Miriam and her partner are welcome back anytime. They were excellent stewards of our home and little dog. Three weeks is a long time and unexpected things can and usually do happen. Miriam was prompt, calm and even a little humorous in letting us know what was happening on the home front. For instance, though our neighborhood is quiet and friendly, wouldn't you know that in the first week a minor traffic accident occurred right outside our house. No one was hurt, our property was not damaged, only a downed street sign. Later, a cluster of electric outlets stopped working in the kitchen and Miriam did all the reasonable things to figure out the problem to no avail. Fortunately plenty of other outlets were available to use. We had a bit of a heat wave with no rain and Miriam and I communicated about extra watering for which I was grateful. As a former homeowner, Miriam was familiar with the things that can come up and deals with them in a straight forward logical manner with no drama. It was so nice to come back to a home that felt lived in-in a good way! Clean and tidy, plants upright and smiling, no stuffy vacant house smell, and a puppy who was enthusiastic about seeing us but not in that post-kennel desperate way. Miriam is a wonderful communicator. We agreed on a check-in about every 4 days and sure enough she would send a brief text and a couple of photos of things she knew we would be interested in: proof that the fig tree was sprouting leaves, the columbine was blooming and the dog was having a great time on walks and riding in the car with her nose out the window. When Miriam inquired about our home she had a couple of needs: high speed internet and an outlet to charge an electric car. No problem on our end and we appreciated that she made clear right up front what her requirements were. She gets my highest rating. Your home and pet are in very competent and respectful hands with Miriam.

Nalah had a wonderful stay with Zachary. We had solid communication around logistics and how much to stay in touch during the sit. It was helpful and easeful having a sitter who has used TH for his own cats.

Short but such a sweet sit. Mitzie is adorable and one of the gentlest cats I have ever met! We only spent two days together but had a lovely time. It was fun to play and watch her chirping back at birds. Or enjoy belly rubs on her little mat. 😄

Dorothy’s home is lovely, comfortable and sparkling clean. She was super welcoming and accommodating for my arrival/departure, and very responsive if I had any questions while she was away. The welcome guide was perfectly detailed and super clear - so much appreciated. Thanks again for trusting me with Mitzie ❤️

I thoroughly enjoyed my petsit in Bristol with Sidney and his three feline companions. Comfortable, immaculate and cozy home in a nice neighbourhood with easy access to parks, shops and cafes.

This was a very nice sit for the long weekend. Rob was very communicative and welcoming, and the house was quiet and peaceful. Josey and Abby were also very easy to take care of - they love attention, pets, and playing in the backyard. Thanks again!
