I absolutely can’t say enough about how great Trisha was while house and dog sitting for us! She is super nice and so personable, as well as incredibly organized and efficient. We asked her to come the night before we left because we were leaving early the next day, and she graciously obliged so we could meet her and walk her through everything. My dog Buddy loved her! She works in healthcare and is super committed to doing the sitting with the same professionalism as you’d expect from the best. She asked very detailed questions about Buddy’s habits and house care, like how to care for the plants, trash schedules, etc. and followed them explicitly. Pretty sure Buddy was sad to have us back after her care! She really went above and beyond - daily walking, brushing his coat, and cleaning bowls and potty tray, administered his supplements, and communicated with us with a photo and report every day! What really was amazing is what she did to care for our house! She washed and changed the sheets and towels, swept all the floors, vacuumed the carpets, emptied/cleaned the fridge, cleaned the bathrooms, emptied the trash and recycling, took out the compost, clean and gave us info on when plants were last watered. She drove us to the airport and we let her use our van while she was here - and she filled it with gas, washed it and went to the store to buy and fill the windshield wiper fluid! She washed Buddy’s blanket too. We will definitely ask her to come back for another sit if we can! Thanks to House Sitters for the opportunity to meet her!
If you want to die of love I highly recommend doing this petsitting! Angel, Tiger and Squeaky are the sweetest dogs in the world! They are all so affectionate and educated! Loves to be arround you all the time and just want cuddles all day long hahah! Squeaky is the oldest one so she is a well educated lady and calmer! Angel is more energetic and full of love te give and Tiger is an adorableee little baby but more skittish at times during our walks. All of them are little balls of love! We are already missing you girls❤️ Robin was also really easy to take care, when you open his cage he just stays calm in kitchen and flies around there at times. Charlotte and Dany were really kind and friendly! Charlotte pick us up from the train station and took us back there! Thank you so much!
I enjoyed my time sitting for Sierra in Tom and Mary’s lovely home for a couple weeks this summer. Sierra is a wonderful companion, a very sweet and well-behaved black lab. Mary and Tom are welcoming and provide detailed instructions about keeping Sierra happy in her routine. Their community is filled with delightful, helpful, and friendly neighbors. I highly recommend this sitting assignment. Thank you, Mary and Tom!
I enjoyed my house sit in Chapel Hill. Linda and Les are gracious hosts whose descriptions of Rudi fit perfectly. Rudi was a great companion and well-mannered during my stay.
It was an amazing month with a graceful and chilled cat Manuchi... Faranak’s place is really special, she is super friendly and a great host. I highly recommend to know both of them - you will definitely enjoy it. Thank you so much 💙
Housesitting for Rebekah was an absolute pleasure. She was communicative, friendly and helpful and a delight to deal with. Her cats, Pan and Pickle, are gorgeous - friendly and affectionate and love just chilling out with you in the great sunny garden. Rebekah’s home is located just a couple of minutes away from Harringay station, making it a great location to get into town. It’s in a lovely neighbourhood too, with a cute coffee shop and grocery store round the corner. Overall, a really lovely experience.
I thoroughly enjoyed staying with Summer at Sam and Jon’s beautiful home. I felt very comfortable and at home the whole time! They are easy to get a hold of and were really welcoming of me and my boyfriend, Adrian. The home is super stylish and relaxing! There’s a well-lit and maintained trail along the canal right out the back gate. Its so easy to walk to several restaurants and galleries. Don’t miss out on Copper Star Coffee, PHX Burrito House, & Short Leash Hotdogs & Donuts, all within a 10-minute walk. We stayed in the guest room which has a cozy mattress. We enjoyed cooking in their spacious kitchen, watching movies on the couch, and sipping a morning cup of joe out by the pool. Summer was SO easy to care for! She enjoys spending all day outside (even at night) but often comes inside to cuddle or get a pet (or try to coax a walk out of you!). Summer loves to go on long walks and sometimes she will sit and refuse to go home but with a little encouragement she gives in and goes home. LOL The location was ideal as it is less than 5 minutes from my grandkids. I would love to come hang with Summer again in the future!
