Eileen is an excellent communicator, completely reliable, and was attentive to my cats special needs. We returned home to happy cats and an immaculate house! I can’t recommend her highly enough!
Paul and his wife were very kind to us, they offered to pick us up from the train station nearest their house and were both very good hosts. At all times they answered our questions and were very clear with the specifications of the house and the dogs! Bella and Duke are very affectionate and obedient dogs, Bella is a very calm and sweet dog. On the other hand, Duke has a lot of energy which makes it a bit difficult to take him for a walk, but they are still lovely dogs😊.
I had a great time house sitting for Bob and Gisela in Washington State’s Capitol — Olympia! Their home was very lovely and filled with many unique items brought over from Germany. Gisela was also kind enough to cook a German meal upon my arrival and we had a great conversation during the evening. Roscoe, Bella and Missy were great hosts while Bob and Gisela were out of town. Each of their pets were easy to get along with and each had a very good personality. What was really special about this particular house sit was the location of the home. It was just a short walk to a private beach; a beach that was empty almost all of the time and provided a great view of Mount Rainier on a sunny day. If you love solitude in nature, I highly recommend this house sit. One item that future house sitters should be aware of is that there are however a few cameras on the property. During my stay there was a Ring camera on the front door, an indoor camera in the living room covering about 90% of the room and an additional camera in the master bedroom. (Cameras were made known to me upon my arrival.) It was also necessary to have the TV in the master bedroom on at all times for Roscoe, Bella and Missy during my stay which is audible in the guest room during the day and night. I would advise prospective house sitters to discuss the use of the TV and cameras when applying to house sit in order to ensure the most positive stay possible.
Joanne and Gary made every effort to make our stay wonderful. They cooked us dinner the night before the sit and took the time to get to know us. At the end of the sit, they took us out to dinner. We truly feel like we left the sit with new friends! We absolutely loved the time we spent with Ms. Kitty. She is super sweet and loved going back and forth on our laps, choosing the best spot. Joanne and Gary were very organized and made taking care of Ms. Kitty clear and straightforward. They also allowed us to stay a few extra days so we had a place between sits. We feel so lucky they selected us to care for Ms. Kitty and experience their beautiful homes!
Rob and his wife were incredibly kind and communicative, and I was so glad they trusted me to watch Gracie and Maybe - two of the sweetest dogs I’ve had the opportunity to watch. Rob gave me all the information I needed to look after the dogs and operate everything in the house, as well as several recommendations for exploring Venice beach. I had a great time and highly recommend this sit!
