Jody and Dennis were are first pet sitters on TH and we chose well! They are energetic, professional and very knowledgeable about how dog behavior and keeping training / rules consistent. Our home was neat and clean when came back. We hope they will stay with us again!
Thanks to Lisa and family for making me feel so welcome and having easy to follow written instructions and a verbal handover. We communicated daily and I had a giggle trying to get decent photos of all the pets to send. Loved the stay, as West St.Leonards is authentic English seaside, with Hastings just down the road for a change of pace. Lots of places to walk. Best of all, the pets are sweethearts. So easy to care for, love cuddles and Abby ( the dog) lets you know where she likes to walk and which cafe has doggie treats.
This was a great house sit. Noodle the cat was well behaved and friendly. Tommye, the owner, had everything prepared for me and instructions were clear. Location was great and convenient to downtown Sarasota, Lido key and the beach. I would be happy to house sit there again.
Sorry you had to cut your recent camping holiday short, due to serious weather warnings and conditions. It was a delight to look after Ruby. Ruby has such a lovely nature and a beautiful soul. Such a good dog. She was always happy to play 'fetch' or 'tug-of-war' in the backyard at any time of day. What a character! Thank you for making us feel 'right at home' on our arrival. You have a beautiful home that is close to all amenities, in a beautiful part of the world.
Sally was very straightforward and left easy and clear instructions. Goody was very easy to care for. He comes in and out of the house on his own, very independent and his fur is SO soft to pet ❤️ The backyard seems to be a nice place to chill during summer. House has lots of great natural light. Parking on the street was a little complicated depending on what time I’d come home from work. I do recommend the sit!
Kevin and Lisa are excellent hosts and I enjoyed my sit with Skye. Their are exceptionally generous, kind, thoughtful, and were always available for calls/text before, during, and after my sit. Their house is in a lovely neighborhood and on a bike boulevard - very pedestrian and bicycle friendly. I enjoyed seeing all the bicyclists pass by in the morning while having my coffee on their front porch. The house itself is light and the backyard is a nice “Mediterranean-style” arrangement with overhead vines providing shade from the afternoon sun and a great setup for reading or enjoying a beverage as the temperature cools off. Excellent park just a block away and very easy to spend time at their home. The neighbors are lovely and very helpful people and met me for checkin (due to a schedule change, I arrived after Kevin and Lisa left on their trip). A comprehensive house guide, along with instructional videos was appreciated and answered all my questions and made arrival a breeze. Caring for Skye is really a treat - she’s well-trained, friendly, easy-going, and loves her walks. She received many compliments from other dog owners on my walks and is beloved by all that know her! My only regret is that I didn’t get more outside time with her because… Unfortunately, Skye became ill during my sit (upper respiratory infection) which required two visits to the emergency vet and a 2 nights stay for antibiotics and care. Kevin and Lisa were awesome, always available to provide guidance (even at 2am or 7am their local time) and were solely focused on Skye’s care and my comfort as a sitter. Their neighbor was also available to help with logistics and vet payments and provided support during both vet visits. Thank you for being great hosts and I hope that Skye is healthy soon!
Sean was so kind and welcoming. Creamsicle was so cute! Nyack was a beautiful place to stay
