When I first saw Dottie’s profile she sounded like a dream. Her profile was saturated with zen, full of a life of children + animals, public service/volunteer work + she was a traveler/explorer of the world with her career. With all of those she was a quick vet! I couldn't help but think what a *interesting* woman - I must speak with her! After speaking to her, I felt so assured she could handle anything + her presence was calming, warm, saturated in gratitude + peacefulness (which is something I try to aspire to in the theme of my apartment). When she said she connected with my apartment (my patio, etc) + I knew it would be a great match! We started communicating before my trip + she was sending lovely messages, meditations, thoughtful passages + sayings which I LOVED. She even sent a sweet thoughtful card (as my mom had just passed) - kinder than most people I know! I had to push back my trip start date + asked if she wanted to stay with me but she instead was very accommodating + made alternate arrangements + came by the day I was leaving. She sent pictures of the kitties daily + when there was a hail storm she rescued my Nutella, girl cat, from the patio. She was scared + Dottie brought her back in. Any little thing I asked she was great with. I loaded her with a lot of information at the get go + about packages coming in + she was very easy going about it all. We bonded early on over shared life experiences, similar paths we are both on in this last year so when I saw the gifts she left me upon her departing it brightened my day oh so much! We both love art + in her gifts she left some things I can use in my future art which was oh so thoughtful! She also left sweet notes (she is SO good at this!) + a custom gift that was oh so perfectly in tune with my life path now. She also left snacks + a few things I am now using (since I arrived to a fridge with not much). After the toughest year of my life (my mom’s recent passing) these sweet, caring gestures go so far for me. Really. Dottie’s presence is a gift in itself. She cares for all things, people, animals, homes + respects everything! Her kindness is boundless + her thoughtfulness even more so. P.S. I arrived at a super clean home, one where I did not need to do a THING. God bless this woman! I only wish she was local + we could have her more often. Dottie, you were such a blessing to us! Love you! Love, Kim, Max + Nutella

These are literally the cutest cats. The house is nice and in a quiet area. The kitchen is beautiful and stocked with spices, and of course NEW ORLEANS. It was a very fast and cheap to get to Bourbon street. I was able to catch a concert of one of my favorite artists at the Filmore and I experienced so much of New Orleans in a short amount of time. Check it out!

Jody's home was stylish, comfortable, and located in an area of Atlanta that was conveniently located.  When we travel we like to experience life as a local and while staying at Jody's we certainly felt like locals.  We met some really nice people as we walked Tofu and Mr. P and when we only had Mr. P to walk we actually had neighbors stop us asking where the "little dog" was.
We were happy that we were able to help Jody out by extending our stay.  It actually worked out well as there was a bit of confusion regarding her return date.
Tofu, Mr. P, and Potato are wonderful!  They were loving and affectionate and it was easy for us to fall in love with them.  It is clear that they are Jody's priority and the love that she has given them has allowed them to thrive beyond their early life experiences. 
We would happily return to take care of Jody's furry family!
