Anne and Toni are very experienced house sitters who will make you feel at ease while traveling. They have been going back and forth to Finland by car and by sheere coincidence happened to be in Riga for a personal introductory meeting, which has never happened to me before. After a nice chat over coffee, they agreed to house sit for me on this and one future occasion. They didn’t even get scared off later when Latvia decided to go into a three weeks lockdown that would negatively affect their stay.
As a non driver, I wasn’t much help finding a cheap long-term parking spot for them, but they just figured it out themselves. Traveling on four wheels, arrival and departure date seemed very flexible on their behalf. Communication has always been easy, steady and straightforward both before and during their house sit.
As digital nomads, they will spend a lot of time with your pets. Even though they didn’t have much experience with rabbits, they seemed to get along well with my very opposite bunny pair. Max doesn’t care much about anyone, but Ella likes human attention, and when I come home from a trip and she didn’t get enough of that, I can tell because she will be clingy for days. After Anne’s and Toni’s house sit, she was completely relaxed. Needles to say, the apartment was tidy and my plants taken care of.
I can totally recommend Anne and Toni as house sitters and look forward to welcoming them again in a few weeks.
This was the second time Anne and Toni house sat for me, and it was a pleasure welcoming them again. They already knew my two pet bunnies Ella and Max from a recent November sit and seemed to re-connect right way. Anne and Toni again spent most of the time at my apartment, fed the bunnies with fresh greens (which they also had to buy mid-stay) and gave the bunnies access to my balcony so that they could play in the fresh snow. They also took action right away (after careful consultation with me) when my hairy boy Max had too much hair in his tummy and gave him some supplements to “keep things moving”.
On Christmas Eve, the sitters surprised me with a few very cute Christmas bunny photos, posing in the fresh snow or next to some Christmas decoration. Since we did not get to meet in person before they left, Anne and Toni wrote me an in-detail “hand over” via messenger, dropped the keys in the mailbox and left a spotless apartment for me to come home to, with the sheets and towels hanging clean and almost dry on the rack. I truly hope that someday in the future Anne and Toni will drive through Riga again and look after my bunnies. The pets and I have been very happy with them both times.
