I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Dana for everything she did for our home and our pups and while we were gone. She was the best zeewoi we’ve had.

We came home after a week to a clean and tidy house.
Dana was incredibly communicative.
The pups had a great time.

She is welcome back any time!

What a terrific sit.  Suzanne, Andy and Tallulah could not have been more welcoming and left a comprehensive guide for me. House is utterly beautiful,  immaculate and in a fantastic location. Plenty of parks and great amenities  right on the doorstep. The boys, Rosco and Ruben,  are a dream - they are hilarious and had me giggling with their funny little ways for the entire sit. They are so easy to look after and their manners are impeccable. No trouble at all  and they are never far from your side. Missing their grumbles and snuffles immensely and hope I can return to give them a squeeze soon. Fantastic sit, highly recommend.

Lovely home in a gorgeous location close to the river and Hampton Court Palace.  Ideally situated with plenty of shops, restaurants and the train station all within walking distance. 
Shanthini, Martin and girls were very welcoming and allowed us to use the whole house and explained the routine regarding walking and food.  Scoobie is a very loving, lively chap and Lottie is an adorable old gal, both  were easy to look after and we enjoyed our weekend very much exploring Kingston-upon Thames with the pooches.

Kira is a sweet obedient dog who gave us tours of her favorite parks and loved to swim in Hayden Lake with Terry. She politely slept in her own bed beside ours. She loves to walk and explore and never tugs on the leash. She pretends that she wants you to play fetch with her, but then quickly turns the game into "keep away".

Nell provided a warm and welcoming atmosphere in her home, inviting us to spend two nights prior to her leaving so that she could show us Kira's parks and make sure we had no further questions about the house or instructions.  Our first night there she provided a lovely dinner. 

We had a wonderful time there and loved Hayden and Coeur d'Alene.  The back yard adjoins a beautiful golf course and the front overlooks a meadow that often has numerous deer in it. The turkeys and the quail were an added bonus.  We got lots of close-up pictures of wildlife. There is so much to see and do there. We would highly recommend this sit.

I absolutely loved my stay at Heather's with Dexter and Biscuit. I have another stay lined up with them as well. Dexter loves his walks we went on a couple a day and is easy to handle. Biscuit is getting on in age but so was really playful when I was there.. Both dogs are very well trained and know their routines. Dexter loves pats and will take all that you will give him. I missed them when I went home am looking forward to seeing them again. The bed was absolutely comfortable, with a TV in the bedroom. Heathers communication was great and was on the other end of phone if I needed anything. Really recommend this pet sit

TLDR: Great home, great location, but only suitable for highly experienced dog sitters.

The Rosen home is truly fantastic - they are in a perfect location to be able to access the beach, La Jolla, and everything in San Diego very easily! The home itself is truly wonderful as it has so much space and such nice ammentities. We especially enjoyed the basketball, the lovely garden, and the tennis rackets which can be used on the public tennis courts just blocks away. This home is a gem and located in such a fantastic area.

Russell the dog is a sweetheart most of the time. I was told that he had a biting incident with the vet a few days prior, though it is suspected that this is because he got a vaccine in his hips, which I was told are very sore. We were extra cautious to make sure we never touched his back hips or startled him when he was resting - we always came from the front so he could see us approaching. Russell is 'untrained' in the sense that he knows zero commands... he does not sit when told, he does not stop jumping when told to stop, and he does not come when you say come. He seems to have never been taught some of the basic commands, and for this reason I would only recommend this sit for someone with a lot of dog experience. We did have one incident when he snapped at me trying to put on his leash - the Rosens were quick to respond and order a new harness (that did not require being so close to him to put on), but sadly it did not fit. 

When arriving at the house we were given lots of information on the area and the home, but zero information on Russell and his care. The family responded quickly to my questions, but I had to ask when to feed him, how much, where he sleeps, how often to walk him, what time he wakes/sleeps, where he sleeps. etc.... it was a little odd that so much info was provided for the house but so little on the dog and his care. I am confident that this is partially because this was the families first time using THS and hopefully more information will be given to the next sitters.

I was warned ahead of time that Russell is reactive to ~10% of dogs and barks at any delivery drivers. This was my experience, though if you have worked with many dogs in the past it will not be an issue for you, just something to consider when taking him for walks in areas with other dogs.
