Jamie, Eve and their three daughters were the perfect house and pet sitters. Friendly, great communication - I feel incredibly lucky and priveleged to have met them. I have 2 dogs, a cat, 7 chickens, a large garden with many plants and a fish pond. When I came home, the house and garden looked incredible. Everything was super clean, the garden (which takes about an hour a day to water) was thriving in spite of some hot days while I was gone. I admit I'm a little paranoid about leaving Daisy with strangers. Although pretty active, she's 15 and has had spinal surgery. For Ursula, Polly and Amelie it was mutual love of the dogs - they had truly bonded. Both dogs are used to sleeping in the bed with me, but everyone made sure they were comfortable overnight and they happily slept in the bed with one of the girls. When I got home, I think the dogs were a little disappointed to see me! My ony concern is that they've set the bar so high. It will be difficult to find a family who will look after everything so well. I know this is their second trip to Canada. I hope that should they decide to come back, they will get in touch with me. I will arrange to go away just to have them come back to look after things here. I've had housesitters from at least 30 times over the past 12 years. Jamie, Eve and family are the best sitters I've ever had. I would for sure recommend them to anyone with pets of any kind and I'm happy for Jamie and Evie to give future potential sits my contact information if they have any questions.

Kathy
Pepper is such a sweet dog to take care of. He is really easy and loves to snuggle. Kathy is also a fun host. I would recommend their place if you are looking to stay a little outside of the city.

Judith
We loved Bean and Louie! Judith and Shawn’s delightful home and pups were a fantastic sit in the heart of Portland. Both dogs are low maintenance and tons of fun to be around! The neighborhood is hard to beat for dog walking…definitely a top contender amongst our travels.

Every type of grocery store option is just a short drive away and there are plenty of bars, and restaurants within walking distance. Such a great cool, spacious, and comfortable home. 

We loved admiring all of the century old homes in their historic neighborhood and would jump at any opportunity to come back. We highly recommend!

Julie
We had a wonderful stay at Julie’s. We met Julie when we arrived, and she showed us all around their well-equipped home. It was a very comfortable and spacious stay! Jet and Selina are great kitties, easygoing and independent, but loved getting pets (especially Selina!) Communication with Julie was easy and straightforward, and she left a very detailed packet of information with everything we needed in the house, for the pets, as well as nearby activities and sights. We would love to stay with Jet and Selina again!

Lora
Lora feels like a friend I have known for years. We instantly clicked. She is very gracious and kind. She offered clear instructions that were simple. Her home is very comfortable and in a quiet and safe community. Lora offered for me to stay the few days between sits. She even got to extend her time with her family.
Clarence is adorable. He also gives clear instructions. He knows exactly what he wants and will let you know. It was nice having him with me as I drove to Mt. Lemmon. He loves car rides!
I know I'll be back to this one!

What a wonderful opportunity to spend time with Heimo and the crew in a gorgeous, clean house on and acreage south of Charlottesville! Bruce and Tamara are gracious and generous, and they communicate excellently and clearly. They fed us upon our arrival and carefully showed us and explained everything we needed to know to care for their home and pets. Heimo (the border collie) is a sweet, easy dog who loves to please and will quickly make a place in your heart. Caring for the chickens and fish is simple and takes very little time each day. The two bunnies (who are not always present at this siting opportunity) are content and adorable. Their feeding and care takes a bit more time, but is very manageable. The yard is filled with well-designed flower beds and landscaping. The swimming pool is clean and refreshing. We enjoyed cooking in the well-appointed kitchen and relaxing in the tastefully-decorated house. Sitters would definitely need a vehicle to get to and from this home, as it is several miles to the nearest store. Internet access was good, while cell phone coverage is spotty in this area. If you enjoy playing shuffleboard, horseshoes, or bocce, you are all set here! We also spent a decent amount of time walking in Walnut Creek Park, just a couple of miles down the road, which has a disc golf course, lake swimming, bike trails, and plenty of forest hiking. We recommend this housesit extremely highly!

Anna
LOOOVED this sit! Pizza is the sweetest girl. She is very mellow and keeps to herself. She's an older gal so she sleeps a lot. She likes being around you but doesn't seem to like to be handled. I was the one who probably needed the TLC from her..LOL. Although she is currently taking medication twice a day and 2 shots of insulin, they are very easy to administer. She gives you no resistance whatsoever. She is a very gentle cat.

Nick and Anna are great parents and are taking great care of her. They both greeted me, explained the medication regimen and gave me a walkthrough of the apartment. They are very easy to communicate with and always responded whenever I had questions. 

The apartment is huge, spread over two floors, and is very clean. Lots of space if you need to spread out. Everything you need in the kitchen to cook, good pots and pans and they also had amazing spices. If you are working, this place couldn't be more comfortable. They have a dedicated office upstairs and another workstation downstairs. There is also a great deck area. The location is top notch and in a wonderful neighborhood, walkable with tons of restaurants, bars and cafes. 

I strongly recommend this sit to anyone. Pizza definitely stole my heart. She is so gentle that you just want to do the best for her. I would be very happy to take care of her anytime. They are a nice family and I would love to come back again!
