Stacy
This has absolutely been a wonderful experience! I've enjoyed Stacy's enthusiastic communication. This was my longest housesit so far and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Most of the stay was without pets. However, the house is on a canal, and there is endless wildlife to watch from amazing birdlife to small mammals and so many protected deer... It takes all of 3 minutes to grab a life vest and launch a kayak from the dock. The canal is the focus with an array of windows and a sun room facing it. The ocean is about a 15 minutes walk away with miles of beach to explore. 
Ocean Shores is a resort community on a peninsula that is mostly forested to the Olympic Mountains to the north and visible on clear days. Therefore, it is unique in that there is oft possibility to see wildlife. A gateway to the Olympics is only an hour away at Lake Quinault.
With such a long stay, I made some lovely new friends.... Mostly dog lovers on the beach. It is possible to purchase all groceries and supplies in Ocean Shores. The drug store actually has a number of healthy choices as well and Aberdeen, the next larger town has larger grocery stores and a great health food store.  

Once the dogs arrived, I found each one cuddly and funny. We went on long forest walks each morning. They helped coach my morning exercises with encouraging kisses. I'm grateful to Stacy, her sweet dogs and lovely place.

Iris and Karel
Sitting for Iris an Karel ultimately feels like an investment in yourself. They take what could be an exchange of services and infuse it with kindness and thoughtful details. Their home and surrounding environment leave you walking away feeling nurtured and gifted with an opportunity for self care that’s often forgotten in the frenetic pace of today.

All of the details needed to be set up for success were outlined in a welcome guide and nuances were covered as we crossed paths prior to their departure.

Oliver, the feline of the family, was so fun to spend time with. He began each day strolling by my side and providing a morning debrief as I prepared his food. Once I decoded his petting preferences (no ears, simultaneous cupping on both sides of his face, long strokes from back of head to tip of tail) he melted in to a puddle of purrs. Evening brushing sessions were a favorite. Oliver would guide me to focused areas by leaning in with his face or rotating to offer up a side or spot.

Dr. Doolittle, brought me much joy. It was such a treat to care for a tortoise and be reminded of nuances of their movement and behavior that I’d forgotten about from my early years. 

I highly recommend this sit to any other trusted housesitters that may be considering.

Lisbeth
We had a lovely sit with Lucy and Suki. Lisbeth and Richard were also great hosts. Lucy was a very nice dog and very well behaved!

We would definitely recommend to any housesitters.

Sabrina Luize
We had a wonderful weekend with Emma, Jack, Mickey and Missy! They were so friendly, loveable and well behaved. Sabrina was amazing to communicate with and we were very comfortable in her home. It was so great to have the fields nearby to walk the dogs. We would be happy to stay again!

Emily
Emily and Luke were super friendly and easy to chat to from the off. It was lovely to meet them at the flat to give me a run through and meet the boys.

Wilbur and Ferris are so sweet and a dream to care for. Their routine is very simple and they are super affectionate characters.

Emily and Luke’s flat is beautiful and they made me feel very at home from the off. It's in a great location to explore the local area.

Thank you for a lovely stay, look forward to sitting for you and the boys again in the future.

Hillary
It was a pleasure to take care of Bea, Mowgli, and Binx! I didn't get to meet Hillary in person but we had a phone call, and later communicated via text. When I arrived, I had a bit of a hard time figuring out where pet food was, but Hillary promptly helped me via text.
Bea is super sweet, and loves cuddling; we went on short neighborhood walks (<= 20min) as she didn't seem to be interested in longer ones, but we did it frequently. Binx is young, and loves attention, and games. Mowgli liked to keep to himself but occasionally he would come to me, and allow me to pet him. He seems to like to visit the next door neighbor; the neighbor has a cat, too.
I enjoyed that Tiburon is safe to walk around and has great views of the Bay; I recommend checking out the Bay trail that starts near Blackie's Pasture park. Great stay, and I am already missing the animals!
