Jon and Freda are the most kind and caring people we have ever met. Our dogs Sandi and Lucy were treated more special than anyone could imagine. They became a part of their family with lots of attention and tender loving care. Both dogs were spoiled and enjoyed ventures to Tractor Supply, Petsmart and Home Depot and even rides around the local lakes. Lucy received a special new cuddly bed on one trip. Our pups were more than well cared for as was obvious by Jon and Freda’s attention to detail making them feel well loved. They very quickly learned their personalities and were great about communicating with questions or concerns to ensure that the best possible care was given. We received pictures, special moments and regular updates on our fur kids. We came home to a well-maintained house inside and out. We were and are so appreciative to have such a great couple (Jon and Freda) to stay in our house and to take care of our dogs, Sandi and Lucy. We came back to two very calm, relaxed and happy dogs. I know that they missed them when they left since they looked around to find them after they had left. There were also some beautiful flowers left for us when we returned home; so very thoughtful! It is very comforting to know that when you go away that you have such fantastic people watching your house and dogs. We would love to have them come sit at our house sometime in the future. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a perfect house/dog sitter……on a scale of 1 to 10….10 is not a high enough rating. A great big thanks to Jon and Freda for helping us with some flexibility as we were able to be there for our son's college graduation and do all of the necessary things to move him out of his apartment as well as visit some family and friends. Linda and Gary

Suzanne
Suzanne was very hospitable and Daisy was nothing but a joy and friendly to be around. Daisy loves long walks and sleeping in the bed with you. Suzanne's place is  close to the airport via the Blue Line and very accessible by Public Transport. With a 10minute T ride, you're in the heart of Boston. I would come back to sit for Suzanne if the opportunity arises. I encourage any dog lovers to come here. Daisy is so loveable and well trained, so you'll have no problems

I loved staying in Janet’s house and taking care of the cats. She has a small piece of paradise and I really enjoyed my time there. I’m going to miss the cats and Wiggly will always have a piece of my heart ❤️

Mehrunissa
Mehrunissa  is a very organized and lovely person who has a friendly very senior cat, 17yrs! Mehrunissa was good enough to pick me up from the train station late in the evening. Her flat was totally spacious and very clean and comfortable. We briefly went over the basic care for Macci . We were in constant contact which I appreciated in case there was any emergency, which thankfully there wasn't. I enjoyed my sit  very much I was honored she put her trust in me to care for her lovely home and aging cat !
And the bus was right out front!

Greg
We had such a great time to sit Greg’s house and Monty! The location is really great, safe and walking distance to restaurants and parks in Welland. Communication with Greg was easy and Monty is a calm, friendly and lovely dog! Thanks so much for this great experience!

Simone
Had a wonderful time in Hayes looking after Simone's gorgeous cats and fish. Tom and Tubby were very affectionate and loved sitting on my lap in front of the TV. They were really easy to take care of, as were the fish. 
Simone and Susanna were lovely. Very communicative and easy going. Their flat is lovely and spacious and not too far from London and Windsor. I really enjoyed exploring Hayes, too, with the wide variety of restaurants and shops.

JOAN
Milly  is very sweet and a bit shy at the beginning but cuddly after a while. She’s also the best fly’s 🪰 catcher I’ve ever seen 😊
The little cottage is comfortable, located in a small village  and it’s at walking distance to supermarkets and pubs for a quick meal.Nice outdoor seating. Well equipped kitchen.
Oxford is half an hour away by bus with plenty of options and bus stop nearby.
It would be great to have been provided with a detailed welcome guide, such as check in and check out procedures, access to wifi and streaming services,to make sure  the sitters meet Joan’s expectations and vice versa. I was informed how to feed the cat and its routine by email, as required for the preferred method of communication.
Thank you for having me Joan.
