Our experience

10+ years

We both grew up with pets (dogs and cats) and have always had pets as adults too. We have our own two cats (Georgia, 5, and Freddie, 2) and have frequently house/pet sat for friends and family.

Katie & Ben looked after Jared Russo’s pets & home

Katie and I began as colleagues, and continue as friends. She is extremely professional and well organized. She is thoughtful, has great foresight, is an excellent problem solver and communicates clearly. She has looked after my apartment, she and her partner have looked after my house while I have taken vacations - including my 2 cats. She has always returned my accommodations to me in excellent condition and contacted me thoughtfully when needed and with great consideration. I find her to be an excellent and capable problem solver when any issues have arisen.

Why we want to house sit

We love to travel whenever we can - long trips and short ones - but we miss our fur babies while we're away! It's always wonderful to be able to give some of that love to other peoples' pets and at the same time help folx go away on their
