Carla
Carla was a joy to meet at her beautiful, country home – with flower-filled front yard, spacious back-deck with view of squirrels & birds playing in the tall maple & evergreen trees bordering the golf course, and interior house gleaming bright from sunlight pouring through abundant windows & patio doors where the cats liked to snooze on the warm rugs.

Her boys – Dave & Sam – were an absolute delight to care for:  very affectionate, and very well behaved (no jumping on counters).  Although they were not lap cats, they liked to be brushed & petted; and Sam liked to chase the cat wands.  Once Dave adored you, he liked to snuggle against you on the couch, & softly rub your ankles when he wanted treats.  Both cats were loving to each other, and liked to lounge together at the window in the “library room” – which had a plentiful diversity of travel books & novels to read!

The house itself was well organized, and quite comfortable.  Our favorite place was dining outside on the back-deck beside the fragrant stargazer lilies which had just opened; and relaxing with the cats upstairs on their screened-in balcony (called a catio) – where the cats could safely enjoy the fresh air & outdoor sights.  One day when Sam was sitting atop his cat tower on the catio, a little hummingbird fluttered right in front of him, and both seemed to enjoy the face-to-face encounter!

Communication was excellent throughout the sit, & we frequently updated Carla, via emails, with cat photos, & of us with the cats; and Carla quickly answered any questions we had.  Before she left, Carla introduced us to her neighbors who made us feel most welcome; & we enjoyed evening walks through the lovely neighborhood (with wide roadways & little traffic), where we met even more folks.

Downtown shopping was less than a 15-minute drive, and there were fantastic, outdoor recreation opportunities really close – such as the “not-to-be-missed” Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge, and the Dungeness River Nature Center.  And we lucked out to be there in July for the spectacular Lavender Festival!

We highly recommend this sit in the exclusive SunLand subdivision – especially if you are a golfer!  But even if you are not, it is very pleasing to do!  Thanks, Carla & kitties!

Penny
The most wonderful house and pets sit. Penny and John were very helpful in settling us into their cosy, warm and relaxing home in a quiet neighbourhood. The area is super, near the river, local independent shops, lots of green spaces,  and a Saturday food market. Luna the puppy is an affectionate bundle of love and playfulness and we miss her already! The two cats Mittens and Moppets are interdependent characters who were friendly and just liked being stroked and played with now and then.
A highly recommended sit. Thank you Penny!

Dave
One of my favorite sits! Dave did an excellent job with the guide and I felt like I had all the info at hand. Lucie and I became great friends, and we had great fun! We hopped in the golf cart every morning and went down to the beach where we could walk and visit with her "pack" of friends. A highlight of the day. Their home is lovely and very relaxing and I loved every minute. Hope to come again!

Our sit with Poppy at Suzanne and Jeff's was incredible!! They not only wanted to make sure that Poppy was safe and happy but also that we felt comfortable and had everything we needed.

Poppy is the sweetest little kitty! She is so vocal and loves a good brushing. We really enjoyed our time with her.

Suzanne and Jeff are so welcoming and generous and we felt completely at ease in their apartment. The location is wonderful and you have everything you could possibly need nearby. 

We wouldn't hesitate to sit again with Poppy at Suzanne and Jeff's lovely apartment!

Amy
Luna and Louie were both a pleasure to look after! We found Luna to be very calm and peaceful, she likes to be close by when she can. This comes in handy if you want a companion to cuddle with on the sofa! Overall Luna is a gentle soul and we enjoyed looking after her. She has a special ball which she absolutely loves, so make sure you take that on walks with her. 

Louie very much wears his heart on his sleeve and lives life to the fullest. He has a lot of energy which is to be expected and we enjoyed walking him and luna 3 times a day, louie can be a bit hesitant of strangers touching him on the head in the beginning ,but once he got to know us he absolutely loved us stroking him, and we loved him and Luna too! To be fair we wouldn't like strangers touching us on the head within 5 minutes of meeting us too! 

Amy and Elliot were very easy to get along with, they showed us around the house and covered all aspects of the pets and the house, as a result we felt very confident when starting the sit. We also enjoyed chatting to them too! 

The house itself is lovely and cosy with local shops 5-10 minutes walk away. There is ample parking space too. The location was fantastic, we had an abundance of parks and fields to choose from, which we are sure Louie and luna love too!

Overall it was a joy to look after Louie and Luna, highly recommend this sit! If the dates work we hope to come back and look after the complementary double act, Luna and Louie!

Jennifer
I had an amazing time at Jennifer’s with Tenaya! Tenaya was low maintenance but sweet and offered great company. The apartment offered an incredible view of the city and is located within walking distance to the beach - you can even hear the sea lions barking in the morning! Staying here was a great opportunity to explore a historic part of the city and offered lots to do. Jennifer was a great host and I would definitely sit again!
