Bryan
Grace was great! Our pets were well looked after while we were gone. She was very communicative and lets us know how the pets were doing. I would definitely have Grace sit for us again.

Veronika
Veronika and Alex were great communicators prior to and during the stay. We had a great time watching Sascha, who is the sweetest girl. Their house is in a great building and location.

Hubert & Emily
Amber and I had a wonderful time sitting for Emily and Hubert. They were great with communication and provided everything we needed to have a stress free and successful sit. Their fur babies, Shadow and Lola, were very friendly, snuggly, and fun to care for during our sit. Their home is literally one half block away from the new and hip Perry Street district with some great restaurants, juice/smoothie bar, coffee shops etc. You are also a short five to ten minute drive to everything else downtown Spokane offers. If you enjoy nature Spokane has a lot of it to explore too. We rented bikes and explored the centennial trail and also took a day trip with Shadow to some of the beautiful lake towns like Coeur d’alene and Sandpoint. We wish our sit was longer because we were having so much fun. We highly recommend this sit and we would happily return if asked.

Laura
This was one of the cutest, most beautiful sits we did. Laura (the host) is so warm, welcoming, and just lovely! 

Colette, the kitty stole our heart. She is a bit shy at first but soon warmed up and is honestly one of the most cuddly kitties we have come across. Super smart, playful, adventurous and cuddly, and super beautiful. 

The location is surrounded by beautiful mountains, really breathtaking beauty! You can go hiking every day, there are so many beautiful trails, if you love hiking you will have loads to do every day. This sit is perfect for sitters looking for a cheeky mountian, adventurous getaway. The cabin is also super warm, comfortable, and so cute! 

Even though this is the countryside and in the mountains you don't need a car, the town which is only about a 5 minute walk away, has everything you need and the nearest big town is about a 1.6 hour hike away. 

Thanks so much Laura, this was such a great experience. We loved every part of this adventure, and thank you for your warm kindness.

Kirsten
From start to finish it was an absolute delight looking after Feargal and Noodle for Kirsten and Sarah. Kirsten and Sarah were quick about the selection process, which is always helpful, and very pleasant to chat with beforehand. They had prepared an excellent welcome guide and also took the time to show us around before they left. Feargal and Noodle are both incredibly sweet and have very distinctive personalities - they're a lot of fun and very affectionate. The flat is lovely, with everything you need to stay comfortable. Worcester Park has a good selection of shops, and it's just a ten-minute walk to the train station. We would love to sit for Feargal and Noodle again - the whole family (feline and human) is super lovely!

Neil
Neil & Sally were very welcoming, their home is warm and cosy, situated in the middle of the New Forest, there are some superb walks nearby. Finchley and Ebony were a pleasure to look after, they are wonderful dogs and well behaved. Little Ebony was only a little puppy of 8 months old when we looked after him and very affectionate. Finchley was trying to teach Ebony what was required of a well-behaved dog! They were funny to watch as Ebony would take Finchley's big dog bed and leave Finchley to squeeze in or make do with the puppy's little bed! We'd have no hesitation recommending this housesit and would happily visit again. Christina & Adrian

Angeline
This sit was absolutely wonderful. Angie is so kind and easygoing, and really wants the sitter to be comfortable. And that’s not difficult, in her super beautiful, bright, clean and comfortable townhome with it’s gorgeous views of the mountains. 

And the cats!!! Mowglie is one of the coolest and most beautiful (and softest!) cats I’ve had the pleasure to be with. He’s very friendly, and really funny. Minkah is very shy, but beautiful and sweet, too. They have automatic food dispensers and a water fountain which makes maintenance easy. 

The sit was a joy. Thanks to Angie and Kenton, and the cats!
