Jirina and Vladmir took care of our high-maintenance, American Staffordshire mix, Tova, for over 3 weeks and did an amazing job! Throughout the time we were gone, they would send pictures and videos and let us know everything was going well. There were no incidents with other dogs or animals, our apartment was clean and well-taken care of, and created a real bond with our dog. When they left, she stared out the window for well over 30 minutes, waiting for them to come back. If we ever leave for such a long period in the future, we will definitely invite them to house sit for us again!
Larissa and Martin cared for our two cats and our one year old pup for two weeks over Christmas. We met over video chat and instantly knew this sweet couple was the right fit for us. They arrived the day before we left, which allowed us to get to know each other and to show them our routine with the pets. While we were away, they sent us updates and pictures from time to time, which we really appreciated. One of our cats needed ear drops due to an infection and Larissa and Martin had no issues taking this on. Furthermore, while we were away, Enzo injured one of his claws and needed some tending. Larissa and Martin informed us of his injury as soon as it happened and we were able to get in touch with the vet who told us what to do and how to monitor him. Larissa and Martin updated us frequently about Enzo’s paw and it eventually it healed up without needing vet intervention. They took care of the situation and even though we were far away, we weren’t worried as we knew he was in good hands. It is obvious the animals were very well care for. Enzo got lots of attention and affection, which was our main priority. He misses them dearly! Safe travels Larissa and Martin; we can’t wait to follow you on your adventures across Canada! Thank you for everything!
