Dog Sitting in Timberlane

Cindy was great! She’s pretty easygoing and the dog a really liked her. We would definitely recommend her.

What a joy and an honor it was to have Phyllis and Jerry care for my home and my pets. I could write an epistle to describe in detail how much they did and how well they accomplished each responsibility. Our correspondence began many months ahead of my posted dates. Throughout this time, we stayed connected, and as we got closer, we shared more details about my home and care for the pets. Response time was prompt, friendly and courteous. They were incredibly flexible and understanding when I had to adjust my flight time and date. They arrived early on my departure day so we could have time for orientation, lunch, and conversation. Phyllis and Jerry were meticulous in following the instructions I left for cat and home care. They were dedicated to assuring me that things at home were going well by sending pictures of the cats included with special vignettes. They were respectful of my home and took great care of everything as if it were their own. For example, when the hose unexpectedly burst in the back yard on a hot day, they carried water in a bucket to my young Arbor Vitae trees. They are the kind of people who go the “extra mile” based on their high values and elevated work ethics. When I returned home, everything was glistening and spotless. The carpets had been vacuumed, the laundry completed, the dishwasher and waste baskets emptied, the stove shined, and the kitty litter was scooped and cleaned. My fur babies were happy and relaxed, an indication that they had excellent care while I was away. A delightful surprise was the colorful Autumn gift basket and note they left on the counter. I highly recommend Phyllis and Jerry in every way. They exceeded my expectations and fulfilled every task. They are friendly, enthusiastic, and fun to be around, and both have had a wide variety of experiences that translate into good common sense and wise decisions. It was truly my privilege to have the opportunity to meet them and to benefit from all they had to offer me, my home, and my cats.

Clare is an absolute star, very clearly a genuine cat lover and she kept the kitties very well cared for and happy during the week we were away. We had really great communication, she was helpful, responsive, flexible and committed. We were so happy to have Clare and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a house sitter. We would love to welcome her back in the future if the opportunity arises. Very grateful to Clare and thanks to her we were able to really relax on holiday knowing the cats were content and settled.

Emily and Chris were exceptional housesitters. We shared dinner with them the night before our departure and found them delightful, smart and caring people. When we were away they sent sweet photos, one of which Chris was petting our blissfully happy senior cat. Upon our return the house was very clean, the kitties relaxed and a gift of coffee from them! We would be so happy to have them sit for us again in the future!

We booked Joanne and Rick in January. We had a great interview and booked them at that time. I kept in touch through the next couple of months. Joanne was very responsive and a great communicator. When they showed up at the scheduled time, we hit it off right away. Indy was very 'taken' with Joanne and I knew it was going to be fine. I asked for a picture or two each day. They took Indy on hikes almost everyday and I got great photos of him and the beautiful scenery. The house was just as I left it, neat and tidy. It was a pleasure to have them stay in our house. I felt that it was going to be a good sit and it was. I would definitely recommend Joanne and Rick and would have them back any time.

Edie and Bob were great house sitters, great communication prior to the sit and during - they sent a daily photo of Moose, they were really friendly, the house was clean and tidy upon our return and Moose seemed to have a great time with them and settled himself with both pf them (clearly giving no bothers we were away!!) Would happily recommend these guys to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly couple. Hope you may be able to sit again for us in the future xx

Heather was a wonderful housesitter. From our first FaceTime meeting to a virtual walk through of the house before we left for our trip, she was attentive to details about Cinnamon and the house. She was reliable and left the house in great shape. We could tell by the pics, texts and note she left for us that she connected with our quirky cat. We would highly recommend her.

We were very lucky & thrilled to be able to welcome back Jim & Lana to look after our three boys and the house for a second time and for our longest trip away so far (5 weeks). It is a real pleasure when away for such an extended period (for us at least) to have the comfort of knowing the boys are happy and the house cared for. Even better to come home to chilled doggies & a clean house. Jim & Lana are great communicators, very experienced with property & pets and lovely people, who again made us feel at ease and definitely bonded with our boys. No surprise at all that they have so many fantastic reviews on top of ours and we absolutely recommend them, while also hoping that our future vacation plans and their commitments coincide again and we can welcome them back. Thank you both x

Sandra was an excellent sitter - we came back to a happy contented cat, a spotless house and a lovely welcome home card and message. Sandra sent us daily photos and updates on Ziggy which we greatly appreciated. I hope Sandra can cat sit for us again and I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Theresa was great at communicating, asking for clarification when it was needed and for keeping our home in good shape. She sent photos of our cats, & spoke lovingly about them. You'd be lucky to have her at your home!
