Shawn and Jennifer were the perfect pet sitters! We could not have wished for better people to look after Salt and Pepa! Not only were they meticulous in keeping up the cat`s routines, nurturing S&P`s idiosyncracies, and keeping them clean, fed, and happy in general, but they went above and beyond finding out what else they could want or need in a truly empathetic way. Shawn and Jen taught them new tricks, played with them often, stayed in with them most of the time and observed them and their characters so well, that it seemed after only a few days like they have known - and loved! - the cats for some time. Before we knew these sympathetic brilliant sitters with heart, brains, and instinct we were nervous about leaving our not even 2 year old cats with strangers for more than a month, especially since Salt can be a fragile soul who is very shy and needs a lot of time to bond with people if she does it at all. Not with these two people. They know how to handle cats professionally. Instead of overwhelming them, Shawn is present and offers them attention and playtime. We were able to fully enjoy our time away from home since they were communicating extremely well and in the frequency we agreed on. So we got pictures or videos of S&P every day and reports. The reports as well as the pics showed us that S&P had an extremely good time, and that after only a few days they behaved completely "normal", i.e. we recognized "our" cats from the way that Jen described them and photographed them. Shawn and Jen are both extremely reliable, down-to-earth and self-sufficient. IF there would have been an emergency, we could not have asked for better guardians. The welfare of the cats was always their first concern. What more can we say but that they are also very friendly, humorous, calm and intelligent human beings. When we came home S&P were like: "Oh.. you..? Ok.. But were are the other two?" In our living room was a carefully arranged series of printed out photographs by Jen the excellent photographer. We are so very thankful to Shawn and Jen that they agreed to look after our kitties - and our home, which they also did without fail - and we are truly happy to have made their acquaintance. Hopefully, we will meet again!

Looking after Wallace Winston and Toad was a delight.
All three are loving ,affectionate and very gentle ...and easily cared for .
They love attention and company so wherever you happen to be they will be!!... be prepared to give and recieve lots of snuggles!
Toad has a cat collar which you need to ensure is on when he is outside ,but he is very happy to have it put on so that is no trouble at all. Wallace and Winston love their walks and play but Winston in particular does not have an off switch and can over do the play if not stopped. for a 'breather'.
Of course the area is spectacular with amazing views across the southern bay past Santa Monica and the house lovely to live in.
Dennis was very easy going, generous  and great to communicate with .
It was an absolute pleasure doing this sit.

It was really pleasure stay in Palo Alto in cozy house with great companion - poodle Fey. We wanted to try poodle on our own skin before we buy one. And we fall in love with Fey. She is such a nice dog, she is a lady at home, you barely know about her but outside she was so funny and playful. Ideal combo. Fey is good traveler so we can take her anywhere. We enjoy nice time together. Thank you, Eva, for opportunity. We are grateful for it.

We looked after Kerry & Andrew's lovely home and beautiful dogs for a month in December/January and again in March when they headed off to South America and Japan. Kerry and Andrew made us feel very welcome, even preparing a meal for us the night before they left, and were great at staying in touch whilst they were away. They live in a gorgeous home in a small village with nice walks straight from the house. John loved spending time in their fully equipped home gym and we had SUCH an incredible time with Rufus and Hank - they are wonderful dogs, full of love and affection and we were sad to say goodbye! They are very easy to walk and have a straightforward routine. We wouldn't hesitate to return if we are available.

Very beautiful house (I loved the wallpaper))), quiet neighbourhood, nice forest walks, easy communication, but the real stars are the cats! Funny, smart, well-behaved and cuddle-loving, so this was the easiest sit I’ve ever had!

I had a great time at this sit! Ashley was very communicative and the pups were super sweet. The location is just a quick drive from the downtown area so it’s perfect for anyone looking to explore Nashville!
