Peter and his wife were great. They showed up when they were supposed to and took great care of our pups. They took them to the beach with there dog and got the sheets started in the washer before they left.

Terra is the best cat we’ve ever met! She was playful, cuddly, and so well-behaved. We are definitely part of her little fan club!

Pam is a fantastic host. She was very friendly and welcoming. All instructions were clear, and she was very responsive. It felt more like meeting a friend. She also helped us out a lot and was extremely supportive. We really appreciate that!

The house is even more inviting and modern than we expected from the pictures. The location is perfect for trips into downtown Philadelphia, and there are also many great shops around the neighborhood.

Lyla must be the sweetest, gentlest and most relaxed dog I have ever looked after - she is a joy to spend time with, affectionate and calm, clever and cuddly. She wants to make friends with everyone and I don't think there is a dog or person she would not get along with - on our walks she was friendly towards everyone, whether she knew them already or not and she has a very good recall. She loves her treats and will tell you whether she wants more cuddles, to go outside or a treat :-) 
Jessie and Bob are extremely welcoming, kind and generous. They made me feel welcome and at home from the get go and provided me with easy to follow instructions how to look after Lyla and their house and were quick to reply if I had any questions. Their cosy house is in a peaceful location and has beautiful and extensive views for miles and miles - you can watch the clouds pass over Tinto from the kitchen window. A huge garden surrounds the house where you can enjoy even more views towards stunning sunsets and in the night you get to see a beautiful night sky. Carnwath is a few minutes of a drive away and has a great little bakery, a Coop and a post office.
There are great walks in the area - whether it's a hill walk you're after, a leisurely stroll on a calm road with views or a refreshing wood walk. I have not managed to go up Tinto when I was there but I do hope to be back to spend more time with sweet Lyla, explore the area a bit more and talk a bit more to Jessie and Bob who have lived abroad for a long time and have very interesting stories to tell about their fascinating life.
All in all, a housesit I can wholeheartedly and highly recommend and one that I am hoping to be able to do again!

We spent the night at Liz and Alfredo’s beautiful home the night before they left and they welcomed us like family. Their house and pet instructions were well laid out and very realistic.  We also enjoyed time with them the morning after their return. Their 2 pets were delightful. Russo, the cockapoo, was a snuggle bug and a beach walker with a passion for playing fetch. Sophia, the cat spent most of her time in the owners bedroom but welcomed us with love and purrs anytime of day. The house, the neighborhood, the people and location were all excellent. Anybody who is fortunate enough to sit for them will leave feeling as if they’d known them for years.

Juliann and Barry are a genuinely  caring and conscientious  couple. Great attention to detail was given to instruction regarding the pets needs, phone numbers etc and communication while they were away was excellent.
Their home is in a very good location , especially for people new to the area, for taking in historic Manotick  and the Ottawa and area attractions.
Ben and Skotti are adorable and very attentive. They love to be loved and just want to make you happy. Ziggy and Jona are definetly more independent.

We had a wonderful experience sitting for Kate. Kate, was very clear and informative leading up to the sit. Her pup Coco is so sweet, cute and well behaved. They live in an area with many trails and close to stores and restaurants. The area is absolutely gorgeous and the home was cozy! We definitely recommend this sit, thank you Kate!

We had a wonderful time in Vicky and Thomas home. Communication was perfect throughout. The evening before, Vicky explained everything to us personally and wrote a memory so that we could look it up again, should we have any questions. The dogs Murphy and Hudson are super sweet. We had so much fun walking and playing together😍. We can wholeheartedly recommend being house sitters for Vicky and Thomas. You will be welcomed with joy and warmth and have a wonderful time! ☺️
