I highly recommend Deborah and Tom for your house sitting and - more importantly! - animal sitting. We were fortunate enough to have them look after our 1912 house, our elderly cat and our active young dog for six weeks this spring. We couldn't be happier with their care of our home and for our animals. (And we are very particular about care for our animals.) > Their stay was complicated by the fact that the week before we left, Joe, our 16-year-old cat, was unwell. He was on the mend by our day of departure, but we left knowing that if his condition returned, we might have to make decisions from abroad about his care. Deborah and Tom knew about his condition. We felt comfortable knowing that if difficult decisions had to be made, they were just the people we would want with Joe. Fortunately, in their care, Joe thrived, and we came home six weeks later to a cat you'd never have known had been sick. He's also a very shy cat, but grew comfortable within days with Deb and Tom, even allowing Deb to pick him up (the only person other than me and the vet who has been able to do so!) > Our dog Poppy is a three-year-old rescue from Mexico with a lot of energy who is also sometimes reactive to other female dogs. Deb and Tom met with us in advance so they could learn how we deal with that (positive reinforcement when she doesn't react) and all went well. Poppy is so in love with them that she literally bowled them over with her enthusiasm when she got to see them again after their house stay. You can always trust your dog's reaction to people. > We have a character house with a large garden. Deb and Tom cared for both beautifully. > They are also very easy to deal with and are excellent communicators, keeping us posted on things as needed. They are dependable, responsible people who will love and care for your pets and your home. > They're so great that we've already booked them again for the fall!

Coral and Ken were great sitters for Poppy, with incredible attention to detail.  We received lots of updates and photos of Poppy.  They even went to the trouble to take Poppy to a self wash doggie bath facility and sent photos of what a sparking clean puppy actually looks like!  I would be happy to have them again and would not hesitate to suggest them to others.

Katlyn was great! So professional and easy to communicate with. We appreciated her keeping our two cats company and our home tidy.

Mark and Natalie were wonderful sitters! They were thoughtful and responsive, tidy and super friendly. Mark made amazing cookies for me and Natalie painted a small picture of Slater! They sent photos and were so gracious when a couple strange things happened at the house. I so appreciate their attention to detail and welcome them back any time! Highly recommend!
