  To whom it may concern,
  My wife and I find ourselves visiting various children on occasion. This last month, while we were away Lisa and Gary stayed in our house. We met them prior to our departure and found them to be very outgoing and comfortable. During our absence we needed to communicate on several occasions and found them very responsive and willing to tackle any task.
  Upon our return we found our house cleaner than we left it and Gary even figured out the lawn mower with good results.
  We recommend this lovely couple with no reservations and would gladly have them back to caretake again.

  Gary and Lisa housitted for us in Madrid (Spain) for almost two weeks during Christmas and our experiece couldn´t be better! Our two cats Paco and Lola miss them so much now!
  
  Our cats were happier when we arrived compared to other times we went away. The house was cleaner than when left and the two weeks we were away we were very relaxed knowing that our house was safe and, more important, our pets too!
  
  They sent us constant updates and pictures of the Paco and Lola so we knew everything was perfect everyday. They even bought us a new kitchen rug and left us a European guide!
  
  This was our fourth housesitting experience, we love it so much and we want to keep doing it hoping to find someone as nice, fun, loving and trusting as they are (or with them again if possible!)
  
  We got the feeling we not only made this "contact", we made friends. We totally recommend them!

  It is hard to describe all that Gary and Lisa gave us and our cats. Initially, we had some question about our travel dates because of Steve's medical problems. Gary and Lisa were aware of possible date changes or cancellation. They were accepting of that issue which made it more comfortable for us. We did have to make some date changes, but they were very accommodating.
  When Gary and Lisa arrived at our house, they seemed like old friends. They were so helpful to us; they drove us 2 hours to BOS-we usually have to take a bus. While we were away, Lisa emailed me almost daily about our cats. They were self sufficient and didn't have questions from us about the house or our area. I never worried about any issues about the cats or the house while we were away.
  They met us at the airport and made our trip home easy. When we got home, our yard and cellar were clean! Our car was clean! Our cats were happy! They had taken better care of our house than we do!
  When Gary and Lisa drove away, I felt a sense of loss. They are both very special people who had come into our lives and were moving along. The high level of care they provide as "house/pet sitters" is simply a function of who they are. Steve and I feel blessed to have gotten to know Gary and Lisa and our cats, Ivan and Koko agree!
