In each case the food and drink and walk routines were different, but we made sure to adapt as needed.

I cared for her aging parents, in their home, along with their family dogs during several periods of time over 5 years. As a family, Jane used us to watch her home, dogs, and father while she was away on an extended trip.
Courtney and Brad G. We have house sat and watch over their dogs on a number of occasions. They are long time family friends and were the ones who recommended we sign up for House Sitters Canada.
