Derek and Margaret
We enjoyed our first pet sitting experience in lovely Wheal House in Carbis Bay.  Clean and comfortable accommodation and Margaret and Derek had compiled a comprehensive dossier with everything we needed to know.  Ozzie is a treasure and was quite happy with his new carers (as long as you didn’t forget his odd “treat”!).  Izzy the cat was typically independent but reminded us when it was feed time.  Lovely walks on the beach and the countryside on the doorstep.  St Ives is a charming town with lots of interesting places to visit.  All in all, a lovely experience.

Lara
A dream house sit! 
Lara is a wonderful communicator & super thoughtful. Daisy & Wilson are adorable, loving & a dream to spend time with. 
I felt very lucky being able to spend a few days in Lara & Andrew’s gorgeous home, with Daisy & Wilson giving me plenty of cuddles.

This review is written for the sitters’ community. We feel it is important to be honest and professional in order to provide helpful information regardless of ratings. We have had numerous pet sits, each with their own challenges, but have always worked to provide the best care of pets and their homes in each situation. We have felt fortunate to meet so many kind and caring owners. However, in this case, we felt overwhelmed with unmanageable living conditions and care of a very sick pet.  This was not what was represented in the ad or online during our meeting, and we therefore had to make the difficult decision to cancel the sit after 24 hours of our best efforts.

Unfortunately, the dogs (both very sweet) had been allowed to pee in the house, so although we tried, no amount of cleaning or vacuuming could remove the smells

Sleeping was the next problem. We needed to keep the window wide open in order to have some fresh air, but our room was located right next to the road and the traffic noise was so loud that we simply could not sleep. 

There are too many issues to list including unreasonable house rules posted throughout the house such as how often the toilet could be used.

We could never have imagined taking such a drastic step but at some point you must consider yourself too. We regret the inconvenience we caused the homeowner and appreciated her agreement to return so that we could leave.

Deepa
“Animals are such agreeable friends. They ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.” 
— George Eliot

What an absolutely extraordinary experience staying in Deepa’s charming Croton-on-Hudson home. Deepa and Eric are exceedingly wonderful people, and awesomely accommodating.

The dogs, Lylah and Austin, do what dogs do best: love and frolic and cuddle. They are both so sweet and adorably affectionate. 

The cats — Olivia, Penny, Jack, Clive, Logan and Walter — fill the beautiful and sun-drenched home with character and charisma. Honestly the first two days following our sit at Deepa’s were kind of sad. Every room without a cat now seems a bit lonely to me.

We would be thrilled to come again!
If you snag a sit at Deepa's, consider yourself very lucky!

LYNN
The best of Minneapolis, right outside your front door! Lynn and Marc are generous and gracious owners. Communication was top-notch throughout. I was welcomed with a full tour of their beautiful home and a gift basket. I arrived one day early and had my choice of guest rooms. The location of this housesit cannot be beat. The neighborhood is highly walkable and bikeable. For example, I walked with Lucy and Beau to nearby Lake Harriet every day. It has two paved paths; one for bikes and one for people and pets, and you can rent canoes and kayaks there. Great views in every direction! Beau is young and can occasionally react to some dogs, but nothing crazy. He is a sweet dog, and for his young age, surprisingly mellow and extremely endearing. Lucy is older and goes with the flow on walks. She likes to seek out doggie treats that you can hide around the house to work her nose and mind. They are a great combo. I was especially impressed with how Lucy and Beau quickly settle in at outdoor patios when visiting coffee shops and restaurants. We also took a few road trips together. The dogs travel really well. I recommend this sit and would be happy to return at some point in the future.

Holly
Holly and her pets were really awesome. We really enjoyed our stay in Sunriver, and all her pets were a treat and easy to take care of. Juney was a bit shy at first, but quickly came around. Stella bonded with us the moment we got there. Communication with Holly was really clear and she was really flexible with us, which we really appreciated. The house was really clean and comfortable. We would definitely come and sit again!
