Dog Sitting in Portapique

This was our second time using this service and once again, our house sitters did not disappoint. The house was spotless, all the furry and feathered critters are happy and were well cared for and dinner and dessert were even prepared for us for this evening! ❤️ They provided almost daily updates with pictures, always keeping us in the loop. They also went above and beyond by ensuring all our garden veges that were ripe and ready for picking were cleaned and frozen,(except for the ones they used to make us homemade salsa!) 😀 With 45 acres and a lot of furry and feathered friends, they handled each task like pros as they learned the day to day routine of our little hobby farm. Having said all that, I really know they did a spectacular job because after our pooch patrol greeted us late last night with a happy welcome home, they deserted us and went back down stairs to sleep with Chris and Meg for the night! 😆 That's when you know they did something right! ;) Thanks again Chris and Megan!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would Rick and Karen looked after my home and pets as though it was there own. So easy to deal with. Friendly helpful kind knowledgeable people. I went on holiday for the 1st time in years comfortable knowing my dogs my horse and my home were all in great hands. Highly recommend Rick and Karen to house sit.

Richard and Lorraine were fantastic house and petsitters, who kept our energetic puppy well entertained while we were away. In spite of the rising tide of pandemic fear, and a strong (and understandable) desire to head home to Canada, they made sure our pets were well cared for until our return. They kept us well informed with emails and photos, and were also just lovely people. I would invite them back with no reservations.

Shannon and Kendall were brilliant. A lovely couple who we enjoyed meeting. Really happy to have them looking after the house and dog. Communication pre and during the stay was really good. We Ruby dog got lots of attention and clearly loved them. Returned home to a happy dog, clean house and fantastic supper on the table. We would thoroughly recommend them. Top sitters.

Heather and Tim were fantastic. We came home to a very happy dog! We weren't worried about Ada while we were away as we got lots of updates. Also came back to a tidy flat which was lovely after a long flight. Throughout the whole process Heather and Tim were on their game. They had great questions during the interview and made us comfortable booking them so far in advance. They maintained contact coming up to the visit. We were never worried about Ada while away as we got lots of updates - when she got sick they kept us updated and her well looked after. Very friendly and easy to chat to! Thank you so much and welcome back any time!!

Trudie and Bill looked after Pip for 5 days and were very attentive to his needs. They have a senior dog so realised the extra work involved. They were very easy guests and gave Pip all the attention he needs in his old age. Many thanks to you both, we’d love to have you back again,

I was very glad to find Cathy as my cat and housesitter for my recent week away. Very organized, pragmatic and self sufficient, Kathy coordinated her schedule to fit mine and had read all my information in advance, making orientation easy and giving us time to get acquainted (including with Chernish!). Cathy was a good communicator and provided great daily photos/videos of Chernish. She had no problems giving his limited medication and I know she spent quality time with Chernish - including monitored outside time too. It was nice that she had a car and an interest in the area as well as French language skills - which put my mind at ease since I knew she would be able to manage anything that came up. As a plus, her background enabled her to help some of my struggling plants! The house was perfectly clean and exactly as I left it when I got back, and while we couldn't see each other in person - due to flight schedules - she left me detailed information upon my return. Thank you for coming across the pond for this sit (as well as several others in France), Cathy!

Thanks to Carolyn, our confidence was restored after a rather disappointing first experience. We confirmed the house sit with Carolyn just 3 weeks prior to our vacation as our first sitter had to cancel due to a medical emergency. During our first meeting we felt comfortable with Carolyne, she was professional, pleasant and very forth coming with the possibility she may need to cancel due to a personal situation. Given the short time till our vacation, we decided to confirm with the understanding we had a backup plan if needed. We were so lucky it all worked out, Carolyn was very independent, she had read the welcome package throughly and as such she was very prepared for the visit. She communicated with us as needed ( we didn't expect daily emails) with either questions and or updates and was quick to respond to any of our texts. We returned home late in the evening to a very clean and tidy house and a dog that was happy and well cared for. We would definitely invite Carolyn again and recommend her for house sits without hesitation.

Ginny & Ron are lovely people who understood what it meant to look after indoor cats with experience of sitting before. They were patience with us while we were getting ready to go on the Sunday morning with two small children to coordinate and when we accidentally left some perishables in the fridge in the rush to get out of the door. Generally everything was okay; we would have liked a bit more of a regular update with more photos but we knew the cats were okay which was the main thing. Our house was generally left clean, helped by our cleaner coming in each week but we would have appreciated them taking all the bins out in the diary schedule.

Pablo, from the outset was a breath of fresh air. He respected and cared for our home and 2 dogs for approximately 3weeks. He kept in touch and when we returned we could tell that the dogs had grown extremely fond of him, our home was clean, and our neighbor loved interacting with him. I would glady have him housesit again.
