I had a great time in Melanie's home. She was really helpful and answered all my questions regarding the area and her cat.
I enjoyed my time off and I would recommend petsitting for Melanie to everyone!

That was a very perfect sit! Kate was very welcoming, helpful & always around when I had questions & she is just a hilarious & lovely person. 
Bruce is an angel. he was indeed my best friend during my time there, plays with me, gives me cuddles and lots of love. such a joy he brings everywhere he goes & gets a lot of attention (and he wants a lot!!) haha. the house is well-decorated, very comfortable and lots of greenery inside. Indeed beautiful. The neighborhood had a few parks around (bruce has lots of dog friends there!) and a lot of nice shops, pubs and a 5 minute walk Aldi!

I certainly feel attached to bruce and still miss him a lot. would absolutely recommend this sit & would love to do it again if I’m around! ♥️🐕

We have been lucky enough to spend six wonderful months with Lucydog. Lucy is fantastic and incredibly sweet. She is very well-behaved. It takes some time to break the ice, but after that short adjustment period, she will be a very loyal friend.

She needs two walks a day and occasional playtime with the stick to keep her happy all day. She is trained to always catch it. The park or the school playground nearby are great places to tire her out. Dog walks are very easy; the city is walkable, and there are many options in every direction, so it never gets boring. We took her to the farmers market, which is open every Sunday.

On the weekends, she enjoyed long hikes with us and chasing the stick. Throughout the day, she hangs out with us when we work or chill. Sometimes she wants a cuddle, but not for too long, she always let us know. At night, she waits until we tell her “Lucy, go pipi poopoo.” Normally, she never does much, but this was part of the routine before we went up to bed. She sleeps in her bed or sneaks under the edge of the bed. She is a long sleeper; 8-9 hours is not a problem. We had quiet nights. In the whole time, there were only two nights when she was up at night. One time, she alerted us because we opened the tailgate of our car accidentally, which we figured out the next day. 😂

We brought her to the vet once because she suffered pain in her paw. Henry took care of organizing everything for paying the bills. Food was also delivered regularly. We have really enjoyed our time with her and hope to see her again.

Spending the winter in Canada was a unique experience for us. Luckily, the winter was “mild,” and we only had to shovel a few times. Even shoveling was fun! Kingston is very quiet at this time of year, but when the sun comes out, people come back. There are lots of things to do, even in the winter. One of our favorites was Lemoine Point, where wild birds eat out of your hand. Crazy! There are wild blue jays and owls. Steffen also enjoyed the opportunity to go ice fishing. We also enjoyed our weekly pizza Fridays with freshly made pizza from the pizza oven. There are also many good restaurants in Kingston. The area is safe; we weren’t afraid to leave a delivered package or forget to lock the car. It’s a really good city to raise kids and have a fulfilling life.

Kristin, Henry, and the kids are very kind people. They prepared everything to make us feel at home. This was a very long sit, so they made room for us almost everywhere, which we didn’t expect. Communication was always easy, and they made us feel that they trusted us. They also always gave us the feeling that if something unexpected were to happen, they would support us, which was very reassuring.

The house is big, clean and easy to maintain. We rearranged a table in the living room to have a second workspace. The internet is reliable and fast for streaming, but we recommend plugging a cable from your PC into the router, especially if you have two video calls at the same time in different rooms. The yard is spacious; they have a fire pit and different grills.

We highly recommend sitting for them and enjoying life with the adorable Lucydog. 💕

Lovely thatched character property in a nice area.  Pauline & Robert we’re wonderful hosts, ensuring we had all the information required for a smooth sit.  We had a lovely evening meal cooked by Pauline and had a nice evening getting to know each other.
Jess (the dog) was a pure delight, walked without the need for a lead and let us know when she needed to go out or when it was bed time.
Pauline & Robert we’re very generous and even bought us a gift back from their holiday. 
We would recommend this sit.

Wanda and Eddie are super generous people who helped us have a great time watching after Bella and Milo. The dogs are smart and easy-care. The house is comfortable and located a short distance from all amenities. Sitter needs a car.
