Bravo
My name is Bragi and I am born 1956 and raised in Iceland. My last job for a few years was as a security guard with a company named Securitas . I mostly worked for Securitas in the summer and then went House sitting in fall/winter. I have also done a lot of different work both in hotels for over 10 years and at farms. I started doing House sitting in 2015 and done it every year since. But this time in 2020 I am retired and I have started fulltime house sitting . Been in UK . a lot since then but also been in France,Netherland,Switzerland and Spain. I have good reviews on my profile and I am very proud of that.

-We were really fortunate to find Bragi to take care of our indoor animals(two cats & a dog. He was very positive he sent photos of our pets to us while we were gone. He was not only very responsible but also kind and loving to our pets. We highly recommend him ..

-We are just back after two weeks in Mexico and found the dogs and the house in a perfect state. Bragi waited for us at the door at 1 o'clock at night to welcome us with the dogs who look better then when we left them !!! So we are very happy to have found this solution to be able to go on holidays . Bragi is a very nice person we liked him from the first moment and we wish him lots of luck in the future and hope to have him the next time !!!

-Bragi was a very friendly honest and kin man we felt very comfortable the minute we picked him up from Orihuela. We received photo's and a beautiful video of our cat stretched out looking blissfully happy while we were away on holiday . Sebastian (our cat) was loving being brushed and cared for by Bragi. We felt very relaxed knowing that our beloved cat was being looked after by Bragi. We also knew our house was in safe hands and it was secure. We had tried catteries for our cat but he was so stressed out when he came home we thought that we could not put him through that again. Would highly recommend Bragi all our neighbours loved him too. He even retrieved our post for us ..

-Thank God for Bragi. Our sitter cancelled at the last minute and Lamia quickly and efficiently set about finding a replacement. Bragi stepped in a few days later while we were gone. Thanks to his keen eye he noticed our little Bella was passing blood and notified us. We had a friend take her to the vet. Brag made sure to fill her prescriptions and administer the meds to cure the infection and we came home to find her all better. The dogs could not have been in safer hands. We were so far away and had crappy internet. It all worked our fantastic. We can not recommend him highly enough. You can trust your loving pets with him. We certainly hope we get lucky enough to use him again. Thank you so much Bragi for your help.

-This is the second time Bragi has house sat for us. This time it has been for 3 months divided between both our Spanish and Danish houses. He does an excellent job! In Denmark we have 4 horses 3 dogs and 2 cats. In Spain we have 4 cats. The animals absolutely love him even our very reticent dog Thomas took to him and was quickly affectionate which is unheard of for him! Our animals and property were so very well taken care of. Bragi is very conscientious a good problem solver and always willing to go out of his way to help out. He always keeps us up to date sends pictures and lets us know if there's something out of the ordinary. We highly recommend him!.

-First time I have left my 3 cats in 5 years and couldn't have asked for a better house sitter. Bragi was just perfect 10 out of 10 in all aspects the cats loved him. He has a natural affinity with animals and it is plain to see his love for them in genuine..

-Bragi loves animals and you can tell this with the way they react to him. Would welcome him back to my home to look after my three dogs anytime..

-Bragi was terrific for the whole week we were away. Looking after our dog beautifully and the house was immaculate on our return. He communicated so well with us during the week and we felt very happy with Bragi in charge of our home. Our dog is missing him!.

-Bragi, is wonderful to have in your home and look after your pets and your property. I have three large dogs and this is not a problem for him as he is super confident with animals. He is so caring and does not like to leave them for very long at all, he talks to them sits with them and gives them lots of hugs and attention. Personally, I wish he could house sit for me every time I have to leave my animals as they really cannot be with anyone better. They really miss him when he leaves and this is the second house sit he has done for me. Meanwhile, he got on well with all my neighbours and they asked him round for dinner and drinks. Will definitely have to get in early Bragi for you, when I next have a vacation!.

-Bragi was great. He just loves dogs and did a great job of looking after the house. As requested ,he contacted us when necessary, so the whole week went to plan. He also had the chance to visit others in the area for whom he has housesat in the past. 5 stars.

-Our house and location are quite a challenge, being off-grid and remote. Bragi was not phased by either and kept the house running well and the dogs happy whilst we were away. Great to come back to a tidy house and all systems working well. Thanks Bragi..

-Having grown up on a farm Bragi is a natural with animals, and got on marvelously with the two dogs and a cat, who clearly loved him. He was well organised , and left the house clean and tidy, having watered all the plants that needed it, and dealt with a blown bank of fuses, having found the fuse board cupboard, which I had not thought to show him. He does not drive in England, so does need to be relatively near to shops etc. I would certainly recommend him, and be delighted to have him again

-Bragi was great with Tilly and they clearly had a great time together. Tilly is now well known in the community and enjoyed her visits to the pub! Bragi communicated well and looked after the house. We were very happy with the way it all went and would welcome Bragi back again..

-Bragi spent 12 days with our 2 dogs and cat. On our return we found happy and relaxed animals. Everything neat and tidy, he even cleaned my car. Thank you so much Bragi, the animals look forward to having you to stay again, as do we..
