Joe was an excellent dog and house sitter. He kept me informed about Bella and Panther, gave them plenty of cuddles, and was fully clued in to their individual personalities and needs. I enjoyed meeting Joe and returned to a spotless home. I will invite Joe to house sit agin the future.
I spent 10 days taking care of Charlie and Kimchi and they are both such sweethearts. They warmed up to me quickly and provided lots of snuggles. The backyard is beautiful and felt like an oasis to spend time in. The home in Grand Rapids is also very close to many walking trails- although Charlie does not require extensive walks. Brittany and Adam were both kind, flexible, and communicative. I highly recommend sitting for them if you have the chance!
I had a great time looking after Pollyanna. She is very well behaved, gentle, doesn't pull, and is super chill happy to lay wherever you are keeping your feet warm. She's always appreciative of cuddle sessions and enjoys a little game of fetch and tug. She hasn't barked a single time which makes it a very relaxed stay that allows you to fully relax. On walks she again behaves very well, and is always eager to meet other people, children, and dogs. She likes to occasionally plop down on the ground like an anchor, but I found throwing one of her morning kibble a bit ahead of her, will easily get her going again. People passing us were always very amused! Richmond is a beautiful safe and clean town that is worth exploring. Beautiful river walk, everything walking distance but the bus stop is also not too far, and I definitely recommend Richmond Park.
I thoroughly enjoyed every facet of my stay at Pamela’s house, watching sweet Belle. Pamela’s communication is very direct, prompt and professional but also friendly and light hearted. Her home is cozy, thoughtful and inviting. You can tell that her grandchildren love spending time/visiting often and lots of fun and laughter are shared. The backyard is wooded/private and would be a haven in months that weren’t quite so warm as it was during my stay. The neighborhood is transitional, quiet, adjacent to several shopping centers and Duke Universities east campus. Lots of interesting things to explore within easy walking distance. All that said, the star the show is Belle! To say I quickly fell in love is an understatement. Belle is a super sweet, loving, fairly low key adult puppy who loves walks, belly rubs and magic sprinkles (shredded cheese on her food!). Belle has a doggie door and generally comes/goes as her whim directs. She is chill when you are but always up for some sort of engagement when you are ready to give it. She only rarely barks (usually the Amazon or UPS man) and sleeps through the night without interruption. I HIGHLY recommend staying w/ Belle/Pamela if ever the opportunity arises. I look forward to doing so again in the very near future.
It was our pleasure to sit for Anthony and Kathleen. Their home is full of good vibes, love and it's very cosy. They had a fantastic disposition in being helpful and kind, we could tell in our short time with them that they're very good people. On the other hand,we fell in love with Benji and Indie ,they're the most adorable, playfull and loving pups that we had to pet yet, we definitely recommend the sitting for anyone, and we would gladly do it again.
I spent a delightful week in Jamie and Brian's very comfortable house in Van Nuys with Po and Scout. Little Po and Scout are such sweet and well-behaved pets and we bonded immediately. The house is very cozy and comfortable; the Landscaping is amazing. Jamie left excellent instructions about the house, pets and neighborhood. The neighborhood is very walkable and little Po loves his twice daily walks. You will be lucky if you have an opportunity to spend some time with these two sweet pets. I am going to miss these two when I leave. I highly recommend this pet sit and I will happily return if it fits my schedule.
Beautiful home and family . I enjoyed the sit very much ! Sweet animals gave lots of cuddles 🥰
