We were so lucky to get Charlie as our first house sitter ever! So incredibly responsive and so friendly. Interested in knowing every preference you have so that expectations can be exceeded. Our house was cleaner than we left it, laundry washed I left dirty, and sheets changed and ready for our return after a long day of travel. So grateful she took care of of home, pups and my conscience! Thank you SO much!!
Charlotte and her family were so wonderful to have taking care of my house. I feel so lucky to have had them looking after my dog and kitty. The house was in perfect condition, and my animals were all loved up when i got home. I received lots of updates and the comments they sent about my animals showed me how much they really were paying attention to them. I hope to book my vacations around their California schedule! Highly recommend.
Charli and Jeff were awesome house sitters. From the time they walked in our cats were at ease with them, especially Rex. Rex would sit on their laps for hours . When our plans changed (flight was cancelled) Charli and Jeff were very accommodating and even made us a vegan lasagna for dinner. It was very tasty. Upon arriving home and seeing how clean the house was I cancelled the house cleaners. We were very happy with Charli and Jeff and would absolutely use them again. They were more than house sitters they became our friends.
Charlotte and Jeff are outstanding pet and house sitters. They are caring, competent, reliable, resourceful, excellent communicators and wonderful with animals. They recently took care of our 8 year old calico cat and her best friend, our 1 ½ year old rescue dog, for 5 weeks while we were out of the country. They updated us with email and pictures of both animals, which was heartwarming and very comforting. When we returned it was obvious that both had been cared for with love and affection. And, our home was spotless and everything that had been used was replaced, with a few extras thrown in. They took us to the airport and picked us up, in addition to having dinner ready for us when we got home. To say the least they went above and beyond! Most important of all, they are honest, charming and up beat people you will love, and so will your animals! We plan to schedule our future vacations around their schedule. They are simply the best!
Charlotte and Jeff were wonderful house and pet sitters. They took great care with our pets, walking the dog, Lizzy daily, giving ample lap time to Mr. Darby the cat and even winning over the most distrusting, Zeus the cat, (thank you Jeff, no one thought it was possible). Charlotte is very organized and before arriving we had communicated several times and upon their arrival I felt I was greeting friends I had known for years! Our home, yard, gardens and pets were happy, well tended and loved during our time away. I would not hesitate recommending them as pet and house sitters for anyone and look forward to having them back some time in the future.
I must admit, I was quite stressed prior to our trip because we'd never used a dog sitter of this type (had always used family members) and we had also never left our beloved dog for as long as we did. However, my fears were quickly alleviated once I met Charli (her husband Jeff's father is quite ill and he was unable to come). Charli immediately bonded with our dog and us. She is very relaxed, easy to be around and a truly kind and genuine person. We were away for a little under 3 weeks and she emailed almost daily letting us know what she and our dog were up to and she texted photos. We came home to a house that was cleaner than when I left it and she had made us a great dinner! Several of our neighbors commented that they saw her walking our dog much more than we actually do! Everything went really, really well. So well in fact that we're hoping she and Jeff can come back sometime next year. I enthusiastically recommend Chari & Jeff to take great care of your pets and your home!
There is not enough paper in the world to write a reference for Jeff and Charli that would sufficiently acknowledge and appreciate the attention and care they gave our home and our animals. Our cat, which can be skittish and aloof around new people, lost her wariness right away, hung out with Charli and Jeff as they worked during the day and slept with them at night. They took our dog, which had injured her foot just before we left for vacation, to the vet four times, wrapped her foot to keep it clean, took her out for car rides when she couldn’t go for walks, and organized their free time around her needs. They kept in contact with us every day, letting us know how both animals were faring. This was our first time using Trusted Housesitters. It was also the first time we had left our home and pets with someone besides a friend or family member. To be honest, we were a bit apprehensive about having strangers in our home, at how it would all go, especially as our dog is a 70 pound muscular (playful and friendly) Staffie who some people mistakenly think is vicious because of her appearance. We also wondered if our cat would hide under the bed for three weeks. Thanks to Charli and Jeff, our experience was nothing but splendid – we were reassured constantly by text and pictures at how well it was going at home and every day we went about our holiday, delighted and relieved we had Charli and Jeff in our home. Upon arriving home Charli and Jeff had dinner waiting for us – an amazing treat for weary travellers. They left our house clean and our animals healthy and happy. We hope our thanks to Charli and Jeff fully expresses how grateful we are for how they respected and enjoyed our home and how they loved and cared for our animals. Charli and Jeff are wonderful people and extraordinary housesitters. By taking care of our home and animals, they took care of us too, and we’re hoping we have lifelong friends as a result.
Charli and Jeff house sat for us this summer (2016), in Portland, OR, and were fantastic. They are easy to work with, straightforward, responsible and go out of their way to make everything smooth. This was our first time using this service and it could not have worked out better. Prior to arriving Charli send me a short write up of questions about our pets and house. She was prompt in returning emails and helpful in getting everything set up. They were both easy going about arrival and departure details, which was helpful to use because we were on a road trip and didn't exactly know our schedule. Our dog likes a lot of exercise and through the trip we periodically got pictures from his adventures. He was happy, in shape and content when we returned. The same can be said for our cat, less friendly but won over by their attention and care. The house was pristine, and by far in the best shape of any return we have had when using house sitters. The process of leaving our house and pets with strangers could have been disconcerting and I am immensely grateful for Charli and Jeff's professionalism and attention to detail both before we left and during the trip. I never worried and as things came up during the trip (things shipped to the wrong location, etc.) they were dealt with easily. I would unequivocally recommend Charli and Jeff for house sitting. I would also be very happy to discuss our experience with them and this recommendation. If interested please ask Charli for our contact info.
