Glenda and Martin were amazing pet sitters for my 3 girls. Before the actual sitting started we made arrangements for Glenda and Martin to meet the dogs as the dogs are rather large and they can be a bit intimidating when met all together, but Glenda and Martin were so natural with them and obviously liked them from the start and our girls relaxed very quickly with them. Glenda and Martin stayed with us for roughly an hour getting to know how we handled the girls and how the girls responded to their instructions, and I think were very pleased that the girls were so good. We explained the differences in them and medication requirements etc. and Glenda and Martin took it all on board. We made a second date for Glenda and Martin to come back and take the girls for a walk as they are big and a sitter needs to know if they are easy enough to walk. The girls passed their test, they are not perfect but if you know of any problems and how to respond to them then that is most of the battle won. The day came for us to leave for our break and as usual Glenda and Martin arrived in time for us to feed the girls before we left as we needed to show them how the girls get fed, i.e. where they like to sit and they have to wait before they get the command to eat. All went well and off we went. During our time away (1 week) Glenda kept me informed with texts and videos and photos regarding the girls and they all seem to have got on very well, so well that I thought the girls would have their bags packed and want to live with Glenda and Martin. We would be very happy to have Glenda and Martin sit for our girls any time, they were clean and tidy and left the house as they found it. This was the first time we have used a sitter and found the proposition of leaving someone in our home a bit daunting, but have got to say that our sitters left us happy to leave our home and our precious girls in their care. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

Paula
Paula is such a wonderful host and her house is lovely. She went out of her way to make my stay comfortable. It is located in a nice friendly neighborhood in Peoria. I fell in love with her sweet doggy girl, Holly, and we had the best 10 days together. Holly is well trained, eats well, loves to hang outside on the deck or in the front entryway and guard the house. She really is a sweetie and I thoroughly enjoyed her company while working as a digital nomad. I recommend and hope to stay again sometime!

Regina & Ian
Hosts (Regina and Ian) were super nice folks that I enjoyed getting to know before they left for their trip. The house was very clean and in a quiet neighborhood with plenty to do nearby. The dogs were the sweetest girls. They were very easy to care for, had their routine down and were well-behaved. They love to snuggle up next to you, and burrow under a blanket. :-)
Regina is highly organized and left everything neat and well planned where I had zero questions or confusion. She's a PRO! At first, you may be overwhelmed with the info and how thorough she is, but then you realize she knows what she's doing and every sitter  should be lucky to have a host as thoughtful and put together!

Paul
We absolutely loved our stay with Willow. Paul and Judith were very welcoming and gave us a lovely dinner the evening before their departure. We were able to observe Willow’s evening routine which was really helpful, instructions were clear and communication prompt and friendly. We loved meeting them. Willow was an absolute delight to care for, friendly, playful and a very good girl. The house was clean and extremely comfortable. We would love to return if the opportunity arose

Anya
Anya and Matthias were easy to communicate with. Matthias even picked me up from the train station as I came earlier as the rest of the family to meet them. 
The sheeps are really easy and funny to take care of and Jack and Ella of course, too. Jack loves to be with people and also often stayed in our room. Both cats are friendly and sleep most of the day.
We really enjoyed the beautiful old house and place they live. We would come again and can recommend this sit for sure.

Molly
I would highly recommend this sit! Tippy and Trello will steal your heart, and Molly’s home has everything one may need. 

The kitties are so cute and were friendly and curious right off the bat. They love head pets and compliments. Playful but easy-going. Careful of leaving any food out as they will steal it! 

I also enjoyed exploring North Beacon Hill: the house is very walkable and I didn’t need a car during my three day sit. Grocery, coffee shops, restaurants, brewery, ice cream are a short 5-10 minute walk away. Check out Milk Drunk for artisan soft serve ice cream! 

But Molly’s place is so nice you may never even need to leave. The pull out couch in the guest rooms is very comfortable. There is great outdoor space on the front porch and back yard (though I never wanted to leave the cats’ company!).
