Barney House Sit
I had a great time taking care of Barney for Peggy and Bill. He is a great dog and easy to care for. He loves to be near you and is very affectionate. Bill and Peggy have a beautiful home and made my stay very welcoming and comfortable. They went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed during my stay. They also had detailed information available about the house and Barney's care available for me. They were kind enough to let me stay at their home for a few days before my next sit. I enjoyed spending this time with them and of course more time with Barney who is a joy to take care of. I would definitely love to house sit for Bill, Peggy and of course Barney in the future. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a great place to sit.

What a beautiful stay with a perfect doggie!
I had the good fortune of landing the assignment of spending 4 weeks with Peggy's doggie Barney in her magnificent home by Lake Tellico. Barney is a senior Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, so cute and so loving. He has no health issues and he is such a joy to be with. His idea of mischief is to hide his Greenie stick (treat) somewhere and then later retrieve it. He was so very easy to care for, all he needs is company and love and a walk (and treats!). Bill and Peggy are very gracious and generous hosts, it was such a pleasure to get to know them both Their home is tidy and clean, very comfortable in a safe and quiet area, in a park-like setting with lawns and many trees around. I met many of their cul de sac neighbors, they were all friendly and welcoming. Peggy gave really good instructions about her indoor and outdoor plants, so it was easy for me to water them accordingly. They have a beautiful patio downstairs with comfy furniture, right under the upper deck. Spend some time outside, enjoy the peaceful view from both patio and upper deck! I hope I will come back to sweet Barney one day. If you like peaceful living in a quiet lake community, and if you are willing to spend your time with a very sweet dog in this nice home, absolutely jump at this opportunity! You will love it!

Absolutely Delightful
As experienced house/pet sitters, we have seen quite a few situations and this was one of, if not the most relaxing places we have stayed. The hosts are friendly, helpful people. Their small dog, Barney, is the easiest and most pleasant companion ever. Their nice home is very comfortable, quiet and relaxing. I'm an avid birder and saw over 55 species just from their back deck in July. We highly recommend this as a good place to sit.
