Danika recently took great care of our two cats while we were out of town for a week. We really appreciated how she sent us daily updates, with photos and even a little video. When we returned it seemed as thought the cats hadn't even noticed we were gone, and even our very nervous cat seemed relaxed! I would highly recommend Danika as a trusted pet-sitter.

Sue
Sue’s lovely home is nestled in an idyllic setting, steps from the neighborhood lake and nature trails. The house is like a fairy tale cottage, and the backyard, complete with babbling brook, is so relaxing. The neighborhood is a historic, gated retreat in the tiny town of Tuxedo, NY, just 20 minutes from shopping and other needs in Northern NJ. It’s the best of both worlds! 
Midge and Socks are two super sweet pups who love to go for walks on the trail. Midge will snuggle on your lap in the evening! Her cats Blackie and Mickey are also very nice. Blackie is a senior kitty who loves to be pet, while  Mickey is quite shy. We loved getting to know all the animals - we miss them!
Sue’s large kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, and the home is beautifully decorated with souvenirs from her time in South Africa. 
We had a fabulous time and took full advantage of the restful nature of Sue’s wonderful house. We would love to be asked back! Thank you!

Max, Nicky and the whole family are just the loveliest - and sitting was such a pleasure. 

Max is such a sweet, gentle, well behaved dog, our walks and beach trip were a relaxing weekend highlight. He is super easy going and a cuddly affectionate sweetie. 

It was a privilege to house sit, and I’m inspired by the warmth, elegance and love in this family home. All the best! x

Dawn
What a great experience for our first Sit.   Dawn is truly a wonderful person, she is so easy to communicate with.   It was a pleasure spending time with her.  We so appreciated her allowing us to spend the night before.   

Titan & George are definitely fun.  They love to play.(at first a little shy but by the 3rd day they would come to us to play.)  They are both very affectionate.  Titan right away and when George warms up to you he won't let you out of his sight.    Spending evenings watching tv with them in our laps or across our shoulders was such a cozy feeling.   We found it was best to keep some so of schedule so that they knew what to expect from us.  I think it made it easier on them to warm up to us right away knowing what was going on and when.   

We have to admit when we returned home our house felt empty without having them around.  Michael said this morning "I really miss those little guys"!!!

Even though the weather was a little off and on rain every day, we were still able to spend time in the pool or going out to do things.   Ft. Myers is our favorite vacation spot.

Thank you so much Dawn for letting us take care of your fur babies!!!

Louise
I had a lovely time looking after Loui in Louise’s beautiful home. 
Loui is an absolute delight, he has such a sweet nature, he’s relaxed, loves a lie in and snuggling up on the sofa. 
What he’s the most passionate about is his frisbee which he adores and will be happy to retrieve for as long as you’re willing to throw it for him! In my case ages, who can resist those beautiful, big brown eyes 😍
Louise is very welcoming and full of ideas for great walks and places to take Loui out and about locally. Along with parks nearby to play frisbee there’s also lovely walks along the river with cafe’s and pubs along the way. 
I’m really happy to be going back to look after lovely Loui again in a couple of weeks.

Oliver
We had the honor of being referred to Oliver by mutual friends and pet sitting clients who we sit for frequently. 

Bill and Bertie were absolutely the highlight of this sit. They are both gorgeous specimens of their breeds as well as very sweet and easy to care for pets. Bill is very obedient and good at off lead walking—we had great walks twice a day and even some lovely extended walks to the woods and lake nearby—all by foot as we were warned Bill can get motion sick in the car. Bill and Bertie have mealtimes throughout the day—Bill 3 times and Bertie 4 times per day. Bill was my shadow and I loved having him as my buddy throughout our stay. 

The 32 chickens are some of the most beautiful and interesting chickens. The chores are easy and don’t require too much time. They are scheduled 3x throughout the day, morning, 2pm and dusk (5pmish in February). Egg delivery to the neighbors was also an easy task 1 time per week. 

The property is lovely and will be especially beautiful come spring and summer as Oliver has curated both botanical gardens and a nice sized vegetable garden.  He also has a lovely pond. We did not have any requirements during February of feeding the fish, but there are many lovely goldfish in the pond and a mated pair of Mallards and other wild ducks that frequent the pond. 

Oliver was responsive via What’s App for communications despite being in Australia with a large time difference. Occasionally there were requests to clear the video/security cameras of cobwebs that he would get notifications on. Oliver also left one of the most detailed Welcome guides we have had in over 50 pet sits. It was a helpful reference, especially when distributing mail to the two on-property tenants (to remember who lived where) and what days to put out what bins on the weekly rubbish collection. We almost never saw the tenants and it had no impact on our privacy or stay. 

Oliver was very gracious and left many groceries available for our use during the stay. We especially loved the fresh juicing oranges and had several days of fresh squeezed orange juice for breakfast—such a treat, we are hooked. He also offered my husband his prepaid swimming spot at a local private pool, but unfortunately my husband’s work requirements for his job just didn’t permit him time to make it there to use it during our stay. Oliver also stocked up the wood for the log burner which we enjoyed using every day. 

Our sit was for 3 weeks, and we spent most of our time on the property. With our own remote work combined with preferring to cook our own meals in Olivers lovely kitchen, as well as the schedule of chores, we found that we really didn’t have much time to get out and about. We had our own car and would say a car is needed as the sit is in a rural setting. Sainsbury is probably less than 2 miles from the home and easy to access. 

We would recommend this sit for anyone interested in a quiet, relaxing sit in an idyllic setting. You won’t be bored or lonely with these amazing pets, chickens and wildlife
