Steve and Cindy were super house sitters. They sent photos of my pets and showered them with plenty of attention. The house was left in great shape. We had

I have had pleasure of having Stephen and Cindy as my neighbor for the last few years. At home I have a black cat who's very tidy, and needs to be brushed and played to satiate her curiosity and need for affection. I've had quite few travels for business and pleasure, and they have always been available to look after her. In the past I've attempted to place my cat in a boarding home before, but despite the beautiful facility and quality care, she was quite unhappy being away from home. With Stephen and Cindy I knew she was in good hands, as upon my return I would find her quite content, and she enjoys having their dog visit her as well. In their care there has never been any medical issues or emergencies, though I am sure they would have promptly addressed it in most professional manner given their years of experience. I trust both wholeheartedly, as does my cat. We both would recommend their expertise and compassion with any household and pets.
