We made it home and hope you are on your way to your next adventure safely as well! Thank you so much for everything – the pups seem to be happy we are home but not too particularly overjoyed so they were obviously in good hands. 😊 And the house is in amazing condition… that was an unexpected bonus! You definitely went above and beyond our expectations and it was very much appreciated to come home and just be able to relax. Thanks again… it really means a lot to have someone we can trust, and we look forward to having you back in July! Ttys

Marylou is a fabulous pet-sitter and I would be happy to have her pet sit again! She is responsible, caring and patient.

We hired Marylou and Michael to pet sit my parents' 2 dogs while they went to California for Thanksgiving for a little over a week. Their profile and application was fantastic! My parents were so impressed that they hired them right on the spot - well after a a three hour "interview" LOL which was mostly just chatting about pets, caring for them and other house matters. They are very caring, responsible, and trustworthy. They did a great job taking care of their dogs as well as their home. They made my parents feel very comfortable and at ease. We video chatted with them several times and the dogs were having a ball! My parents were very uneasy and uncomfortable having "strangers" come into their home and take care of their dogs but Marylou and Michael made a very stressful situation a delightful experience for my parents and I will always be grateful to them for that. We will hire them again!

Marylou and Michael are wonderful housesitters, They helped us while we were away for two months. Not only are they kind and honest, they took care of our cat who is going through kidney and liver issues. I also have a million houseplants and they were able to water them properly. I would not hesitate to have them sit for us again and again! They were respectful of our home and left it like it was. I highly recommend them!

"I have a senior dog that needs some extra attention and they were fantastic! They sent me pictures while I was away. They made sure he was fed and received all of his medications. They were available last minute and even made time to stop by and introduce themselves before the job. They made it much easier to leave my fur baby because I knew he was in good hands!
