Candace
Candace and Bela's home is a comfortable and inviting place to stay. The house is located  in a 55+ adult community on the outskirts of Ferndale, just a few minutes from the I-5, and approximately 15 minutes to the US-Canada border. The kitchen has everything you need for food preparation, including an awesome induction stove top that is efficient and very easy to keep clean. Candace cleared lots of space for me in the fridge for my provisions and also ensured the blender was available to make my customary green smoothie breakfasts. Their home is clean and uncluttered and I felt welcomed from the start. When there was a plumbing problem Bela (Zoey's dad) was easy to reach on vacation and had a plumber arrive first thing in the morning

Of course the star of the household is Zoey, a loving and playful long haired Dachshund. She was a lot of fun to look after and has a very sweet personality. She will probably follow you from room to room to see what you're up to, and always wanted to be near me. When I sat down she would want to be on my lap, or hilariously, she would climb onto my shoulders and curl around the back of my neck, like a cruelty free fur scarf.  😃

The dog toileting arrangements are very convenient;  there is a turf pad in the back of the house where she does her business, making clean up very easy. There's not really a backyard for her to run free, so understandably she needs and looks forward to her twice daily walks. She won't let you forget either, rain or shine. 😂

Zoey is  generally well behaved on the leash and pulls just a bit against her harness when you first leave the house. She's a small dog so it doesn't cause any issues but I would make a few gentle corrections by pulling back on the leash and in short order she settled into her walks very nicely. You'll want to give her lots of time to sniff and explore along the way.

Zoey is content to walk the circle in Candace and Bela's community, there is very little traffic and many of the neighbors knew her and stopped to greet her. However to add a little variety to your romps there is a large field next to the community and a nearby dog park called VanderYacht. We drove to VanderYacht twice and she seemed happy to explore a new place. A gravel pathway winds around the park and after four or five  laps Zoey was ready to head home. While there are other dogs running free there Zoey needs to stay on leash for her safety and security. Bela and Candace warned me she bolts if she gets loose, so you have to be diligent about keeping all gates closed and locked. 

When other dogs at VanderYacht came up to sniff and say hi she was mostly indifferent to them, I think she's definitely a people dog. Everyone who sees her especially kids will be charmed and want to pet her, she's just that cute. 

All in all this was a very enjoyable house-sitting/pet sitting experience. Candace and Bela are friendly and very accommodating, and Zoey was a pleasure to look after. If there was another opportunity to take care of Zoey I would not hesitate to apply. Jeffery

Kate
Before we arrived, we met Kate and Dave via a Skype chat and they were very warm and friendly. We knew they would be great people to house sit for, and they were just as excited to talk about all the things we could do (and eat) in their city as they were about their own trip. When we arrived, Kate showed us around their gorgeous condo (with views from all sides) and gave us a welcome booklet filled with contact and vet info, the best restaurants and spas, and places to explore. And then Dave took us on a wonderful foodie tour of the neighbourhood. (This man really knows his chicken rice, and we ate at his favourite stall nearly every day!). The market downstairs is also fabulous, changing from morning to evening so you never get bored of the food. We didn’t cook a single meal when we were in Kate and Dave’s home. What a treat! Now on to little Miss Persia. We fell in love with that little kitty who loves to snuggle and was no trouble at all. She even uses the toilet, so there is not litter box to clean. She’s such a clever little cat! She was a pleasure to spend time with. She really took over our hearts and we miss her to this day. We would welcome the opportunity to live with her again and to spend more time with Kate, Dave and their boys.

Excellent sit. It’s a beautiful home, the kitties are sweet and easy to care for. The home is located in a nice area and easy to navigate via public transit. I would be delighted to sit here again and would recommend to anyone considering.
