Barbara is an amazing pet sitter and we wouldn't hesitate to have her back. In fact, we did ask her to come back and gave her our next dates, but she is booked. If you choose Barb, you'll find a physically fit person with a great personality, completely trustworthy, tidy, communicative, and mentally stable. Barb left our house spotless. She washed and dried the sheets and towels, and the place looked great when we returned. All I can say is that Barb is a great find! If she lived closer, we'd want to be friends with her. Our trip was one week long. Since this was the first time we've left our cats, we were naturally fretting. Barb came a day early to meet the family and learn the routine, which was truly above and beyond the call of duty. Over the course of the week, she sent us text updates and photos, and she responded to our texts without too much delay. Our two cats want her to come back! At first, Milo hid and wouldn't sneak out until Barb went off to bed. (He's a shy kitty.) But by the third night, Milo was snuggling on the bed with her and they were best friends. Finnegan, our outgoing cat, checked her out and gave her the seal of approval right away. When we arrived home, I think our pets were actually disappointed that Barb had left. They wanted her to stay. We recommend Barb with the highest number of stars in every category. We'd give her more than 5 if we could.

I highly recommend Deborah and Tom for your house sitting and - more importantly! - animal sitting. We were fortunate enough to have them look after our 1912 house, our elderly cat and our active young dog for six weeks this spring. We couldn't be happier with their care of our home and for our animals. (And we are very particular about care for our animals.) > Their stay was complicated by the fact that the week before we left, Joe, our 16-year-old cat, was unwell. He was on the mend by our day of departure, but we left knowing that if his condition returned, we might have to make decisions from abroad about his care. Deborah and Tom knew about his condition. We felt comfortable knowing that if difficult decisions had to be made, they were just the people we would want with Joe. Fortunately, in their care, Joe thrived, and we came home six weeks later to a cat you'd never have known had been sick. He's also a very shy cat, but grew comfortable within days with Deb and Tom, even allowing Deb to pick him up (the only person other than me and the vet who has been able to do so!) > Our dog Poppy is a three-year-old rescue from Mexico with a lot of energy who is also sometimes reactive to other female dogs. Deb and Tom met with us in advance so they could learn how we deal with that (positive reinforcement when she doesn't react) and all went well. Poppy is so in love with them that she literally bowled them over with her enthusiasm when she got to see them again after their house stay. You can always trust your dog's reaction to people. > We have a character house with a large garden. Deb and Tom cared for both beautifully. > They are also very easy to deal with and are excellent communicators, keeping us posted on things as needed. They are dependable, responsible people who will love and care for your pets and your home. > They're so great that we've already booked them again for the fall!

Gillian came for a short weekend sit and it was great that she was local and could come and meet Coco and Frosty beforehand. She kept us updated and sent photos every day. Thanks Gillian

Victoria was so tidy I couldn't tell she was even there.  Her natural instinct with birds was fantastic.  Pretty went right to her when she arrived.  She wasn't as interactive as Pretty prefers but after all she is a very spoiled bird.
