As new arrivals in Edmonton, we found ourselves without a house sitter for when we go away. Through a co-worker we learned about Larry and Jeanette and invited them to come and meet us and our pets. We have a 65 pound American Bulldog, a 35 pound Bernadoodle and a 26 pound house cat. We immediately hit it off and received the blessing of the furry members of the family who took to Larry and Jeanette immediately. We further cemented this with a second visit where Larry and Jeanette spent more times with the puppies. I always trust my dogs’ reaction to people, and they were right again. Larry and Jeanette kept great care of our home and our pets. The house was cleaner when we got home than it was when we left and our pets were loved and treated like members of the family. We received regular updates and photos of how our furry family was doing; Long walks, movie night snuggles on the couch and of course the struggle for finding room for everyone in the same bed at night time. We look forward to having them watch over our home and pets again, knowing that both are in excellent hands.
Steven was an excellent house sitter - he was reliable and good to communicate with. He looked after our gorgeous puppies and cat with ease. I would highly recommend him.
