Mark
This was a really lovely Sit from start to finish!  Mark & Zoe are a lovely, friendly couple who made us feel instantly at home on our arrival the night before. We were warmly welcomed with a lovely meal and easy conversation getting to know each other and the pets routines etc. Communication with them before before, during and after the Sit was always easy and uncomplicated. Their home is warm and comfortable with wonderful sea views from the terrace and Moraira is a very pretty coastal town in a beautiful area of Spain. It was a lovely place to spend Christmas with our two new little friends-Archie and Campi!
Archie  is an absolute delight- one of the sweetest, most easygoing, dogs we've ever met- he really is a lovely little companion! He's very polite and always tells you when he needs to 'go' and absolutely loves his runs on the beach and meeting doggy friends. We also had many walks together around the neighbourhood. Archie travels so easily in the car that, aside from the beach trips, we also took him pretty much everywhere with us rather than leave him 'home alone'! 
Campi is a beautiful and independant cat. At first we didn't see much of him as he is rather shy but by the last day he was coming and going much more often. He loves to be stroked and is a very affectionate little soul.
It really was a delight to care for both these lovable animals and feel so at home in Mark & Zoes' place. We'd be more than happy to be invited back and can highly recommend this Sit! :-)

Tim & Meg
Hux and Gus are adorable fellows - equally ready for walks (so well behaved!) or couch/bark time next to their lovely big window. It was so easy to make them happy. I arrived in the evening and after two walks they slept well in their crate - door open. In the early morning Gus jumped into bed by my knee and we had an extra snooze. Gus and Hux are well mannered and do not whine, push or beg. And, they really are such good loving companions with each other. Meg and Tim are excellent communicators and I enjoyed our text chats. Organized house and welcoming hosts! Their house is an older cozy vintage minimalist space with hardwood floors and tons of plants. The bed is on the soft side for me and if you are sound sensitive you might notice the flight path overhead. Very friendly neighborhood with an excellent New Seasons market nearby. It's two dogs but very little work since they are so relaxed and loving. They will bond with you quickly. The morning after I arrived AJ came so we could walk to breakfast. He took them both out the door while I stayed behind to turn off lights. When I came out a few minutes later, he said they were both waiting for me to appear - and such happy wagging tails to greet me. That made me special since the day before I was treated like the mail carrier and greeted with loud fearsome barks! I recommend Meg and Tim's family for an easy doggie fun sit.

Lizzie
Lizzie was the most inviting, trusting and accommodating host (and now friend!) we could have hoped for. She went above and beyond and helped us to feel immediately settled by picking us up, taking us to the grocery store and even cooking dinner. She remained very reachable while away, and answered all questions. 

All of the animals were well-trained and lovely to care for, each with their own unique personality. Connecting with them felt very nurturing and we looked forward to our daily walks in the arroyo. The land in back of the house is absolutely beautiful, especially for early morning and evening dog walks -- and we rarely saw anyone else on the trails. 

If you're looking for a space away to connect with nature, lovely furry critters and yourself, this is truly the perfect place. We miss them all already!

Wonderful experience to be repeated for sure .

Dwaine
It was my pleasure to sit for Dwaine & Kathy. From the very first meeting they welcomed me and made me feel comfortable in their home.  Their home is truly a family home and you feel part of the family.  Dwaine & Kathy's home is in a very quiet neighborhood with a great little park and many walking trails just steps away.  Okotoks has many great little coffee shops and boutiques and all of the amenities you could need.
It was very easy and comfortable communicating with Dwaine leading up to and during the sit.
Darling Dixon is a little lap pirate.  He loves to snuggle and  has the sweetest demeanor.  I think our morning and evening walks were more for me than him but he happily humoured me.  He wasn't bothered either way.  
I am grateful for the opportunity to spend time in Dwaine & Kathy's home with little Dixon.  I look forward to our next visit.
