What a joy and an honor it was to have Phyllis and Jerry care for my home and my pets. I could write an epistle to describe in detail how much they did and how well they accomplished each responsibility. Our correspondence began many months ahead of my posted dates. Throughout this time, we stayed connected, and as we got closer, we shared more details about my home and care for the pets. Response time was prompt, friendly and courteous. They were incredibly flexible and understanding when I had to adjust my flight time and date. They arrived early on my departure day so we could have time for orientation, lunch, and conversation. Phyllis and Jerry were meticulous in following the instructions I left for cat and home care. They were dedicated to assuring me that things at home were going well by sending pictures of the cats included with special vignettes. They were respectful of my home and took great care of everything as if it were their own. For example, when the hose unexpectedly burst in the back yard on a hot day, they carried water in a bucket to my young Arbor Vitae trees. They are the kind of people who go the “extra mile” based on their high values and elevated work ethics. When I returned home, everything was glistening and spotless. The carpets had been vacuumed, the laundry completed, the dishwasher and waste baskets emptied, the stove shined, and the kitty litter was scooped and cleaned. My fur babies were happy and relaxed, an indication that they had excellent care while I was away. A delightful surprise was the colorful Autumn gift basket and note they left on the counter. I highly recommend Phyllis and Jerry in every way. They exceeded my expectations and fulfilled every task. They are friendly, enthusiastic, and fun to be around, and both have had a wide variety of experiences that translate into good common sense and wise decisions. It was truly my privilege to have the opportunity to meet them and to benefit from all they had to offer me, my home, and my cats.

I had the pleasure of having Taru as my sitter, and I can't say enough about her exceptional care and compassion. From the moment we met, there was an instant connection. Taru is truly a kindred spirit, and her expertise in pet care is remarkable.

Taru's ability to connect with my feline companions was truly something special. With Sioux, the matriarch and supervisor, she showed a gentle understanding that put my mind at ease. As for Nukaq, the quirky one, Taru's patience and attentiveness were extraordinary. She effortlessly read their needs and provided a loving, caring environment that made it seem as though she was their second mom.

Taru embraced her role as a caregiver for my furry friends just as she would for a fellow human. She didn't just meet their basic needs; she went above and beyond to ensure they felt safe, comfortable, and loved during her stay. Her consistent communication throughout her time with my pets reassured me that they were in capable and caring hands.

I cannot recommend Taru enough as a sitter. Her kindred spirit and pet care expertise are truly exceptional. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets with the same love and attention as you would, Taru is the perfect choice.

Thank you, Taru, for being an outstanding sitter and for providing such a positive experience for both me and my beloved feline companions.

While we were gone, we had some outside plumbing issues that could have been much more challenging to deal with if it weren’t for Seth. A great and genuine guy we would fully trust for the future too.

Elena/ Scott and their daughter were wonderful pet sitters! They were very communicative, and sent us lots of pup updates while we were gone. The dogs had a blast with their new people friends, and the home was kept spotlessly clean :) We would happily welcome them to sit for us again!
