Beryl
This was such a great sit! Beryl and Jim were amazing to work with and made sure I was set up for success with there sweet cuddly cat Lily! There home is so special filled with art from all of their travels, and it was such a comfortable home with all the creature comforts. What a wonderful experience, I could not recommend sitting for them enough. If you are looking to visit Traverse City this is a great place to sit and stay!

Sam
Sam and Heather seem nice and easy going. They were appreciative and quick to respond when I sent pics and updates. They left me a clean and comfortable home, which I struggled to get comfortable in after finding a camera on a shelf in the living room while I was sitting on the couch watching TV. The camera was plugged in and recording. This came a day after asking Heather and Sam if there were any cameras or recording devices in the home, explaining I was a therapist, and it was a HIPPA violation. They assured me there were none. I trusted this and was upset to find it not the case.

Everything I needed for the animals was left on the table, which I appreciated. I would have also liked a welcome guide or document with feeding instructions, emergency contact, vet and house info etc. 

The animals are absolute sweethearts. Charlie and Pepe have completely different energies, but both love affection and attention and are great companions! There is also a very cool bearded dragon who is fascinating to watch and feed.

A bit more trust, transparency and organization will make this good sit great!

Gillian
Gillian and Rob are a lovely, hospitable couple and it was a real delight to meet them, to stay in their house and look after their dogs. The house is a very large converted barn, in a rural haven of peace and quiet with fields all around, but there's lots of supermarkets, shops and retail parks within a five minute drive. You can also take a long walk to the Thames, or drive there. 
The dogs, Brocket and Sable, are probably the best behaved, and most chilled dogs I have ever sat for, and Brocket, the lab, is really affectionate and cuddly. Their feeding and walking routines were really simple. I couldn't have wished for a better sitting experience!

Mary
I had a wonderful time at Mary's home in Shetland looking after Rufus, Leo and Flora. The cats are all friendly and happy to spend time having fuss and sleeping on the bed with me. They are all different characters with Rufus being a gentle soul, Leo being the expert hunter and sweet natured Flora who although not long out of kitten hoood is well on the way to being the boss! Although Leo is the hunting ring leader they all get involved if there are baby rabbits or mice in the vacinity!
Mary's house, as well as being very warm and confortable, is well placed for visiting many of the interesting places in South Mainland. There is archaeology a plenty as well as superb coastal walks and the cliffs are a bird watchers paradise. There is a good local bus service and car hire available if you want to travel further afield. There is so much to see in Shetland. Thank you Mary for inviting me. I should love to return.

Hayden
Jake and Luna are such sweet and easy kitties. Jake loved brushing up against my leg and laying on the floor next to my foot and Luna loved playing with her toys. They are low maintenance and feeding was very easy.

Hayden's place is easy to access, comfortable, and is located a very short walk to several coffee shops and restaurants.  It is also located 1.5 short blocks from a bus line that takes you to the heart of Seattle (walking distance to the Space Needle, Pike Place Mkt, football & baseball stadiums), etc.  Communication with Hayden was great!
