on dinners and picnics and outings. She had her own holiday!
They took daily photos and videos to keep us updated and reassured and I could see how happy and relaxed Tilde was.
They made the effort to come and meet us and Tilde before the sit and we talked through all the details of her care together and complicated feeding regime! Tilde can be a bit anxious and sensitive to change but they clearly knew how to give her enough attention and loving care to make her feel safe and happy.
They also took excellent care of our house and we came back to everything spotlessly clean, the plants healthy and there were even flowers and a letter addressed to Tilde about how much they had loved looking after her. What amazing people!
“I would recommend Nico and Yennia to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful and honest sitters for their pets or home.”

Nico and Yennia cared for our dog Hunzo recently across Cup Weekend. I would recommend Nico and Yennia to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful and honest sitters for their pets or home. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with and I feel very privileged to have met them.
Nico and Yennia looked after Hunzo and our home for about a week, and I could not speak more highly of their approach. They were kind, warm and entirely genuine upon first meeting them. From the outset it was very clear that they truly enjoy spending time with animals. They kept in regular contact, sent photos of their outings with Hunzo and included him quite naturally in their day-to-day routine.
Our house was left spotless, with a considerate note and flowers waiting for us when we returned.
It is not often you come across people who feel this trustworthy and easy to welcome into your home, and we felt quite fortunate to have found them!
Thank you so much Nico and Yennia - you are two beautiful people whom I am so glad to have met.
