Kim was a great house/pet sitter.  She asked questions before she came.  She was on time when she arrived.  She let us know how the dogs were doing, sent a picture also.  She let us know that she had fed the dogs and what they still needed when we got home. The house was neat, and she had vacuumed all the dog hair up before we got home, which is a job since my dogs shed a lot.   I would definitely have Kim come and sit again.

Thora is an incredibly sweet cat, especially considering what she's had to deal with lately. I gave her medications multiple times a day and she was so cooperative. She is very independent, loves being out in the garden, but can also be affectionate and playful. I loved taking care of her. Emma and Michael left very thorough instructions and we're available for any questions I had during the week. Their home is welcoming and comfortable and I loved walking along the beach every day. I would happily sit for Thora again.

I had a great time in Claudia and Faysal's beautiful apartment and in the company of the five beautiful furries! The only problem was that I wanted to bring them all home with me when I left :-) I was welcomed warmly and introduced to the cats, shown the routine and what has to be done, everything was written down as well in easy to follow instructions. Claudia and Faysal answered all my questions and were available throughout their absence, only a phone call or a text away. 
A wonderful place to house- and pet-sit!

I had a wonderful three weeks in Brookline taking care of Schrody and Theo. They are the sweetest cats and really easy to care for. Schrody warms up right away and Theo took several days. I miss them already. 

Lydia and Harini were excellent hosts. They made communication a breeze, sent a thorough welcome guide, and even left me thoughtful post it note instructions around the apartment. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and in an awesome location. 

I highly recommend this housesit and would come back again in a heartbeat.

I had a great stay at Seb's beautiful villa. While there were a few minor issues that one should expect when traveling to the tropics, Seb was quick to respond and active in getting the situation remedied. The view and wildlife present made it hard to leave the grounds.

The dogs were quick to warm up to a new person in the house and were a source of constant joy and amusement. They are also easy to care for and the perfect combination of independent and affectionate.

Overall, this was an excellent experience, and I would happily return for another stay.

We had a great time in Bragg Creek! Gord is a total sweetheart, and his goofy personality had us laughing the whole time. He was very well behaved both walking and just hanging out in the yard.

Charity's home is wonderful and surrounded by natural beauty. We saw deer and other wildlife multiple times every day! We stayed in a private guest room with our own bathroom, and loved hanging out in all of the wonderful outdoor spaces around the house. It's hard to beat a quiet night in the hot tub on the back deck!

There is a cute downtown area with some great restaurants just up the road, but we most enjoyed hanging out with Gord and enjoying the serenity. Charity's whole family was warm and welcoming, and we were delighted to find simple and clear instructions on how to take care of everything. Many thanks to everyone for a fantastic experience!

Pet sitting for the 3 furry babies, Maggie, Stanley and Muffin was a joy.  And not to exclude the neat pond with 9 ducklings that will let the sitter know, where’s our grubs around 7am feeding time.

Muffin is a very COOL looking cat because of her exotic eyes and the almost complete triangular markings around the nose area.  Her stare/gaze can be hypnotic so be prepared to be mesmerized.  Super finicky when come to her meals; avoid liver & kidney ingredients or be ready to hold her like a baby before she’ll eat. :0)

Maggie is a little darling, always wanting to know, when’s the next meal and are very playful but do keep her younger taller brother Stanley
in check when he’s a bit too rough.

Stanley is a very CARING dog with gentle eyes.  When playing fetch in the yard, Maggie would jump up and down and bark at him is because she can’t run fast enough to fetch the ball like Stanley.  As the result, Stanley would stop fetching to appease his older petite sister Maggie as if he’s saying, we can do something else OK sis.

An interesting part of pet sitting when there’s a mixed of
feline & canine in the same house are the dynamics and interactions between them.

Muffin the cat would allowed Stanley to lick her right ear, top of the head and upper neck; when Muffin had enough, she would gently pawed Stanley but Maggie sees the pawing as a sign of aggression toward her younger brother and would then jump up and down and bark at Muffin.  I laugh
inside every time  that happens.

During feeding time for Muffin, while holding her, she would look at me (the sitter) as if saying, not liver & kidney again, look at the bowl to eat grudgingly and then look down at Maggie as if she taunting, I’m eating and you ain’t.  That would go on every meals while feeding Muffin.  If that is not HILARIOUS, I don’t know what is. :0)

As for the home & pet sitting location, it is in beautiful scenic Portola Valley (reminds me of Pebble Beach area) with lots of trails but highly recommend y’all wearing a good hiking shoes/boots and not skateboarding Vans during the rainy season, or be ready to slip and slide
and then 9.8m/s2 GRAVITY working on you. ;0)

Sylvia & Andrew has a beautiful home, populated with lots of family memories 
from several generations to give that EXTRA Home Sweet Home feelings and that was quite evident during my first visit (meet & greet) months before the sit.  

Also the wonderful dinner prepared by chef Andrew and the good engaging conversations with Sylvia, Andy and their brainiac daughter Christina on the first day.  Beautiful home with
friendly and exceptional hosts.  

If you are looking for a beautiful, serene, scenic and darling pets to care for and to be entertained by the furry babies at the same time, apply for the sit already!!
