  This was my first time with Trusted House Sitters and I couldn't be happier with Alison and Axel. They took really good care of our dog Violet taking her for longer walks than she ever gets with us and we came home to a very happy dog. The house was spotless. They cleaned and tidied better than I do. Alison's family is from Cobourg so she knew the area really well. I hope we might have them back in the future, and I highly recommend this wonderful couple. Our neighbours met them and also thought they were wonderful.

  Many thanks Solveig and Randy for such a warm welcome to their comfortable home. We were introduced to neighbours on our first evening and were invited to join their walking group twice a week. Violet was a great companion, came with us whereever we went and was very very good! We miss her already and wouldn't hesitate to look after her again! Being able to use the car while Solveig and Randy were away was a great bonus.

  Alison and Axel was a godsend! They cared for my pets and home for about 32 days. While I was away they sent me photos of my cats and kept me posted on their activities. When I returned the house was cleaner than I had left it and they even did a few maintenance things that needed to be done. Since they are in the hospitality field I should of known they would keep things nice. During their time here they connected with my friends group, joined the church and even helped out with church's fundraisers. The community just fell in love with them! I can't wait to have back here again and best of all my two cats were comfortable with Alison and Axel.

  Our stay in Nova Scotia was destined to be great right from day one - Debra picked us up at the airport in Halifax and arranged for friends to come over and meet us that evening. She also made sure there was plenty of information and broschures about the area and Nova Scotia as well as listings of local events that were going on while we were there. We were made to feel very welcome by everyone. The cats were very sweet and easy going. They loved to play with their toys! Bridgewater is about a 15-20 minute drive away and has everything you need. We really appreciated having the use of the car to get around the South Shore area. It was such a pleasure to house-sit for Debra and we wouldn't hesitate to go back.

  Alison and Axel arrived a couple days early so we could get to know them! We had never used trusted house sitters before, so we were quiet hesitant! Alison and Axel were wonderful so easy to talk to and very helpful before we left for vacation. Our pets loved them especially bear our dog, they took him for walks and for rides in the car! Unfortunately they both ended up getting very sick while we were gone, but they handled everything in spite of being sick! The house was ,clean and the pets very well taken care! They ended up staying with us a couple extra days after we returned just to be healthy enough to fly. Would definitely recommend them!

  Blackduck is definately a beautiful place - we had plenty of snow and lots of sunshine. Having use of a vehicle was a big plus since distances are great in Minnesota, and the house in a lovely isolated spot. The pets were so easy going and friendly, it was a delight to have their company. Sandra made sure we had contacts for anything that might go wrong while they were away, and when we got sick they were a big help to us. Sandra and her husband were so kind as to drive us three hours in the middle of the night to get us to our ongoing flights in the early morning. Thanks again!
