We love THS and how it allows us to connect with people and their pets! We enjoy sitting for friends and family and we've had animals for most of our lives.

I have known Cathy and Jim Leonard for three years and couldn't recommend them more enthusiastically. They are mature, reliable, honest and thoroughly trustworthy individuals. Several months ago they stayed in my NYC apartment while I was on a vacation in Italy and took care of my two felines during my absence. They communicated with me regularly about their care and feeding, often with accompanying photographs, and any issues with the apartment. When I returned home Jesse and Lyra had clearly been well taken care of and the apartment, to my slight embarrassment, was cleaner than it was when I left it. I expect to be traveling in May and early June of 2023 and I have asked them, and they have agreed, to look after my family once again. I couldn't be happier to have them back.

Why we want to house sit

Would like to combine our skills of caring for pets and other people’s homes with our desire to travel. This is a unique opportunity to explore new areas and live like a local.
