When we met Orion for the first time, we liked that they were genuinely eager and excited to spend time with our cats. When they came by the house to pick up the key, we showed them around, gave additional instructions, and asked them several times if they had any questions or needed to know about anything else. They confirmed they were fine. However, upon our return, we discovered that some of our instructions were not followed. We told them that we preferred the cats to only go out once a day and that they needed to be back in before sunset because of the coyotes. There is a cat door that has different settings to let them in/out, out only, in only. They left the cat door in/out which was noticeable upon our return because we came home at 8pm and both cats were still outside. In terms of tidiness, we think they did a decent job with cleaning up after themselves, but we were a bit taken aback seeing leftover food in the fridge and having to take out their trash. They also left something at our place, which they later picked up. In terms of communication, we think it was a little bit difficult. There were a few times we asked them a question or stated a preference, and they would not respond or answer our question. It made us confused, like perhaps we miscommunicated or they misunderstood us, but we would not receive an answer. Overall, though, Orion genuinely seemed to enjoy the company of our cats, and for this we appreciate. On the other hand, we’ve learned that we will need to outline all of our expectations in written form for future house sitters and make sure that the sitters understand and agree to them because we didn't feel understood during this house sit.

Mary provided excellent care for our two dogs and one cat over a week’s time. We so appreciated her willingness to meet the dogs beforehand and her attention to detail. Mary sent photos during her stay, staying in touch with us throughout the sit. We would gladly book Mary again.

Valerie and Sam took care of  our house and our dog, Ginger, for 3 weeks.  We could not have been happier with the care they provided.  It exceeded our expectations!  They took great care of Ginger, and also managed to care for the yard, mow the lawn, wash the car and have dinner ready for us on our return!  And, though we didn't have a lot of time together, we really enjoyed their company.  We highly recommend them--6 stars (if that were possible)!

We could not have asked for better house sitters than Chuck and Terri. Our home was in excellent condition when we returned and our dogs,  plants and birds were all so well cared for- thank you!  They are also fine people. We absolutely recommend them without reservation. We would love to have them come back. ( so would our whippets Charlie and Ernie!)
