Best vacation must have a leash😁
Pet care experience
Hello! We are a very active happily married couple who’ve been together for 26 years. Jim is retired after working as a police Lieutenant for 25 years, and Natasha works remotely as a graphic and landscape designer. We lost our beloved pup Paco 4 years ago after having him for 16 years. All of our friends tell us they want to come back as our dog! We love dogs and cats. The worst thing about traveling is not being around pets. Our dream is to visit the world holding a leash:) We love to travel for a week plus exploring the world. We look forward to being with lovely pets in neat and clean homes and making new friends. We do not board pets in our home.

I have known Jim & Natasha Commander both professionally and personally for over 25 years. I had the good fortune to know them as they were parents to the very special Paco, who under their love, devotion and absolute care lived well past his expectancy. Following Paco's passing, Jim and Natasha began fostering dogs (from pocket-pit Darla to energetic Muddy to Great Dane sized Enzo and so many lucky fur babies in between. I can without a doubt recommend Jim and Natasha to care for your home as if it were their own (which is impeccable and amazing) and to care for any sweet pup on earth! They are extraordinary humans who continue to inspire me and all who meet them! Kind regards, Caroline
Natasha and Jim are neighbors of ours and one reason why we love them so much is because they are huge animal lovers. We call them our dog's "Godparents." :) We adopted a pit bull mix rescue five years ago (Murphy). He initially showed signs of aggression and we were strongly encouraged to "give him back." We refused to do that and instead focused on socializing him and loving him. Natasha and Jim became his daily walkers and they are really the ones who brought out the amazing, lovable dog that we are so lucky to have. They also watch him EVERY time we go away. This past summer they had him for three weeks. They love him unconditionally and I cannot say enough about them as people or friends. I have never met more selfless, generous people. Quite honestly, you'd be hard pressed to find more responsible, CARING caregivers. Five stars across the board!
Natasha watches our house, dog, and cats every time we go away. She's extremely responsible and our animals just adore her. She loves taking our dog, Pilot, for long walks. Animals always listen to Natasha and are very receptive to her.
I am the dog walker coordinator for a local dog rescue at which Natasha and Jim have been volunteering for 2 years. In addition to walking dogs they have taken dogs on day trips and fostered several dogs. They are compassionate, reliable and I have absolutely no reservations in recommending them as pet/house sitters. I have not had the need yet but I would not hesitate asking them to pet/house sit for me.
