Kevin and Tracy cared for our home and animals for three weeks. They came to our home beforehand to get to know our pets and to learn a little about the running of our property. From the start, we were impressed with their friendly and caring manner and we had a lovely morning showing them around. They asked questions and were genuinely engaged in finding out about our home. On the morning of our departure Kevin and Tracy arrived in time to discuss any last minute details. While we were away we were very impressed with the communication, receiving updates and photos nearly every day with lots of amusing anecdotes about the daily goings on between our pets and around the house . We were able to relax and enjoy our holiday knowing our home and animals were receiving the best of care. Upon arriving home we found all jobs done, everything clean and tidy and the animals happy and content. We would absolutely recommend Tracy and Kevin as house sitters and we hope to be lucky enough to have them return during our next time away.
Patty was communicative from her application through the entire sit. She self-sufficient but also reached out as needed, sent photos of our kitty, and was really reliable. We did an introduction by phone but with our flight times we didn't meet in person - she left our home better than when we departed and our kitty was clearly relaxed and happy after having her as a sitter! 10/10 recommend her as a sitter.
