Communication with Mary and Joel was easy from the start. Their reasons for wanting to house/pet sit were clear and appealing. As a retired professional couple they do this out of desire to travel well and get some puppy love since their last fur baby passed. We had a facetime call with them and knew they were the perfect fit for us for many reasons - one of which was they had several repeat sits. When they got to our house the first thing Joel did was sit on the floor to meet the pups!! This was very endearing! They arrived the night before we left to meet the dogs and get the lay of the land. Over dinner we learned that we had crossed paths professionally with each of them over the years. They asked great questions about the dogs care and we loved hearing about their upcoming travel plans. Mary wanted to know how we preferred they communicated with us while we were away so a clear expectation was set before we left. We got updates on the dogs walks and wellbeing each day each with Mary telling us how sweet the dogs were every time. We came home to a clean home, sheets and towels washed, trash taken out, etc. Mary left a note letting us know the last time they were fed and walked before they left. She also sent a photo of Parker lying in her packed suitcase...hmmmm..did she want to go home with Mary and Joel?? Obviously a sign she was a happy doggie! We recommend Mary & Joel to everyone!!

Shes a lovely person and took very good care of our 3 dogs and 5 cats.  Our concerns were about the cleanliness of our cookware and some breakage of items.

Ivan and Laura cared for our dog, Theo, and cat, Lola, for almost a month. They were amazing! Two days before we were scheduled to leave, Lola was diagnosed with Ring Worm. This is a very contagious skin disease and can be transmitted from animals to humans. We were prepared to postpone our trip, but Ivan and Laura were fine with administering Lola's medication 3 times a day, every day for 3 weeks. Lola is not the easiest cat to deal with, she rarely likes to be held, let alone have medicine smeared on her ears and face area! They kept us updated on her progress and we were able to complete our trip and even extend it a few days, thanks to their flexible schedule. They kept Theo busy with plenty of ball throwing and walks. Upon our return, Lola had no trace of skin lesions or ring worm. The house was in perfect order.  We would not hesitate to leave our furry kids with Laura and Ivan again and have referred them to our friends. We hope they will be available in the future for another pet sit with Lola and Theo.
