Our house sit needs were specific: treat our house like a home, tend a large yard including raspberry and blueberry gardens that needed to be harvested, and care for two beloved cats and an exuberant lovable large breed dog, all with varying needs of attention, specific schedules of diet, medicine and supplements. Betsy and Bill fulfilled those needs in every way.
 
Our 12 year old Staffordshire Terrier can be a high energy dog. Betsy and Bill’s calm, easy going nature is exactly what our dog needed. We also needed people to set very clear boundaries with her and Betsy and Bill were a wonderful match in that regard. Before we left, we contacted our vet to let them know we would be travelling and added Betsy and Bill’s contact information in the event of an emergency. It was good we did, because our dog developed an abscess on her cheek that required several trips to the vet and constant attention, including her having to wear the dreaded cone while the wound healed. This meant we were in constant contact with Betsy for updates and ideas about her treatment and care. It is our practice to not leave our dog at home alone while wearing the cone. Betsy was very quick to reassure us that there would always be one of them at home with our dog while the other person went out on hikes (alternating) to explore our beautiful trails. You can’t get any better than that!
 
Our two cats are very different; one is a 13 year old quiet fluffball who wants attention and love but is slow to come around to it. The other is a mischievous 3 year old that likes to push boundaries. 

Our fluffball wanted to isolate after we left so we brainstormed ideas with Betsy as to how to coax her out and they worked like a charm. The cat ended up on the bed asking for head scratches and rubs. We also asked them to feed her as much as possible with the goal of gaining a bit of weight as she is living with kidney disease. They did just that and a few days after we got home she weighed in almost a pound heavier! Our 3 year old, our COVID kitty, who has been wary of visitors to our home, ended up sleeping with Betsy and Bill! We also left them with explicit instructions not to leave anything out that this kitty could get into, including (but not limited to) elastic bands, food on the counter, exposed hot elements on the stove, etc. and they were happy to follow these instructions to keep her safe. Both cats were brushed daily and looked like they’d been to the salon when we got home.
 
For the 4 weeks we were away, it rarely rained, in fact, temperatures were so high Betsy and Bill needed to be constantly watering our gardens to make sure our plants thrived. It was a lot of work! They also cut and edged the lawn while hired gardeners took care of weeding and upkeep. Finally, Betsy was great at sending pictures and keeping us informed regularly of how each animal was doing with their new caretakers.
 
With all of the instructions and feedback and ideas we presented to Betsy and Bill from afar, we never once felt we were asking too much from them. Betsy and Bill were so easy to work with; it made our trip so much more enjoyable. They loved and cared for our animals in the best ways possible. Thank you Betsy and Bill!

Victoria was an excellent guest and Rissa loved having her around. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and I would be happy to invite her back again.

If you are fortunate enough to have Angela available to sit for you do not hesitate to snap her up! We have a schnauzer that requires a lot of extra care. Angela was up for the task and then some. Our home was very well cared for and left immaculate upon our return. Angela is a sweetheart and I can’t wait to have her back again if we are so lucky!  Thank you again Angela so much for being here!

The home was comfortable and Claudia was very welcoming and communicative even providing some groceries. Inca was a very personable cat.
