Absolutely 💯, and even this doesn’t adequately describe!!!! She and her daughter, Anna, sat for us during a cold week in January., From the first communication it was obvious Heather was a caring, competent, experienced, sitter, but it was over time we discovered the gem she truly is! We always leave the house clean, and we returned to a spotless house - even the inside door mats were vacuumed which is something we do but don’t ask or expect it of our sitters; the trash/recycling cans had been left by the curb for tomorrow’s pickup even though we’d be returning in time to do so; and a lovely bouquet of big sunflowers and small purple coneflowers were beautifully arranged in a pitcher on the counter! It was a super exceptional, awesome welcome home! From the first texts when they were on their way from Portland and then their arrival with a picture of Luna already snuggled onto Anna’s shoulder, to the nightly check-ins (with pics of Luna helping them play board games, snuggled on their laps or in their arms, on the rug by the fire with Anna snoozing beside her, playing ball abs her in paper bag), it was obvious they all were enjoying the time together! There are many examples of what impressed/blew us away (such as our joint fireplace remote trouble-shooting and happy resolution over the phone; their flexibility to allow a quick window replacement and more so watching the installation to make sure the workers were professional while in the house; and her concern and efforts to remove onion odor from the lid of a small storage container), suffice it to say that had there been any kind of serious emergency, we are absolutely confident it would have been competently and calmly handled! Obviously, we would have Heather (and Anna) back in a heartbeat, and seriously hope their schedules and our trips align again … and again!!!

Wow - where even to begin?!  Ken and Jane were an absolute dream to have in our home.  They obviously have a lot of experience with animals and were incredibly conscientious, thorough, and caring.  Even before arriving for the sit, Ken and Jane made sure they had all the information they needed, even asking about things I hadn't yet thought of!  :)  

They were great about being in touch while we were gone - sending sweet photos of being out and about with Daisy and giving fun reports of what they were doing.

Daisy was clearly very well cared-for and we came home to find our house cleaner even than we left it.  Ken and Jane are simply very good people we would be honored to call friends.  We could not recommend them more highly.  AND we would be thrilled to have them come and stay with Daisy again - anytime!

Jenn’s home is lovely and clean with a big comfortable bed, comfy couch, nice patio, fully stocked kitchen with a variety of spices and modern appliances.  She printed out a very thorough welcome guide that was super helpful for watering the plants, taking out the trash, etc. She was quick to respond to any questions I had. Their home is in a great location very close to Trader Joe’s and target, and the beach. The fish and Iris were very easy to care for. Unfortunately, I did not get to interact much with Iris because she was unhappy without her family around. She stayed in her room mostly and I just tried to keep the house quiet and calm.

We had the most amazing time at Peter & Nadya’s house! So much so, we stayed on the island longer than we were supposed to  and house sat again!
Peter & Nadya gave us all the info we needed regarding the house and pets before they left for their trip & we were always in contact via WhatsApp. They were super accommodating and helped us in any way they could. 
Their 3 dogs became our best friends! They loveeee kisses, cuddles and any outdoor activity (so bring your energy!) 
We can’t wait to come back again!! 

Lots of love 
Jodie & Theo

Jessica
I cannot say enough good things about Jessica and my sit.  Jessica was great with communication from day 1.  We were both very flexible with arrival and departure days/times, which worked out well for both of us.  Jessica was very inviting and made me feel welcome in her home.  She went above and beyond to make my stay pleasant.  Her home is in a quiet, safe neighborhood, is clean, and has everything you could need.  

As for her babies, Eva and Wall-E are amazing.  They are not your typical evasive cats, they follow you everywhere, bring you toys to play with, and like to help with whatever you are doing.  While their “assistance” may mean a task takes a bit longer, you will smile the whole time doing it.  They are absolute lovers and spent their time lying in my lap, helping me make the bed, assisting me with my work, etc.  Do yourself a favor and sit for these lovebugs if the opportunity arises.  😊

Rustie is the best boy ever 😭
I’m actually going to miss him so much!
He’s so easygoing and loves pets, cuddling next to you on the sofa and playing with his occasional zoomies!

Kevan was amazing, he’s very kind, his communication was great and his clear love for Rustie shines through.
He has amazing taste in films and music so his house is a real gem where you can find interesting things everywhere.
Although it’s next to the highway I didn’t find any problem at all with the noise either, and I do believe it’s more comfortable to have a car to move around easily in case you’re needing to go to other parts of the city

Annie
Annie and her housemates were just brilliant! As for trusty Rusty, I can not say enough wonderful things about him. He is one of the best-trained dogs I've ever sat for. He would wait for me during our walks out if he got too far, and would always come back if he heard his name called. He knows commands and is so great to snuggle with. He is quite precious and unique. There was a great community vibe and her housemates were quick to answer any questions I had. Her place was tidy and well-kept. The long walks were relaxing and just what I needed. I had no troubles and am excited to housesit for Annie again!

Pabu is such a cutie, I was happy that he let me pet him, I love hugging him! The air dusters are there to prevent him knocking things off surfaces! :) I hope he will be well enough and doesn’t have to take medications soon! 
His home is beautiful and in a good vibes location with lots of local cafes, stores and restaurants.  
Thanks Leah for all your kindness! I’d gladly housesit here again ❤️
