We loved our recent housesit at Toby and Peter's beautiful acreage. From our first meeting, we found them to be kind and hospitable. They are incredibly organized and left us an amazing, detailed handbook with all the necessary information. Communication was excellent throughout the sit, and they were always quick to respond whenever we had questions. The home and acreage are a peaceful oasis. The location is just a few minutes from Okotoks, but feels like you're far away in the ... MoreWe loved our recent housesit at Toby and Peter's beautiful acreage.

Communication was excellent throughout the sit, and they were always quick to respond whenever we had questions. The home and acreage are a peaceful oasis. The location is just a few minutes from Okotoks, but feels like you're far away in the country. Chester and Chloe won our hearts and were the friendliest cats we've ever cared for. They always wanted to be near us and loved cuddles. We already miss them! The property was easy to manage, and the chickens were easy to care for. We would be happy to come back and sit anytime in the future!

We were so happy to house-sit for Toby and Peter. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, including a walkthrough of the house a few days before we started, which was very helpful. Their beautiful cats, Chloe and Chester, were incredibly affectionate and always looking for cuddles — such a joy to spend time with. The chickens were also very easy to care for thanks to the well-organized coop and feeding setup. The house is located on a large property just a short drive ...

The chickens were also very easy to care for thanks to the well-organized coop and feeding setup. The house is located on a large property just a short drive from downtown Okotoks. We were very comfortable and absolutely loved the amazing mountain views from both inside the house and while relaxing in the hot tub. We would definitely love to house-sit here again and highly recommend this sit to others.

I enjoyed my 10 day sit at Toby's lovely home in the country. I was met with friend of Toby who gave me good and clear instructions for the home and the pets. And who also made herself available for any issues that might arise. The kitties were fun and most adorable. The chickens were also a fun experience. The coop, pens, and supplies all close together. If acreage sitting is something you enjoy (which I do) I would recommend this pet and home sit. The home is situated close to everything ...

The home is situated close to everything you could need and the breathtaking views of the Rocky mountains off the front deck are spectacular on a clear day.
