Dog Sitting in Mattei

The only down side about having George and Larissa and their wonderful children stay in your home and look after your beloved pets is that you are on holiday and don't get to spend time with them! They are AMAZING! From the minute they arrived (we had a half hour cross over) we felt completely confident and relaxed about leaving. We received daily photos and updates on our lively labrador, careful and considerate questions about taking care of our home (all houses have their quirks and its difficult to leave precise instructions about everything), stories and anecdotes about our dog and what she was doing and how she was interacting with the children (I believe there were tears when they left); and in addition to regular Trusted Houseitting duties the family also looked after our Airbnb and interacted with our guests and looked after them perfectly - all of our guests left 5* reviews and all mentioned Larissa and George as their 'wonderful hosts'. When we got home everything was exactly as we left it plus some extra goodies had been left for us to help us settled in after a long flight. This is a family who are stepping out into the world and doing 'life' in what many would consider a non-conventional way - but that means they are very experienced travellers, quick to hit the ground running when they arrive and 100% adorable. Don't hesitate - say yes!

It was easy to have Melinda stay with Nalah while I was out of cell service for a few days. When I came home, I was excited to see that she had found Nalah's cat tunnel (one of her favorite toys), so I know Nalah got plenty of attention and care. Would be happy to have Melinda back again.

We met Robert and Jolene for the first time when they came to housesit and care for our dog, Gator. Upon meeting them, they absorbed the information we were sharing with them and were relaxed and self-assured. Throughout our vacation, we received many photos and texts about Gator. When we returned home Gator looked very well cared for and content and the house was meticulously clean. Our pond was in great shape and our koi looked very happy - well, as happy as a fish can look! We hope that Jolene and Robert will come back in the future. We feel like we've made new friends.

Terri and her sons were absolutely wonderful! My pets were happy and healthy and I came home to my apartment looking even better than I had left it. Would highly recommend having Terri look after your pets!

Jessica and her companion looked after Conni, my cocker spaniel, for five days. From the moment of first making contact to the end of the sit, Jessica communicated in a clear and timely way. On arrival she was keen to know all of Conni's routines and on my return Conni was clearly very happy and settled, which is exactly what I wanted to return to. I would be very happy to recommend her to others.

Brooke was so lovely to communicate with. She had a warm, grounded energy and was very responsive to us and our animals. Brooke sent us little updates about how the animals were doing while we were away, which put me at ease. Would definitely have her sit again!

Sunshine loves Kelly and Alan! This is the second time Kelly and Alan have taken care of Sunshine. They are so sweet. The communication before, during and after their sit was great. They sent updates and pictures. They met with our neighbor who they will be petsitting for and Sunshine didn't leave their side. It was so nice not to worry how my pup was doing during my vacation and knowing they were taking care of her, the house and everything was ok. I feel so lucky to have met them (I was referred by good friends who they sat for their pup too) and hope it works out that they can come back again. Sunshine really loved them and wasn't anxious when I got home. The house also was spotless. Thank you Kelly and Alan! See you in October when you watch Winston. Keep in touch if you ever want to come back to our home too. Hopefully we can walk when you are here in a couple months! Bobbi and Sunshine

Chris, Lacey and family were great sitters. Our home was probably cleaner than we left it, and our cats were relaxed and happy. They made an extra effort to meet us for an in person walk through in advance. Grateful to have them stay and would happily have them back.

We are so grateful to Lisa for taking such good care of the animals while we were away! Everyone was relaxed and stress-free when we got home, and the place was clean and tidy. We’d have her back to stay again in a heartbeat.

Another great sitter! Abdenour applied to my last minute sitting request, and he delivered. Abdenour was prompt, asked a lot of good questions and didn't hesitate to let me know if he needed anything. The place was spotless when I came home I also appreciated the pet video updates! Thank you Abdenour!
