I have had many many pet sitters over the last few years and unfortunately this is the first time I feel the need to write a less than 5 star review. Evin has lots of good reviews and when we met her everything was fine and I felt happy to trust our cats and apartment with her. My biggest disappointment was that 3 days before the end of the sit she messaged saying she was leaving the next day as she had some ‘unexpected news’ and hoped we could ‘work around’ it. They are not plants. I expect a level of commitment for what you agreed to when you are trusted to stay and care for someone’s pets. When we came back the apartment was not as clean as we left it (I really make an effort to make sure everything is really clean for house sitters.) The litter trays were also completely full (more than a couple of days worth). Our bin in the kitchen, which is rather new, had 2 deep dents in the top which Evin didn’t tell us about. There were also some odd things, like it seems like my shoes had been used, as the laces were tied up and pulled tight, and I don’t take my shoes off with the laces done up. And my wardrobe was left ajar, and it was closed when I left. I was really surprised by our negative experience as Evin has lots of positive reviews. She had been travelling for a year and ours was the last sit before she was going back to the US. I can only assume she didn’t have the same commitment to what both sides agree to and expect during a house sit anymore.

Barbara
Teresa and I were thrilled to meet “Harley the Wonder Cat” but unfortunately our house sit was disrupted by the coronavirus crisis as Barbara was overseas and needed to return within 2 days. She even offered that we could stay with her but we decided to head home given the increasing concerns over the coronavirus. Harley was personable and adorable and we quickly became enamored with him. The home was beautiful, in a great neighborhood and an easy walk to restaurants, stores, etc. In addition, Barbara was extremely organized, her communication superb and the welcome guide was very thorough. We would welcome an opportunity to house sit for her again in the future!

Mary
Mary and Nick are excellent, kind and friendly hosts. They made us feel very welcome and they have a lovely, spotlessly clean, well equipped and comfortable home. The information guide they supplied for the sit on caring for their gorgeous kitties was extremely well thought through and comprehensive. Chianti, Shiraz and Pinot are adorable and a privilege to care for. Thanks again Mary and Nick. We look forward to returning.

Suzan
We had an absolutely wonderful housesit at Suzan's home in South Cocoa Beach.  Her home is lovely.  It is well-equipped with everything you might need or want.  A new and wonderfully appointed kitchen, beach chairs and umbrellas, and fast internet.  The beach is just across the street and it is amazing.  It is quiet and truly felt like our own private beach.  The pool and hot tub were so nice as well.  Ellie is an absolute joy.  She is so energetic and fun to play with yet still very low maintenance.  Our time went by so fast and we would highly recommend this housesit to anyone.

Our time with Bindi was absolutely splendid. It was very easy and natural to communicate with Chris and Stephanie. They were very helpful with info, restaurant and trail ideas, and all kinds of cool Durango tips. Their home and location are fabulous.
 Bindi is a sweet dog who wants to be around, giving and receiving love. We love her and hope to return to Durango again. 
Thanks Bindi, Chris and Stephanie!
Hope to see you around the Animas river bend again,
Erik and Emilee.

I really enjoyed my stay at this gorgeous house, in a nice neighborhood, with an amazing pup! Annie is very friendly, and had super adorable bursts of excitement! She likes being around all of the time and is good around other people, for the most part she ignores everybody and other dogs which is really nice.  She loves snow and water! The guys are great too, communicate very well and very accommodating making sure to take care of anything before it becomes an issue. Definitely recommend and hope I get another opportunity!
