Bridget and Jim were amazing! They took 5 star care of our pups, our plants and our home. We arrived back to happy, well exercised pups, a clean space and homemade soup and bread thanks to the their amazing skills in the kitchen! As dog owners of their own energetic puppy, they were totally up for the adventure of spending a week with our sporting breed dogs. We could not be more happy to have had them here.
If I could give Sapphire more than 5 stars, I would. She exceeded our expectations of a housesitter in every way, but in particular with her generosity, flexibility, and professionalism when faced with a big error on our part. Sapphire was an absolute pleasure from the beginning -- easy and fast to communicate with, and flexible with planning arrival and getting settled. In person, she was warm, immediately affectionate with our pup, and a quick study re: all the house things. She provided excellent pet care, walking our dog daily and sending daily photos of a clearly very relaxed and happy girl. All of that would've been enough -- but when we belatedly realized we'd listed the wrong return date, giving Sapphire only a few hours' notice we were arriving a day early, she absolutely rolled with it. Despite the short notice, we returned to an immaculate home cleaner than the one we'd left, with a happy and calm pup awaiting belly rubs. She'd even washed our towels! Unbelievable. After our error, Sapphire would've been well within her rights to be upset and certainly, to forget about cleaning up -- but instead, she was forgiving and understanding. We can only hope to be like her when faced with similar challenges. Overall, she is a great house/petsitter and an extremely lovely human. Wholeheartedly recommend!!
