This is the 4th sit that Tamra and David have done for us. We no longer consider them house/pet sitters; they are now great friends. We never have to worry about our house and pets when Tamra and David are there. They give our two Australian Shepherds lots of love and attention and take them on many excursions around the island. They are great communicators and keep us informed of how things are going. David is great at fixing things around the house, so we don’t have to worry if repairs are needed.....he’s right on top of them. In fact, he keeps our koi pond in great shape, and the water is crystal clear and the koi are super happy when we return. We always come home to a clean house, happy dogs, lively koi and food in the fridge. You will not go wrong with choosing Tamra and David for your house sit......no matter how long or how involved your sit may be, you can count on them!

June 2020

This is the third PERFECT sit of our home and pets by David and Tamra. Due to the Covid19 pandemic, travel was seriously impacted. We had an impromptu trip planned to California and were able to get Tamra and David on very short notice. They worked hard to arrange flights that would work for us. On top of all this craziness, they had to undergo a mandated two-week quarantine in Kauai upon arrival. They agreed to come early to undergo the quarantine while we were still here. They were worried that our dogs would not be able to be walked and exercised if they had to quarantine while we were gone. I have to say those two weeks we spent together were quite fun. We shared in meal prep and clean up; and every night, we'd have a movie night together. Tamra and David are so fun and easy going, we consider them family. We had a new puppy who was in the process of being obedience trained. They picked up on that and continued the training while we were gone. David loves poking around the property and took on some major projects for us (like climbing up on our two-story roof and cleaning the roof (due to the tropical environment in Kauai, roofs tend to get algae growth on them and have to be cleaned with a bleach solution every year or so). We also have a koi pond that requires regular maintenance and Dave kept the pond sparkling clean....even better than our twice-monthly service company. David and Tamra took the dogs on long excursions to beaches and various sites around the island. Our pup was initially skittish about getting into our vehicles, especially the Mini convertible. When we got home, we couldn't understand why the pup always wanted to go in the garage and we couldn't get him back in the house. It turns out, he wanted to get in the Mini for his daily convertible ride!! We came home to two clean cars, a spotless house, a delicious coconut cream pie in the fridge, and two very happy dogs! You cannot go wrong with Tamra and David!!

Tamra and David house/pet sat for us for two months over the 2016 holidays. Where do we begin to describe this amazing couple?! They were organized and efficient and asked lots of questions about our home and pets before we left. They communicated with us frequently and sent many photos of them and our two Aussies. The dogs got to go on many, many outings with Tamra and David and were spoiled by them. We felt completely comfortable leaving our home and pets in their capable care. Our neighbors fell in love with them, and told us of the many times they saw them out and about with our dogs. Upon our return home, we were surprised with gifts from David and Tamra as well as a delicious home-cooked meal and goodies in the fridge that would tide us over until we could get to the market. They kept our home clean and tidy and gave our dogs lots of loving attention and care. We highly recommend David and Tamra. You will not have to worry about a thing while you travel. Your home and pets will be lovingly cared for.

Where do we begin to describe Tamra and David? They have sat for us before, and we became fast friends. This sit started out on a very sad note. After Tamra and David’s arrival a few days before the sit was to begin, we found out our five-year-old Aussie had lymphoma and had only days to live. Not only did Tamra and David immediately take over the care of our home, they comforted us and grieved right along with us. This made a tragic time a bit more bearable and gave us more time to spend with our young Aussie and say a proper goodbye. Tamra and David then gave our older Aussie tons of love and affection to ease his confusion over losing his brother. They took him everywhere with them, let him sleep with them at night, and snuggled with him every chance they got. David even played the guitar with Kai snuggled next to him.

They posted photos every day of their adventures with Kai so we were able to keep up with his activities.

We returned home to a very happy dog, sparkling koi pond, clean home and vehicles, and fresh-baked brownies.

Without hesitation, we highly recommend Tamra and David to anyone who needs home/pet sitting services. We will invite them back, again and again, to care for our home and pets.
