Ronda
Ronda and Jim are very nice and communicative. This was a very easy and straightforward sit and Ronda was always available if I had any questions. Bell is super sweet and I loved spending time with her!

Charlene
Charlene was wonderful to communicate with from the beginning. I met with her and got the run down beforehand and stayed in their home the night before they left. The Chihuahuas are absolutely the sweetest mother and son duo. I loved caring for them and staying at her beautiful home and gorgeous pool, too!

Slice of heaven!  CoCo and Buckley were delightful companions.  They looked forward to their morning walks and loved snuggling in the evenings and being tucked into bed.  Location is convenient to everything and Amy and Dan’s house is extraordinary!  View from their rooftop deck just can’t be beat!!

We had a great time pet sitting Lambeaux, Cowboy and Mia.  The cats stayed upstairs and enjoyed getting one on one attention when they got use to us.  Lambeaux enjoyed playing with his toys especially at night.  He doesn't like going outside too much but did enjoy his nightly walks.  Jane and her husband were very nice and took time to get to know us.  Their home is very comfortable and close to restaurants.  Their home is also close to the Cincinnati zoo so if you get a chance to pet sit for them jump on it.  If we are back in the area we would love to pet sit again for them. Bonus they have a full massage chair that we definitely used while we were there.  🐾😊

This was a great sit! Megan, Will and Bucks home is lovely. Buck was very friendly and engaged with us right away. Their home is in a great location with lots to do and plenty of shops nearby. Sloan Lake park is right up the street.

My eighteen year old daughter and I house sat together as a team, this actually worked really well, as there were two of us she loves animals just  as much as I do and they really love her! We enjoyed meeting Sebastian and Olive very much, they were as good as gold. They both welcomed us when we arrived, Sebastian connected with us straight away and gave us hugs! he is the most loving and affectionate dog ever, a real empath and a real character. Olive is really sweet and inquisitive and social, they both get on really well and are great friends. Sebastian is very well behaved when out on a walk and was no trouble at all. My daughter and I house sat together and we both loved the house sit. The home is lovely and clean and fresh and functional, lovely kitchen and homely vibe. Harriett was 100 percent communicative, gave great instructions and information, she is  a really sweet person. We really enjoyed exploring Shorham, it’s a charming village with a hip vibe. We had great fun and loved staying with Sebastian and Olive. Highly recommended this house sit.
