Sheila
We were extremely lucky to be invited to Sheila’s beautiful home for Christmas. We only had Jasper and the chickens to look after as the doggies had gone on holiday with Sheila. Jasper is the most loving and affectionate cat we have ever looked after, our daughter fell in love with him. The cottage was cosy and comfortable and had everything we wanted to have an amazing Christmas.

Love Sue, as easy a dog to care for as there is. Luxury building, very well located only a crosstown block and a bit from the  U street Metro station. Dog run in the building makes walking Sue dead easy. Great sit!

We had the most wonderful week in lovely Roccasecca. This town is tucked away in the countryside in central Italy, within easy reach of both Rome and Naples, and well served by the train. The house is located just a few minutes’ drive outside of the town, a beautiful and peaceful location. 

Rebecca and Jim were warm, welcoming and kind. We immediately felt at home in the wonderful slice of paradise. Surrounded by fruit trees, olive groves and animals - what more could you want? 

We absolutely adored the dogs, Mushtie and Nevi, and enjoyed adventures through forests, olive groves and through the hills. They are affectionate, well behaved and very independent. They were the perfect hosts. 

Sterline the pony keeps to herself as she works very hard at her job - keeping the grass down in the olive grove. Other than filling her water bucket we didn’t have to do anything else for her, other than attempting to make friends!

We were even so lucky as to have the use of Rebecca and Jim’s friend’s car. This was fantastic as we could do little trips to the surroundings - and there are so many wonderful towns and beaches within reach. 

If you enjoy peace and tranquility, as well as a bit of adventure, please seek out the opportunity that this sit presents. You will not regret it. 

Thanks again Rebecca and Jim, we hope we will get the chance to sit for you again in the future!

Terri
Idaho is a fantastic mild tempered dog.  She’s very lovable and seriously only barked about 3 times in the week I spent with her.  She’s a powerful hiker and will pull you up a mountain.  She has some husky and will run is she’s off leash so beware.  Just keep her on a leash, enough said.  Idaho likes to wake up early for breakfast and her morning walk.  There’s no sleeping when Idaho is ready so just go with it and enjoy the beautiful Salt Lake Morning walk.  Terri is an awesome human and stocked the fridge with some fabulous craft beers for my stay and treated me to an evening of great live music on the first night.  The house is in one of the best neighborhoods in SLC and very walkable for groceries, restaurants and craft breweries.  If your schedule works, apply for this one, AWESOME all around.

Irene and Caleb were wonderful hosts and Keecha was a lovely companion during my stay. 
Irene and Cale are great at communication, always helpful and easy to talk to. They gave me a lot of tips and even maps on what to do in Cambridge. Their instructions were clear and the welcome guide has all the information you might need. 
Keecha is a sweetheart. She is a very lovely and social cat. She is very well-behaved. On the first night, she was a little shy but warmed up to me quickly. I enjoyed taking care of her. 
I would definitely love to sit for them again!
