Laura and Kyle went above and beyond lavishing my pets with attention. They thoroughly wore out my younger dog with several trips to the beach. Both my older dog and cat were lavished with love and attention. Without complaint the identified and made an unexpected vet trip for my younger Lab. My pets (and my house) are in such great hands with Laura and Kyle. I would have them back again and again! As a bonus, they took many cute pictures of my pets and even left me a framed photo! So thoughtful!
We really don't want to leave a review for Caryn because we don't want her to be so busy that she can't sit for us, but she will forever be our house and petsitter of choice! It is obvious that Caryn is fond of animals, but it appears she is also a professional cat-whisperer—our very shy siamese cat who hides as soon as he hears the doorbell was coaxed out of hiding within hours of our departure, and before long he was playing with her, and not missing us at all! A few weeks before our return, Caryn noticed that our westie was limping. She immediately informed us, and after observing him for a few days, she organised a visit to the vet, and took care of his treatment. Throughout our three month vacation, Caryn stayed in touch frequently, and on our return it was obvious that she'd taken really good care of our home and our pets. Although we didn't realise it when we agreed to have Caryn sit for us, we were so fortunate to find someone who gave us peace of mind. We are so grateful for her diligence and warmth—we recommend her wholeheartedly, but with the caveat that you'll have to get in line!
