Taylor did a wonderful job taking care of our menagerie of animals for a week! She is very caring, capable, and detail oriented. She came over a couple days before her stay to get oriented. If she had any questions during her stay, she reached out to ask them. We cannot recommend Taylor enough.

BRANDON
I really enjoyed sitting for Brandon and Jane. They made sure I had everything I needed before they left and wrote a detailed induction letter.
I felt very at home and the area is perfect for dog walking and exploring (if you like hills, walking and views). 
Susie and Ralph are real characters, and I actually found it a little difficult to say goodbye on the last day. 
Silk is a beaut and and definitely not as feral as they say ;) 
Would recommend this sit for anyone who loves dogs, walking and being in nature.

Anna and her family was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. She has given great detailed information and she is connected to answer you any doubt. And Coco is a very cool girl cat! 
Lovely flat in a fantastic location. I loved exploring the neighbourhood and the city. 

I had a fantastic time. I can't recommend enough you to sit here!  
Thank you for this amazing stay. I will miss Coco a lot, after many days enjoying together.
Tons of thanks! XXX

Bella has a sweet demeanor and always wants to be close. She loves pets and walks and treats. Waking up in the morning to see her wagging her tail and giving her belly always made me smile. 
Meghan and Davis were wonderful hosts, had a lovely home and created a beautiful clean space for me. They even bought a microwave just so I could use it! Great communication and just really nice people. I felt very comfortable in their home and enjoyed having breakfasts in the sunny backyard. Thank you for having me, would recommend meeting Bella, Meghan, and Davis!

Juniper was the sweetest companion for my time in San Francisco. Jaron and Tamara were excellent hosts and shared many recommendations of places and restaurants to visit. Their home is comfortable and low maintenance and well located and connected for exploring the city or for simply hanging out in some excellent cafés nearby. 
Thank you for hosting!

Becci made us feel very welcome and warm. During the sit, she was always happy to tell us anything about home or Kofi, which was a relief for us. Indeed, we felt at home from the first moment we arrived. And I should write, Becci's home is very comfortable and near many great parks. 
Kofi was a great guy. He was well-behaved, and we did not have any problems with him. On the second day, he opened his heart to us -and his belly as well :))) - He is independent and clever. If he needs something, he absolutely tells you.
Thank you, Becci and Kofi. 
We wholeheartedly recommend housesitting for Becci, and we know you'll fall in love with Kofi!

Lovely cats, lovely home, lovely owners!

We thoroughly enjoyed stopping in at this cute home for its walkability and proximity to the river, for having such friendly cats and for how welcoming and warm the owners are!
