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!

If we could give 50 stars for John and Faith, we would.   We came home to a happy dog and spotless house while we were gone, they gave daily updates with hilarious videos of Mac talking to us and them playing frisbee which he loves.

Nancy & Tony were excellent sitters! They were easy to coordinate with, friendly, and my dogs loved them. When I came home the house was clean and tidy and the dogs were relaxed and happy. It's like I was gone for a few hours instead of a week.

Linda is detail oriented and did a great job. She took great care of my pets and my house. The house was left much cleaner than I left it. She made it a point to be punctual and to know what was to be expected of her.

Odie was the best companion you can ask for in the vast, rolling woodland setting of Stouffville. He is a most gentle giant and a happy, easy to-care-for dog. He has been well trained by the entire family and walks happily off-leash while keeping an eye on you. He listens to commands and walks, runs and plays well outdoors and indoors. 
Since we love being outdoors a lot, walking Odie through the neighbouring wooded trails and the numerous York Regional Forest trails was the best thing I could ask for. Anita and Gerry are most gracious hosts, who are very kind and caring. The home is super comfortable and offers ample space to work from home, workout (and do yoga - I always bring my own yoga mat, but they have one too!) My room was very cozy and quiet, which I appreciate and also had an ensuite washroom. I had no troubles connecting with Anita and Gerry while they were away and really enjoyed sending them updates with photos, on my fun adventures with Odie. 
If you are considering a quiet getaway to work from home, in a lovely area of Ontario, close to Toronto, with a most lovable and sweet canine best friend, I say you must apply to sit here. 
I highly recommend staying here with Odie and would happily sit here again. 
Thank you so much Gerry and Anita for sharing your sweet pooch with me.
