If you're reading this review, it's probably because Graciela and Nicholas have applied to stay at your home. If you learn nothing else from this review, please understand that you should choose them, no questions asked. We spoke with Graciela and Nicholas about watching our home, and more importantly our senior dog, Rizzo, a few months before a weekend trip out of town. We were initially impressed by their questions and how easy it was to arrange a Zoom meeting to get to know them. Unfortunately for us, Rizzo started having seizures about two weeks before their stay and was diagnosed with a brain tumor the very week they were going to stay and watch him. The diagnosis complicated Rizzo's care and added several steps to his day, including us learning how to administer anti-seizure medication nasally. We advised Graciela and Nicholas about the new issues and offered to cancel our trip and make other arrangements given our new situation, and we were prepared to pull the plug on our trip. Rather than back out, Graciela and Nicholas went above and beyond to help out, and they've been the best experience we've had on this website. They agreed to a Zoom call before the stay for the specific purpose of learning how to administer the new anti-seizure medications. They sent us lots of updates on Rizzo, which we much appreciated. They left our home cleaner than they found it. Needless to say, we knew we were in great hands the entire time we were out of town, which we much appreciated given the recent news about our dog. We really can't thank them enough for giving us the peace of mind we needed to make our out-of-town trip. So, to sum it up: they were perfect housesitters, and we couldn't have asked for anything more. If you've read this far and are considering choosing them for your housesit, do so without hesitation. Thank you SO MUCH again, Graciela and Nicholas!

MaLou
Pleasantly organized house, perfectly clean with a mix of classic design and modern devices. The garbage bin opens when you get near and closes softly with an oddly disappointed air if you don't have anything to throw in it.  The dogs were friendly and easily manageable and there's a big fenced yard for them to run in so that was nice.    Malou was easy to communicate with, responsive via text and there wasn't the slightest bit of trouble. I had a simple, comfortable & quiet weekend, and that's just what I wanted.

An outstanding sit that felt like a 5-star vacation with the best dog you could ever meet!
THE HOSTS
Hedy & Irv were very warm and friendly from the first call and upon meeting them we felt at home instantly.  We arrived the night before the sit began and they invited us to join them for dinner out, giving us lots of recommended activities.
You can’t ask for nicer, more relaxed hosts.   We hope to see them again.
HOUSE & NEIGHBOURHOOD
The home is beautiful, private, spacious, and equipped with everything inside and out.   The backyard is a serene outdoor oasis day or night, with a hot tub, bbq, fire table, pool, amazing desert and mountain views as well as sun (and moon) rises and sunsets.   Pictures don’t do it justice.  
The neighbourhood is friendly with lots of wonderful cactus.  The streets are quiet with lots of side trails to vary walking routes.   The location is tucked away from busy areas but still convenient to groceries and other retail amenities.   It’s also very close to great hiking areas and spectacular scenery.
TUCSON & AREA
We enjoyed Tucson for its slower pace and feel.   Getting around was easy, never seemed to be much traffic.   Lots of dine out options (we recommend La Chaiteria for Mexican food).    We strolled down 4th Avenue to get a taste of the downtown area.  We visited Picacho Peak during a spectacular flower bloom.    Much more to do and see, so we would love to return.
RILEY (the highlight!)
Riley is a gem and very well-trained dog.  He practically looks after you, providing excellent company and “telling” you what you need to do.   His care and routine are a breeze. He LOVES his walks and relaxing in the yard, keeping watch for critters off in the distance.  He is a pleasure to walk and doesn’t make a fuss when other dogs make a fuss about him.  He’s totally fine when you step out for a few hours.  We have to agree with another sitter’s comment -  “he is almost human, you can see it in his eyes!”   We miss him!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
We had a magical time and feel very fortunate to have done this sit.   It far exceeded our expectations, and we can’t recommend strongly enough.

Jane
We loved sitting for Fudge and the chickens over this past weekend. Fudge is the cutest little thing - she loves to be close to you and gives the best lap cuddles. Janes home is in a beautiful part of Surrey and we felt very welcome by both Jane and Andre. Very easy to communicate with and were always available to answer any questions. We would certainly sit for them again.

This housesit was a last minute quick 2 night stay, so we didn't get the chance to meet Caroline and Drew face to face, but had a WhatsApp call to tee up all the plans.
The area is terrific, we loved wandering around Arundel and took the dogs to Little Hampton Beach. and into the woods. They were so well behaved and excellent off the lead.
Although it was a short sit we had a great time with the pups and would happily return. 
Thanks guys for sharing your home and Pups with us.

Sally
Beautiful home with 2 gorgeous, ginger boys.
We had a lovely sit.

One small negative was Sally's adult son was home for a few days at the start  of the sit.  Not a huge problem as the home is very large.  We would prefer to know this before arrival as we may have chosen to arrive later.

Other than that, a lovely sit in a great location.

Lonna
Lovely sit with two bouncy rambunctious characters, Diva and Gordie, in a beautiful old Cape home with sunny mornings on the porch, brisk walks to the windy winter beach with energetic dogs, and warm evenings in the comfy living room!  Lonna is a great host, leaving us detailed instructions and being so helpful and accommodating with our Thanksgiving plans.  The enormous baby Gordie thinks he is a lapdog and Diva thinks she is a wild fox!  Sweet dogs.
