Becky and Rod stayed at our house from July 9rth to July 24th while we were away. We are happy to recommend them for any pet/house-sitting jobs now or in the future. They are extremely responsible sitters, and we have nothing but praise for them. They are reliable, devoted, and attentive caregivers and took excellent guardianship of our home and pets (two cats, Elsa and Rosie, and one African Grey parrot, Gandalf). Although many people have little to no experience caring for a parrot, Rod actually grew up with a parrot and knew exactly what his needs were, as well as how to interpret his more subtle behaviors, such as when beak grinding means it’s time for bed, or when he fluffs his feathers and wags his tail, meaning “Hi, pleased to see you again.” It was almost as if he and Becky could read Gandalf’s mind. They are prompt, flexible, and friendly people, and have excellent communication skills with both humans and animals. Everything went off without a hitch. While we were away from home, Becky and Rod regularly contacted us and shared photos to reassure us that all was well. Indeed, the photos confirmed that everyone was having a wonderful time and was well taken care of. The photos show Becky and Rob playing with both the cats and bird, cuddling them and also leaving them to play and explore on their own (as both species are wont to do). Becky and Rob demonstrated compassion for our animals from the very start. They diligently scooped the litter pan twice daily, and vacuumed up any litter that our cats kicked out. They changed Gandalf’s cage paper every day, and sponged off his cage bars and bottom tray. They also made certain that everyone was well fed (but not overfed). As an added bonus, the house was very neat and clean when we returned home. There we no pet messes anywhere, and the entire house, including the kitchen, was immaculate. We only hope we can keep it that way! We came home to three healthy, happy, loving, and well-adjusted pets. To conclude, we are confident in saying that Becky and Rod are among the best pet/house sitters we have ever had, and we would welcome them back any time. They provided us with peace of mind while away—a rare commodity when leaving one’s family and home to the care of others. We recommend them without reservation, and we know that you will appreciate the compassionate care they are certain to provide your home and non-human family as well. Franny and Sean

Marijke
Marijke is a warm welcoming host with a lovely home, extraordinary garden and an absolutely wonderful pet-child in Bendji. 

Set in idyllic McGregor with Bendji as a constant companion, we couldn’t have been happier with this sit. 

If you have the opportunity to enjoy downtime in the quaint town of McGregor with Marijke’s home as your base, grab hold of the wonderfully enriching experience to love Bendji whilst minding Marijke’s lovely home.

Hannah
Hannah was very easy to work with, and I had a great time with JoeJoe. After enjoying some of his favorite treats, he warmed up a bit, and then as soon as he saw we were putting in the leash for our first walk, we were fast friends. If you wonder how to get to the elevator by the front entrance, he will happily show you the way. He always barked twice before entering or exiting. 

He loved sitting by me in the couch or sleeping just below the foot of the bed. The park across the street was convenient for a walk any time. I could also open the back door to let him use the grass pad back there for potty breaks. 

On Saturday, we went to the farmer’s market there. He got a little nervous around all the other dogs and barked just to let them know he was there, but we had fun.

The space was cozy, right in the heart of the city. The kitchen had everything I needed in easy reach. I slept very well in the bed there. I’ll look forward to staying there again in the future.

Geri
I had the best stay at Josh and Geri's beautiful home in Seattle. Taking care of Ringo was a joy – such a well-behaved and cute dog. The house is great and got everything you need - including a stunning location. I appreciate their hospitality and would love to dogsit for Ringo again.

Chloe
I had such a wonderful stay at Chloe & Malcolm's place looking after lovely Millie. The communication was great from Chloe and they both went above and beyond to make my time there as great as possible. 
Millie is such a sweet dog and was a delight to look after.
The house is in a really beautiful location with plenty of wonderful walks just off their doorstep. I'd recommend this sit to anyone and hope I'll get the chance to stay there again with Millie soon!

Paula
Our stay at Paula's house was nothing short of lovely. Paula is great to work with. She has clear and fair instructions. 

Saffron is such a beautiful dog we just fell in love with her. Paula has done such a great job training her in her short 18 month life. Going for walks with her was super fun and her recall was great off the leash. She's a cuddly big love muffin and we actually found ourselves looking up golden retriever puppies for when we go home. She's made us fall in love with the breed. 

Juniper the cat is also very sweet but slow to warm up. But once she does she's full of cuddles. 

Cumin the cat is hilarious and playful we got lots of laughs out of her. She's also into cuddles. 

The location of the house is brilliant and about a 30 min walk to the city centre and less to Temple Meads train station. Beautiful area and great walks to take Saffy. It's a beautiful house with everything you need. 

Thank you so much Paula for choosing us. We would stay again in a heart beat ❤️

Kierston
My stay in Olympia was made a million times better with the goofy companionship of Ellie and the sweetest lil lady, Kia. While they each took their own time to get comfortable with me, we were all friends after about 24 hours. Ellie was very good about letting me know when she wanted to go outside as well as when she wanted to stay outside. 😂 She loves the great outdoors! I had a wonderful welcome from Kiersten too! She was kind enough to pick me up from the train station and was so generous with her time and space. I felt very comfortable with the instructions for the pups and with the amenities included in their house (aka the Tempur-pedic mattress 😉). I couldn’t have had a better stay in Olympia all thanks to this crew of ladies. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a chance to meet Eric, the man of the house. Haha. But maybe next time!
