Introduction

My husband and I are retired and like to travel. We live in a log cabin in the woods but five minutes from the interstate that can take you west to the Hartford area or east to the Boston area. Our home is a comfortable log cabin in an oak

Home & location

The area is quiet and peaceful. Nearest grocery store is about 20 minutes away. Our refrigerator and freezer contents are available to you. The University of Connecticut is about 20 minutes away. There are neighbors but plenty of space

I was really excited to be the first sitter to meet the duo of Shyla and Smoke, after Sheba crossed the rainbow bridge prior to my sit and Shirley welcomed

    Shirley and Bob were wonderful hosts. We spent some extra time with them due to an early return from their trip and it was great visiting and getting to know

      Shirley and Don are great pet/ homeowners... and their large log cabin is a quiet Oasis in the countryside. Their cats, Sheba and Smoke are easy to care for

        Shirley is a wonderful host and lives in a nice, quiet area overlooking a pond. She and Bob took me out to dinner the night before they left to travel

          It was a tremendous pleasure sitting for Shirley and Bob. The home is in a peaceful retreat in front of a beautiful pond, away from the hustle and bustle
