Our experience

We have acted as inn-sitters for a local bed and breakfast establishment on several occasions in the past. We lived in the owners’ apartment and took care of their elderly indoor cat, as well as feeding the local feral cat population

I have known Dave and Julia for over 10 years. They are personable, flexible and would be easy to work with. As a trained veterinarian and animal lover, Julia is well qualified to take care of pets. They are both very resourceful, having renovated many homes. So, if anything were to go wrong while you were away, I am confident they would be able to figure out the right thing to do. Dave and Julia are also very respectful of people and possessions. They would follow your "house rules" and treat your property as if it were their own. You couldn't do better than to have Dave and Julia as house sitters.