I highly recommend Charli and Jeff for anyone looking for reliable, friendly, trustworthy, loving people to care for their home and pets. We were able to get away without a care knowing that all would be handled and that anything critical would be promptly communicated. We would love for them to house sit for us again in the future, and truly cannot say enough great things about them!
Charli and Jeff are exceptional house sitters. For six weeks they cared for our two indoor cats and two feral cats, who needed to be fed in the nearby neighborhood. They kept in regular e-mail contact with us, updating the health and welfare of all the animals. Charli and Jeff sent pictures and anecdotes of what the animals were doing. They gave both our indoor cats Advantage. Jeff solved a problem with the dishwasher. The gardens were planted and well cared for by Charli. The house was immaculate when we came home. You can not find a better team to care for your house. If you are lucky enough to get them, you will want them every time you go away.
Jeff and Charlie are amazing. Our animals loved them and the darn cat cried for 3 nights after they were gone. Love affair with JEFF we figure. Pets were so well cared for and any health questions were addressed with our Vet. You will be so blessed to have them - if they chose you!
Charli and Jeff Lee were, by far, the best house and dog sitters we have ever had. We have been using dog and housesitters for decades and never came home to such happy dogs and such a clean house. Charli and Jeff raised the bar on our measurement of a great house and dog sitter. Our dogs were not happy to see them leave and neither were we. We have already booked them for next year. I would not hesitate to recommend them highly for ANY house or critter care. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns about having Charli and Jeff care for your home and furry family. They cared for our home and two dogs for over a month during winter 2015/2016.
Our introduction to Charli and Jeff came by chance while we were seeking someone to watch our home and 10 year old Great Dane while we visited family in Australia for 7 weeks during October and November 2015. We heard of housesittersamerica.com from friends and thought we would give it a try. We looked online through the list of house sitters and tried 2 sitters, one who didn't respond and one who responded within a day but was unavailable. We tried again a few days later and found Charli and Jeff who responded immediately to our inquiry. We had a lot of questions so we asked if they would call us to discuss our needs more fully. Charli called immediately with enthusiasm and courtesy ready to answer any questions we had about them and their ability to meet our needs. It was quickly apparent that she was well grounded and professional about her responses as well as very cheerful about their previous experiences with past families and a host of different pets. Charli offered a plan to have them come visit us a month before we were to leave for Australia. They visited us as planned and stayed for a couple of days which worked out perfectly to show them the house, appliances, utilities, peculiarities, and meet most of our neighbors. Our Great Dane fell in love with both of them immediately and vice versa. Jeff proved to be very knowledgeable about home maintenance, I would call him a home operations engineer. They stayed in touch with us weekly and as time grew closer for departure, then even more so. They honored our mutually agreed schedule. This continued throughout our time in Australia. Their care of and communication about our home and our Great Dane was exceptional. We returned from Australia to a wonderfully appealing clean home and a healthy Great Dane. We continue to keep in touch frequently and now have two wonderful beings we call friends.
Charli and Jeff cared for our home and dog for 6 weeks. They were fantastic! They were respectful and treated our home as if it were their own. We are pretty sure our dog never missed us, as they were attentive and loving to her - they really seem to like pet care. Great communication and organizational skills as you would expect from a professional couple. And just plain nice folks too! Highly recommended. We would use them again anytime.
Charli and Jeff did a fantastic job for us. We were away three weeks and never had to worry about a thing. They stayed in touch the whole time. We had a large garden they looked after. When we returned the garden looked great, and I don't know if my house has ever been this clean. Plus, they are just really nice people. We really enjoyed getting to know them and felt very comfortable leaving them in charge of our home.
Charli and Jeff Lee dog and house sat for us for 3 weeks in May of 2015. It was a wonderful experience start to finish. They are honest, respectful and very capable as well as kind, interesting and enthusiastic. Everything we needed taken care of was done beautifully and they went above and beyond in so many ways. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Please feel free to contact us at 916-425-2077 or jmdmcgee@sbcglobal.net if you have any questions we can help with.
Jeff and Charlotte are wonderful and extremely reliable people. They exercise a lot, which was fantastic for our dogs. They got along with our birds too. They were able to take care of everything with the animals and the house. We were hoping they would return next year but they'd prefer a warmer climate. You will be very lucky and happy if you get them to housesit for you. They are perfect!!!
Jeff and Charlotte Lee were house sitters for our home in Kamuela Hawaii. Our main objective in finding house sitters was the need to have someone care for our cat and water our plants while we were gone for 10 days to the mainland Jeff and Charlotte were very mindful of our requested tasks and did an excellent job of taking care of our home in June of 2013. Our cats has specific medical needs and Jeff and Charlotte made sure that the cat was feed with her medicine twice a day. The nice thing was we got to spend time with Jeff and Charlie before we headed out on our trip and had a very pleasant time with them. My husband and I would highly recommend them for any house sitting situation and we know they will be respectful and execute your requested tasks.
