Lakisha is such a wonderful house sitter and animal companion! One could literally not find a better personality to care for animals. Lakisha is a detail oriented, focused but flexible career woman, who is somehow also an outdoorsy, hiking, nature-loving vegan, completely in harmony with animals. She’s able to work from home, so she spent tons of time with my cat. I don’t have dogs right now, but if I did, she would have been cross-country skiing and snowshoeing and hiking with them every day. She literally offered to bring her own cleaning supplies and detergent, to make sure that they are vegan and cruelty free. She organized my kitchen and took adorable pictures of my cat, and sent me a little videos of him. She is the perfect housesitter. I was really wowed by Lakisha’s care, and am so grateful for everything she did…taking care of François, my beloved three legged kitty cat, for an entire month, when I was on the other side of the world. When I first interviewed with Lakisha, she had really great questions. For instance, she prompted, “Tell me about your daily routine with François.” Then she truly listened as I described a day with my cat. Which, for all you cat people out there, is really not a very exciting day. But she took notes. She then asked, “Does he have any special needs or medications?” At the time, he wasn’t on any medication, but right before I left, he did get a prescription… And Lakisha was completely willing to embark upon the difficult task of managing medication in a cat that she had just met. She was really fearless when it came to his health and needs. I was traveling to the other side of the world, in South Sudan, where I didn’t know if I would have Internet access and was working in a stressful situation. Lakisha would send me pictures of François, or a little videos of him playing with his mouse. It was such a relief to know that he was safe and OK with somebody. I remember the day when she wrote to me that they had really connected… And I knew that he actually had a friend who saw his special spark. Then… (!!!) I had to extend my stay…over Christmas, and she stayed extra just to take care of him, through the holidays. Absolutely amazing. When I came home, the house was perfectly clean, with a little gift on the counter. Lakisha had remembered that I made a joke about taking care of my basil plant (It was clearly an already dead plant)….so she bought me a brand new one and also a really pretty nice smelling candle. I am so lucky to have had her with my beloved cat, when I was so very far away, never having left him for so long. It is amazing how somebody can be a stranger one moment, and then they are a beloved cat-auntie the next… Somebody to really trust with your pet and your home. Thank you so much, Lakisha!

Jinnie did a fantastic job with Jonas, she was preparing for a venture that required acclimating to high altitude so Joans had lots of hikes which he loves.  The house looked great upon return and Jonas seemed happy and content which is always a relief!

I had a great time at Gyeongbaes. 
Namu is the most beautiful dog I have ever met. He is friendly, does his own thing and LOVES to play catch on the big upstairs balcony. 
I had an awesome time

Tracy and Karl have a lovely home in a very beautiful setting. They left clear instructions and a very clean home. Oscar is a great companion! He gets very excited for his meals and walks. He was very easy to take care of even with the insulin shots twice a day which he barely noticed. I would recommend this sit and I am glad I got to spend time in Grand Junction with Oscar.

Oakley & Respy were fabulous pups! So well behaved, fun, friendly and easy to care for.  We went on many walks, played a whole lot of fetch, tug of war, and snuggled on the couch.   We really enjoyed their company. The chickens were easy to care for and we got some fresh eggs.  We got to care for their baby chicks too which grew a lot in the short period we were there.  They were adorable.   
    Nick and Hilary were great hosts and were extremely accommodating.  Nick communicated effectively and was always quick to contact me with anything I needed. Nick gave us the heads up about their road being challenging and it most certainly was considering it just rained. Twas the season out there for extreme mud. You definitely need four wheel drive in the muddy months and winter. It unexpectedly snowed and my car didn't have snow tires and Nick helped by having his neighbor clear the driveway of the snow.   They even let us spend the night till it was cleared.   The sauna and hot tub were amazing and such a great feature for the sit.  The views of the mountains, sunrise and stars are breathtaking. 
 I highly recommend this for a beautiful quiet getaway with awesome company!
