Art stayed at our home for the month of September in 2018, taking great care of our much loved cat, Scoochie. We could not possibly recommend anyone higher. He sent texts and fun photos to keep us updated on how they were getting along (famously). Art kept the house in top shape, going above and beyond anything we’d experienced with other sitters. Never have all our plants flourished. We wouldn’t hesitate to have him back again. He is a rare find!

Why we want to house sit
