Testimonials
We have been using "mindmyhouse" for 8 years now with great success! We were fortunate to find Clark and Shirley Cunningham for our past 3 week vacation. Our dog loved them and so did we. We hope to stay friends in the future. Our place was immaculate upon return and Clark even did some home repairs. We can highly recommend them to anyone seeking reliable trustworthy home/pet sitters. We wish to thank them for the gifts we discovered after they were gone! Hope we meet again soon. Thank you again from Joh and Sue in Ladner, BC

AN IDEAL CHOICE
We had the privilege of having Shirley and Clark Cunningham take care of our property and it's resident cat and dog during a ten week absence from December 2017 to early February 2018. They proved to be an outstanding choice in that they attended to all the detail involved in the day to day running of a rural property, kept the house in a far better state of cleanliness than we do (and we're not untidy people!), took the dog for regular walks, kept us posted on any developments needing our input and all in all proved to be an ideal choice. If you are looking for a friendly, relaxed, reliable couple to fulfill a similar assignment for you, then we recommend without hesitation that you put Shirley and Clark on top of your short list, you will not be disappointed. For our part, if a similar opportunity ever arose in the future, we would have no hesitation in choosing them.
