Rita is such a kind and caring person! Our cats befriended her quickly. She is a great communicator and very responsive to our requests. She took great care of the cats, plants, and the apartment. We hope she’ll come back again!

Overall, this experience was disappointing. It felt like Taylor and Dustin prioritized their vacation over pet care. I understand that pet sitters may want to explore the area, and I have no problem with that. However, in this case, they were gone a disproportionate amount of time, leaving my dogs alone for extended periods. They would leave the house around 10 AM, return around dinner, and then go out again for several hours. When I expressed my concern, they essentially told me, "this is our vacation." One day, I had to ask a friend to feed the dogs when it was almost two hours past feeding time.

To be fair, I take responsibility for not setting clearer expectations or asking more questions upfront. Had I known they would spend so much time away, I would have chosen someone else.

There were positive aspects as well. Dustin diligently watered my newly planted trees every morning, for which I am very grateful. When they were home, my dogs received plenty of love and attention. Taylor was excellent with communication and coordinating the details of their travel. The house was left in good order, although I did have to do a lot of cleaning and laundry afterward.

It saddens me to leave a less-than-positive review because I believe Taylor, Dustin, and Whitten are genuinely nice people. However, I cannot recommend them for pet sitting. The time I spent worrying about my dogs significantly diminished the joy of my time with my family.

I had a great time watching Rufus! Kirstie and Johan were amazing hosts who helped me get settled and oriented before they left on their trip. Kirstie made sure I was connected with local friends in case I needed anything and took the time to show me around town/the neighborhood. The area is absolutely beautiful and there's transit nearby to explore beyond the town. Rufus is as Kirstie advertised, an old man who likes his downtime but still loves to be with you. He completely transforms into a puppy again when you play ball with him - that was my favorite way to bond with him ;) Overall, this was a wonderful stay and I'd highly recommend it!

Bella and I had an amazing time taking care of Steve and Sue's cats, Gracie and Charlie. We were fortunate to also have a bonus pup, Teddy their grand-dog. The kitty siblings enjoyed playing with their toys and each other, and were very affectionate. Teddy is the most gentle and loving doodle. He behaves very well on his leash and gets along with everyone else at the nearby park.

Sue and Steve are wonderful and generous hosts. They organized a family dinner the night before they left where we met their extended family and ADU neighbor. We sat at the large table on the back porch, under the trees, with birds singing and doggies chasing each other. 

One could not ask for a better kitchen suited for a proper chef. If you're into coffee, then you will be in for a delight. The coffee machine automatically grinds the beans, and makes an assortment of beverages. We were left with plenty of food and drinks. Sue even left homemade lasagna and Hungarian mushroom soup for us in the fridge.

We cannot say enough good things about this sit. If given the opportunity to care for these lovely animals, in this gorgeous setting, for this great family, do it.

Beth
I had such an amazing experience at Beth & Keith house. Their kitties are so friendly and playful, very well behaved and chummy. Already miss them and their morning zoomies. They always accompanied me everywhere I go ☺️The house cannot be described by just words, it’s full spectrum of emotions. Sleek design, panoramic views, spacious interior, and magical neighborhood🥰 The area where the house located is full of spectacular views and have bunch of hiking trails just 3 min away from the house. Beth is such a great host and made taking care of Gri and Cisco smooth and easy ☺️Thanks again for this opportunity! Would love to be back 🐈🐈‍⬛

This was a great sit.  Charlie and Keezle are fun and friendly puppy dogs, and the apartment is in a convenient location. Julia and David made great hosts, making sure that I received a tour of the property before they left and were very responsive to my questions when they were out of town.

Kerri
I had a wonderful time hiking with Roxy, she’s the best companion you could ask for. Roxy loves being outside, going on hikes, bikes, or just being in the car. She’s had no issues keeping up with me, honestly I had to keep up with Roxy’s running pace :) She’s very easy to work with, loves being by your side and is great off leash. 

Zeus and Emily were wonderful little coworkers to have at home, they loved asking for cuddles and Emily’s mission in life is to persuade you to give her more food. You definitely just fed her, but she will try her best to convince you otherwise. Kerri was a gracious host she makes you feel at home and I had a great time hiking with Keri and Roxy on my last day! Looking forward to next time!

Donna
Donna is an amazing host and Luna is one very special girl who immediately stole my heart! I arrived the day before Donna had to leave for her trip, and not only did she welcome me with open arms into her home, but she also made me a wonderful dinner and introduced me to the neighbors. She also knew about some upcoming travels I have planned and left me maps for those locations (she's traveled quite a bit!) to look through during my stay. Overall, such a warm, welcoming experience. 

As for Luna, or who I nicknamed Ms. Wiggles (she wiggles her butt like crazy when she's happy/gets excited), she is the SWEETEST lab around. She's great on and off a leash, listens to commands with no problems and is one big snuggle bug. I ended up taking her up to Cannon Beach one day to let her run around and she did great off leash! No issues with recall and stayed close the whole time. She really is a perfect angel and I miss her already!
