When Jackie rang the doorbell, both of The Girls ran to the door to give her a warm welcome and immediately took to her as she entered. Once she made it past the initial love and affection offensive offered up to all new arrivals, she was able to sit down on the couch to chat with us, and then they both jumped up by her side! Roxy wasn’t content to just snuggle up next to her like her sister did, but instead rolled over onto her back and put her head in Jackie’s lap, gazing up into her eyes like a lovestruck teenager. It was clear both of them were intensely and immediately comfortable with her, a good sign since in our experience, our doggos are a fabulous judge of character. While all was clearly going great with the dogs, we assured her it was normal if she didn’t see the cats right away; they would probably come out within a day or two. However, before we even boarded the plane, we received a cute photo of Nimbus poking his head out from around the couch with a curious look and the caption, “Look who joined the party.” Followed shortly after by a photo of Limerick saying, “And the gang’s all here!” Parker and I looked at each other and exchanged a knowing look and small sigh of relief: Jackie was *definitely* the perfect choice to watch over our furry family, and we would have no reason to waste time thinking about what was happening at home! While we were away, she consistently kept us posted on our pets antics by sending adorable photos of everyone throughout, allowing us to check in when we had Wi-Fi. Due to weather delays for our later flight, we opted to catch an earlier flight home the last day. Even though we arrived home hours earlier than expected, the place was already spotless, the bed had been remade, the towels were in the dryer, and there, on the kitchen counter, were freshly picked wildflowers in a vase that she admitted, “The Girls helped her pick out.” We could tell by the way they all related to her, the entire family had been well loved while we were away. It was also obvious they’d had quite an effect on her too, as she was clearly sad to leave them behind, saying how much she would miss them and even offering to be their guardian if anything were to ever happen to us, as we don’t have any family who could take them. Not only is Jackie an amazing sitter, she is a kind, generous, loving, warm and genuinely good human being, one who not only loves animals, but is easy to talk to and fun company to have around. Had we not had a flight to catch that first night, Parker and I could have just as easily chosen to go out to dinner or spent the rest of the evening in engaging conversation with her. If you get an application from Jackie to watch over your pets and home, don’t hesitate. Just hit accept and know that your pets will thank you for it! The next time we head out of town, we will absolutely be hitting her up first to see if she’s available, long before we post our next sit publicly.

Hannah was a responsible and caring sitter for our home and our precious cat.  Our cat had hurt her leg just a few days before we had to leave and Hannah had no hesitation to administer medication for the next week. Hannah also  monitored her progress and reported to us.  It was good to hear that our cat was no longer limping and was happy running around.  We also had an unexpected issue, and along with our instructions, Hannah handled the situation calmly and sensibly. We fully recommend and wish Hannah the best for her next assignment.

Summer
We had a great time! Easy home to take care of and the cutest dogs! They were fun to take care of, honey is friendly from the start and tippy warms up after a few days (the more walks the faster he likes you). Honey pees when she’s nervous/excited, wants to play ball and enjoys attention. Tippy isn’t too much into fetching and wants attention on his terms. Sunny was great and we would house sit again happily!

ELLEN
We had a wonderful stay at Ellen and Larry's beautiful lakeside home for 11 days with our gorgeous new friend Pepsi. We were made so very welcome by Ellen and Larry and loved our stay very much. Their gated community is just gorgeous... Safe, great facilities and so friendly. Surrounded by stunning cycle and walkways for miles around Lakewood Ranch and we were lucky to have use of their bikes to explore. Pepsi was so well behaved enjoyed her walks but very happy just relaxing with us and snuggling up at night. Thanks again for choosing us we loved our stay

Sarel
We had a wonderful time housesitting for Col and Sarel. They welcomed us with a family dinner where we also met their adorable parents and it made us feel quite comfortable.Their two cats, Bonnie and Clyde are very laid back and no trouble at all to care for. Clyde was the more vocal and engaging of the two, but they were a delightful pair. The home is spacious, beautiful and easy to spend time in. We ventured into Whitehead most days, mainly because of McKees Bakery and the treats within. There are lots of lovely, natural attractions nearby for sitters but the combination of the cats and the house meant we were happy to spend most of our time at "home". Would highly recommend Col and Sarels to other sitters.

Nancy
Nancy was so kind and we had great communication! Even that her travel plans got canceled due to the pandemic, and we agreed on canceling this sit, she still offered me to come and stay with her! Unbelievably kind offer! I had to turn it down but it's definitely not an obvious act of kindness! 
Thank you so much Nancy for being such a nice and amazing person!

We really loved our 2 weeks stay in the leafy suburbs of Paris..Piero and Laurence and Thea have a lovely home with 2 character cats Toto and Zoe that were lots of fun and entertainment.
 We spent many hours just watching them in the back garden chasing butterflys and watching them roll and want rubs. Would love to come back again ,great hosts with plenty of information,highly recommend. Thankyou for the wonderful opportunity!
