I’m sure when Amy applied for this sit it never occurred to her that she might be spending a few days riding out a tropical storm while comforting our thunder-fearing Staffy.  It turns out that is exactly what happened and she handled it with patience and class. Tessie fell in love with Amy minutes after she arrived and I am pretty sure that the feeling was mutual. Amy went above and beyond communicating the entire time she sat for us, keeping us updated and informed yet not overwhelming us with unnecessary reports or photos. She got it just right. As a matter of fact she got it all right, from caring for our dog to maintaining our home and respecting our property, even overseeing an appliance repair technician scheduled to fix the dishwasher. Amy was a pleasure to deal with and get to know. Having Amy as a sitter made me realize that she has a very important quality that I will be looking for when we need another sitter- maturity.  Many thanks to Amy for handling a stressful situation with maturity and a positive attitude.

Debbie and Larry were amazing! 
Responsible, caring, friendly and reliable at all times. They took great care of our house and 3 kitties. 
They were always attuned to the cats' behavioral changes and kept us informed by sending constant photos and reports. 
Additionally, they went above and beyond what was expected of them by fixing our drippy kitchen faucet, organizing the kitchen cabinet, washing my car, picking up cat food at the vet, picking me up at the airport when my husband had to stay behind… The list goes on and on. 
Upon my arrival, the cats were healthy and happy, the house was clean. 
We are very grateful to both for everything. They were our best house sitters and we would love to have them back again!

Martha and Gus were fantastic cat sitters. They were excellent communicators, warm, friendly and reliable. We came home to a perfectly clean house and happy cats. We’d happily have them sit again and recommend them to anyone.
