We met Lisa and Stephen for the first time the day before our outbound flight, and we immediately liked them. More importantly, our dog Mollie LOVED them. There was an immediate connection as Mollie greeted Lisa and Stephen. I could tell they knew dogs, and knew how to handle and communicate with them. Right off the bat we felt confident Mollie was in good hands. That day and evening we spent time with them answering good questions and watching the bonding between our dog and these new faces. Lisa and Stephen were dog owners, and they have logged in thousands of hours dog-sitting for their family and neighbors. It was clear they were highly conscientious; we could tell that just from the questions they asked. Communication was superb. We got several cute photos every day along with a brief report on how things were going at home. This really put us nervous parents at ease. They knew to call us with any questions or concerns, but that was never necessary due to their “pet competence.” The icing on the cake was when we returned home. The house was neat and immaculate, and Mollie was happy and playing with them both. A fresh tablecloth and flowers were on our kitchen table. How nice to come home to that. We hope we can have these folks back again. Our experience was excellent, and we recommend them to anyone looking for responsible sitters.

Barbara
My experience at Barbara‘s home was absolutely amazing, I would go back in a heartbeat! 

Barbara is a warm, friendly person and her house is perfectly comfortable and cosy. She showed me the wonderful town, introduced me to friends and neighbors and left detailed instructions regarding the dogs and the house. Barbara was easy to get in touch with and we stayed in regular communication throughout her trip. 

The dogs (girls) Flo and Poppy are just adorable, friendly and cute. They are well behaved and very good with all other dogs. I was allowed to bring my own dog with me and they all get on well and we spent a wonderful time together during our daily hiking adventures in the surrounding beautiful mountain area. 

Thank you so much for a memorable time. I’m really looking forward to future sits with Poppy and Flo!

Damien
We spent an amazing ten days at Damien and Callie‘s home and had a really good time with big goofy Tayto and somewhat shy but cuddly Bean. 
This was our first housesit and it was a wonderful experience. Damien and Callie made it so easy for us, arranging for us to meet them after dinner and then staying overnight with relatives so that we could have the house and get to know Tayto and Bean that first night while they were still close enough to offer assistance if we had questions. They left really clear instructions for us and spent time going through how to do everything before they left. 
The house is really lovely and is in an easy location to access everything that Greater Victoria has to offer. The bedroom they had prepared for us had a very comfortable bed, room in the closet for our clothes and a lovely desk to use while working. 
Tayto the dog gets a bit reactive on the leash sometimes and he is a big boy who can pull hard, but Damien took us for a walk with Tayto before they left to show us how to handle Tayto. And over the ten days, we developed a really good routine and walking Tayto was really pretty easy as long as we stayed vigilant and let him know he didn’t have to take care of us! Bean took a couple of days to warm up to us, but she was gentle with us right from the beginning and didn’t take too long to curl up near by and to purr when we cuddled with her. 
We would happily housesit for Damien and Callie again.

Adriana
We loved housesitting for Adrianna and Matt! Their home is cosy and located in a beautiful and peaceful part of the valley. Max and Mia were such a joy to spend time with. They have lots of energy for walks and playing but also love to chill out and curl up on the couch of an evening.  We took them on many walks and hikes and they were incredibly well behaved on and off the lead. Adrianna and Matt gave us a thorough handover with plenty of local tips. They were super communicative the whole time and love to receive photos and updates, which we were happy to provide (the dogs are very photogenic!). The house is well equipped and we enjoyed many evenings in their yard watching the sunset over Mont Blanc. They left a car for us to use which was really helpful to be able to do groceries and some further away hikes as the house is tucked away in the valley. We would absolutely recommend this house sit!

Alison
I had a wonderful stay at Alison and Stuart’s beautiful peaceful ,home looking after adorable Betty( cavapoo)  and Eeny ( cat). Betty is such sweet , easy company and she loves her walks around local fields and some ball play . Eeny does her own thing but would often sit near us in the garden when we were relaxing in the sun . Alison and Stuart were very welcoming , generous ,friendly , well organised and communication before and during the sit was always clear .
I enjoyed a trip to the local arboretum and a lovely swim in the Avon river which one of Alison’s friendly neighbours told me about .
I loved this petsit with cuddly Betty and Eeny and would highly recommend it.

Paula
My sit for Lilly, was nothing short happiness! She was such a joy to walk, play, and snuggle with each day. Lilly is an absolute people person and enjoys meeting and being with others wherever we went. She is not shy, so we were fast friends!

Paula is AMAZING to connect with. We had solid communication, her home was warm and hospitable, and she LOVES her Lilly! It was awesome watching their genuine affection for one another. 

As well, the area was great for exploring, and getting acquainted with a new part of Germany. I recommend this sit highly for anyone that has the opportunity and loves caring well for animals.

Bernice
Absolutely fantastic dogs&house sit. One of a kind.
It was friendship at first sight, with Bernice and Lorenz as well as with the dogs.
Bernice and Lorenz are both super positive, easy-going, and interesting to talk with. I enjoyed every minute with them, not to mention Lorenz's delicious cooking. They left me with clear instructions, we stayed in touch, and I felt I could call them with any issue.
The house is beautifully located in the middle of a nature reserve with all the wildlife walking freely around (there is a fence so they cannot enter the garden). I had my own room and bathroom. I brought food/groceries with me, but I could freely use whatever was in the kitchen. I felt like I was at home.
Maintenance of the house is simple, basic things.
And the most important part – the dogs. They are so well-behaved, angels with character. All they need is love, and they give lots of love too. They just accept you immediately and steal your heart. During the walks through the bush, they stay calm when meeting wildlife. It was usually me getting excited seeing giraffes, gnus, and even porcupines.
I enjoyed walks through the reserve, calm time with the dogs and a book on the terrace.Seeing wildlife up close like that is an unforgettable memory.
Thank you, Bernice & Lorenz.
