We met Lisa and Stephen for the first time the day before our outbound flight, and we immediately liked them. More importantly, our dog Mollie LOVED them. There was an immediate connection as Mollie greeted Lisa and Stephen. I could tell they knew dogs, and knew how to handle and communicate with them. Right off the bat we felt confident Mollie was in good hands. That day and evening we spent time with them answering good questions and watching the bonding between our dog and these new faces. Lisa and Stephen were dog owners, and they have logged in thousands of hours dog-sitting for their family and neighbors. It was clear they were highly conscientious; we could tell that just from the questions they asked. Communication was superb. We got several cute photos every day along with a brief report on how things were going at home. This really put us nervous parents at ease. They knew to call us with any questions or concerns, but that was never necessary due to their “pet competence.” The icing on the cake was when we returned home. The house was neat and immaculate, and Mollie was happy and playing with them both. A fresh tablecloth and flowers were on our kitchen table. How nice to come home to that. We hope we can have these folks back again. Our experience was excellent, and we recommend them to anyone looking for responsible sitters.

Taking care of Alvin was an absolute joy! He's a sweet boy who loves everybody and is a good listener. 

Jenna's home is very comfortable. It's located close to well stocked grocery stores & restaurants/coffee shops in a nice/safe neighourhood. 
Bonus is the dog park within a few hundred yards/meters is superbly maintained and visited by the local dog owners whom are very friendly, just like the dogs. 

Jenna is a very gracious host. Her welcome guide is informative and complete. 

We truly had a wonderful time being with Alvin. If you have a chance to do this sit, you hit the jackpot! Highly recommended.

What fantastic company Max and Bruno are! They’re such good friends and run around as if it’s all been choreographed. Their ‘sock fights’ in the evening are hysterical.
Daina and Matt were so welcoming and they and their girls showed us all the ropes. Chickens funny with their antics and prolific with their egg laying.
Thank you all for such a great stay 🌸

I almost didn't want to give a review on this sit because I didn't (don't) want people to know how awesome Samson is. He is so chill and has a lovely personality; he also loves his walks! Jen is amazing and her place is super comfy & in a great location!
