Marne took great care of our home and dog, Koli. Communication was easy and we sorted out all the details well in advance of the stay. She sent us daily pictures of him so we knew he was being well taken care of and our home was clean and tidy when we arrived back. Would highly recommend her as a sitter to anyone.
Megan, Jeff and Ruby are SO WONDERFUL! Megan & Jeff were very friendly and communicative from the get-go, and while they obviously wanted to be sure their sweet Ruby would be properly cared for, I always felt like they were equally (if not moreso) interested and attentive to my comforts, questions and accommodations--I truly felt like their welcomed guest. Everything was thoroughly explained and thoroughly cleaned when I arrived. I felt completely comfortable and safe in their home (which is in one of my favorite areas of SF). Ruby....I mean....RUBY. What a hilarious, sensitive and big-hearted girl! Could she be a bit of a pill sometimes? Sure! She should be, she's still a puppy! But as far as puppies go, she's absolutely one of the most well-trained, potty trained I've met. She's such a snuggle bug, she just wanted to be where we were all the time and was always ready for some love (I'm pretty convinced she had a crush on my partner, Ray). She's also a constant source of entertainment, but quieted down well after a good walk when I had to get work done. We both commented how much we missed Ruby already the moment we left! The only thing that made leaving not so bad was seeing how happy she was to see Jeff when he returned home. Jeff and Megan feel like old friends and Ruby is certainly my favorite new friend. I highly recommend hanging with Ruby (but only if I'm unavailable ;) ).
We had a great time looking after Floki and Rollo! They kept us entertained and took us for lots of walks. Both love a cuddle on the sofa and are great company.
The time I spent with Zelda, Miri, and Rudy was amazing and so fun🥰 They are so sweet and cuddly 😭❤️ Meredith and Matt were also so nice and prepared for me really well! Thanks to all of them, I really enjoyed the stay 💖
We had a wonderful time with Nala in Holt, which is a beautiful village. Very comfortable and spacious home. Walks close by. Nala is so well behaved and we settled into her routines and commands quickly so that she could also relax with us. Emma was a perfect host, answering all our questions before and during our stay.
Kitsu and Rosco are the cutest little love bugs you could sit! I loved looking after them and exploring the little pueblos nearby with them (they’re small and super healthy and can do pretty long strolls-especially Rosco). I was super lucky with the weather (November but sunny and warm) so even though it was off season (a few places were closed) walking around and taking in the gorgeous architecture was a dream. Nina and Saschas house is beautiful and comfortable. They were both super easy to communicate with and helpful throughout my stay. I highly recommend this sit for anyone who loves nature, beautiful surroundings and cute little pooches :)
Met with Mike and Kim the night before they left and what a pleasure! They were so nice to take me out to dinner and point out some highlights in historic downtown. It was great getting to know them and their beautiful pups before they left town. Alex and Annie are so much fun and so cuddly. We had fun playing in the backyard, hanging on the deck and cuddling on the couch. Annie slept with me every night. The house is also amazing. Sat out on the deck every night and listened to the local music from a local venue. There is also a hot tub for your use - I didn't partake, but will next time! Absolutely enjoyed this sit and can't wait to return again.,
