Campbell River BC, July 2023

Doug and Johanne are wonderful people who bring so much experience and enthusiasm to their house and pet sitting. It was a pleasure to meet them and hear about their many adventures. And thank you for doing such a fantastic job – our house was spotless and Sheena was well loved and happy. We plan to stay in touch!

This was our first experience with house sitters. We really had a great experience with Doug and Johanne. They made us feel comfortable immediately and we knew that we could trust them with our home and pets. I feel as if on the course of a week we have made some new found friends.

Doug and Johanne arrived at our house  and the dogs took to them right away. With four dogs and three of them being rescues, it was quite a big commitment but this did not deter Doug and Johanne from quickly grasping the task in hand, and we did notice that our most vulnerable elderly rescue dog who is very sensitive, was at ease and reassured, with their presence. 
This enabled us to relax and enjoy our break. We returned to a lovely cooked lunch before our “jetsetters” shot off to prepare for another sit. 
It was a pleasure to meet them both.                                                         Mike and Eli

Super première expérience pour nous ! Tout s est très bien passé. Nos animaux ont été chouchoutés, la maison a été très bien entretenue, et ils ont pris soin de nous aussi : Dog a fait notre chauffeur pour les trajets a la gare et Johanne a pris le soin de nous laisser un repas pour notre arrivée.
Ravis de cet échange nous referons appel à eux, c est certain !

“Always good to know our dogs and the cat, as well as the house will be well cared for. The day after Doug and Johanne left, Pete who is one of our old dogs, kept going back to their bedroom to look for them. That says everything!”

” I highly recommend Johanne and Douglas to take care of your pets while you are away. They spend around 40 days with our cats, they kept updating us with pictures and they took very good care of our apartment. During this time, the cats bonded with them and never felt that we were gone. We also came back to a neat flat everything is clean and in order! They even left us some kitchen ware and food items! Will definitely contact them again for such service!”

“Doug and Joanne are simply stupendous pet sitters. 
Reliable, self-motivated, curious, and obviously enamoured of animals of all sorts.
As soon as they arrived we knew we could relax into our vacation. They bonded quickly with our pets (1 boisterous dog, 5 indoor cats and 2 garden cats), dove headfirst into my lengthy and tediously detailed ‘House and Pets Manual’, asked plenty of questions, and made themselves at home in our house and in our larger neighborhood. 
While we were away Doug and Joanne communicated frequently through WhatsApp sending photos and updates. 
We especially liked that they touched base if something was amiss or puzzling in the house (rather than ignoring it a potential problem), and that they got out and enjoyed what our part of Italy has to offer. 
We returned, after 4 weeks, to a very happy fur-family and an exceptionally clean house. 
 
Thank you Doug and Joanne for not only making our trip possible, but worry-free as well!”
