Sheridan visited our house before we left, and we had enough time to show her around and to go through routines. That was nice. While we were away, she sent us updates and made sure our kitties were taken care of. However, we weren't happy when we found out she had invited a friend over in our house to stay the night, without letting us know. It was not a pleasant feeling, being away from home and not knowing if you can trust the person that's taking care of your pets. We immediately talked about it, and Sheridan told me she did this before and never had any problem with it. She did, however, understand my concern and apologized. She promised that next time, she would handle this differently. Just a lesson learned from both sides! When we got home, the house was left tidy and clean, Sheridan left us some pastries and bread for the next day. That was very sweet. But most importantly; the cats looked great!
This was a very good, peaceful, happy, safe, clean and harmonious sit. Kim provided clear, detailed and helpful directions for her fur baby Pudding, his feeding, walks and care for this sit. The home was peaceful, clean, art filled, comfortable and beautiful. I would recommend this sit to other sitters. I definitely would sit for Kim and Pudding again. Pudding is a love bug, peaceful and easy to walk. Kim's house's is located near major streets, you can connect to local streets and freeways easily. Riding the local buses are available too. Supermarkets, restaurants, stores like Walmart, Dollar Trees, DD's and others are in the area close by.
Petsitting for Rose and Linda was such a great experience! They made us feel welcome and comfortable since the moment we met. They’re awesome people and great hosts. Their apartment is located in a neighbourhood with beautiful parks, and everything within walking distance. Holly, Coco and Champ are lovely, friendly and well-behaved doggies. They all have their own adorable personality and are easy to take care of. We really enjoyed their company and affection. Linda and Rose let us stay an extra night, which we really appreciate. We spent time together, shared dinner and lots of stories: they’re a lovely couple! We feel privileged for having the chance to meet them and take care of their furry babies. Thanks for everything and see you next time!
Great pet sit in a beautiful home. Sylvia and Neall are wonderful hosts and Cassi is a sweet kitty. I highly recommend this sit. You will experience fine hospitality and epic scenery.
A wonderful experience! Winnie is a well behaved and lovable Labradoodle. She loves to play, is very obedient whether on leash or in the house, and she knows her way around Princeton. After a long day, she may just sleep with her head in your lap as you chill in front of the television. We miss her already. We are grateful to Cheryl and her family for making their beautiful home available to us during our visit to Princeton. Cheryl provided thorough instructions for Winnie's care as well as care of the home. The home is beautiful and comfortable both inside and out, whether one choses to sit on the patio by the pool, swim, watch TV, or work remotely. Princeton, like many university towns, is lively, clean and feels safe. With ample sidewalks, the town is very walkable, and the lake area is suitable for hiking or running. If you're not sure how to get to the lake... Winnie will guide you there. There are numerous restaurants in town. We ate mostly at those recommended by Cheryl and were fully satisfied with each. We would selfishly love to keep this sit for ourselves, which we hope you "read" as a heartfelt endorsement of Winnie, Cheryl and her family, and Princeton! Perhaps the stars will align and we can return sometime.
I so enjoyed this sit, looking after David and Julie's lovely house in a spectacular riverside setting - and of course caring for Monty the cat. I met the family in the summer and knew I'd enjoy sitting for them. They provided a comprehensive info pack and were super-friendly and responsive throughout. The house is warm and comfortable - my lovely bedroom had plenty of storage, magnificent views and a bathroom with powerful shower right next door. I absolutely loved wandering around the garden, watching the swans, ducks and other birds and trying to make friends with the wild goose who has made the garden his home. There were some beautiful walks straight from the door too. Monty, the cat, is a star. We got on famously and he was using me as his personal sofa in no time. He communicates clearly and I soon learned to distinguish between "feed me now!", "sit on the sofa so I can lie on you", and "leave me alone, I'm sleepy!" Thanks for choosing me to house-sit for you, David, Julie and Monty. I highly recommend this sit to cat-lovers who enjoy being surrounded by nature.
It was an absolute joy house sitting for Charlotte and Tristan and looking after sweet Nutmeg. The house is lovely, nutmeg is an absolute joy to spend time with, and all communication with Charlotte was a breeze. Cannot reccomend enough!
