Steven, Judith and their daughters Rose and Esther were wonderful house sitters. We communicated well from the very beginning and had daily updates during our time away. On our return, the house was beautifully clean and tidy. Judith had baked a delicious apple pie to welcome us home. The girls took on responsibilities for the chickens and ducks as well as the honesty box at the top of the drive. Steven did a great job in the garden. He picked all of our apples that would otherwise have fallen in the windy conditions and rescued our crop of carrots from marauding rabbits. The lawns were also nicely mowed. This had been a rather challenging house sit for various reasons. Firstly, our beloved Rosie had sadly died just a few weeks before they came. Una was therefore on her own so she enjoyed walks and lots of loving attention. Secondly, one of horses, Cubley, developed a sore hind foot just a few days before the house sit which necessitated both Blue and Cubley being on stable rest throughout the house sit. Even though this was an unexpected level of responsibility, they took on the challenge willingly and coped well in the circumstances. Finally, we had been having some unresolved issues with the heating system. Steven showed initiative and contacted the heating engineers independently. Given these unexpected issues, Steven, Judith and their girls were wonderful and took everything on board as far as they could. We are sorry that they had more responsibilities than originally agreed and hope that this did not detract from their experience. We would certainly welcome them back to our home at a time when hopefully circumstances are back to normal.

Jan
We had a wonderful time taking care of Kody. He is so sweet & well behaved. We loved taking him on walks in all the trails in the community. Jan & Martin were excellent hosts. They gave thorough instructions & easy communication. The home is comfortable & beautifully decorated. The views from the deck are amazing. I highly recommend this housesit.

Lowell
This was a wonderful house-sit.  Lowell showed me around the area and included an introduction to the dog park plus more information on the care of Otis  [the cutest dog I've ever met !]  
Their home was warm and comfortable with easy access to TV channels which Otis often curled up and watched with me. But mostly he enjoyed games with his toys and going out for walks of course.
East Aurora is a great town with interesting store, fresh produce, restaurants and coffee bars.  All within a short walk from the house. The house itself is large, elegant and includes excellent period features and furnishings.  But Otis is the best part !
I highly recommend this house-sit

Juliana
Harper and Bruno were super easy to walk and chill at home with. I gave them both a tennis ball that kept them entertained with each other for awhile. Juliana is a cool mom, she's full of energy and was very responsive throughout the weekend. The house is lovely, way bigger than it looks and the neighborhood is quiet and beautiful for walking the dogs.
