Journey and Dave spent three weeks at our home taking care of our cats and we were so lucky to have them! From the very first interaction they were kind and considerate and put us totally at ease. They arrived the day before we left and we showed them around our house and holiday cottage and did a walkthrough of our routine. Journey took notes and was so attentive. They were accommodating and flexible with all of our requests. Throughout our trip Journey sent updates and lovely pictures and videos of the girls. We have two senior cats with some health issues and often their routine needs to be altered day to day depending on their behaviour. Journey was great at communicating any issues with me and incorporating my suggestions. Both my senior girls were happy and healthy when we returned. Journey and our kitten Smokey seemed to really bond. Journey spent time playing with Smokey to keep her entertained and drain her endless kitten energy. Our houses and garden were in perfect condition when we returned. Dave offered to help in the garden and we gave him free rein. No surprise that we came back to a garden that looked better than when we left! Dave made us an amazing beef stew for our return and it was so lovely not to have to cook dinner. From start to finish both Journey and Dave went above and beyond. There is a real sense of love and care to everything they do. I can’t express how fortunate we felt to be able to visit my family for three weeks knowing that our home and cats were in the best hands. I would absolutely recommend Journey and Dave and would love to have them back to sit for us again!

Rebecca
We had such a lovely, wholesome time staying here. Rebecca & Phillip were great hosts and they have a beautiful, spacious and well equipped home. They told us everything we needed to know about the house & the pets and made us feel really welcome! 
Ghillie & Sparkie are awesome dogs and such a loveable duo - they are really well behaved, loyal, full of character and easy to look after. We drove them to lots of places in the area and had such a lovely time exploring with them. It was so nice to open the kitchen each morning and see how excited they were to see us! Maple (Queen Maple as we called her) is a real sweetheart; loves a cuddle, super affectionate, yet loves to make her presence known and certainly tells Sparkie who is boss! They all get on very well! 
Finally, Fred & Wilma were real characters too - it was fun to watch them have a roam around their beautiful garden whilst we had a coffee on the patio!
We had such a lovely time here and would certainly come back! 
Thank you very much Rebecca & Phillip!

Cynthia
This is a great sit. Cynthia is a wonderful host and has a great apartment with a balcony up in the trees. She has a well equipped kitchen and a cleaning lady who keeps everything ship shape for you, very nice. Cynthia's  neighborhood, Condesa reminded me of Paris with its parks and boulevards and fountains and cafes and totally changed my idea of Mexico City. It is lovely.
Jack and Bruja are fun companions and a good excuse to get outside onto the boulevard several times a day for a nice walk. Jack is a pretty big fellow so you will need some strength at times to restrain his exuberance.
All in all, highly recommended!

Becky & Frankie
Becky+Frankie are the best hosts. 
They provide a very detailed guide that they print off for you, as well as hand written post-it notes around the apt to make sure you feel like you're at home. 
Their apartment is right next to the police department, as well as local restaurants, and other various attractions such as a dog park, gyms(Burlington Y), and numerous grocery stores (Market 32 + City Market) — I felt very safe and at home in the area!
Artemis is so mellow  such a cuddly dog; she has her own spot in the living room + she loves going for walks. 
Overall Becky+Frankie do a fantastic job of preparing you for what to expect.

We can certainly recommend this as a great house sit. We arrived in time to meet the busy homeowners, who had thoughtfully arranged for a house cleaning that day. We had a choice of clean, comfortable beds and a spotless bathroom for our stay, as well as a secure indoor lock up for our ebikes. Caring for their sweet cat was a treat. Beast is very expressive and really loves being brushed while he eats. Ball-driven WuTang stole our hearts with her joyous antics and gentle ways. We would return in a heartbeat to play and cuddle with that beautiful, happy dog.

Rawan
Rawan was super accommodating and helpful during this sit. Shadow is shy at first but really comes out of his shell once he gets used to you! It was great to spend time with him in their clean and well-located apartment.

Michelle and Daivd had me over prior to the pet sit to introduce me to Athena and Finn, walk me through the pups feeding routhine, and taking the pups for a walk. That was very nice.

The home is beautiful and the neighborhood is great with side walks through out. The best part is it sits on a golf course. Right outside the backdoor is easy access to walk on the maintenance path.

Athena was sweet and loving from day one. She is like a shadow! Finn could be coaxed to be my friend by giving him treats. 

I would love to sit for Athena and Finn again and if you get the chance you will have a wonderful time.
