This is definitely one of our favorite sits! Bruce and Katherine's charming house sits right on the water and it's wonderful to sit and watch the tide come in and out, and the gulls fishing. Chester is a real sweetheart and loves his tummy rubbed. Bruce and Katherine were first time users of House Sitters and were delightful to deal with, and provided ample information and helpful contacts. Hull and neighboring Hingham are lovely seaside spots with interesting shops, a great farmer's market and lots of wonderful places to eat.

Overall, the experience was OK. However, one serious matter involved, our dog going upstairs and peeing in two bedrooms and leaving poop. Whether Karen remembers us telling her to restrict the dog or not, she should’ve checked up there and other areas of the house before leaving. This was brand new carpeting that fortunately I was able to clean.
