Emily and Greg were our first housesitters and it was a wonderful start for us. They went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable with us and even more important, that Rebel was comfortable with them. I was fortunate they lived in the next neighborhood over so they stopped by several times to walk with Rebel and me and the day before our trip, Emily came by to take him out alone to ensure there were no issues with a stranger coming into the home while we were gone. In addition, Rebel is a large rescue dog and, although he is usually well behaved, none of us were sure how he would be when we left as we adopted him during the pandemic and we have been home pretty much 24/7. In addition, she had to attempt to keep Rebel from consuming too many cicadas which was a chore in itself. All went perfectly. Our house was left tidy and she even had to clean up some things that Rebel got into - he loves pillows, tissues and plastic bags. This was by no means her fault, we left them where he could get them.....and he did:) Emily communicated with me by text daily and we talked about how it went once we returned home. We came home to a happy dog which of course made us very happy and more comfortable with doing this again. Feel free to reach out to me if you need more information about this housesit. I would be delighted if they were able to housesit for us in the future and recommend them without reservations.

Jane
We spent some incredible days at Jane's house. From the very first moment she was very attentive and helped us to feel very well and at home. The place is beautiful, quiet, with lots of vegetation, a short drive from all services, in the middle of the forest where we saw deer, beautiful butterflies and endless experiences. Sammy is a beautiful, very intelligent, good and obedient dog. She walks very well and was very fun and loving. We left her with great sadness. Thank you family, because thanks to you we have been able to get to know England. Thank you with all our hearts.

I really enjoyed my sit. These four are very loveable and cuddly. Good walking companions. The local area is great to explore. Barb was very welcoming and her home is peaceful.

Debra
I strongly recommend the opportunity to housesit for Debra and Art. Scout is the sweetest pup, just a big lovable baby who gives back all the attention you can give him. And more! And he is really easy to care for. Deb and Art’s home is very comfortable and well-organized, and is located in a very secure, gated community. Stores and many restaurants are within easy walking distance, so once there I’d say no car is needed. I very much enjoyed staying there and taking care of Scout!

Rolo and Frank are friendly and lovely boys. Frank is energetic and loves licking. Rolo is sweet and likes to stick to feet. They are very easy to walk. We walked a long time from home to Ealing Broadway and parks. It's a lovely weekend with them.

James welcomed us into his home and showed us around, he went over the important info and left detailed instructions on Deegan and the home before leaving.  The views from the house are spectacular! and only a short drive from the lovely town of Blowing Rock.  Deegan is a sweetheart you will fall in love with and so easy to care for.  I can highly recommend this sit and would love to go back!
Thank you James for allowing us to care for Deegan and stay in your beautiful home.
