First I'd like to say thank you to Iris for coming through for us at the last minute. I don't usually write very long reviews, but she deserves the praise as it was thanks to her that we were able to enjoy our vacation which turned out to be fantastic. We had many ups and downs with finding a reliable sitter as we had a sick, elderly cat that needed extra loving care that discouraged some sitters that were initially interested in sitting for us. Iris was not fased one bit and didn't hesitate to accept the challenge. We immediately felt comfortable with her as she is open and communicative and very friendly. We especially appreciated how reliable and trustworthy she was as she quickly organized her trip and always replied to messages immediately. This, for us, was a major plus. She also arrived two days before we left, as requested, so we could get her acquainted with the animals and the duties, and she rented a car to have more freedom to get around town. She continued to send us daily updates, photos and videos during the entire sit, and treated her pet and home duties with utmost care and respect. Some of the challenges she faced: One of our cats was bitten by another one of our cats so she sent us regular updates to let us know how he was progressing, giving him antibiotics twice a day and showing him extra care by spending more time with him and making sure he had plenty of food to help him heal. She was even ready to take him to the vet if necessary. She also made sure our 20 year old cat, Jojo, received her daily medicine and patiently satisfied her food whims and caprices. Our youngest cat, Stellina, got stuck in a tree one day after being chased by the neighbor's dogs so after the neighbor contacted me, I contacted Iris and told her how to help Stellina get down from the tree and back home. She followed the directions and Stellina returned soon after. She also had to deal with a couple of stormy, rainy days which can unexpectedly alter the daily sit duties, but thankfully, there were more sunny days on the way. Iris' compassion and sensitivity are admirable and our cat Yogi healed by the time we got home. All the other cats warmed up to her immediately. She also took great care of our donkeys. Not much to be said about that as I do believe all went perfectly well. Iris was respectful of the house rules and we returned to a clean and tidy house. She adapted quickly and we became friendly instantly. We took her out for pizza before we left, and she prepared us a lovely, homemade treat when we returned. It was therefore, easy to let her stay a couple of extra nights with us after we returned from our trip. Iris is a stellar petsitter who will go the extra mile to make sure everything is done correctly. Having her sit for us was definitely worth all the ups and downs we went through to find her. I would definitely recommend her to other homeowners and of course, I'd love to have her sit for us again!

Helga K
I had the wonderful opportunity to house and pet sit for Helga over the Christmas period, taking care of the adorable Lab Percy in their beautiful home. It was such a joy to spend the holidays in such a cozy environment, and Percy made it even better with her playful and affectionate nature.

Helga and her family made sure I had everything I needed and provided clear instructions to ensure Percy's well-being. I genuinely enjoyed the experience, and seeing Percy happy and content was the best reward. 

I would gladly house and pet sit again for Helga anytime. Thank you for the fantastic opportunity!

I would highly recommend housesitting for Jon and Julia. Tyrion and Khaleesi are delightful, adorable and easy to care for. Tyrion is a happy, goofy, loving corgi who loves belly rubs and his plush toys. Khaleesi is a well behaved, cuddly Ridgeback. The house and property are beautiful, with plenty of room for the pups to run around. Jon and Julia were friendly, welcoming and communicative. All around a great experience!

Adelle is the best! I never met a cat like her, she has a great personality and made my stay very memorable. She loves "Cat TV" (birds and squirrels on youtube) and reminded me of that quite frequently...(I decided to watch real squirrels from the window and had a blast). I think Adelle  might not have been quite satisfied with the birds I picked (color? singing?) and sure wasn't too enthusiastic about me watching Germany play Japan during the World Cup. Otherwise we had a wonderful time together. Hanging out with her in front of the fireplace became our daily highlight. After a couple of days she came to my bedroom in the early morning and made herself comfortable on my blanket.

The house is very cozy (the bed was much more comfortable than my own) and I loved being at a place without a lot of "stuff".  I could even enjoy a cup of coffee in the sun on the front porch at the end of November.
Communication with Betty was very easy before and during the sit. She left great tips on the area: I went to the nearby library three times in 9 days! The bus stop is 5 minutes away, several buses take you directly to the  Mall and White House.

This was my first sit abroad and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend this sit and can't wait to be back.

What a lovely sit! Communication was great from the start and we had an easy handover thanks to Sandra sending an explanatory video in advance. 
Dillon is the sweetest dog, he may be twelve, but in his head he still thinks he's a youngster! He's great company in and out of the house, enjoying his walks, with lots of exploring and sniffing involved. He does suffer with arthritis, so can't go on long treks sadly, but he does love to go out and he's great in the car! He's so affectionate and loves to lay across you in the evenings while on the sofa  - you won't need a water bottle!
Sassy is absolutely adorable. Because she stays upstairs, she really does appreciate company, which is no hardship as she loves to be stroked, groomed and have her belly rubbed. Spending time with Sassy was a great way to start and end the day.
I found it quite difficult to leave them both, as they're so very gorgeous and I loved spending time with them!

Sandra's home is really nice, comfortable and well situated for the supermarket and local attractions. I would definitely recommend this sit.
