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!

Cathryn and Robert were really great. Both they and I were fairly new to this process, but I think overall it shook out well. They came out to see the house and meet all my pets (four cats and a senior large dog - one cat with meds/special feeding routine and the dog had meds), which was really nice to have as a newbie to this. There were a few misunderstandings/miscommunications on both sides, but after talking to Cathryn after the sit, we figured it out (part of it was because it was a split-sit and the prior sitter did some things that affected how well Cathryn and Robert could do their sit). I was really glad to have her feedback for me as well. She sent pictures, told me how things were going, and reassured a nervous pet mom! Overall, I could really tell that they enjoyed, liked, and cared for my animals and took good care of them. My only feedback would be to ask questions if you can't find something or if you need something. I would feel confident booking them again, 100%.

Gretchen was a wonderful sitter, from our initial chat on the phone to her calm energy when meeting our rambunctious dogs. She was very self-sufficient and tidy and sent cute photos of the boys while we were away. Thank you Gretchen!

Amelie, Kate, and Averie are THE BEST.  I would have them back every time if I could.  From the moment they arrived, I knew I would not have to worry about my doggies one bit!  And boy was I right.  They were great with communication, photos, and stories.  Averie was the icing on the cake.  I swear, when I came home, my dogs kept looking at the door....I'm sure they were wondering why I didn't just keep Averie because she is now an official member of our pack.  All of you are, my friends!  Please please come back this way.  (Can't you do more stars than 5??)
