We were thrilled to have Dan and Lana back for a second home/pet stay. Our first experience with them last year left quite an impression on us for so many reasons. They are incredibly attuned to our dogs' unique behaviors. Both are storied rescues. They have their antics and quirks and will push boundaries when given the opportunity. This second go round with our pups, Dan and Lana deepened their relationship with both. They strike a beautiful balance between being playful and working with each dog. As an example, Rupa often wakes up quite early and with unbridled exuberance. Dan and Lana find positive and effective ways to diffuse this energy so that all can move into the day more calmly. This same approach was used for meal time. They ask Freya to wait outside the kitchen as they prepare their meals. Rupa also waits for her food with less cattle dog drama! Dan and Lana are truly gifted when it comes to canine communication. Just as was true with their first stay with us, they shared dinner with us when we got home and relayed invaluable training tips as well as observations they made while walking the trails, playing fetch, etc. These are people we have complete trust in, making our travels completely worry free. They leave our home clean and well ordered making our return a breeze. Beyond their capacity to work with our dogs, they're wonderful people who we now consider friends. We feel honored and very fortuntate to have this relationship and will definitely call them back when next we travel.

Emma
Annemarie was a wonderful house sitter. Unfortunately our AC broke down a couple of days after we left, (just as temperatures were soaring!) and Annemarie managed the situation, contacted companies and continued caring for Lottie in difficult circumstances, for which we were very grateful. She kept in contact with us and sent updates on how Lottie was doing, and left our home immaculately clean and tidy. We would definitely recommend Annemarie to anyone looking for a caring, reliable house sitter. Thank you Annemarie!

Katelyn
Katelyn’s home is in a lovely location in a very family friendly, quiet and safe neighborhood. Her home was super cosy, clean and modern. Communication with Katelyn was great before and during the sit. 

Lou and Roo are very shy but very sweet cats and it was a pleasure to look after them. 

We very much enjoyed this sit and would definitely recommend. We would definitely return again in future if the opportunity ever arose! 😊

Hello, fellow sitters. I completed an overnight for this home. This is a military family who graciously welcomed me into their lovely home. Both dogs are rescues. Clear instructions about schedules, feeding, and potty breaks were provided. Both bogs know, and follow the schedule and are happy to go into the backyard, so walking is optional. Luna, the older dog, is laid back and very easy to care for. I believe Huk has just turned 2. He is loyal to his family, not neutered, highly energetic, and a work in progress, training wise. I am not a trainer. However, my many years of experience with dogs was put to the challenge while caring for Huk. I would recommend an open conversation with the family to learn more about Huk's development. They are open and clear communicators.

Nicky and Peter
Staying at Nichola and Peter's home with little Pushkin kitty was delightful. Pushkin indeed "rules the roost" and her demands mostly revolve around food and affection, which is very sweet. The house is comfortable and in a peaceful location, with wonderful views. There was even a deer one morning! Both Peter and Nichola were really friendly and helpful when going over cat and house duties, and easy to communicate with before and during the sit. I'd happy return!

You will really struggle to find nicer people than Angela and Jeff to sit for! They made us feel very welcome in their beautiful home from the moment we arrived. Their home has lots of natural light and is located in a beautiful part of Clonakilty, close to town but in a quiet, peaceful area with amazing views.

It was a pleasure caring for Zack who is an incredibly intelligent, gentle and loving dog. He was very easy to care for and we enjoyed being around him. He was a great companion.

Jeff and Angela were easy to communicate with and provided clear instructions before leaving.  They are kind, happy and easy going people. We would definitely sit for them again

We had a wonderful time in the appartment of Karin and Eduardo.It was comfortable and cosy.They have a phantastic terrace where you also can sit even on colder days because there is almost allday sun.We enjoyed the enormous big tv.screen and the fast fiberinternet.When you want to visit Madrid you can go by train from Coslada and with a bonocard for 10 rides(only 12,30) you will arrive in 20 minutes.They live in a nice neighbourhood.But the biggest threat were their very lovely pets.Alf likes to walk  and is very lovely to other dogs,and both their cats love to cuddle and stay around you.The communication with Karin goes very quickley and she gives you a good feeling about the things you do for them.We hope that more sitters will be so lucky to stay here. 
Karin and Eduardo thank you very much for this invitation.
Warm regards Corrie and Martin.

Also the place that they build is incredible, with a perfect contact with nature and a peaceful neighborhood.
What I have experienced there has been an unforgettable and very enriching experience.
Tibee, Tindee & Bella are very adorable dogs. Although there are also many animals to interact with in this nature paradise.
Great experience !!!
