Emily and Greg were our first housesitters and it was a wonderful start for us. They went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable with us and even more important, that Rebel was comfortable with them. I was fortunate they lived in the next neighborhood over so they stopped by several times to walk with Rebel and me and the day before our trip, Emily came by to take him out alone to ensure there were no issues with a stranger coming into the home while we were gone. In addition, Rebel is a large rescue dog and, although he is usually well behaved, none of us were sure how he would be when we left as we adopted him during the pandemic and we have been home pretty much 24/7. In addition, she had to attempt to keep Rebel from consuming too many cicadas which was a chore in itself. All went perfectly. Our house was left tidy and she even had to clean up some things that Rebel got into - he loves pillows, tissues and plastic bags. This was by no means her fault, we left them where he could get them.....and he did:) Emily communicated with me by text daily and we talked about how it went once we returned home. We came home to a happy dog which of course made us very happy and more comfortable with doing this again. Feel free to reach out to me if you need more information about this housesit. I would be delighted if they were able to housesit for us in the future and recommend them without reservations.

Rebecca
I had a really lovely time looking after Mowgli, Myrtle and Sketch for the weekend. I didnt go far and enjoyed the beautiful views from the patio and caught up on some reading while taking breaks to throw the ball for Mowgli and Myrtle. Mowgli is definitely in charge and lets Myrtle know when she has overstepped. I didn't have the confidence to let Myrtle off the lead so she did pull a bit but a longer leash solved the problem. Mowgli is a dream to walk and they both get very excited in anticipation. Sketch kept to himself but also enjoyed company when he came home to eat or sleep. 
Rebecca has a beautiful home in a beautiful rural area. I would highly recommend this sit. 
Thanks for having me! I hope to come back.

Amanda
I really enjoyed my stay with Sofi, so profoundly fell in love with her. Sofi is a very sweet and gentle dog. Kids and adults would come to greed her as she is so cute and adorable. 
Amanda is very organized, extremely helpful and a genuinely lovely person. Her welcome guide covered absolutely every aspect of staying in Vienna. The apartment was very clean and comfortable.
I’m really grateful to Amanda for giving me the opportunity to stay in her apartment and look after her adorable dog. I would highly recommend this house sitting as an amazing opportunity to live in a lovely place with a very sweet dog.

Danielle
Danielle's home is comfortable, clean and in a great location. Marlow is very smart, so much fun to play ball with and super easy to take on outings! Danielle and Marlow live in close proximity to beautiful walks and an awesome park. I really loved having New Leaf market across the street to pop over to pick up a few things. I stayed with my thirteen year old son who got along great with Marlow. He and I both give the experience five stars and would definitely stay and care for Marlow again!

Janet
Janet provided an amazing first housesit experience for me. She took time to show and explain everything in person before leaving. I appreciate her cheerful trust to care for her pets and for opening her charming home to me.  The view from her property is beautiful, and her neighbors were friendly and helpful. Lennie loves walking and to be near you. Sasha will curl up on your lap in the evenings and you can feel her purr. Charlie is independent and appreciated every stroke I gave, even when eating. I would definitely housesit for her again.

Jareth
Soba is truly such a chill cat. Most of the day he is snoozing in his favorite spots or people watching out the window! He loves a good scratch, but beyond that he is doing his own thing. Jareth was an amazing communicator and ensured I had everything I needed. Would highly recommend taking care of Soba if you get the chance to!

Symon
I had a really lovely time looking after Baxter, Morgan and Tibbs. Baxter and Morgan are the cuddliest, snuggliest dogs I have ever met! Sit down for an instant and one of them will be on your knee with the other next to you. Lie down on the sofa and both will be on top of you in a moment. I loved it. They are adorable, both individually and together. And Tibbs is gorgeous with his thick black coat, deep purr and amazing green eyes. Symon and Pamela were very welcoming and their home is comfortable and homely. The living room is a particularly nice room with a panoramic window and wonderful skyscape. I watched three beautiful sunsets. All very enjoyable.
