My 9-day trip overseas was going to be the longest I had ever been away from my cat Lenny since I foster failed and adopted him 4 years ago. Lenny has a medical condition that can be aggravated by stress, and I was worried that my going away for this length of time could stress him out. So I wanted to make sure he was cared for my someone who prioritized him and wanted him to be comfortable. Jessica was the first sitter who applied after I posted the sit, and after some correspondence we had a video chat, with left me with a very good feeling about her. Many other sitters applied and I was in contact with several of them, but for a variety of reasons, Jessica felt like the best choice. I am so glad I chose her! She communicated with me regularly, in the way that I requested, with messages and photos so that I always knew how Lenny was doing. Part way through my trip we had a video call so I could check in with her and see Lenny live. It was very clear from the start that Lenny really liked and trusted Jessica and that he was getting a lot of love and attention. This gave me great peace of mind. I came back to a very neat and tidy home, left as I requested. And while Lenny was happy to see me, I knew that he was not ignored while I was away. I feel so fortunate that Jessica was my catsitter. She was reliable, communicative and organized and I will use her again whenever possible!

Being able to travel for six weeks is a dream, and with Jamie’s excellent care and strong communication, we had zero worries about our dog Teddy.  We returned home to a happy, relaxed pup and an orderly home. 

We were glad for regular pup dates and pics, which gave us visual confirmation that Teddy was in great hands. 

Jamie is experienced, mature and professional. 

We would be lucky to host her again, and Teddy would be thrilled.

What a lovely housesit for us in Germany. We fell in love with Bertie and Otto instantly. Doing yoga will never be the same without Bertie and I miss my Otto hugs. Such amazing cats. The house sit in Langen was perfectly located for us with easy access into Frankfurt by train to explore the gorgeous German towns in the surrounding area.
The neighborhood is perfect for walking, all grocery stores and coffee shops are within an easy walk. And a five-minute walk from the house takes you out in the countryside. Really lovely. Thank you, Jeremy and Jo, we really enjoyed our stay.

Amy
Amy is a really nice and thoughtful person. She was down to earth and easy to talk to as she welcomed us into her cozy home. She loves nature and it’s evident by her amazing garden and taste. Her house is beautiful and her kitties Asher and Zeke are so funny and cute. They each have distinct personalities and show it every day. They love to hang out, cuddle, and keep your day interesting. 10/10 would recommend

Brittanie is a  great host! She welcomed us  into her comfortable home she shares with Sweet Jazzie. Having a pool in Phoenix is a plus! Swimming with Jazzie was such fun! She is a quiet, loving dog who enjoys her walks and hanging out with you. Our time with her was wonderful!

Brennan and Ben
Dottie is close to perfect! She understands English, will walk as far as you want to go, follows house rules, and makes a great companion as a couch potato. She doesn’t like other dogs in her space.
Brennan and Ben live in a beautifully updated single house in the heart of Charleston. Their accommodations are 5 stars. You can walk to restaurants, parks, or the Battery. The many colleges in the area create a youthful environment that meshes perfectly with the intercity of Charleston. A short drive takes you to the beaches. 
Brennan and Ben left directions for Dottie’s care and how to operate the house amenities. We communicated daily by text and Brennan and I talked several times. I have met three new friends and I hope to return again soon. If you get this opportunity, you will love it. Be sure to go to Lewis Barbecue if you are ever in Charleston.

Just got home from an amazing experience watching Ben, Toffee and the fish Magma.  Ben is a wonderful dog who loves to be with you wherever you go.  Toffee the cat is so cute and loved to sit in the sun house with me every morning.  The owners were so kind and caring from the moment I met them.  I am looking forward to another sit with them in the future.  I highly recommend staying in their beautiful comfortable home watching their easy to care for loving fur babies.
