When we met Orion for the first time, we liked that they were genuinely eager and excited to spend time with our cats. When they came by the house to pick up the key, we showed them around, gave additional instructions, and asked them several times if they had any questions or needed to know about anything else. They confirmed they were fine. However, upon our return, we discovered that some of our instructions were not followed. We told them that we preferred the cats to only go out once a day and that they needed to be back in before sunset because of the coyotes. There is a cat door that has different settings to let them in/out, out only, in only. They left the cat door in/out which was noticeable upon our return because we came home at 8pm and both cats were still outside. In terms of tidiness, we think they did a decent job with cleaning up after themselves, but we were a bit taken aback seeing leftover food in the fridge and having to take out their trash. They also left something at our place, which they later picked up. In terms of communication, we think it was a little bit difficult. There were a few times we asked them a question or stated a preference, and they would not respond or answer our question. It made us confused, like perhaps we miscommunicated or they misunderstood us, but we would not receive an answer. Overall, though, Orion genuinely seemed to enjoy the company of our cats, and for this we appreciate. On the other hand, we’ve learned that we will need to outline all of our expectations in written form for future house sitters and make sure that the sitters understand and agree to them because we didn't feel understood during this house sit.

Diana
Diana is an absolute gem and so easy and quick with communications.  Cherry bean and Sushi are the best cats, so friendly and easy.  They love attention but don’t mind sleeping in if you do ( I do!).  A lovely sit

Janis
Janis is such a sweet person and was super welcoming. She made sure I felt right at home and even took time out to show me around the apartment and have a cup of tea with me.

Waffles is the boisterous one of the two but so sweet. He will want to sleep with you and cuddle up in the morning. 

Sweet peas is mostly calm and keeps to her own except for some occasional cuddle. Overall amazing sit and amazingly well located about 15 minutes from geneva gare

Lovely people and lovely dogs.  Although they are large dogs they are very gentle and easy to care for . I would say an easy sit   Beautiful Home and easy to care for. Lots to see in the area and we can’t wait to go back. Very organised people who provided a very comprehensive guide to the property as well as the dogs. Anyone thinking of applying for this sit do so don’t let the size of the dogs put you off , they are gentle giants, who will love you in return for their care.

Amy Rose
It was an absolute joy to petsit for Amy and Eric. They were very kind and communicative about any questions you may have regarding the pets, their gorgeous home and the neighborhood. Just all around great and fun people. They allowed me to come over and meet the pets before the sit which was really helpful. It really allowed Ein to get to know me more and have an easy transition with me being temporary dog mom. Ein is such a sweet girl who loves belly rubs and to play chase. Once she gets to know you she gets very loyal and protective of you. Fuu is more independent but if you give her space and let her come to you, she will sit in your lap and purr quite a bit! 

Rockaway really is a little slice of heaven in NYC. It was such a blessing to be able to experience it during the summer. It was like a mini vacation. The beach is close by and the bay is even closer. It's a beautiful place to watch the sunset and see some wildlife. The locals are some of the friendliest New Yorkers I've ever met. I highly recommend this sit and I hope I get to do it again one day. Thanks again Amy, Eric, Ein and Fuu! ^_^

We had such a great time caring for Cocoa and Athena!  They have sweet, loving personalities and are obviously well loved by their family.  They are crate trained and very easy going, so they will stay home alone for several hours or more -- but why would you leave them behind when you could have adventures together?!  They are good in the car so we took them to lots of different parks along Lake Washington as well as on the Ferry to Whidbey Island.  They also love to snuggle on the couch while you read or watch TV.  Or they have a great tie out in the back where you can relax by the beautiful waterfall.  The house was very comfortable and we had everything we needed.  Great location by the Kirkland trail, downtown bus, highways and shopping.  Lots to do in the area without making the trek downtown -- art, music, plays etc.
Highly recommend this sit!
