We sensed immediately that Lee and Tom would be a trustworthy couple and made a quick decision in their favour. Communication was easy and they forthcoming when negotiating when to arrive at our place. We had two pleasant encounters with them before leaving and felt quite reassured by then. In fact, we felt we had quite a lot to say to each other and regretted not meeting them on our return because their flight left before we were due home. During our holiday the occasional message from Lee regarding Mimi's (as well as their own) wellbeing set our minds at rest and we were easily able to leave them to it. When in doubt or a problem occured, we communicated via whatsapp and all was well. On returning from a relaxing holiday, a very relaxed cat approached us with a friendly attitude saying something like this: "Oh, you're back? That's nice. Well, I was well taken care of." As we could gather from a journal Lee noted down for us (there were some worries concerning Mimi's food and water intake as well as output before we left), they made quite an effort in encouraging Mimi to eat which is not an easy task. The house was clean, all the linen and towels washed upon return, plenty of food in the fridge. We were happy that Tom & Lee obviously had pleasure in making contact with the neighbourhood and some parishioners and in being here. We certainly recommend them as experienced animal-people and house-keepers!

Francesca
We had a wonderful sit over the Christmas Holidays at Francesca's!  They left lovely special touches to welcome us and the house is in a great location downtown, an easy walk to shops and restaurants.   Wadi was a great tour guide, who took us all around town to show us the sites and in gratitude we took him to the dog park where we all had a great time!   He is very well behaved and the kitties are easy to care for and friendly.   Would highly recommend sitting here.

Thanks for having us to sit. We had a lovely time. 

Luna and Buzz were sweeties, as were the cats. Nice area to explore and lovely to walk straight into the fields from the door. 

Thanks for all your great communication, we'd be keen to come back another time!

Sandi & Keiji (KG)
I enjoyed such a wonderful sit at Sandi and Keiji's beautiful yet comfy home. They are two of the kindest people you'll ever meet and Wasabi's pure, goofy puppy energy is the best. She was such a fun, happy companion during my three-week stay.
 
Sandi and Keiji welcomed me warmly and graciously invited me to stay in their lovely guest house the night before they left for Japan. Sandi is a great communicator who stayed in touch throughout the sit and helped troubleshoot some tummy issues Wasabi was having.
 
I highly recommend this sit and would return in a heartbeat. Some of my favorite things:
 
1. Walking the beach at sunset
2. Soaking in the hot tub listening to hummingbirds buzz around the yard
3. Harvesting fresh herbs and celery from Sandi’s fabulous winter garden
4. Enjoying breathtaking views of the San Juans across Rosario Strait
5. Playing fetch with Wasabi in the big, fully fenced front yard
6. Cocktails with Sandi and Keiji the night before they left—Keiji crafts a perfect Negroni!
7. The generator seamlessly kicking in when we briefly lost power during an exciting winter storm
8. Exploring the history and stunning natural beauty of Lummi Island
9. Riding the cute little 20-car ferry back and forth to the island
10. Three weeks of peace, quiet and solitude—a perfect writer’s retreat!

Elon is a gentle, humorous, cheeky and un-demanding sweet dog. I grew very fond of him.
House was tidy.
Alexa was communicative from beginning to end.

Katherine
Katherine's home is in the perfect location for anyone looking to stay active in their visit to Denver or get out of the city to see the most beautiful parts of what the state's wildlife has to offer. The back porch has a lovely place to sit and have some morning tea or to work for a bit and the living room couch is perfect for naps!

Katherine was thorough in her tour of her home and clear in her expectations. She was very responsive and extremely understanding when I had some arrival and departure timing changes.

Molly has a purr-box that never turns off and Josie and Cody are wildly affectionate. It was so nice to be around animals that were thrilled to have me visiting!

I would absolutely recommend this stay to anyone. Getting out of the heart of the city is the perfect way to spend time in Colorado.

Vas
My house sit with Vas, Logue and Nova was great. 
Vas & Logue are warm, easy going and super friendly. They made me feel so welcomed and were extremely easy to chat to about anything. 
Nova is super gorgeous. She’s a little diva and you just need to move with her at her pace! Give her space if she wants it or if she’s cuddling up to your leg and being playful, then you’ve got the go ahead. She was a delight to look after! 
I really enjoyed my stay and would love to look after Nova again. 
Highly recommend this sit! 🥰
