This is a completely honest review. I heard that TH reviews are often "dressed up" on both sides. This is not, and I hope that it will be helpful. Debby and Mark were the greatest dog and house sitters I can imagine. For three weeks - and three weeks can be a very long time to sit for someone - they took care of our two (very strange) dogs and our home. They managed things when the water heater failed unexpectedly, requiring them to shower at the guest house and to do without hot water at the main house. Two plumbing emergencies, with the latter requiring a wait until our scheduled return. Not an inconvenience they signed up for.... They sent photos to us almost daily of our two puppy-mill rescues, and took the extra time and effort to coax the dogs into interacting with them. The older dog - 10 years - recently had abdominal surgery for having ingested a rock; they took her to the vet to have her sutures removed (as this couldn't happen until two days into our absence). Before our return, they washed these (sweet but squirrly) pups. Most of all, it's obvious that the dogs were treated lovingly, as per their easy adaptation to having us home. Debby and Mark did the laundry and dishes, and cleaned off their cabinet shelves and fridge shelves/drawers before our return. In fact, they cleaned everything so well that I can't tell they were here. Did they bring their own hand soap? Ours is still full. I prepped supplies and the house for them - but can't tell that anything was used. I am so incredibly grateful to Debby and Mark. I hope they get wonderful invitations to fabulous destinations. And I hope they'll stay in touch with us - as housesitters and as friends. Please feel free to contact me at any time for a verbal verification of this review.

We had the pleasure to take care of Patti and Pepper for about a week. They both have very interesting characters which differ from each other. While it took some time for Pepper to get warm with us, Patti gifted us with trust straight from the beginning. During our time, Patti needed some medicine which turned out to be a challenge sometimes as she's a very fast learner. However, we managed it with some tricks 🤭 Also I've never seen a cat that eats so fast, other than Pepper, who was very slow and picky. So we needed to keep an eye on that to make sure Patti is not stealing her food ;-).

Guido and Henriette are wonderful and kind pet parents. They even invited us to come the day before to get to know each other and the cats and prepared delicious food for us.

We had a great time housesitting for Fiona and Brian. They have a beautiful house in a nice and private location which was great for daily walks in the national park. 

Bella is very cute, loving and easy to take care of, and the chickens were very friendly! We loved the aquarium, the coral is really beautiful and the fish are fascinating.

Fiona left clear instructions for all the animals care which was very helpful. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our time housesitting here and would love to come again!

Neige and Surly are great little dogs. They are sweet. They are very obedient when they want to go outside. They are puppy mill rescues so they have lots of accidents, but they are very nice dogs. The house is beautiful and Dave is very, very nice. Highly recommend.
