We had the great pleasure of inviting Les and Lorraine into our home two days before our departure and knew immediately that all would be well whilst away on our five week journey. When we returned we found a very happy dog newly bathed and an absolutely spotless house. Prior to and during our vacation all communication was prompt, clear and fun with many photos exchanged. I would recommend their "Sit" to anyone! Both Grant and I would like to consider them both our new friends from New Zealand and hope to visit one day. I am just sorry the weather they had to endure was cool and wet!
Linda took excellent care of our cat, Hedy. She was very attentive to Hedy's routines-- her desire to go out in the morning to inspect the property, her naps and feeding schedule. Because Hedy is an indoor/outdoor cat she requires a bit more attention. She was out when the guys came to cut our lawn. They made a lot of noise which Hedy doesn't like. When Hedy came back inside she was out of breath probably from running up a steep hill. Linda was very soothing, lying down on the floor with her and assuring her that all was well. Linda sent photos of Hedy on a regular basis. Jay and I were able to come home a day early. Linda agreed , but had forgotten. When we arrived home after a long drive we were surprised to find her things still here. She was very apologetic and quickly gathered up her belongings when she returned from dinner. We had offered to have her stay the night, but she was comfortable driving home. Our home was well cared for and in good order. The bottom line is Linda took great care of Hedy and Hedy was happy cat when we got home. Thanks, Linda
