I had a really wonderful experience taking care of Giulia’s cat Zizza at her beautiful home in Canterbury. Zizza is the sweetest cat and I’m so grateful to have had the chance to spend 2 weeks with him. He is very gentle and affectionate and he absolutely loves sitting on your lap cuddling and being brushed! He’s also very well behaved. He needs

Giulia’s home is comfortable and sparkling clean. You can walk to grocery stores and into the incredibly historic centre of Canterbury. The neighbourhood is peaceful and safe. My stay was in August so the weather was warm, and when I was at home, I often left the back door open so Zizza could come and go between the house and the garden (he loves spending time outside).
Giulia is very friendly and interesting to talk with, and I was sorry there wasn’t more time to spend with her. From the moment I arrived, she was very welcoming and immediately made me feel at home.
I highly recommend this opportunity if you love cats and are interested in seeing a very historic city. Thank you Giulia and Zizza for a really lovely experience! 😊This workawayer has chosen to keep their profile private, but can be contacted regarding this feedback by other workawayers.

I had the pleasure of having Maya as my cat sitter, and I couldn't be more grateful! Maya is such a kind soul – very calm, relaxed, and with a genuinely positive attitude. My cat warmed up to her immediately, which says a lot about the comforting presence she brings. It's clear that Maya has a natural connection with animals, and I felt completely

Mylene took care of my cat, Zizza, while I was abroad, and she did an exceptional job. I was initially anxious about leaving Zizza, but Mylene's capable hands quickly put my mind at ease. Throughout the stay, Mylene provided regular updates with photos and messages, making it clear that Zizza was comfortable and happy. Upon returning, it was

I had a very good experience at Giulia ! She went on Vacation for 2 weeks and I had the pleasure to look after Zizza. I even arrived a few days earlier to get the chance to introduce myself a bit and Giulia was really kind to meet me at the bus station and welcome me inside her home. I had a great times with her and she took the times to give me

Her home is beautiful with a very nice garden. I was lucky enough to have some sun during my first few days which was lovely otherwise I have been enjoying visiting Canterburry and the town near by. Zizza is a lovely and friendly cat, he has his attitude and love having his space but I found that he was actually very affectionate :) I even made a painting of him! So I do recommend Giulia for sure :) Ill be happy to come back if I have the chanceYou can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Jessie stayed at my house over Christmas while I was abroad visiting family. My biggest concern was to make sure that my cat was comfortable and that his needs were met. In the past I had had unpleasant experiences where the person I had entrusted my cat to had been careless and had not taken the situation seriously. That is why I was a little

Before arriving, we talked a lot via whatsapp and videocalled, which reassured me a lot. Jessie arrived at my house three days before my departure and this allowed me to get to know her and show and explain everything to her. While I was away, Jessie and I talked on a daily basis and she kept me informed about anything concerning my cat or the house. Her presence in the house definitely allowed me to have a pleasant and stress-free holiday. Jessie is a fantastic person with whom you can have very interesting and stimulating conversations, she is very open to getting to know and see new places, she is friendly and fun. I would be very happy to have her here again!

My stay at Giulia's house was absolutely perfect! Everything in her profile was 100% accurate and it was the example of an absolutely perfect workaway experience. I felt at home immediately with her and she even came to pick me up at the train station even though I arrived about 4 hours late due to plane delays. She is extremely kind, intelligent
… read more and caring. She was available any time that I needed something and left impeccable instructions for any possible scenario.
Of course, my stay here was to take care of her cat while she was away and Zizza is a really loving and great cat. He is laid back and I enjoyed spending time with him. He is affectionate and really enjoys spending both time with people as well as outside.
After these few weeks in Canterbury I can easily say, hands down, that I have walked away with a great experience, new understandings and I consider Giulia to be a new friend. She did a fabulous job of planning and spending a day with me to get to know me in Whitstable and really making sure that I also had a great experience. She is great at conversations and thoughtful. As I said before, I can't recommend her enough. I appreciate everything she has done for me and the opportunity she has given to me. Thank you again and if you have a chance to stay with her don't think twice!Feedback
