Nick and Laura were awesome with the dogs! We asked to say goodbye in person, and when they got back, all three pups were so happy to see them. The house was

Nicholas & Laura looked after Jeanine S.’s pets & home

Laura and Niko took excellent care of my home, my dog, my garden and my chickens while I was out of country for 3 weeks. My dog was (at that time) still recovering from surgery so he needed and received that extra care. Niko even helped my dog stop an annoying jumping up behavior. I came home to a thriving garden, happy dog and happy chickens which after a long trip was the best kind of return. Laura and Niko were reliable, good communicators with regular dog updates and very respectful of my home. They were excellent home and pet sitters.

Why we want to house sit

As people who live while slowly traveling around the world, staying in a new place is most comfortable for us when we can come 'home' to a furry or feathered friend - or two - or more! Connecting with new animals, spaces, plants and
