Rachel stayed at our house for 6 weeks and took fantastic care of our two somewhat-needy cats as well as our house and yard! The experience was entirely positive, and we would not hesitate for an instant to have her back for another sit!! We confirmed Rachel as a long-term sitter for our two old men (cats) after reading her profile and reviews, and then having a Zoom meeting. She has the perfect combination of good humor, “laidbackness”, and seriousness when it came to caring for the cats. She was able to laugh at their weirdness (and they ARE weird), take mishaps in stride (litter box misses, etc.), provide their daily medications on schedule, and ask appropriate questions when things seemed a little off or she identified concerns. She has a presence that put us at ease immediately upon arrival, and the cats took to her very quickly. She asked us how often we would like updates, and how would we like them delivered, and then she provided them without fail at least as often as requested. We arrived home relaxed because we never worried about how things were going at home, and were happy to arrive to two healthy, happy cats, a well-kept yard, and a spotless(!!) house. As we said before, we would be thrilled to have Rachel sit for us again any time in the future, and we’re quite sure that Petey and Bucky would be excited to have her back as well!

Arlene
This house sit was such an amazing experience. Arlene and Tom were great with communication both leading up to the sit and during. Their home is beautiful, comfortable and well equipped for cooking! They also are in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood walking distance to the small town of Lyons. 

They provided a detailed home manual that gave instructions on everything from appliances, local things to do, and of course all needed info for their sweet Abbey Gayle. 

I've never connected with an animal on this level, but Abbey Gayle is so sweet and well tempered (and smart!) that it was easy to enjoy every moment with her. It was sad when it came time to leave because she has such a piece of my heart now. 

I would love to sit for them again in the future, and I highly recommend this sit!

Thank you so much Mark and Sophia, Duke and Charlotte for a lovely week at your beautiful home! 

I so appreciated meeting everyone the night before the sit, the incredibly helpful Welcome Guide, the thoughtful gift of local coffee and chocolates and all the terrific, fun communication throughout my stay.  

Duke and Charlotte are sweet, energetic, loving dogs  - such little characters who welcomed me into their world happily from the moment I arrived.  Charlotte can barely contain her excitement about food, toys, walks, treats... life!  She is a ray of sunshine and a little cuddle bug ready to snuggle into your lap.    Duke is such a sweetie, quieter than Charlotte but equally enthusiastic for attention, walks, play time and treats.  They played together like squabbling siblings when they weren't following me around the house or cuddled up together in their living room bed.  It was sad to say goodbye to them when I left.

Mark and Sophia's house is beautiful and spotless with everything you need to enjoy your stay, cook meals, and walk the dogs in the park across the street.  Their Northwest Crossing neighborhood is new, beautiful and well located for accessing all Bend has to offer.  I skied, hiked and went snowshoeing during my March visit in addition to daily walks with the dogs.  

This was a five star house/pet sit and I'd welcome an opportunity to stay with Duke and Charlotte again!
