Journey and Dave spent three weeks at our home taking care of our cats and we were so lucky to have them! From the very first interaction they were kind and considerate and put us totally at ease. They arrived the day before we left and we showed them around our house and holiday cottage and did a walkthrough of our routine. Journey took notes and was so attentive. They were accommodating and flexible with all of our requests. Throughout our trip Journey sent updates and lovely pictures and videos of the girls. We have two senior cats with some health issues and often their routine needs to be altered day to day depending on their behaviour. Journey was great at communicating any issues with me and incorporating my suggestions. Both my senior girls were happy and healthy when we returned. Journey and our kitten Smokey seemed to really bond. Journey spent time playing with Smokey to keep her entertained and drain her endless kitten energy. Our houses and garden were in perfect condition when we returned. Dave offered to help in the garden and we gave him free rein. No surprise that we came back to a garden that looked better than when we left! Dave made us an amazing beef stew for our return and it was so lovely not to have to cook dinner. From start to finish both Journey and Dave went above and beyond. There is a real sense of love and care to everything they do. I can’t express how fortunate we felt to be able to visit my family for three weeks knowing that our home and cats were in the best hands. I would absolutely recommend Journey and Dave and would love to have them back to sit for us again!

Linda was fabulous! Lulu is not feeling that great and she gave her a special diet for six days by giving her fresh chicken and rice and blue. Luk got much better after that week!  The house was clean and she’s a joy. She will be back in a week for another day so I would definitely suggest having her if she applies.!!

Others have stated how wonderful Linda and Tony are and we couldn't agree more!  They are incredibly professional, warm and generous sitters.  From the start we knew they were going to be perfect when we saw our somewhat shy Springer Spaniel, Riley, put his head on Tony's lap within a few minutes of their arrival.  Our cat, Oscar, was equally enamored with them.  We enjoyed getting to know them, as well, and were thrilled that they would be taking care of our pets and house.  Unfortunately for Linda and Tony, Seattle had one of the worse stretches of winter weather in decades while they were staying at our house.  A primary bridge was closed due to high winds and Linda and Tony drove 2-1/2 hours around the Hood Canal to get to our house (normally a 10-minute trip) so they they could take care of Riley and Oscar.  It was truly a heroic effort!  High winds caused further problems by damaging one of our boat covers.  Tony checked on the boat after the storm, notified us immediately, and  worked to remove the cover and bring it to our house.  The final inconvenience for them was a muddy entrance caused by excessive rain and resulting delay in a landscaping project that was to have been finished by the time they arrived.  They were very good sports, "weathering" all of this and giving Riley and Oscar as much outside time as possible, in spite of the circumstances.  While we were gone, Tony and Linda kept us well informed, texting and emailing photos of Riley, Oscar and even our landscape project.  They were very consciencious about making sure our rental house next door was managed properly, too.  We returned to an immaculate house and even shared a lovely dinner prepared by Tony and Linda.  From our perspective, they deserve many gold stars!!!  We highly recommend Tony and LInda and hope they'll return for future sits.

We would wholeheartedly recommend Alexa as a pet sitter. From our first conversation and meeting, to her 5 night pet sitting stay - she made the entire process pleasant and stress free. Our pets took to her immediately and she spent much time with them bonding, playing and cuddling. She sent updates and photos, and kept us well informed while we were away. Of special note, she took Trudy our dog, on long walks regularly, and left the house clean and in great condition when she departed. Alexa put us at ease and made our time away worry free.  She's well organized, and self-reliant, trustworthy and easy to work with. A true animal lover, Alexa was an amazing pet sitter and we look forward to calling on her again for future trips.

We had a absolutely amazing time looking after Cara. She is such a sweet kind dog. Very easy to look after and very well behaved. The home and location was lovely and peaceful and Waitsfield is a lovely village with lots of hiking,biking, skiing and great breweries nearby. Tawny and Ben were very welcoming and friendly and their hospitality was brilliant thank you.  I would highly recommend this housesit 😀
