What a wonderful housesit! Perfect setting and beautiful companions in the form of chilled and full of character Izzy and Jessie... Izzy is a very affectionate dog... we had her on our laps most times... The softest fur... Very warm and loving. Jessie is adorable and very communicative... She speaks to us... We howl together in the morning as a pack... It's a beautiful moment... She is just so beautiful... They are both a pleasure to walk, in a beautiful varied surroundings. Christine and Keith went above and beyond with their hosting... They were very welcoming, friendly, very clear with their communication. They provided us a unique, characterful and comfortable home... We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we highly recommend this housesit.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Ann & Steve’s beautiful home! The house is lovely, well organized and so comfortable. We especially enjoyed the large family room/ kitchen area where we spent most of our time; bright sunny views out to the garden and hot tub. When we arrived we joined them for a pizza as they were packing up for an early departure and instantly felt comfortable around the whole family. Taking care of Rajah was a delight, such a sweet and gentle dog, easy to be with and loved walking everywhere with us. There are several wonderful dog walking areas down by the bay as well as walking around their Berkeley neighborhood. Lovely older homes with with lots of different routes to take, no shortage of cafes, shops and restaurants, all within a short walk. Ann was great at keeping in touch before we arrived and we had all the information we needed to care for their home. Our week went by too quickly, that’s for sure. We highly recommend this sit; you‘ll enjoy a clean and beautiful home and the company of one of the best dogs around!
Loved spending time with Daisy in such a comfortable community and home. Ciel’s gracious welcome and directions made me feel at ease and well prepared for the two weeks she was gone. An awesome location and hospitable neighborhood. Thank you Ciel! 🐶
Elspeth was great at communicating from the beginning to end. We were informed of all the information needed to make our stay very enjoyable. It was a pleasure to look after Sid the dog and Oscar the cat and we very much look forward to a return sit if needed. Would highly recommend this sit. A beautiful house and wonderful location. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to stay. 😊
I had a very nice time at Vicki n Kevin's ....the cat! I was a little cautious about the neighborhood....but it turned out fine! In fact it was very convenient to get just about any where. The house well it was incredible for me. Every detail in Vicki's house you could tell was so thought out! She plays several different instruments and loves to study primates. She has had several trips to Africa. I also loved the backyard which has so many places to enjoy. A firepit, places in the shade or the sun! And Kevin n I bonded! I love that guy and his cute little kisses. Recommended a place to housesit. Thank you Vicki n Kevin!
Kayla and David's sit was lovely. They were very communicative and hospitable, and the boys were a treat. Manny and Gatsby are cuddly characters, and Henry is such a delightful good boy. Thanks to Kayla and David for a great sit!
