Alisha and her daughter Kati were so amazing! They planned the sit as a mother/daughter writers retreat (I'm truly excited to read Kati's book!) They were able to come by the house before I left on my trip so I was able to give them the full tour - I really love when sitters make the time to do that. Oh! And get this! Alisha read my entire Welcome Guide before arriving which honestly blew my mind. During the tour, she asked about specific things that I mentioned in the Guide and we were able to cover her questions straight away. Alisha & Kati also showed up with all their food & supplies so they wouldn't have to leave to get them after arriving - that's so smart! Alisha says she does this so the animals are less stressed out. She really is a true professional. I ended up hanging out with them a little longer than planned because they were so awesome. When I finally did grab my bags to head out I noticed that Kati was sitting on the floor playing with my dog and cat - loved that! During the sit, Alisha gave me updates here and there - but I wasn't bombarded by them. They also were able to coordinate with us to plan the best departure time so the animals wouldn't be alone too long before Kenny and I got home. When we arrived home the animals were exceptionally calm and I swear the house was cleaner than we left it. All in all, they were the best and we would definitely have them back in heartbeat.

Cari
This sit was most wonderful in every way.  Cari and Mike are kind and loving people who welcomed me the night prior, sharing dinner and acquainting me with their home and pets. 

Their home is very beautiful, affording eye-popping mountain views. I enjoyed the small non touristy town of Ridgway, but best of was the loving companionship of Kaylee, Ajax and Luna. Kaylee is sweet, gentle, loving and a dream to take on a walk or to the “dog park.”  Ajax is a real character and had me wrapped around his little paw - he is sooooo cute and enjoys playing between his naps. Luna is independent and occasional

We had an amazing time looking after Cat and Rob’s house as well as their adorable pets Sophie and Ivy. Sophie is an amazing dog with a lovely temperament. We loved taking her for walks around the area. Ivy is so loveable and friendly. We will miss them both.
Cat and Rob made us feel very welcome on arrival, and gave us good instructions on how to take care of their home and pets. We would definitely house sit for them again.

Susan
One energetic puppy (Sylvie), two playful cats (Milo & Phoebe), and 8 chill hens made for a most entertaining housesit. The days flew by  as we enjoyed our time interacting with this fun brood. Lots of laughs when Sylvie & the cats decide it’s time to play together!

Susan & Christopher invited us to care for Sylvie, Phoebe, Milo & the hens when their scheduled housesitter had to cancel last minute. We were glad we were able to step in as Susan & Christopher are a wonderful, gracious couple. Their welcome packet was very thorough. Their house is comfy, the solarium offers great views of the woods & wildlife. The location affords multiple options for walking Sylvie in both the neighborhood and nearby parks. Susan & Christopher kindly introduced us to friends who were available to help out in a pinch. They made us feel at home and were easy to reach during our stay.

As we are local to Ann Arbor, we are familiar with all it has to offer. We highly recommend the downtown for its restaurants, shops, performing arts, and of course, the University of Michigan sports!

Stuart & Theresa
The owners 
Stuart and Theresa are very friendly and welcoming people. We liked to be invited to dinner the day prior their departure so we get to meet in person. They have travelled a lot and it was great to hear from their experience. They made sure we understood how everything in the house works and that we had everything we needed. During our stay Theresa was always available by WhatsApp. When they returned they took the time to chat with us before saying goodbye. Overall, good and lovely people that we highly recommend.

😺 The cats - 2 Beautiful Maine Coons ❤️
Hard to describe how lovely they both are ! They are very friendly, easy going, clean and well-behaved cats. They have very different personalities :
1.Mona is the boss, she will have the first fresh bowl of food, the first water, the first play with toy, and Renoir respects his elder very much. She is a good girl, always around, love the attention, love cuddles, if you pet her on the head she will love you. 
2. Renoir was more shy at first he preferred sleeping upstairs all day and only coming for food. But eventually he started spending more time with us, in the end he was downstairs a lot and asked for cuddles especially during the evening. He loves to eat, and will ask often during the day, so he requires a sitter that plans on not leaving home too long.

The house
It is a quiet neighbourhood by the beach with good walking, biking, running track. Parking in front is free and unlimited. The house is confortable, decorated with taste, and very very clean and organised which made us feel at home. The house is 2 floors + 3rd floor terrace. Our room was on the ground floor but there are others upstairs. There is a pool, patio with bbq and furniture, and a home cinema, so everything one person needs on a Sunday. Also, an important thing for European sitters like us : there is a real coffee machine, no more instant powder coffee, here you get to enjoy good coffee!

Many thanks for choosing us to look after your house and Hector. We had a great time, really enjoyed the experience. Your house is beautiful and the location is stunning. Hector was adorable and no problem. He and our little Buster got along just fine. Many thanks for your kind hospitality. We would definitely sit for you again in the future. All the very best - Paul and Mandy. X

Debra
Absolutely loooooooved my time here with dear sweet Jiji! 🖤😻🖤 She is a gentle darling meow who now holds a huge place in my heart! 
She is a beautiful, curious and loving cat…it took a little while for her to warm up, but once she did, we were best buddies. She seems not to be a snuggler or a lap cat, but perhaps sometime in the future. 
She loves playing in her bag and in boxes and is excited for meal times and treats and loved chasing the jingle ball when thrown down the hall or on the other side of the room etc. She has favorite spots she likes to nap and she is beautifully photogenic and likes posing for pictures! 
Debra and Peter and Mia are incredibly kindhearted, generous and absolutely lovely humans! Their warmth touched my heart from our first video call…to our in-person meet and greet…to being welcomed into their beautiful, peaceful and cozy home and throughout my entire kitty cat care stay! 
Communication with them before and during my stay was always clear and kind. 
I also loved the neighborhood…it’s cute and walkable both to fun shops for window-shopping and a naturey path around the reservoir nearby. The trees there are gorgeous! 
I will absolutely a zillion percent come back to care for darling Jiji! Thank you so very much Debra, Peter, Mia and Jiji! You’re all fabulous!
