Jack has been an absolute dream as a (repeat) housesitter, this time taking care of our home for about ten days. From the moment we left, we knew everything was in the best possible hands. Jack was incredibly attentive to all the needs of our home, plants, and animals, and his dedication showed in every detail. One of the standout things this time around was how well he took care of our garden. We had recently planted a few new things, including a pumpkin patch, and Jack watered everything with such care. It’s clear he has a green thumb, as everything was thriving when we got back. Jack kept the garden in great shape—especially our nascent pumpkin patch. It's not easy keeping up with new plantings, but Jack did an incredible job. He was also flexible when our travel plans were disrupted. When our flights got delayed and rescheduled, Jack didn’t hesitate to adjust to our return schedule. He graciously extended his stay, ensuring that everything at home continued running smoothly until we got back. His flexibility was such a relief during a stressful time, and we’re so grateful for that. On top of all that, the house was immaculate when we returned. Jack left everything in perfect condition, even better than we left it! He went above and beyond, leaving us a thoughtful gift of pumpkin spice coffee, which was such a warm welcome home. Our chickens grew a lot under his care, and both Ollie, our dog, and Belle, our cat, absolutely adore him. They were happy and content when we got home, which speaks volumes about the love and attention Jack gives them. It's clear that Ollie and Belle feel safe and comfortable with him. Jack's regular check-ins were great, giving us peace of mind, but he’s also incredibly self-sufficient, which meant we could truly relax while we were away. We honestly couldn’t ask for a better housesitter, and we feel so lucky to have Jack looking after everything when we're away. We’ll absolutely be having him back and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and thoughtful housesitter.

Eric is a wonderful sitter! I knew he would be great after I saw all of his 5 star reviews. When I first talked to him, Eric was very amiable, and asked all the right questions, which showed me that he had read through the listing and paid particular attention to the types of pets that we had and their particular quarks. Eric took the time to meet with me as needed before he came to the place. He was always happy to meet me at the times/days I requested. We had to catch a ferry and it was prebooked, Eric was very flexible and allowed for plenty of time to arrive at our home for us at arrive back so we did not have to worry about the dogs being alone. During his stay, Eric made sure that the dogs were walked and properly attended to. One of our dogs requires daily medication and Eric did a great job with that. One of our boys was a bit whiny during the stay and we had a chat about it, Eric solved the problem during his stay. One the day we came home, Eric offered to launder the sheet and towels which was a such a relief to me a I had so much to do when I got home. One of the best things that Eric did was take our dogs for one last walk right before we came home so that we did not have to attend to them after our long journey. When we got home, our house was clean, our dogs were happy and tired and we were extremely pleased. Be sure to book Eric if he enquires about your listing!

Abigail is a lovely person and so polite. She was so kind to our Mitsy and Mitsy loved her cuddles with Abigail. Abigail sent us daily text messages that put our minds at ease as we really missed our girl. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in asking Abigail back to our home

If I could rate Kim higher than 5, I would. From the very start Kim was like a kindred spirit. Her passion for cats and their well being was evident from the moment we first spoke. Our boys, Cheeto and Binx warmed up to her very quickly and by the time we left the house, I was beyond comfortable leaving them in her care. Kim sent us videos every day and I was stunned that at one point she had both cats sitting on her knee. I can tell you, that never happens as Binx isn't one to sit on anyone's knee. Kim was so prepared that when Binx (or as we affectionately call him, Houdini) escaped and managed to scratch his ear in his efforts, Kim had her first aid kit out and fixed him up so well he wasn't even bothered by it. Kim played and cared for them so well, that when she was packing to leave, she sent us a photo of the two boys sitting in her half packed suitcase wanting to go with her! I'm going to have to step up my game! Seriously though, Kim was exceptional and I can't recommend her enough. When we got home our house was immaculate and the boys were healthy and content. Kim even made sure we had milk in the fridge so we could have coffee in the morning. Kim's personality is vivacious and caring and I hope she'll consider sitting for us again. We've not only been blessed with a great pet-sitter but also a new friend.

We had the pleasure of hosting Jolana recently and she went above and beyond to make sure our dog Sawyer was taken care of. A cancelled flight resulted in us returning home a full day later than expected, and Jolana graciously accommodated the change and made sure everything was taken care of until we got home. We really appreciate her flexibility and would be happy to have her back anytime!

We enjoyed our three-week sit at Kirsten and Jason's wonderful home. Escaping Texas summer heat, it felt like an oasis for us to be in such a beautiful setting in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. They welcomed us the day before their departure so that we could see the routines and get to know their pets a little before they left. All the instructions were detailed, clear and easy to follow. It was easy to communicate with them during their vacation and they also introduced us to local family and neighbors in case we needed anything locally.

Gordie, the golden retriever, was incredibly friendly and excited to meet us as soon as we arrived. He's a sweet loving, affectionate dog with a lot of youthful energy. We got into a daily routine that entailed either playing fetch in the expansive backyard in the morning and evening, or a taking long walk and then letting him swim in the river in a nearby park, or visiting an off-leash dog park about 10 miles away where he could play with other dogs. We frequently doubled up activities because he really seemed to love it and it also helped burn off some energy. When he was outside on his own, we would check up on him very often to ensure he hadn't wandered off or wasn't digging holes in the beautiful yard and gardens. He loves gathering sticks and amassed quite a collection. In the house, we'd also check in with him frequently when he wasn't lounging to ensure he wasn't chewing on things. At night, he slept very soundly in the bedroom with us and was often still sleepy even after we got up. 

Walter and Terrance, the two orange tabbies, were incredibly sweet and playful. Walter was very social and would come to us for petting and snuggling, whereas Terrence took a little more coaxing as he seemed a bit skittish. But once he did, you could tell that Terrence loved to be pet just as much as Walter did. Walter was often on the lookout to make an escape but he only got outside once. He went straight to a plant in the front garden and started chewing on it, so it was easy to catch him. Walter and Terrence were active and playful with each other and Gordie would occasionally get in on the fun in a very gentle way. It was fun to watch the three of them playing and hanging out together. During the day, the cats especially loved to sit atop their cat tree in the attached garage watching all the activity in the nearby bird nest. At night, they would sleep in the large laundry room where they had everything they needed (which meant we got a good night's sleep!). We got them a little bird toy that they loved playing with at night. We just had to be sure to put it away in the morning so Gordie wouldn't get it. 

Kirsten's gardens are absolutely beautiful! It easy to see how much love and dedication she has put into them as there were flowers blooming everywhere. She simplified the watering for us by setting up hoses with drip irrigation and sprinklers for the front and side gardens. She made a map of the zones and it was easy to follow the watering schedule each day by turning on the right hoses, setting a timer and then turning them off when time was up. Occasionally, some of the tips would pop off the drip irrigation but it was easy to find them and put them back on. The back patio had beautiful plants in containers which were easy to hand water by filling up the watering can from the pond that was right there. We had a few hot days and we supplemented the drip irrigation with some hand watering as needed to get through the hot spell. We thoroughly enjoyed the scenery of the gorgeous garden and plants and appreciated all the work that must have gone into planting, growing, and maintaining it all. It truly felt like we were at a resort: the setting was especially magical in the evening with the patio string lights lit and the babbling waterfall cascading from one pond down to another.

The three weeks we spent with Gordie, Walter and Terrence in Kirsten's and Jason's beautiful home were a wonderful experience. We would definitely recommend to others and if it's a longer sit, probably best for two people to do together.
