Cathy
I had a wonderful time sitting for these lil fur babes.  I appreciated Cathy's detailed instructions on how to care for her babes and welcoming chill nature in her home and neighborhood.  I felt set for a successful sit and also truly appreciated her flexibility with being able to accommodate a change in my schedule  to care for her babe one day.

Jon and I absolutely loved our pet and housesit! Ella is the most loving and playful dog who we enjoyed spending time with and we will certainly miss her. She took right to both of us and would sleep on the bed with us each evening. She loved to go on her walks and cool off in her doggie pool. She’s playful and sweet.
We were also fortunate enough to spend a day ahead of the sit with Alison and found her to be so open, friendly and welcoming that we really feel like we are now friends. Her home was comfortable and clean and we had everything we could possibly need. She was also kind enough to let us know of many places and things to do nearby and even set up transportation for us! She truly is a wonderful lady and we both felt very fortunate to have met her and Ella. We hope to pet/housesit again for them!

Unfortunately, we never had the chance to  care for Spiral. Jessica and Peter had to regrettably cancel their plans due to heightened COVID (Delta) numbers. A decision we wholeheartedly agreed with. Their communication was friendly and prompt. We wouldn’t hesitate to apply for one of their sits in the future.

Our stay at Elizabeth and Van's beautiful woodland retreat was a nature lovers paradise. Coming from life in the city having the smell of the pines and redwoods surrounding the house was deeply restoring. From their charming abode it's only a short distance to beautiful hiking trails, while a short scenic drive leads to a plethora of pristine lake trails. We also loved that we could walk to town in just 5min and even a sweet farmers market was in walking distance. We both fell in love with Juneau and Sunny and miss them already. Being with them was the highlight for us. Juneau is a ball-fetching ninja and Sunny girl is the sweetest who loves heartfelt connection time. Liz and Van are the most genuine, sincere, kind souls who we now call friends. We had smiles our entire stay and can’t recommend them more highly.

Kedar and Erika
My mom and I had a wonderful time house sitting for Kedar and Erika. Their pup, Rishi, is extremely sweet, smart, and high energy. He is a wonderful companion on any outdoor adventure and is ready to snuggle up with you when the day is over. Kedar and Erika were perfect hosts; they were extremely communicative and they provided a detailed welcome guide so we knew exactly how to take care of Rishi. The location can't be beat either; Dozens of hikes and other things to do were all within 5 miles. This was definitely a 10/10 house sit!

Caring for Marty McFly was such a lovely experience in Vienna! He was a bit stubborn when he wanted to go his own way, which we did most of the time, and all his arthritis would somehow vanish as long as we were headed where he wanted. He even turned into a young sprinter when headed towards your restaurant! Very lovely fellow. Very pleasant location 20 min walk to the museums and still within the city feel of Vienna. Loved my time here. Thank you for the coffee and contact with the neighbor who gave me some great tips on trips to the woods and Danube!
