We recently had Pascale stay at our home for four nights to take care of our pup, Denali. From the outset, Pascale was kind and it was evident that she genuinely cares for animals, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. However, there were a few challenges during her stay that prevent us from giving a full five-star rating. Firstly, we had some communication issues before the start of her stay regarding arrival and departure times. Despite originally saying she could take Denali out before heading to evening events on her arrival day, she later told us that she could no longer do so at the last minute. Pascale also informed us of a departure change right before we left, which left us scrambling to make alternative arrangements on short notice. Second, she lost our house keys during her time with us, necessitating getting her access to another set (fortunately, the lost set got turned into our super). Third, there was an instance where Denali was left alone for over 10 hours, despite a previous explicit discussion about the appropriate length of time away from Denali, where we had indicated 8 hours was the limit to ensure no accidents. While Pascale’s kindness and love for Denali are commendable, these issues highlighted some areas where communication and reliability could be improved. We appreciate her efforts and care for our dog, but future pet owners might want to discuss these aspects to ensure a smooth experience for everyone involved.

Amy and family,
Thank you all for allowing me to stay at your lovely home. Glad I was able to help leash train your four-leggeds. They were both loving.

Susan
What a wonderful, peaceful sit! Susan was so very hospitable and her fur babies are adorable. I spent a lot of time on the back porch with Wednesday on my lap, reading the novels Susan has in her home. Johnny Mittens and Joey Buttercup are the sweetest cats and so soft! I even had contact with the outside cat, Wil Feral. I told him how lucky he was to have Susan watch over him. Taking care of all them was easy thanks to Susan's very thorough welcome guide.
Susan's home is beautiful, as is the surrounding area. I visited a couple of state parks with nice trails and waterfalls.  The last two or three days the temperature dropped so it was especially pleasant to be outside for a couple of hours and breathe in fresh air.  All in all a wonderful sit!

Claire
Claire's home was truly lovely and my daughter and I had a wonderful sit there.  The location was perfect with easy walking distance to the beach and right across the street from a lovely park.  Her home was comfortable and cozy.  Claire ended up taking her dog with her on the trip, so we didn't get to take care of her sweet pup, but we truly enjoyed our stay.  Claire was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any questions.  Highly recommend a stay at Claire's lovely home!
