Kristen took care of my two pups and she clearly loved them. She also managed the other house logistics and cleaned up after herself. Thank you Kristen for coming to Austin to be with my boys.
Denise and Dan are simply the best! We cannot remember ever meeting two people who so quickly made us feel comfortable and welcomed. Their home is warm and inviting (also very clean, tidy and extremely organized). Communication before and during the sit was excellent! The neighborhood is lovely and is very close to the beach and many other activities. Mookie and Dokie are sweet, energetic pups who love a great walk, as well as, lots of relaxing belly rubs!! They are the perfect snuggle buddies! We were only there for a few nights, but these pups captured a piece of our hearts and we were so sad to say good-bye. We all met as strangers but have surly left feeling like old friends. We had an amazing time & would highly recommend this sit to anyone!
We had a very enjoyable stay with Merry, in Zoe’s lovely flat. Merry is full of character and the most playful cat we’ve sat for so far, he is mesmerised by his ribbon toy and will chase it for hours! We would highly recommend this sit, thanks for having us Zoe.
My son and I spent a few days hanging out with Bo and Yolo in Matt and Marla's beautiful home. It was comfortable and we were made more comfortable by their warm welcome and excellent communication before and during the sit. We have never had a more thorough welcome guide, that anticipated questions before we knew to ask them. It made the transition quick and easy. Bo and Yolo are sweet guys who are pretty low maintenance. All they ask for is some short walks, full bellies and as much love as you're willing to give them, which is made easy by how sweet and cuddly they are. We highly recommend this sit and hope we have the opportunity to visit with our new furry Florida friends again in the future!
What a pleasure to share Kyoko's home. She made such an effort to make us welcome in her cosy and amazingly well equipped house. The star of the sit however was Mikan the cat. He kept us entertained with his antics, sudden bursts of energy, climbing skills and affectionate leg rubs.
Kris was easy and kind to communicate with, the house was clean and in a beautiful location and Charlie and Linus are so charismatic and cuddly. We had a lovely stay and would recommend it to anyone ☺️
Everything was perfect in this sitting: smart and well behaved dog Ares, welcoming and caring host Luke, gorgeous house and location. We spent a wonderful week with Ares, we were travelling through Switzerland and hiked a lot. Ares is the best dog ever. He listens to you and follows you with the smile on his face wherever you go. We will be happy to return any time and spend more days with this intelligent and handsome dog:)
