Responsibilities

We have two dogs and two cats. Lincoln a dachshund and is the newest member of our family. He was born in September 2020, and while he is young - he is very smart and learning new things every day. Otis is an Aussie born in July 2019. We feed the dogs at the same time, but Lincoln is very food motivated and Otis has a laissez faire attitude about food. The dogs are very fond of their dog door and let themselves in and out as they please and need. It is not necessary to take them out or for walks - though you are welcome to do so and the neighborhood is very conducive for going on walks. The cats have an automatic feeder. Their litter box must be cleaned out daily. The water bowls need to be kept full of fresh water. We have our house sitters bring in the mail and packages each day.

Mica and Shannon have a lovely, comfortable home. Otis and Lincoln were at a sleepover at their grandparent’s house, so we only had Churchill and Donner to take care of. They were very shy at first, but after a couple of days they came out for scratches and cuddles. We would highly recommend a sit for Mica, Shannon, and their kids.

🏡 House-Sitting Bliss for Mica and Shannon's Haven! 🌟 Our recent house-sitting experience for Mica and Shannon's beautiful abode was nothing short of a delight! From the moment we stepped through the front door to the day we bid farewell, every aspect of this house-sit reflected the warmth and coziness that makes a house a home. It was so good to be in a nice warm house as the weather has been freezing! 🐾 Furry Friends Churchill and Donner: Purrfection! 🐱🐱 Taking care of Churchill and Donner, the two charming feline companions, was an absolute joy. They did take 3 days to finally come our of hiding to spend time with us, but they are lovely and gentle and the kids loved them. 🏠 Maintaining the Sanctuary: 🌺 Respecting the sanctity of Mica and Shannon's space was our top priority. We ensured that every nook and cranny of the house remained in impeccable condition, to keeping the living spaces tidy, we treated their home as if it were our own. 💫 Peace of Mind for Homeowners: 🗝️ Our goal was to provide Mica and Shannon with complete peace of mind during their time away, and we are pleased to say that their trust in us was well-placed. Regular updates were shared, keeping them connected to their home even from afar. 🌟 Communication and Flexibility: 🤝 Effective communication was the cornerstone of our house-sitting arrangement. Any questions or concerns were promptly addressed, and we maintained flexibility to accommodate any unexpected needs that arose. Our aim was to make Mica and Shannon's time away as stress-free as possible. 🌈 A Homecoming to Smiles: 😊 As the house-sit came to a close, we ensured that everything was returned to its original order, creating a seamless transition for Mica and Shannon upon their return. 🙏 Gratitude to Mica and Shannon: 🌼 We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mica and Shannon for entrusting us with the care of their cherished home and beloved pets. It was an honor to contribute to the serenity of their haven, and we look forward to the possibility of future house-sitting adventures. ⭐️ Five-Star Experience – Highly Recommended! ⭐️ Cheers to a wonderful house-sitting experience filled with laughter, purrs, and the genuine warmth of a well-loved home.

From the interview until saying the final goodbye, this was an ideal house/pet sitting experience. The dogs, Otis and Lincoln, are well-behaved and listen to commands. They thrive on receiving attention and enjoy both playtime and relaxation time. The doggie door that leads into the secure backyard is used readily and often by Otis and Lincoln. The cats, Donner and Churchill, are easygoing and almost maintenance-free. They, too, enjoy attention as long as it's on their terms and timing (like most cats I know). The four members of this furry family get along well and are fun to watch as they interact and entertain one another. The household is structured and runs smoothly based on the routines established by Mica and Shannon. Just follow the simple directions given by the owners, and your sit will be enjoyable and worry-free. The house is beautiful, and the sitter's room and ensuite bathroom are comfortable and well stocked with most anything you might need, including a variety of chargers for electronic devices! The kitchen is perfect for making almost any meal you could desire with a variety of pots, pans, bakeware, mixing bowls, colanders, utensils, dinnerware, etc. A large grocery store is about 2 miles away and readily accessible by car or rideshare service. Since this is a college town, rideshares are easy to come by if you don't have a vehicle of your own. There is a storm shelter in case of a tornado warning, which is a nice feature if needed! The house is in a nice neighborhood where the neighbors wave hello as they drive or walk by. I felt very much at home during this sit, and I hope to be able to return in the future.

I really enjoyed my sit in Dallas, Mica was so welcoming and was very thorough in explaining the responsibilities prior to the sit and upon my arrival. “The boys” Lincoln, Otis, Churchill and Donner were all so wonderful and I miss them already! I did not have a car, but with grocery delivery available and plenty of ride share options, it was not required. If you’re looking to explore the Dallas area, look no further, this beautiful apartment has a resort style pool and courtyard, is in a quiet neighborhood and is about 10 minutes from downtown Dallas and 25 minutes from DFW. Gracious and welcoming hosts and lovely pets, you can’t ask for more!

Robert & Alean took exceptional care of our fur kids and our home. We couldn’t have been any more pleased with the quality of their sit, communication, and trust. They even earned the attention of the cats! Thank you both so much for taking such great care of our home!
