Ranger and Rocket are the cutest furballs full of love! They loved getting belly rubs and munching on snacks while watching the WNBA and Washington Spirit games with me. Ranger is such a joy to walk and explore the neighborhood which is conveniently close to many fantastic pet-friendly restaurants, bars, historic DC walking trails, and easy mass transit access. The neighbors were all so friendly and welcoming. Yegor, our host, was amazing. His home is cozy and inviting like Ranger and Rocket. He put together a detailed welcome pack for us. He was always available whenever we needed anything via phone or text. Rocket, the sweetie, shared her favorite hiding spots in the house. Their laid-back personalities made the whole experience incredibly enjoyable! I would welcome sitting with them again. Thank you Yegor, Ranger and Rocket.

I truly enjoyed this sit for Lulu & Chris. They are very friendly people & made me feel very welcome in their spacious but cosy home in the very nice area of Llandaf / Cardiff. 
Lulu introduced me to the 3 amigos. (Flossy & Daisy the dogs & Alf the cat) and ran me through everything that I needed to know. 
I do not think anyone could find better behaved pets anywhere. They were such a joy to be with & I was sad to say goodbye to them. I really hope that I get to take care of them again in the future.
Absolutely loved it. 
Diolch yn fawr / thank you very much, Lulu & Chris.

We had such a lovely time caring for Lily and Scooter this past weekend! Sue has a beautiful home in a wonderful area with lots of great parks closeby (as well as the beach very close!)
Sue met us prior to the housesit and was very welcoming and kind. The two dogs we got to care for were such lovely company! Lily being my little shadow around the house and Scooter lots of fun on walks!
Will miss them!

The other reviewers captured the house, property, and surrounding quite well so we will focus on the pets. Melanie welcomed us into her home and surprised us with a gift basket. She had thorough instructions and was easily available for any questions. 

We had a lovely time hanging out with:

1. Charlie was like a fluffy ghost who came and out of the shadows. His feeding requires stealth and patience but he seemed to be used to it. He liked to be petted and would let you know when he was ready for attention with his raspy meow. 

2. Rudy was the elder statesmen of the dogs. He enjoyed his alone time and surveyed his domain from the back porch. He also liked to be in your lap when watching TV. This was fine until Tucker wanted to join him. 

3. Iris was a sweet girl who liked to run with the boys until she got tired and needed a long nap in the bed. She was always happy to see you, show you her toys, and tussle with Tucker. 

4. Tucker is a lovable big boy who wants to be near you at all times. If you leave the room, he will show you how much he missed you as soon as you return. He preferred that we pet him instead of the others - he would work his way between us and them whenever he can. He was a real sweetie and we miss him already. 

Definitely recommend this sit out in the country with these furry friends.

Elena is a lovely and caring host who maintains her new home in the eastern outskirts of Tucson bordering a golf course in a lovely, clean condition. It has everything you need to be comfortable including a great bed and bedroom suite!
My only disappointment came from(in part)my choosing to sit her home after reading about her lovely woodsy location with walking trails etc in her past sitters reviews. It turns out that they were actually from her previous home in Washington state and totally different from what I found in the new Tucson house! So although it still turned out to be a lovely home and neighborhood, I feel the need to mention this so the next sitters are aware of the change in state and home! You can see the beauty in her pictures.
I had alot of fun with Daisy the dog who grew increasingly trusting of and affectionate with me and loved our long walks out in the desert. She was nervous about being in my car, yet readily jumped in any time I opened the door for her since she understood we were going on another adventure together! She adores sniffing out new places! Be Careful to not let her get near other dogs, especially those bigger than her. She doesn't do well in this situation, which surprised me because she is such a sweet gentle dog at all other tines! She loves to be cuddled and stroked as much as you are willing and gives back her love ever so sweetly.
Boo the cat is more self reliant and her favorite activity is sitting outside in the yard in her catio! She was envious of Daisy and I enjoying morning coffee and other times hanging out on the patio until I realized this was a safe way to include her with us! She's a bit of an escape artist which i learned when the front door didn't get fully latched one day (thankfully i was faster than her and she didn't fuss as i picked her up in the yard and carried her back inside!)so you need to be totally sure all doors are fully clicked shut as youi go in and out of the house! After that I made sure she had lots of time lounging in the sun and watching all the birds and feeling the company of Daisy and myself with her!
She reminded me everyone needs their time in the sun!
Beaker the parrot has a fantastic litany of voices and words..and is a very talkative parrot who likes to be engaged with his humans. However he also let's out very loud sqwauks when he cannot see you for awhile leaving me to find creative ways to let him know that we didn't enjoy those sounds as much as others. I did discover how much he loves crunchy things he can nibble on slowly like tortilla chips and buttered toast crusts cut in long thin pieces and they turned out to be an alternative way to quiet him down in those louder moments! I thoroughly enjoyed preparing fruits and vegies,grains and sprouted seeds for him. And witnessing his eating pleasure! 
All in all...this sit was a great learning experience for me and gave me the opportunity to learn about a part of tucson I didn't know at all. Thank you Elena! MANY BLESSINGS in yiur new home and life!
