Tatiana and Eric were absolutely fantastic, we truly could not have asked for any better people to care for our fur bbs while we were away. We wish that we could give them more than a 5-star review and if you are lucky enough to have them apply for your pet/house sit do not hesitate in engaging them. You will not be disappointed. We wholeheartedly recommend them. From the very beginning when we started communicating with Tati and Eric, they made us feel so comfortable, their well thought out questions put as at ease and it quickly became clear that they really care about and love animals. At our request, they arrived a few days early to get to know Keena, Ben and Rustle which we so appreciate and made the transition so much easier (on us). Ben loved them immediately and continues to head towards their room to sleep at night haha. Keena and Rustle are both a little slower to warm up but the fact that they did and so quickly was amazing, especially Rustle. Rustle really doesn’t warm up to many people and seeing videos of him getting love and attention made us feel so happy. We usually come back to a stressed cat so the fact that he didn’t even seem all that excited to see us speaks volumes about the care and attention he (they) received. While here they went above and beyond to care for our bbs and home, as well, their level of communication was just perfect which made us feel even more confident. Plus, if they noticed anything was off they would reach out right away to make sure that it was normal behavior. The whole housesit was seamless, they are clearly experienced sitters and loved our bbs like they were their own. Not to mention that our house was spotless upon our return!! You want Tati and Eric to be your sitters, trust us!! Eric and Tatiana are also just lovely people, we really enjoyed spending time with them before and after the sit and would welcome them back anytime. We wish them all the best in their travels and would love to think our paths will cross again in the future. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you both so much!

Shawn and Jennifer were the perfect pet sitters! We could not have wished for better people to look after Salt and Pepa! Not only were they meticulous in keeping up the cat`s routines, nurturing S&P`s idiosyncracies, and keeping them clean, fed, and happy in general, but they went above and beyond finding out what else they could want or need in a truly empathetic way. Shawn and Jen taught them new tricks, played with them often, stayed in with them most of the time and observed them and their characters so well, that it seemed after only a few days like they have known - and loved! - the cats for some time. Before we knew these sympathetic brilliant sitters with heart, brains, and instinct we were nervous about leaving our not even 2 year old cats with strangers for more than a month, especially since Salt can be a fragile soul who is very shy and needs a lot of time to bond with people if she does it at all. Not with these two people. They know how to handle cats professionally. Instead of overwhelming them, Shawn is present and offers them attention and playtime. We were able to fully enjoy our time away from home since they were communicating extremely well and in the frequency we agreed on. So we got pictures or videos of S&P every day and reports. The reports as well as the pics showed us that S&P had an extremely good time, and that after only a few days they behaved completely "normal", i.e. we recognized "our" cats from the way that Jen described them and photographed them. Shawn and Jen are both extremely reliable, down-to-earth and self-sufficient. IF there would have been an emergency, we could not have asked for better guardians. The welfare of the cats was always their first concern. What more can we say but that they are also very friendly, humorous, calm and intelligent human beings. When we came home S&P were like: "Oh.. you..? Ok.. But were are the other two?" In our living room was a carefully arranged series of printed out photographs by Jen the excellent photographer. We are so very thankful to Shawn and Jen that they agreed to look after our kitties - and our home, which they also did without fail - and we are truly happy to have made their acquaintance. Hopefully, we will meet again!

Julia and Jeremy were excellent sitters and caretakers of our home.  Zi was well taken care of and had fun and my garden looks excellent.  I can’t say enough about their care.  Jeremy even helped our neighbor with a car issue.  Totally enjoyed the pictures and the way they kept in contact with us while we were away.

Can't say enough favorable things about Chris and his family.  From the get go, they were all over our girl and took her with them everywhere over their 4-day sit.  Tourism in Boston - no problem, she went with them.  A jaunt to the Maine coast - piece of cake with our dog in tow.  We came home to a happy dog, dinner and a tidy house.  They were a pleasure and we would use them again without hesitation.

Tracy was great at taking care of our kitty and our home. She sent frequent texts with photo updates, kept the plants healthy and left the house super clean. Highly recommend!

This was such an amazing house sit! 

We got to know Ross & Emma before the sit and had a great time with them, they even took us on one of Atlas' walks so that we could get familiar with Pacific Spirit and his habits etc. They made us feel extremely comfortable with taking on the sit and thoroughly welcome in their home! They are so kind and were always really easy to contact.

Onto Atlas... what a dream dog!! Atlas is the perfect mix of sweet, gentle with playful and fun. Looking after him and being around him is so rewarding. His behaviour is very good when off leash on long walks - his recall is reliable and there's nothing better than seeing his smiling face bounding towards you! I also got to swim with him in the sea which was an awesome experience. We really miss him and would take him on again in a heartbeat!

The flat itself is cosy and very well decorated and equipped - it felt like a real home away from home. The location in Kits is outstanding - very close to the beach and sea, which we loved. There's easy access to shops and restaurants and Atlas is always happy to join on little trips like that. 

We could not recommend this sit more! Ross, Emma and Atlas are really awesome.
