Communication with Mary and Joel was easy from the start. Their reasons for wanting to house/pet sit were clear and appealing. As a retired professional couple they do this out of desire to travel well and get some puppy love since their last fur baby passed. We had a facetime call with them and knew they were the perfect fit for us for many reasons - one of which was they had several repeat sits. When they got to our house the first thing Joel did was sit on the floor to meet the pups!! This was very endearing! They arrived the night before we left to meet the dogs and get the lay of the land. Over dinner we learned that we had crossed paths professionally with each of them over the years. They asked great questions about the dogs care and we loved hearing about their upcoming travel plans. Mary wanted to know how we preferred they communicated with us while we were away so a clear expectation was set before we left. We got updates on the dogs walks and wellbeing each day each with Mary telling us how sweet the dogs were every time. We came home to a clean home, sheets and towels washed, trash taken out, etc. Mary left a note letting us know the last time they were fed and walked before they left. She also sent a photo of Parker lying in her packed suitcase...hmmmm..did she want to go home with Mary and Joel?? Obviously a sign she was a happy doggie! We recommend Mary & Joel to everyone!!

Cosmo and Delilah are two of the most affectionate dogs I’ve ever met. They love cuddles, follow you around the house with excitement, and are just so good-natured and loving. Rosemary was very friendly and accommodating, provided me with I needed for the sit, and made everything easy. The house itself is lovely, very spacious, all mods cons, and is in a fantastic central location, with all amenities close by. It genuinely made me happy to spend time with Cosmo and Delilah, and Freddie when he popped in to say hello. I very much missed their company in the days following the sit and hope to see them again sometime. Thank you, Rosemary!

Priscila and Luca
I recently had the pleasure of petsitting in Copenhagen, and cannot recommend it more! The two cats, Zibi and Clementina, were not only incredibly friendly but also very well-behaved. Zibi is more relaxed and often prefers to lay down and chill on funny spots in the apartment (sometimes you can find him relaxing in the bathroom sink 🤭), while Clementine's playfulness brings endless entertaining if you want to play.

Prescila and Luca were exceptionally welcoming and friendly, making me feel at ease from the moment I arrived. Their communication was excellent, both before and during the stay, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable time in Copenhagen. They were also kind enough to provide special recommendations about restaurants and bakeries in the city that I loved.

The apartment has very convenient location, close to a subway station and there’s also supermarket within walking distance. Overall, it was a fantastic petsitting experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Copenhagen with two lovely cats!!

Stella
A great pet sit! Smokey, Emma, and Lily are affectionate, accepting, and easy pups to care for. Smokey, the husky, is a gentle giant. Lily, the chihuahua, and Emma, the pomeranian, are tiny but have no trouble keeping up with Smokey. The two little ones love to snuggle and sleep in bed with you. All three pups get along well together and love spending time with you and going for walks. There is a lovely park nearby for taking walks. They also enjoy spending time out on the patio and being brushed, and of course their treats.

Stella’s house is very comfortable. The bed is amazing. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals and enjoy a cup of coffee each morning. Stella was  very welcoming and kind. We appreciated her generosity so much.

Her home is located in a quiet and safe neighborhood. Red Rock Canyon and downtown Las Vegas are both about 30 minutes away.

We highly recommend this sit. You will enjoy the pups and have the opportunity to explore what Las Vegas has to offer.

We had an amazing two weeks in Montréal, surrounded by love from THE BEST DUO ever. Grozny does look big but his size is equivalent to how loving, playful and obedient he is - he's the greatest company you could ask for. He waited patiently for his food and always came when called. He was always by our side, and we adored playing with him and spending time together. 

Boris is equally loving and surprised us by being the first cat we’ve met who comes when called. We absolutely loved that! Both enjoyed cuddling a lot, and so did we. 🥰

The house was comfortable, had all the amenities we needed, and was in a great location with a parking spot right in the front and walking distance to a bus station.

Thank you for trusting us to take care of your fur babies and your home, Luis and Monse! We already miss Grozny and Boris and highly recommend this house sit to anyone! 🐶🐱

We had such a pleasant time with Mia, Winton and Gus. They were so sweet and Gus was my lap buddy. When also enjoyed the 2 chickens. The were so friendly and let me pet them whenever I wanted. It was fun getting up to check to see how many eggs they laid. We enjoyed our time in Madison also. Plenty to do and see. Allison was on top of any questions we had. Never had to wait for a response.

Ronni
This was a great sit! The location was very new to me and very enjoyable - very close to Saguaro National Park which is beautiful. Ronni is extremely organized; she provided  me with a notebook filled with all the information I would need to take care of her house and her dog. Also, the house is extremely organized and clean, making it was so comfortable to live there. Her dog, Dominga, is a sweetheart. She does take some time to warm up and she is not a cuddler, but she did start following me around and asking for pets. She is very calm and well mannered and easy to care for. I would be happy to sit for Ronni again!
