Homeowner in Montreal, Canada

It is with absolute pleasure that I recommend Adele as a care provider for your home, gardens and pets. She has watched my dog, on numerous occasions over the past five years and they have become great pals.

Izzy feels as at home with Adele, as she does with me. Adele has watched Izzy in my home and on occasion Izzy stays with Adele at her home. Adele is a natural. Pets seem to love and gravitate towards her. She provides exceptional care, is reliable and provides lots of communication as needed. During a particularly long sit, she kept a mini-journal that detailed what was going on and sent that to us on a weekly basis.

Along with pet care, property maintenance, gardening and plant care, Adele helped us with home renovations, managing contractors and doing clean-ups during our recent home renovations. She is practical, reliable and trustworthy. Her ability to deal with unforeseen issues have given me complete peace of mind during my travels. have given her access to my home for up to six months and always returned to a happy dog and well-maintained house and garden.

Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information.
Sincerely,
Taylor

To Whom It May Concern,

I was looking for someone to take care of my house, plants and pets while I was in Pakistan for 4 weeks this past December. Adele Haar was recommended to me as a house sitter through a close friend. She was a wonderful caretaker and dog sitter and I was very fortunate to have her! Adele took great care of my condo, small greenhouse, indoor plants, medium-sized dog and cats. She was always easy to get in touch with if I had any concerns and the pets LOVED her.

During my absence, Adele kept in regular contact with me via email, sending photos of our dog on her adventures with her. She kept me apprised of any issues and maintenance going on in the condo and quickly took care of anything of consequence. She went above and beyond in home repairs and maintenance, giving the kitchen a much needed makeover and fixing a long standing issue with the sink.

When I returned from Pakistan, the condo and greenhouse were in perfect order and the pets were as happy as ever. She fit in well with our many neighbours and upon return; the condo was cleaner than I had left it! She was very professional, energetic and went above and beyond in maintaining my condo and greenhouse. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone as a caretaker and if the opportunity arises, I will definitely have her back to take care of my home again.

If you would like to discuss further, please don't hesitate to give me a call or send me an email.
Sincerely,
Ali Husain
