What a joy and an honor it was to have Phyllis and Jerry care for my home and my pets. I could write an epistle to describe in detail how much they did and how well they accomplished each responsibility. Our correspondence began many months ahead of my posted dates. Throughout this time, we stayed connected, and as we got closer, we shared more details about my home and care for the pets. Response time was prompt, friendly and courteous. They were incredibly flexible and understanding when I had to adjust my flight time and date. They arrived early on my departure day so we could have time for orientation, lunch, and conversation. Phyllis and Jerry were meticulous in following the instructions I left for cat and home care. They were dedicated to assuring me that things at home were going well by sending pictures of the cats included with special vignettes. They were respectful of my home and took great care of everything as if it were their own. For example, when the hose unexpectedly burst in the back yard on a hot day, they carried water in a bucket to my young Arbor Vitae trees. They are the kind of people who go the “extra mile” based on their high values and elevated work ethics. When I returned home, everything was glistening and spotless. The carpets had been vacuumed, the laundry completed, the dishwasher and waste baskets emptied, the stove shined, and the kitty litter was scooped and cleaned. My fur babies were happy and relaxed, an indication that they had excellent care while I was away. A delightful surprise was the colorful Autumn gift basket and note they left on the counter. I highly recommend Phyllis and Jerry in every way. They exceeded my expectations and fulfilled every task. They are friendly, enthusiastic, and fun to be around, and both have had a wide variety of experiences that translate into good common sense and wise decisions. It was truly my privilege to have the opportunity to meet them and to benefit from all they had to offer me, my home, and my cats.

Being able to housesit at Dave and Melinda's was such a treat! They provided a thorough welcome guide and were helpful to any questions I had. Loki is so special and very easy going. I'm so grateful that I got to spend a couple weeks in their home and with Loki. I would definitely come back :)

Oscar and Molly are the most loving cats I’ve ever met. Their home is cozy, clean and oh so cute too. I look forward to seeing them again!!

Susan
This is a great sit. Both kitties are super sweet. Susan’s bungalow is cozy and comfy and Susan is a fun person to sit for. If you step through Susan’s purple front gate you can see the hub of the Railyard arts district at the end of the street. Bonus: A stellar ice cream shop around the corner. Highly recommend!

A short but sweet housesit with Bandit. Amanda was so welcoming, and her communication and organisation were excellent from the beginning. She provided me with clear instructions, ensuring a comfortable and relaxed sit. The flat was in an amazing location, just minutes from Portobello Road! 
Bandit is such a friendly, relaxed dog who loves the company of humans. Whether it was going for walks or just lounging around, Bandit was a delight to be with and very well-behaved. I would gladly return in the future! Thank you, Amanda, for the opportunity to care for Bandit.

Had the best time in SF. Mary and Hakeem are super friendly and very communicative. The loft is absolutely stunning and the dogs are the sweetest two cuddles I have ever looked after. Highly recommend their home and furry family members 🐶

Tracy and Doug were very generous and welcoming. Their home provided a comfortable and pleasant environment for the sit. The location was close to anything you would need and many wonderful parks and towns to visit. The pets were great and we miss them already. And who doesn’t love fresh eggs every day? Thanks for a great sit.
