Margot was excellent with our cats. She communicated lightly via text and sent pictures almost every day, which we asked for and were really appreciative of! She made us feel like she had our babies taken care of & handled. However, we were gone for about 10 days in the peak of Texas summer and I asked her to water our indoor and outdoor plants every day. Since she lives in Texas, I trusted that she wasn’t new to the Texan heat and understood that “every day” was really needed. Given the condition of our garden and the indoor plants that we came home to, it doesn’t look like they were watered once. When I reached out to ask about it, she wasn’t apologetic and said “I wasn’t sure how much to water them.” I take full responsibility for not following up every day or giving her the clarity she needed (since that was necessary) but her lack of communication as they were all clearly dying says that she was truly inattentive and careless. Had she reached out to clarify or be in contact at all in any way about them during her stay, it would have gone a long way but sadly, she didn’t. That broke my trust for a future sit and was really disappointing after we over accommodated her & additional members of her family last minute. If you’re looking for Margot to ONLY watch your pets, 5 stars! If you’re also looking for a trustable housesitter, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Ch'aska
We really enjoyed our weekend at Ch'aska's house with her cute cat Uchu and her lizard Topi. It is a comfortable home full of curiosities and Ch'aska took care of everything to make our stay a pleasant and enjoyable one. Her home is very well located in Denver with everything you need within walking distance....

Katie
Katie was so incredibly thoughtful and helpful throughout the entire process. We met virtually beforehand and immediately knew it was going to be a great sit.

And how do you begin to talk about Harold and Hamish? Such cuties. So relaxed. So playful. And such a joy to take care of throughout the day and night. Also the most adorable sleepers! Let's just say you'll find yourself taking far more photos of them than you ever imagined, and all of them will be the best. We loved taking care of these two doggies, and anyone would be lucky to spend time with them.

Kanna
Kanna and George gave us a warm welcome to their beautiful ocean view home and their elder pets, Trixie and Missy.  They were generous and kind and made us feel instantly at home.  They provided us with comprehensive information and set us up for success. 

It was a privilege to  care for Trixie and Missy and we felt fortunate to have had  time with them.  Wisdom comes with age, even with our pets and there were lessons learned. They were easy and delightful to care for and we miss them.  We hope to have another opportunity to sit with Trixie and Missy soon.

I really enjoyed my time there, the cats are very nice and it was really easy with them. Communication with the owner went very well, everything was perfect. The apartment is in a very good neighborhood, everything was close within the city. Everything was great.😊🐱🐱

Mary
Mary and David went out of their way to ensure my comfort for my entire stay. From the first meet-and-greet right until the end, Mary was extremely concerned I had everything I needed and felt at home. Their home is bright, spacious, clean, comfortable and had everything I needed (and their backyard is gorgeous!). The only thing that made it even better was Zorro the cat! He and I just got along. He was a delight to be around and I especially enjoyed our evenings spent in front of the fire.  All in all, I highly recommend staying here if you can! Thank you, Mary and David!

Allison
Loved the area as it was super walkable to everything. Loved Scout because she is such a cuddle bug and a great walking partner. Allison was great at communicating, and I overall had such a great time watching after Scout.
