He is able to stay out there in warm weather while sitter is gone. Basically, then, throughout the day, he will sleep, play, and go for a walk. No meds. He may head to his inside crate around 9/10pm. He must go out to garage crate to bathroom before bed.

We had a wonderful sit at Mary’s house with EJ. He’s such a cute, cuddly and, at times, comical dog. He loved to sit right next to one of us in a recliner, and sometimes in our laps. He also loves his walks and will play with his toys at times. When he gets “talking” he’s super vocal and expressive. He did wake us up very early each morning (Mary said it’s unusual) but she has a clever set up where he can run outside from the garage into a safe fenced area to use the bathroom. He then came back in and went back into his crate for the rest of the night. It was fine. Mary’s house is immaculate and located in a beautiful quiet, walkable neighborhood. We had beautiful weather and could sit outside, but even indoors with the patio door open we were serenaded with the sound of birds and chimes. So peaceful! She also has lots of outdoor furniture - even a hammock in the woods. We had a comfortable bedroom, and the home was spacious with everything we needed (TVs, appliances, workout room etc.) Internet speed tested at different times was 8 down/10 up and 25 down/8 up. I was able to work at the dining room table. Besides the pets we meet, one of the things we love about house sitting is the people we meet. Mary is a gracious host who made us feel welcome and appreciated, and like we’ve made a new friend. We recommend this sit.

I highly recommend this sit! Mary, and her little EJ are fantastic, as are the home and location! EJ quickly learns he’s safe and then is so eager to snuggle. He’ll enthusiastically talk to you about how much he likes it if he can stand in front of you and gently push his head into you, while you give him a back/side rub. It’s absolutely adorable and had me laughing out loud at times. EJ also delights in walks, car rides and wandering around the yard which is lined with beautiful, old trees. The neighborhood is walkable and Lake Michigan is close. Mary recommended the coffee shop, Kin, only a couple miles away, and she was spot on. Mary is a great communicator! She was so welcoming and ensured I had everything needed to care for EJ. It was a pleasure to talk with her over a yummy meal she prepared, the night before she left. The home is clean and the bed is comfy. The internet is fast, for remote work, throughout the home. I definitely hope for the opportunity to return sometime.

We had a wonderful time at Mary and EJ's home! They live in a picturesque area of Holland, Michigan which was very nice to walk through with EJ. He's a very intelligent and well behaved dog who can hike his toys between his legs like he's playing football! Mary gave clear instructions on his daily routines and feeding schedule. The house is spacious, well lit and had what we needed for a successful stay. On top of that she made a delicious dinner for us when we met and ate together. It was a fantastic first sit and got us hungry for more! Thanks Mary and EJ!

Sitting for EJ was a pleasure .Mary has a beautiful home in a comfortable neighbor leas. than a mile from Lake Michigan. EJ’s ability to follow your directions to care for him made my visit a joy. Mary welcomed me with a good tasting home cooked meal which provided leftovers for easy follow up meals. Mary went out of her way to provide what I needed and to give me clear directions on what EJ is usual treatment. I highly recommend staying with EJ in Mary’s beautiful home. EJ brought many smiles and laughter while playing with him, and his ability to be receptive to my needs was outstanding. Mary has set up EJ’s entrance and exit from the house in an easy to provide EJ’s needs to outside no matter the weather.

Janice did an excellent job watching EJ and my home while I was gone!! She even stayed several hours beyond as my flight was delayed. Her concern for EJ being left crated that long of a stay was much appreciated.
