Miriam and her partner are welcome back anytime. They were excellent stewards of our home and little dog. Three weeks is a long time and unexpected things can and usually do happen. Miriam was prompt, calm and even a little humorous in letting us know what was happening on the home front. For instance, though our neighborhood is quiet and friendly, wouldn't you know that in the first week a minor traffic accident occurred right outside our house. No one was hurt, our property was not damaged, only a downed street sign. Later, a cluster of electric outlets stopped working in the kitchen and Miriam did all the reasonable things to figure out the problem to no avail. Fortunately plenty of other outlets were available to use. We had a bit of a heat wave with no rain and Miriam and I communicated about extra watering for which I was grateful. As a former homeowner, Miriam was familiar with the things that can come up and deals with them in a straight forward logical manner with no drama. It was so nice to come back to a home that felt lived in-in a good way! Clean and tidy, plants upright and smiling, no stuffy vacant house smell, and a puppy who was enthusiastic about seeing us but not in that post-kennel desperate way. Miriam is a wonderful communicator. We agreed on a check-in about every 4 days and sure enough she would send a brief text and a couple of photos of things she knew we would be interested in: proof that the fig tree was sprouting leaves, the columbine was blooming and the dog was having a great time on walks and riding in the car with her nose out the window. When Miriam inquired about our home she had a couple of needs: high speed internet and an outlet to charge an electric car. No problem on our end and we appreciated that she made clear right up front what her requirements were. She gets my highest rating. Your home and pet are in very competent and respectful hands with Miriam.

Dara and Gar
Simply a wonderful experience! Dara and Gar's place is remarkable, truly an authentic Centro hacienda home with modern conveniences for a comfortable stay.

I was provided with a comprehensive house guide filled with suggestions to restaurants and things to do. Being smack in the middle of Centro the Mercado was steps away, super convenient and made for an interesting daily browse!
In advance I agreed that Dara would visit for a week during the sit - She gave me tons of privacy, however, she is a lovely, interesting woman and I truly enjoyed conversations with her.  She also kindly invited me to a couple of get-togethers with her friends- It was evident how loved Dara and Gar both are by them.

Communication was stellar, Dara took swift action on any issues that arose.  The housekeeper Letty was personable and super helpful- she visited twice weekly.

Last but not least the highlight of this assignment were kitties Frida and Fiona.  A beautiful pair of siblings, friendly, curious and playful. Frida is smaller of the two, she especially enjoyed being on my lap, nearby, petted and always the first in bed haha. Fiona is a little shy at first but eventually liked lap time and her belly stroked on her own terms- beware given the chance she'll move in on Frida's wet food! They are sweet, not big talkers and will let you sleep.
My constant companions, prepare to have your heart ripped out on departure, sniff.

Thank you, Dara and Gar for your kindness and generosity. I can't say enough good things about this sit!!!

Housesitting for Sherry was such a breeze with cute and easy kitties! Tiger and Tiger Balm are highly active, playful, and affectionate kitties. They really started showing their clever personalities in the last five days we were there. They are super smart and sometimes fearless, lol. We will surely miss them! Sherry gave clear guidance and also provided nice accommodations in a safe and quiet neighborhood, garage parking, and use of state park and beach permit for free parking in the region! We really enjoyed Monterey, Capitola, Santa Cruz, and even a day trip to San Francisco! If you ever get the opportunity to sit here, you won’t want to pass it up, as it was surely a blessing!
