Joyce and Chris Smith house and pet Sat for us for a week in December. We have a rowdy 5 year old terrier and a perky but somewhat needy 17 year old labradoodle. Our house is almost 100 years old. Chris and Joyce have maintenance and construction experience so we trusted they could handle any issues that may arise with the house, and they have a lot of experience with pets. They were on time, friendly, professional and did a great job! When we got home they had washed sheets and towels and remade the bed, AND made us cookies! Def recommend them.

Why we want to house sit

We know how it feels when our dog, Amos, is staying with friends or family while we are away. We know he is getting lots of love, attention, and walks. We want you to feel the same, knowing that your pets are safe, happy and having a great
