How many ways can you say "wonderful?" Joelle was an absolute DREAM of a house/petsitter for our place. It's a big property, with a large vegetable garden that needed watering, garden beds requiring the same, and a dozen chickens watched over by a very persnickity English Shepherd who expected lots of attention and twice-daily walks around the property. The house is big too, and a real challenge to have clean all at once. She managed everything with exquisite excellence. The house was gleaming when we returned, everything clean and in its place. Not only had everything outdoors been watered as needed, but she went so far as to WEED a patch of squash plants that I had no expectation of seeing tended. The chickens were fat and happy, and she went the extra mile to CLEAN OUT THE COOP before I returned, even though I had told her I'd do it when I got back. She also tended to an ailing chicken with her own medicinal supplies. Joelle went above and beyond in every category, but most importantly, with our sensitive, loving, exercise-craving pup. Joelle figured out places locally to take our heavily-furred girl into various streams for cooling-off jaunts, and indulged her with super-long walks that our girl really loved. We could tell from the almost daily pictures that Joelle sent us how deeply relaxed and happy Tessa was -- hugged and cuddled and doted on while we were away. We've never seen her look happier. None of this mentions what a bright and cheerful spirit Joelle is -- we spent a day with her before the sit began, and a day after to ease our re-entry, and it was a complete delight to be around her, share our home with her, and get to know her. She was a dream to communicate with throughout our connection with her. If Joelle applies to sit for you, say YES. You could not have a better experience with another sitter.

Moira
I had a lovely stay in Deptford with the cats Kiko and Nell. They were so friendly and we made an immediate connection. Even although one cat needed medication it was straightforward to administer. Moria left very detailed instructions and checked in regularly. The house and garden are very pleasant. The only drawback for me was the 30 stairs to my room. The room itself was simple light and airy and I enjoyed it.

Jenna and Rob's character home is the perfect setting in Armstrong. Walking distance to the downtown core for browsing the local shops or stopping for an espresso at one of the local cafe's. Plus Jenna and Rob go out of their way to ensure you are comfortable with staying in their home. However, Balu is the highlight of the pet-sit... she is an exceptionally sweet and easy to care for pet. Such a lovely and playful dog. Would not hesitate to accept another pet-sit in the future.
