We absolutely could not recommend Allan and Renate more highly. Right from the start their communication was always great and we were able to arrange a meet and greet before the sit to introduce ourselves and our pets. It was obvious immediately how experienced they both were and how much they loved animals. We went away so happy with the knowledge that our pets were receiving all the love and attention that they usually get from us. In fact when we arrived home Allan and Renate had also groomed them, quite a task considering their type of coat! Everything in the garden had been cared for perfectly and the house was immaculate. We would be delighted for them to sit for us every time we go away and would recommend them without hesitation to all of our friends and family, they were that wonderful. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of our pets and our home. We look forward to hopefully having you back again soon.
Absolutely 💯, and even this doesn’t adequately describe!!!! She and her daughter, Anna, sat for us during a cold week in January., From the first communication it was obvious Heather was a caring, competent, experienced, sitter, but it was over time we discovered the gem she truly is! We always leave the house clean, and we returned to a spotless house - even the inside door mats were vacuumed which is something we do but don’t ask or expect it of our sitters; the trash/recycling cans had been left by the curb for tomorrow’s pickup even though we’d be returning in time to do so; and a lovely bouquet of big sunflowers and small purple coneflowers were beautifully arranged in a pitcher on the counter! It was a super exceptional, awesome welcome home! From the first texts when they were on their way from Portland and then their arrival with a picture of Luna already snuggled onto Anna’s shoulder, to the nightly check-ins (with pics of Luna helping them play board games, snuggled on their laps or in their arms, on the rug by the fire with Anna snoozing beside her, playing ball abs her in paper bag), it was obvious they all were enjoying the time together! There are many examples of what impressed/blew us away (such as our joint fireplace remote trouble-shooting and happy resolution over the phone; their flexibility to allow a quick window replacement and more so watching the installation to make sure the workers were professional while in the house; and her concern and efforts to remove onion odor from the lid of a small storage container), suffice it to say that had there been any kind of serious emergency, we are absolutely confident it would have been competently and calmly handled! Obviously, we would have Heather (and Anna) back in a heartbeat, and seriously hope their schedules and our trips align again … and again!!!
