Communication with Mary and Joel was easy from the start. Their reasons for wanting to house/pet sit were clear and appealing. As a retired professional couple they do this out of desire to travel well and get some puppy love since their last fur baby passed. We had a facetime call with them and knew they were the perfect fit for us for many reasons - one of which was they had several repeat sits. When they got to our house the first thing Joel did was sit on the floor to meet the pups!! This was very endearing! They arrived the night before we left to meet the dogs and get the lay of the land. Over dinner we learned that we had crossed paths professionally with each of them over the years. They asked great questions about the dogs care and we loved hearing about their upcoming travel plans. Mary wanted to know how we preferred they communicated with us while we were away so a clear expectation was set before we left. We got updates on the dogs walks and wellbeing each day each with Mary telling us how sweet the dogs were every time. We came home to a clean home, sheets and towels washed, trash taken out, etc. Mary left a note letting us know the last time they were fed and walked before they left. She also sent a photo of Parker lying in her packed suitcase...hmmmm..did she want to go home with Mary and Joel?? Obviously a sign she was a happy doggie! We recommend Mary & Joel to everyone!!

This is my second time looking after Maddie and she has very much stolen our hearts.  She is an older dog and knows what she likes so it's important to go with the flow and stick to her routine or she will let you know about it :) The house is perfectly set up for relaxing and unwinding, we were quite happy to stay put and just hang out in the garden with her. Maddie's love language is affection, she absolutely loves to be around you day and night but is equally very chilled. Not a big walker, she really just wants to sit by you and have a nap or a cuddle. We very much look forward to our stays and would easily recommend it.

Margeau
Cashew, Ivy, and Mitch are so much fun to sit for.  They each have so much personality and will show you affection differently.  Margeau's place is super clean and she leaves very detailed instructions on how to utilize and care for every aspect of the home.  Margeau is very responsive and it is clear apparent that she loves her Little Ones dearly. Also, Let us just say that Margeau's place is absolutely beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice. It felt so warm and inviting, especially the gift basket of pampering goodies that she left for us. You will enjoy this sit greatly!

Phœnix is a super lovely can who really loves playing and he has many toys so that was very funny.
And the Jennifer’s appartment is super confortable, with everything you need and super close to downtown and the lake !
Thank you very much Jennifer ! It was such a pleasure to take care about you cat in these conditions

Taking care of Lenu and Oreja was really good. 
They are friendly dogs with a lot of energy.  Juliana and Juan left us well informed about how to care for dogs when walking and taking care of the house.  
The location is very good and the house is also super clean and cozy, we felt at home.  You can always count on us to take care of Lenu and Oreja 😊

Highly recommend this sit. Koa and Fynn they lovely cats and easy to care for. Koa can be a bit shy but once he warms up he'll be around all the time asking for cuddles.  Janice place is in a quiet neighborhood with tons of good restaurants and is easy to get to downtown. Janice is very welcoming and understanding, we have a lovely dinner with her sister Sara who help me to get to the airport, and also had a nice talk about her trips to Mx where I'm from. Thank you Janice!

This was our first house sit - and we couldn't have had a better experience. Steve & Barb prepared us perfectly and in detail for our time at their beautiful place and with their lovely dog Harley. But in the first place they gave us a chance for this: As we were new to trustedhousesitters, we didn't have a reference yet but still they entrusted us with their house and their dog. And oh, did we enjoy the ten days! 

Harley made it so easy for us: He is a very sweet dog, relaxed and perfectly well behaved. We walked him twice a day in the beautiful neighbourhood and got to chat to many of the neighbours as Harley just knows everybody and everybody knows and likes Harley! In-between the walks Harley liked to relax and sleep - giving us plenty time to enjoy the amenities of Steve's & Barb's beautiful home. The house overlooks a lovely valley and is filled with light that comes in through large panoramic windows. We enjoyed spending time on the deck and in the back yard and in the evenings on the couch or in the jacuzzi. The house is furnished with so much love for detail! We instantly felt at home.

Also we appreciated very much that Steve & Barb invited us over the night before they left for their trip: This way we had a chance to learn all about Harleys routines and make ourselves familiar with his favourite walks. Also the two had prepared a comprehensive Welcome Guide that gave us all the information we could possibly need for our stay. 

Dear Steve & Barb & Harley, thank you so much for your trust and for this wonderful and special experience. We'd do it again in heartbeat!
