Tim and Ellie took great care of our two older dogs and our home for the week they stayed with them. Our dogs have some minor issues requiring medications and special food and I had no concerns at all after meeting Tim and Ellie. They were intentional about sending regular updates and pictures and were great at communicating with questions, updates and any issues that came up during the stay. Sam and Frodo loved them right away on the initial greeting/check-in and were their normal happy selves when I returned from my trip. I would definitely recommend Tim and Ellie and hope to be able to add them to our regular sitters list.

These two are such incredibly kind, responsible, people- the only ones we trust with our furry child. We could leave for two weeks for Europe and not spend a moment worrying about our dog or our house, something I never thought was possible. They sent daily updates and photos, took her to her favorite places, and left the house so clean/well taken care of. Thank you guys for everything and loving on our sweet girl, you’ve been such a blessing.
