Nora was everything you could have asked for in a house sitter. She asked really thoughtful questions that made us feel like she cared. She read and re-read our house guide and made sure she fully understood her duties before we left. She even came by a day early to meet the cats and have lunch with us so we would feel comfortable with each other, which we appreciated. While we were gone, Nora sent us daily updates about the cats and our plants. She even would ask for advice on some of my plants to save them from dying in the summer heat. We also let her use my car which we felt comfortable leaving with her because we saw how careful she drove another house sitters car when she came the day before. She was willing to sign an agreement with us before hand, we had her covered on our insurance and she assured us she would only use it for the grocery store and places that were too far away. You could tell she took good care of the car and I think she even cleaned it! When we came home the house was so clean and well maintained. My plants were thriving and so were the cats! They were quiet and purring when we came home which was a sign that they were very happy. Nora is just a really good person to have in your home. You can tel she really loves animals and cares about your home and your animals well being. She even reconnected a dog she saw roaming around with their rightful owner. That is very telling of her personality. We highly recommend Nora and hope one day we can have her visit again!

Melissa was incredibly easy to work with when arranging the house/cat sitting. She made the extra effort to come visit and see our home and our cat before we left and asked good questions to make sure everything was understood. We came back to a home that was as clean or cleaner than when we left, and a happy cat. Melissa even went to the extra effort of leaving a wonderful home made meal with our produce that was about to expire. In short, Melissa was a great.

Our experience with Natalie and Rob was super. It was our first time using the site and was a short stay. We wanted to chose someone local. Natalie answered the request! Communication was great, which started with my request for a FaceTime call. She and I texted before the visit to ensure everything was on track and she let me know when they arrived and sent some pictures which was appreciated. If I hadn’t seen the pictures, I would not have even known that they were here because they were very diligent in cleaning up after themselves and their pup. She also sent a message when they were leaving with an update on the last walk/potty opportunity. I would recommend Natalie and Rob to others.
