Tegan and Jacob were INCREDIBLE. Less than a week before we left Ernest with them for two nights, Ernest had to have emergency surgery. Afterwards, Ernest was taking three medications, twice a day, and had to be kept trapped in our bathroom, so that he didn't move too much or jump on anything. I was very worried and considered cancelling my work trip. How could a stranger be trusted to keep an eye on him, give him his medications on time, spend time with him in a bathroom?? But Tegan and Jacob came to the RESCUE! They immediately inspired confidence so I felt like I could go without guilt. And then they delivered. They literally sat with their laptops on the bathroom floor so Ernest could sit next to them and not be lonely. They handled his multiple meds and reported twice a day with photos as to how he was doing. They kept an eye on his surgical site and reported on his urine. They left us a two-page handwritten note with all the details about his condition along with freshly baked cookies - just because. They even cleaned up the flies that were starting to accumulate in the bathroom because of the food we were leaving out for Ernest there. I am stunned by their commitment and kindness. Ernest has been much less anxious about being trapped in the bathroom, I think because he no longer associates it with isolation and loneliness. My husband and I are left to wonder whether we should have gone away longer 😅 Anyway, I can go on and on, but they were absolutely the right people to find at the right time, and we (and Ernest) feel very fortunate to have had them here. Strong strong recommend!!

Phillip did a wonderful job taking care of my pets and my apartment. I received daily updates and pictures. It was so nice to be able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about anything at home!

This is honestly one of the best sits I've done, and not just because Roxy and Rosy are such great companions, but because Wendy and Dave made me feel so completely welcome.

Roxy and Rosy are sweethearts! It definitely took them some time to warm up to me, but, as long as there was food, somewhere good to nap, and playtime, they were content. Their schedule was clearly outlined in the detailed Welcome Guide, as well as care of the fish, but I was shown everything before they left so I knew exactly what to do. Roxy had a sore on her back leg, which they showed me when I arrived, and it needed some extra attention during the sit. But they were both incredibly helpful when it came to helping Roxy and taking care of her. 

Wendy and Dave were both incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home as soon as I arrived. I stayed the night before they left and I'm really grateful that it gave us time to get to know each other. But I really loved that we stayed in touch between the first WhatsApp call and the start to the sit. It all made me feel really taken care of and comfortable when I arrived. Wendy was kind enough to take me shopping, as well as drive me to some local points of interest, and it was a great way to get to know the area! They both kept in good contact throughout the sit.

The home is exactly as described. Lovely, spacious, very welcoming, and great energy! The room I stayed in was so nice, with its own balcony, next to an incredible bathroom! The location is fantastic, with beautiful views from the windows looking out onto the hills and the river. Wendy and Dave were happy to show me how everything worked and I felt completely comfortable contacting them about anything. There is a bus stop at the bottom of the road and the bus service is incredible - it goes so frequently and will take you literally anywhere in and around Kamloops! Everything is easily accessible. There are also some fantastic walks in the area. There is a walk along the river that I went on every day during the sit, as well as stunning day long walks nearby.

I'm really grateful I had the opportunity to do this sit. It was such a fantastic experience and I feel really lucky to have met Wendy and Dave as well! I can't recommend it enough.
