Shawn and Jennifer were the perfect pet sitters! We could not have wished for better people to look after Salt and Pepa! Not only were they meticulous in keeping up the cat`s routines, nurturing S&P`s idiosyncracies, and keeping them clean, fed, and happy in general, but they went above and beyond finding out what else they could want or need in a truly empathetic way. Shawn and Jen taught them new tricks, played with them often, stayed in with them most of the time and observed them and their characters so well, that it seemed after only a few days like they have known - and loved! - the cats for some time. Before we knew these sympathetic brilliant sitters with heart, brains, and instinct we were nervous about leaving our not even 2 year old cats with strangers for more than a month, especially since Salt can be a fragile soul who is very shy and needs a lot of time to bond with people if she does it at all. Not with these two people. They know how to handle cats professionally. Instead of overwhelming them, Shawn is present and offers them attention and playtime. We were able to fully enjoy our time away from home since they were communicating extremely well and in the frequency we agreed on. So we got pictures or videos of S&P every day and reports. The reports as well as the pics showed us that S&P had an extremely good time, and that after only a few days they behaved completely "normal", i.e. we recognized "our" cats from the way that Jen described them and photographed them. Shawn and Jen are both extremely reliable, down-to-earth and self-sufficient. IF there would have been an emergency, we could not have asked for better guardians. The welfare of the cats was always their first concern. What more can we say but that they are also very friendly, humorous, calm and intelligent human beings. When we came home S&P were like: "Oh.. you..? Ok.. But were are the other two?" In our living room was a carefully arranged series of printed out photographs by Jen the excellent photographer. We are so very thankful to Shawn and Jen that they agreed to look after our kitties - and our home, which they also did without fail - and we are truly happy to have made their acquaintance. Hopefully, we will meet again!

From the moment Jeanne and Jim walked in our door to meet us and our three dogs and cat, we knew they would be wonderful pet sitters. Our pets - even the cat! - immediately took to them. You can always trust your pet's assessment!

Jeanne and Jim took great care of our babies: frequent walks and lots of cuddles. The pictures and texts they sent us reassured us that our clan was very, very happy. They also took an interest in our feathered friends outside, and I was happy to tell them where to find our binoculars and the sunflower seeds for the bird feeder. They sent me an outstanding photo of a flicker drinking out of a hummingbird feeder right outside one of our kitchen windows. I love it and forwarded it to my bird-loving friends!

We came home to a spotless home and content pets. Emma, Izzi, Jaden, and Nico had obviously been well taken care of. Every room of our home and our patio were neat and clean. They even left a bouquet of flowers on our kitchen island!

We would love to have Jeanne and Jim stay here again.

We had a great time at Joanne’s and Toby’s house!
They both are very easygoing, generous and kind.
They picked us up in the neartown village and also return us there after 2 weeks. And in between, we were aloud to use their car!
The pets, where adorable and well behaved.
Diego, a good and calm fellow  and Syd a funny energetic one.
Tiggy liked to sit on our lap in the evening.
We allready miss them.
Thanks a lot Joanne and Toby!
