It was a pleasure house sitting for Karen. She was a wonderful host, very communicative and accommodating! All the horses were lovely, great personalities. The same could be said for all the kitties :). The location is beautiful, right on the water and only a short distance to grocery store etc. I look forward to coming back in the future!
Thank you so much Lucy for being so kind, welcoming, and caring when I came to housesit for you! I appreciated all of the warmth you showed me and letting me stay a few days more as I was in-between sits. Cammie was awfully cute; I learned a lot from looking after this little puppy and enjoyed walking up on the hill overlooking Wellow and this quaint village. Again thanks so much and all the best to you guys & Cammie!
Good sit! I loved little Maisey and Dino who were so sweet and good buddies and the alpacas were fun and adorable. Nancy and Stu’s home is right on a river and feels like a little sanctuary, I spent a lot of time in the screened in porch. Outdoorsy folks will find lots to do in the area with hiking, kayaking, swimming, biking and rafting nearby, even 2 Buddhist temples. This was my first TrustedHousesitter sit and Nancy was on top of communication and meeting on videocalls beforehand. Even though there are 8 animals I found it manageable, they left detailed instructions that weren’t a lot once you knew what to do, although heads up they ask you to not leave dogs more than 4 hours which was a tiny challenge with most things in the area being 20-30 min away. Also heads up the pups love to snuggle at nighttime! Nancy was great about checking in even from their trip in Europe. I’d return!
Ann was great to house/pet sit for. She’s easy going and great communication throughout her trip.
We really enjoyed looking after Winston! 😊 He's such a lovely, well-behaved and fun doggie. Helen and Nick are equally wonderful. They provided us with clear and detailed instructions on how to look after Winston and their beautiful and clean home located on a quiet street. They also added tips on where to go on walks with Winston and commutation with them was excellent throughout and prior to the sit. We can't recommend this housesit enough and we wouldn't hesitate to come back! 😊 🐶
This is a great housesit! Violet is a super sweet cat but it does take some time for her to get used to you. She felt completely comfortable with me by the end of the week. When she finally came out of her shell, she was all for the pats. Kristen provided detail instructions on everything and she was also a text message away. I loved the house as well. It is located in a nice, quiet, safe area in Sunnyvale. Loads of parks and walking paths in the area. You will love this housesit.
