KEVIN
We absolutely loved our stay looking after Winston (aka Fluffy). He is the most sweetest and happiest dog. Winston was our best friend from the moment we met him, we enjoyed our time with him and we both said we wished we could have taken him home with us.
Kevin is a great host and made us feel very welcome in his home.  He provided us with detailed  instructions on the care of Fluffy and his home. He was easy to reach if we had any questions.
Kevin's home was perfect., it had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We have vacationed in Palm Springs area on several occasions but had never stayed in La Quinta Cove. It is now my favorite place to stay. The landscape is beautiful, there is a paved trail practically out the door that is right by the mountains to take Fluffy out for his walks. The location is great as it is near hiking trails, pickleball courts and old town La Quinta. Very cool neighbourhood. 
Thankyou Kevin for choosing us to be your first house sitters and to look after Winston. We highly recommend this sit and would return in a heartbeat to look after Winston again.

​Pepper and Conor and Mango were the friendliest of hosts during my stay in July 2017. Their beautiful family home is spacious and situated in a choice neighbourhood with every amenity to hand. There are lovely walks to be enjoyed on foot from the front door in parkland, along the pretty Armitage Water and up the Braid Hills. If keeping fit is your thing, then Pepper will keep you in check: we would be up Blackford Hill before breakfast and clock up an average of 15km a day! I look forward to a routine visit.

Sweet Charlotte was a true dear. Such good company, and so beautiful. Very easy to care for. Orin’s home was very comfortable. The location was perfect. Everything was close, with lots of great walking trails. Thanks for a pleasant week!

Krista
I was the lucky winner of this sit. Krista is super organized, their home very comfortable with great views of the golf course, and killer sunsets.
But the bonus is the bestest fur babies :), both Felix and Gingersnap are super chill cats, they let me sleep in and were on the quiet side. I especially fell in love with Ginger, we spend lots of time together "working" on the computer, when I went to the kitchen Ginger would quickly steal my hot spot, a classic, sooo cute.
I also had the chance to have my Mom over for a special birthday dinner, thank you Krista....  pleeeease call on me any time, I will be there in a flash.

Matt
We really enjoyed this mountain sit. Matt and Jeannie were very welcoming and interesting to talk with, they know the area well and took us on a tour the night before they left and provided a binder with lots of local information. Matt responded quickly to any questions and was easy to communicate with. Their home is very comfortable with a well stocked kitchen, and the guest room is sunny and warm with a bathroom right next door.  There is a TV room, and lots of outdoor space to enjoy.
Beau is a fun cat who likes company and was always  outside the door to greet us in the morning. He spent the evenings with us on the sofa. He lets you know when he wants out and in and was easy to care for. 
If you enjoy the outdoors and a mountain setting this is a great housesit.

Sitting for Jenny was such a pleasure. She's very responsive over the app and getting in was a breeze. I really appreciated her flexibility with allowing my mom to stay with me during the sit.

The Cats!

Kimchi and Kobe are so curious, they love offerings of bags, and  practically anything you set down, it's theirs now, not yours! You're going to fall in love with their antics. I miss Kobe's kneading of the blankets in the morning and Kimchi's flips and twirls! You can tell from their healthy coats that they're cared for and doted on. I especially love how even-tempered they are. It was so nice to just vibe with them. Kobe is a cuddler, so make sure you have a day or two when you're home and relaxing. He'll lay right with you. Kimchi might need a second more to get used to you, but man, she's a lover too.

These cats play HARD! I was amazed seeing Kimchi flip and leap through the air! They woke me up one night with their acrobatics, so during my stay, we had one playtime before bed to tucker all of us out! There isn't a divider for the bedroom and it's the way for them to get their litter and water in the office, so at night, I had them chase the toys all around the apartment. Kimchi loves jumping and flying high and Kobe likes hunting toys under furniture. It's a treat. Use a long wand toy and they'll go ballistic.

Their routine is super easy and minimal and I got the hang of it when day 2 rolled around. The guide Jenny left was helpful and clear for me to follow.

Feeding was super simple, but they, like any pet, caneat too fast and get sick. If it does happen, check in with Jenny and feed them half of their portion of food, wait a few minutes, then feed them the other half. It takes a little more time, but it's worth it.

My nicknames for these peanuts were Lil' Kim (like the rapper) and Koko.

The Space!

I really appreciated Jenny's preparation of the apartment for my stay. It was clean and clutter- free, yet filled with books to read through. I love her sense of style. My mom was so inspired in her space! We both have ideas on how we want to elevate our own spaces!

The Location!

Jenny's location is top notch. This was my first time in Brooklyn and I loved it. The apartment is located steps away from a bus stop, tons of cafés and restaurants, large parks and weekend markets. It's a vibe down there! It feels much more home-y than where I usually am visting in midtown Manhattan. I really want to explore this space more!

All in all, I would jump at the chance to sit for Jenny again. Highly recommended for folks that love a quieter NYC vibe. 

Thank you for making us feel at home!
