Leaving a pet is always stressful as well as choosing the right pet sitter and being comfortable with their care while you are away. Meeting Mary and Carl, we knew right away that we had made the right choice to care for our Golden Brody while were away. Brody had just lost his brother about a month prior to our going away and was having some difficulty adjusting to being without him and was sad and had started to crying a bit. I advised Mary of this and she was not in the house 5 minuets and was down on the floor getting to know Brody and consoling him! I could see the warm and caring couple they were right away ... Brody is older and fairly easy and does not require to much, so I wanted Carl and Mary to have some free time to enjoy their time a bit as well. But they were most considerate of Brody and the time he was left alone. Spending quality time with him in the morning and in the evenings. Mary was very attentive to his sadness and gave him lots of extra care and love and was so attentive to his grief. This is all you want in a pet sitter! They were very considerate of my home and most helpful when we had a heating problem on one of the last days. I would highly recommend Mary and Carl for for your house/pet sit anytime! Their passion for pet sitting and giving the best care possible was so heartwarming and certainly showed in all their communication and updates we received while away. Thank you Mary and Carl and we hope to cross paths again!
Jessie was the perfect sitter: she communicated well before arrival and given this was a New year sit, she did well to get to my flat the day I left. She was respectful of my home, very affectionate with Suki and from her comments definitely hung out with Suki and played with her. I got photos and updates. Jessie left my flat clean and tidy, it was like having a younger member of my family stay. Thanks Jessie, you even went back for me when my flight was delayed overnight, which was above and beyond but really made me feel better that I knew Suki had food and could get out.
