I combed through dog sitters, sent out a few dozen request, and finally found the most lovely, responsible, respectful, trustworthy spirits one could ever hope for to care for our two mutts and home!

Like my sister and her husband, Stuart and I feel like we have made new friends for life, Annette and Mark are welcome back anytime, even if we're not on vacation!
