Eboni, Taurice and their family were fantastic. I can’t thank them enough! They were kind, considerate, easy to work with, and their children are sweet and adorable. Communication was proactive, and responsive. Eboni and Taurice treated my apartment and George like their own. They went above and beyond to sure George was taken care of! I wouldn’t hesitate to have them back again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 9-week sit in Needham with Zeus. Melissa and Brandon are incredibly supportive, quick with answers, and generally very pleasant people. They also have a comfortable home that is spotless and quiet. And, about Zeus. He is, quite possibly, the world's most perfect dog. He's friendly to everybody and everything (except, maybe squirrels). He's easy to walk, funny, and loves sleep and his tennis balls. He's quiet, and willing to accompany you just about anywhere. He's also very cute and everybody seems to know and love him. We are honored to be one of those everybodies. We would highly recommend and accept any opportunity to enjoy time with Zeus.
It was such a pleasure to house sit for Andrea. Ed was such a lovely cat, and easygoing. The house was very cosy and in a great spot, close to cafes and the supermarket. We'd love to house sit again for Ed in the future.
My husband Elias and I had a great time staying in Eemnes looking after Oscar, Enzo, Lola, and of course the chickens! Ross and Jackie were very accommodating and have a beautiful home. Thanks for letting us stay! -Corinne and Elias :)
Alexia is wonderful as are her two beautiful cats, Mac and Nala, she warmly welcomed us and introduced us and we all hit it off immediately. Mac is the older male cat who is lovable who interacts on his own terms which was quite often and lovable. He enjoys his brushings and spending time on the lanai even while the local chickens and roosters torment him, he is charming! Nala the female kitten is a loving ball of energy who shadowed us and played constantly. She has so much personality and so fun to be around. They get along well and occasionally wrestle together and keep each other company. We enjoyed every minute with them and thank Alexia for that! The condo is in a great location, very clean and has everything you need in a wonderful house sit. We communicated easily with Alexia and she provided excellent advice about Grand Cayman. We miss them both already, we thank you Alexia for the opportunity, highly recommend this sit and would love to return!
Well, the latest adventure in Goderich near lake Huron was a lot of fun. Deb and Scott are very kind and generous and I enjoyed meeting them. Their clean and beautiful home is in the quiet neighborhood of Benmiller with great neighbors who were happy to help with snow plowing or anything that could come up. I hung out with their two special kitties, Lu and Boo who get along well and cuddle together often! A minor health issue came up for both Lu and Boo shortly before I arrived. Thankfully, Deb and Scott provided instructions and a protocol from their Vet which made it simple to manage and everything progressed well. I fell in love with these kitties. Lu is a gentle, purring sweetheart. 😻 She "sings for her supper" for about an hour before each of her 4 feeding times, so I easily adjusted to this by doing something else like a bath, a walk, or shopping, and then I would return in time for her scheduled meal or snack. This worked like a charm. I also made sure the stove, counters, and sink were clear of food at all times since she tended to scout around. Boo is very chill and affectionate and will run and play as in "the zoomies". It's such a hoot!! You'll often find him hunkered down in various boxes. He enjoys that. You're fortunate if you can meet Deb and Scott and be with their sweet pets who are so loveable. They went out of their way to provide everything needed for a comfortable experience with ideas for restaurants and plays, supplies, and helpful Instructions, as well as some pics and messages when they were away! And their welcome lasagna dinner was delish! There's a lot to do in the quaint town of Goderich, a ten minute drive away. Lunch at the Benmiller Inn is a must. And the parks near the lake, the people, the cafes, and the many shops are great. Thank you Deb and Scott for having me in your home with your precious pets and I hope to see you all again. Best wishes, Nora
We loved spending time with Xanti and Freda. They are the sweetest cuddliest fluffiest doggies and we wished we could have spent more time with them. Xanti may take a little warming up especially around men but once she decides she likes you you get endless puppy like licks and cuddles. They are such a lovely breed and very well behaved and friendly. We loved staying so close to Oxford, the kitchen is gorgeous and we enjoyed lighting cozy fires in the evenings. Xanti loves sitting by the fire too. Sammy and Tristan were very communicative and they kindly left us bread and hot crossed buns. A very cozy and pleasurable stay.
