I am swimming in a reservoir of gratitude following the second sit with Melissa, Justin, River and Cash. This time I was away for a full week and my trip was more peaceful and joyful in knowing my dog and home were being cared for by this family of truly incredible humans. Edie suffered trauma before I rescued her, so she has a lot of fear when it comes to anyone, particularly men. The photos Melissa shared of Edie amplified that she was calm and happy while I was away, even when she was hanging out with Justin and River. Edie slept in bed with Melissa, Justin, and their baby and I’m told she almost had a maternal energy when it came to being with Cash. The world needs more love and kindness these days, even when it is simply micro-dosing those emotions and this family radiates them like the sun radiates sunshine on a bright day. When Desmond Tutu said, “My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.” He meant that the potential of human beings working collectively to achieve goals is infinitely greater than the potential of any individual. While house/pet sitting may sound like a simple task, it really does give us the opportunity to connect and help one another. Melissa, Justin, River and Cash helped me by caring for my home/pet while ensuring I experienced peace of mind while I was away. I helped them by giving them a unique experience to stay in a place that felt like a sanctuary to them and offered the opportunity for a unique adventure.

Dan
Grace and Dan were very welcoming to their fabulous home. We were very comfortable and once Chester warmed up to us, he proved to be a real character. A lover of attention and food, Chester would chat to us and was fairly intent on telling us what he wanted. 
The house is in a pretty, very quiet area and there were lots of great walks. Shirley(Grace’s mother) is so kind, lives close by and she was more than happy to answer any questions and help any way she could. 
A great sit, thanks Dan, Grace and Shirley.

Amrita
Amrita was so sweet & communicative. We facetimed to verify each others humanity which felt good for everyone. I met Mango and the rest is history! Mango is the cutest most playful, respectful, and caring kitty. Amrita’s home was lovely! A studio nestled right in downtown Brooklyn. Any questions I had Amrita was quick to answer. I would 100% recommend this sit for Mango and I look forward to the next time!
