Jon and Freda are the most kind and caring people we have ever met. Our dogs Sandi and Lucy were treated more special than anyone could imagine. They became a part of their family with lots of attention and tender loving care. Both dogs were spoiled and enjoyed ventures to Tractor Supply, Petsmart and Home Depot and even rides around the local lakes. Lucy received a special new cuddly bed on one trip. Our pups were more than well cared for as was obvious by Jon and Freda’s attention to detail making them feel well loved. They very quickly learned their personalities and were great about communicating with questions or concerns to ensure that the best possible care was given. We received pictures, special moments and regular updates on our fur kids. We came home to a well-maintained house inside and out. We were and are so appreciative to have such a great couple (Jon and Freda) to stay in our house and to take care of our dogs, Sandi and Lucy. We came back to two very calm, relaxed and happy dogs. I know that they missed them when they left since they looked around to find them after they had left. There were also some beautiful flowers left for us when we returned home; so very thoughtful! It is very comforting to know that when you go away that you have such fantastic people watching your house and dogs. We would love to have them come sit at our house sometime in the future. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a perfect house/dog sitter……on a scale of 1 to 10….10 is not a high enough rating. A great big thanks to Jon and Freda for helping us with some flexibility as we were able to be there for our son's college graduation and do all of the necessary things to move him out of his apartment as well as visit some family and friends.

Brandi took great care of our house, 3 cats, and garden during the latter part of a week long sit. Despite not being able to greet her in person (since we split the sit into two segments), Brandi handled things like a pro. She FaceTimed us upon arrival to go over details, and found one of our cats, Lil, who was hiding after being spooked since the previous sitter left that morning. Brandi coaxed Lil out from under the bed and gave her a late breakfast, which made us feel at ease. She also sent a video of our elder cat Neil coughing, just to make sure it was normal, which we really appreciated. Brandi sent us regular photos and updates, and as she got more comfortable, let two of the cats outside to have some supervised play time in the nice weather. She was attentive, self-sufficient, asked great questions, and made sure the cats didn't eat each others' food! She seemed to grow more comfortable daily, even saying she loves our little prancess, Lil, who can be tricky sometimes! Additionally, she watered our young trees and some new transplants when requested, as we were concerned about the lack of rain during the week. We also appreciated Brandi's open communication, particularly when a concern came up for us, and we were able to work together to resolve it quickly. We came home to a clean and tidy house, happy cats, and a little homemade treat she left for us. We'd be happy to have her sit for us again. Thanks, Brandi!

Denae and Davon watched our two pups and our home for 11 days while we were out of town. They treated our home as their own and we returned to a tidy house and happy dogs!  Denae sent frequent text updates with photos/videos of the dogs and was always quick to reply to texts. 

Denae and Davon were also really flexible due to our late flight returning home; they stayed late in the evening/early morning to ensure we landed before heading back to their home. 

We would definitely recommend them for house/pet sitting and would gladly welcome them back again in the future - they are reliable, kind, and make a great team!

This was our first housesit that was 3 months our longest on trustedhousesitters yet felt short. Definitely nice having a regular routine. Thankfully we had the best cat to care for. We immediately connected with Toby, he cuddles and will sometimes lick you. He loves to get brushed. Even let us clip his nails. He loves going in and out of the house. He might be out all day and he will come inside to get a snack and then he will want to go back outside. He likes the option of being in or out. He likes to cuddle with you or on you. He is a heavy boy when walking on you. But when hes laying on you its just right. He wants to be around you but he doesnt trip you up winding around your legs. When hes not ready for you to stop petting on him, he reaches his paw out like "hello I'm still wanting attention". He has a best friend, ravolli, they are super cute together. We can honestly say that we love Toby and have enjoyed having him in our lives. He is our dream cat. The house was cozy with uniqueness in its design and rooms. Lots of plants. Sara and Roger were able to have their kids as back up contacts in case there were issues at the house. Both nice and respectful asking us when it was a good time to pick up mail and other things.  Talked to and spent some time with their son the most. Hes a really nice guy. The experience all around was wonderful. Highly recommend & we would happily housesit for them again.
