Shannon
From start to finish this house sit was a dream. Shannon and Aaron were easy to communicate with both before and during the house sit. They laid out the information very clearly which made looking after the gorgeous Bentley a doddle. 
The apartment is amazing as are the facilities, we felt so lucky to be staying and with such lovely and welcoming hosts. Bentley is a very loving dog who was so easy to care for and fun to play and walk. The apartment is in an area easy to get to the main sites. Right next to a lovely park (where we enjoyed roller skating into the city from). We really enjoyed our time here!

Rosie is the sweetest pup. I completely fell in love with her. Once she realized I was there to take care of her, if was puppy kisses all day every day. Lori and her family have a beautiful home and are nice and kind.

Anne
House sitting for Mark and Anne is a little like winning the lottery. As a housesitter Anne makes it exceptionally easy for you because everything is extraordinarily well organized, documented, and labeled. Everything you need is right there, easy to find. They are good, kind intelligent, highly responsive and responsible people, and cared about me in ways that were completely beyond the call of duty.

The house is gorgeous. Everything works, is immaculate and hypoallergenic. There is a lot of natural light and good internal lighting and is aesthetically very pleasing with original artwork in every room.

The succulent garden outside is a wonderland. It’s like a living breathing artwork/meditation. There are two fishponds each with its own water feature. Not only is it exquisitely beautiful but it is also incredibly peaceful. It’s easy for the buzz of the mind to just drop away and breathe in the beauty, peace. The jacuzzi was the cleanest I have ever seen- and they don’t use chlorine.  I kept thinking I was in a magic place and wouldn’t have been at all surprised to find fairies and angelic beings pop out wherever direction I looked. 

Part of the bounty that comes with house sitting for Mark and Anne is the neighborhood. It is very settled and I felt very safe. People know each other, are friendly, and happy to talk. No doubt it helped that Anne sent out an email before I arrived so neighbors knew I was coming. Even still I was surprised how welcomed I felt. 

Saving the best for last is Mickey their dog who is an absolute sweetheart. He is gentle and lovable and easy to look after. He loves affection and enjoys his walks, even though it can take a little encouragement at first to get him moving. But when he gets going he can walk for a long while. He loves adventures. I was overjoyed seeing how much fun he had when I took him to Dog Beach! But beware- a trip to the beach means that it is bathtime! He was so dirty afterwards. But nothing a little bit of shampoo and water couldn’t fix. 

House Sitting for Mark and Anne and taking care of Mickey is very conducive and nourishing. Ideal for doing retreat.

Jillian
Had a fabulous first sit using trusted house sitters thanks to Jill and Badger. Jill has a wonderful beach front house with a big garden - where Badger likes to spend most of his time. There are countless walkies options including: beach front, local parks and the sea wall. Badger is a quiet boy but very happy to sit at your feet in the evenings. Had a great time exploring Mersea with Badger. Would happily sit again!

Gauri
This was a perfect sit for us.  Zoey and Beazly have the sweetest temperaments.  Zoey wags her tail non stop and just wants LOVE.  Beazly is such a good boy and loves on his sister.  Walking them together was quite easy.  The neighborhood was absolutely beautiful.   We could have walked and admired the beautiful homes for hours.  Grocery and restaurants close by.  Everyone was friendly.  

Gauri and Vikram have created a beautiful home for their family and the guest suite was generous and comfortable.   The entire home was clean with lovely finishes.  Communication throughout the stay was easy and clear.  They provided clear written instructions for the pets care and schedule which left no doubts about what to do and where to find it.  

If you have the opportunity for this sit,  don't hesitate.  It will surpass your expectations.   Two SWEET dogs in a beautiful home in a fabulous neighborhood for a lovely family.   10 🌟

Our housesit for Megan and Neil was such an enjoyable – and easy – sit.  Their home was comfortable, clean, and spacious with all we needed and more; and located in walking distance to grocery stores and the lovely historic McDonald neighborhood. They welcomed us warmly into their home, provided clear instructions on pet and home care, and were easy to communicate with before and during our sit. Their chocolate lab, Charlie, is about the sweetest dog we’ve met. She’s gentle, appreciated walks and play time, and was also content sleeping and chilling while we worked or did our own thing. She was hard to say goodbye to, but it helped to see how excited she was to greet her family upon their return! They also have chickens and have set up the coup with an automatic door, so really no effort required there. This was a great sit, and if the opportunity arises, we would absolutely sit for Megan and Neil again.
