Clive and Ali Cooper recently spent two months house sitting for us, along with a one-week house sit earlier in the summer. This was our first experience with house sitters, so we were a bit nervous. But from the time we interviewed Clive and Ali via Skype we were comfortable with our choice. In fact, we can’t imagine making a better choice. They were friendly and caring, and showed concern for every detail involved in taking care of our ​home and pets.

They exceeded our expectations in all ways.  Every issue was handled with expertise and good humor.  They kept us informed through pictures and email, and guided us through concerns we couldn’t otherwise handle from a distance. You will see by their other house sitting experiences that they are champions in the field and their advice helped us prepare our home and pets for our extended absence. ​

Some highlights:​​​
​

• They regularly sent us photos and fun videos of our animals and of them interacting with the animals. My family and friends clamored for more of their professional quality videos, which I posted online.
• They were tender with our pets and the night we returned the dog chose to sleep in their bedroom rather than ours!
• They took our dog to the vet several times and treated a small wound daily. 
• They managed to get the affection of our cat, who is usually given a wide berth by our friends and is known at the veterinary office as “Mr. Cranky Pants.” He actually liked them and cuddled with them! 
• They arranged maintenance when our car broke down (not due to anything they did). 
• They kept our pool and spa in top-notch shape - no easy task in the Arizona heat.
• They filled in for us by making weekday visits to a neighbor’s rescue dogs, and worked hard to integrate an exuberant new pup into the pack. This was voluntary, and they gave their time generously.

We introduced Clive and Ali to friends and neighbors and they fit right in!  They have so many wonderful tales of their house sitting adventures around the world and are such fun and interesting company.

​We consider them friends at this point and are thrilled that they have agreed to return to us next July and August.

They are kind, honest, good humored, creative, and capable.  You will not find better quality people or more professional and loving care of your pets and home. 

​We would be pleased to talk with prospective clients.
