From our first video call we felt Lucy would be easy to communicate with, flexible, able to take our situation/requirements on board without issue, and someone we could trust. These initial feelings were reinforced once we met and during her sit. We agreed she should come a couple of days before we departed so we could show her round the neighbourhood and explain the details of the house and pets. We left confident that our house and pets would be well looked after, and this definitely proved the case. Unfortunately Lucy developed a cold on arrival and was certainly under the weather initially though she did not let this interfere. Lucy did a great job of looking after Jake and our new cat Simba, demonstrating a great love and care for them, soon winning the affection and confidence of both. Simba,being in part feral, has always been vary wary of any strangers and immediately disappears as soon as anyone calls round, but even before we left Lucy had gained his trust. We also lent Lucy our L200 truck, having put her on the insurance, and this was also well looked after. Lucy did encounter some issues with the internet and other minor problems, but via phone calls Lucy was able to explain the problem and I to provide a solution which Lucy had the technical ability to understand and thus resolve the issues. She kept in regular contact with frequent photos/videos of what the pets were up to and did a good job of looking after the house, even sweeping up the copious amounts of leaves that had fallen. It was a pleasure to have her stay, we wish her all the best in her future travels, and hope she will come and sit again sometime in the future. We have no hesitation in recommending her.

Darcie emulates all the qualities that one hopes to have in a pet and house sitter.  She is friendly and communicates well, before, during and after the sit.  Her initial questions were relevant and centered on the care of my fur-babies.  I have a rescue from S. Korea that behaves differently from most dogs.  She has lots of fears that make it hard for her when I'm not home.  Darcie had read my welcome guide, so was informed, but also has good instincts.  I watched her stand still and let this dog go up to her, the opposite of what most people do.  I started to tell her that my cat, Yetti, holds true to his name and becomes illusive around strangers, just as he walked right up to her.  During the sit, she sent pictures and let me know how the animals were adjusting.  Pretty darn well, as it turns out, which made me feel better about not being there.   I had just been gone for over 3 weeks and was feeling pretty guilty about leaving them again after only being home for two jet-lagged days. With Darcie there, I was able to enjoy my mom's 80th birthday and sibling reunion.  She communicated about her departure and let me know what I needed to know about the animals and house.  I returned to a tidy house and felt confident that my animals were well taken care of.

Leandra was awesome from the communication in the beginning, to her warm and caring attitude towards my dog.  She was very organized, responsible and took great care of my pet and my apartment.  She may have even taken better care of my Kali than I do.  I would highly recommend Leandra to anyone who is looking for pet sitter that has a great heart and truly cares about your pets and your home.

I recently had Summer stay at my apartment for 8 days to care for my dog, Finney, and I am thoroughly impressed. She left the apartment spotless and took exceptional care of Finney. 

The daily updates and photos Summer sent showed that Finney was relaxed, happy and fond of Summer, which was incredibly reassuring. Her communication was excellent, keeping me informed throughout my time away. She also handled all situations with great flexibility and adaptability— above and beyond. 

I highly recommend Summer for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I would definitely love to have her look after Finney again in the future.

Tanya and Michael have a lovely home in an excellent location in Bend! Their dogs, Schubert and Batey, are super sweet, fun and affectionate. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with them had a difficult time saying goodbye after spending a fun week together! 

Their home is walkable to great restaurants, coffee, shopping and a weekend farmers' market. It's a quick drive or bike ride to the charming downtown with more great restaurants, coffee, shopping, breweries, live music and endless things to do! Their house backs up to open space with trails, so you can just walk out the back door with the dogs and let them run off leash!

Michael and Tanya's home is new, clean, lovely and well-equipped with everything you could need. They were great with communication ahead of time, the welcome guide and  preparing their space! We felt very much at home and would welcome the opportunity to return anytime!
