A 5-Star Review

Julie and Tim were awesome taking care of our three dogs and house for a week while were were out of the country. We only posted our needs about three weeks prior to our departure and luckily Tim and Julie live close enough (a one hour drive) that they were able to fit us in there schedule! Julie was even nice enough to make the trip down and back several days before so she could see the house and meet our cocker spaniels (who took to her immediately!). She had already studied up on materials I had sent her, so she was ready with questions and very organized. On our departure day they arrived a few hours after we left and on our return, we arranged for them to leave a few hours before our return so they could beat the traffic home. While we were away they texted us regularly with updates and photos and it was obvious the dogs and they were getting along well. We have one shy, insecure dog, who doesn’t always take to new people, but he did just fine and competed with the others for lap space and attention! We live in a very hilly area but Julie and Tim are avid hikers so they enjoyed walking the dogs on our challenging roads and paths. We had some rain while away and the roof leaked a bit and the pool was threatening to overflow, both of which they contacted us about. They were even proactive and called the pool maintenance company just in case. On our return, the house was in perfect order, probably tidier than we left it, and linens and towels all washed, dried and folded, with beds made up. The dogs were happy of course to greet us, but since then, they have been looking around wondering where their new friends have gone! We were very lucky to find Julie and Tim and look forward to having them back! You will be lucky too if you engage them to take care of your pets and property!
