Miriam and her partner are welcome back anytime. They were excellent stewards of our home and little dog. Three weeks is a long time and unexpected things can and usually do happen. Miriam was prompt, calm and even a little humorous in letting us know what was happening on the home front. For instance, though our neighborhood is quiet and friendly, wouldn't you know that in the first week a minor traffic accident occurred right outside our house. No one was hurt, our property was not damaged, only a downed street sign. Later, a cluster of electric outlets stopped working in the kitchen and Miriam did all the reasonable things to figure out the problem to no avail. Fortunately plenty of other outlets were available to use. We had a bit of a heat wave with no rain and Miriam and I communicated about extra watering for which I was grateful. As a former homeowner, Miriam was familiar with the things that can come up and deals with them in a straight forward logical manner with no drama. It was so nice to come back to a home that felt lived in-in a good way! Clean and tidy, plants upright and smiling, no stuffy vacant house smell, and a puppy who was enthusiastic about seeing us but not in that post-kennel desperate way. Miriam is a wonderful communicator. We agreed on a check-in about every 4 days and sure enough she would send a brief text and a couple of photos of things she knew we would be interested in: proof that the fig tree was sprouting leaves, the columbine was blooming and the dog was having a great time on walks and riding in the car with her nose out the window. When Miriam inquired about our home she had a couple of needs: high speed internet and an outlet to charge an electric car. No problem on our end and we appreciated that she made clear right up front what her requirements were. She gets my highest rating. Your home and pet are in very competent and respectful hands with Miriam.

Christine
What a pleasure it was to meet Nik and Akela.  They both made me feel welcome right away. (I didn't get to meet Christine but she was friendly and quick to respond online)  Akela was a very sweet dog and was easy to care for. There were also a few fish to feed-very easy.  Nik was very kind and friendly.  He had to return home for a few days during my stay and even though he was extremely busy, he always made time for kind words and a chat. I enjoyed being there to help out on the homefront and I enjoyed getting to know Nik and Akela.  I  highly recommend this sit but good luck because I will be applying for it whenever my schedule allows.

We really enjoyed staying with Baloo over the weekend! He is such a sweet lovely dog. We really enjoyed Baloo's walks as there is a great community of other dog owners in their nearby park who know Baloo well.

Ester and Guillem were also super easygoing and made sure we felt at home while we were staying there. We sent a few updates a day in a group chat and they were always very responsive and excited to see that Baloo was doing well with us.

We had such a lovely time looking after Reuben, Wilber and all the fish! 
Reuben is just the best. He is a big softie who loves to be petted and played with. He has a great personality and we will miss him lots.
