Joseph took care of our cat and house-sat for us for 2 weeks. In advance of our trip, we were able to do both a virtual and in-person meet and greet to ensure everyone felt comfortable and do a walk through of the house, which we really appreciated.While we were away, Joseph responded quickly to texts/any questions we sent and provided photo and text updates every 1-2 days. Upon our return, our cat seemed happy. Unfortunately, the day of our return, Joseph accidentally locked himself out of our house. He communicated with us and we were able to provide him access to a backup key. However, when we returned home about an hour and a quarter later, we were surprised to find that he was still there (he was supposed to have left much earlier in the day before we arrived home, and we knew he was running a little behind because of the lockout, but he didn’t tell us he would still be there when we walked in). He texted us that the house was clean and ready for us, but unfortunately the house was not clean and the cat litter boxes were quite smelly and appeared not to have been changed or scooped in many days. While we realize that getting locked out of the house created some delays in getting packed and tidying the house, we were upset to find the kitty litter in that state and for the clear disorganization, at least in the final day. We provided this feedback directly to Joseph and hope that this was a one-time experience. However, we would urge clear communication around any expectations for cleaning, communication, and care.

Ilana took care of our house and Bubba, our11 year old Bishon for a week. She did a wonderful job from start to finish and we would love to have her back in the future (and so would Bubba!) She communicated daily with us, sent pictures of Bubba and we were quite at ease the entire time we were gone. We returned to an immaculately clean and tidy home. And I know that Bubba misses her already by the way he is acting! Thank you Ilana, and do stop in anytime you are in the area!
Ilana was our first house sitter through this service and because of her exemplary performance, we can highly recommend her and the web service.

Ryan stayed with us for a week in May, looking after our Burmese cat Jessica.  Ryan is a great communicator, has fabulous stories to share, is well travelled and a totally trustworthy house sitter.  Jessica was expertly looked after, he spent time with her and made her feel totally looked after.  I would love to see Ryan again and would highly recommend him for your sit.

Michael and Diane have built their dream and it was a wonderful experience to spend a week in their space. Really a special place. The horses are great and easy to care for, the cats are cool, chickens take care of themselves. Michael and Diane are kind and thoughtful hosts and it was great to get to know them a bit as well before they left on their trip. Would happily watch over the place again, and I'd recommend it without reservation if you get the chance.

Louise
This three weeks sit was amazing. I loved and enjoyed everything about it. Louise’s comfortable and well equipped home is located in the shadow of the Lake District, and is surrounded by a tree and plant filled large garden which is so delightful to walk around with Mini the Pomeranian. Walks are also enjoyable along the disused canal which skirts the property and extends out into the countryside beyond.
Louise’s family are warm and inviting and extremely generous and they were so happy and grateful of my looking after Mini while they relaxed into their holiday.
It was easy to form a bond with Mini and we enjoyed lots of walks and fun together. She was only 7 months when I sat for her and still learning but she never put a paw wrong except for cheekily running off with one of my socks occasionally lol.
If I have a chance to sit again I will accept in a flash!
