Nancy and Les were wonderful housesitters! They took amazing care of our dog and 3 cats while we were on vacation. They were very responsive and gave us updates on all our fur babies so we never worried about them at all. Our home was very clean and tidy when we came home and all the towels and linens were washed and folded and the beds were made. We had an unexpected 10 hour drive home after our flight was cancelled and it was so nice to be able to just fall into bed with clean sheets! We feel grateful to have had Nancy and Les in our home and give them the highest recommendation.  Nicole from Mill Valley, CA December 16-27, 2022

It’s an absolute joy to find Housesitter’s like Nancy & Les. They have more experience & knowledge than any prior Housesitter’s and, we have had many. They know what is needed, what to ask and how it all works. Kiki, our kitty is very cautious and they made friends quicker than most. Kiki, the house, yard and so forth all in the best of shape. Nancy & Les live a charmed life and you will want them in your home with your pets. It’s a win win!,,,. Thanks for making our vacation stress free. Carl & Deb, Benecia CA, October 26-Nov 9, 2022

Nancy and Les are fantastic, they showed up exactly when they said they would. They Took excellent care of our girl while we were away for 2 weeks. We received pictures almost daily with updates. Our house was well taken care of and the sheets were changed upon our return. Communication was great and as soon as we were in our car on our way home from the airport they were on their way to their next sit. Of course with buffer days built in. Thank you Nancy and Les for taking our anxiety away. Kelly Winner, Truckee CA October 8-24, 2022

Nancy and Les stayed at our home for one month (September 2022), with our sweet older cat and reserved Maltese (a rescue dog) Their communication style and timing were outstanding. We appreciated their consistent and informative texts. They left the house immaculate, and our gardens were well-cared for. It was a huge relief to have such good communication while away and to return home after a lengthy day of travel and discover the house in great (and very clean) shape, and our pets calm. Nancy and Les were very conscientious, and we felt completely assured that our two pets were safe and sound. We highly recommend them and wish they would stay here again in the future! Margaret, Portland OR August 30-September 28, 2022

Nancy and Les are absolutely wonderful! They have cared for my house and 2 dogs on 3 separate occasions. I go away with peace of mind that my dogs are being loved and well cared. The house and gardens are maintained beautifully. In fact, your house will be immaculate upon your return. Your animals will always let you know what they think of someone as they enter your home, my 2 dogs went crazy went Nancy and Les arrived. They were so excited to see them. Nancy immediately got down on the floor to properly greet them.

Nancy provides daily updates and pictures so I know all is well. Everything I requested to be done was checked off on the list I had provided.  I highly recommend Nancy and Les. Your home and animals will be treated as their own. They are the best!  Nancy & Dennis Donahue, Weaverville, NC October 2019

Nancy and Les were our first house sitters and they have been amazing the 10 days we’ve been out. They are a lovely couple and they took care of our dogs just as if they were their own. Inez, San Cugat, Spain, December 21-29, 2018

Any concerns or anxiety I may have had in advance of our recent house/pet sit were ‘blown out of the water’ when we met Nancy and Les. They get top ratings from us, because they are truly top of the game when it comes to being organised, reliable, self sufficient, tidy and proficient with pet care. We met them before the sit and were hugely impressed, relieved and confident in our choice from the outset. Whilst we were on holiday they communicated with us regularly, sent pictures of our fur babies to reassure us, and we knew that whatever situation cropped up they would deal with rationally and reliably. On our return we walked into a pristine clean house, seriously! Our cats looked content and as if we had been away 18 minutes rather than 18 days. We honestly couldn’t have wished for better sitters, especially given that this was our first experience of using Trusted House-sitters. It certainly won’t be our last time!  Sheena, Dunstable, UK  Oct 6, 2018

Nancy and Les were amazing- they went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly and the cats loved the. Great at keeping in contact and sending photos to put my mind at ease and the house was spotless on my return. Not only spotless but they had put flowers around the house and cleaned and replaced all the linens. I cannot recommend them highly enough!   Louisa, Cheltenham, UK,  Nov 2, 2018

Nancy & Les recently house sat for us, looking after our home and two house cats, one of which had recently been diagnosed as diabetic. We cannot praise them enough, two lovely caring people who even took on the medication for our cat. Nancy was excellent in sending us messages and photos our cats whilst we were away which was great. Meeting both Nancy & Les was a lovely experience, two really nice, honest and friendly people. We went away confident that both our cats and home were in very safe hands. We would recommend Nancy & Les to anyone considering house/pet sitters.  Beverly & Graham, Thorne/Doncaster, UK, Sep 20, 2018

Nancy and Les were the most wonderful house and pet sitters! We have 2 small dogs who fell in love with them and wanted to follow them home. We have a lot of plants in our San Miguel de Allende, MX home and they were lovingly cared for like our dogs. Nancy was very good at keeping in touch while we were away (7 weeks), and sent photos of our pups. Nancy and Les are very clean and tidy and our home was spotless when we returned. I will definitely ask them to return for a future house sit.
Cheryl & Greg, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, January 2018

I’ve known Nancy for years and she actually helped me find Trustedhousesitters.com. I’ve had good success with the housesitters we found in the past but they paled in comparison to the job Nancy and Les did for us.

We were gone 24 days to Europe and my husband was never fully satisfied with the housesitters in the past in their communication with us, updating us on our two kitties and how they were faring. We often had to reach out to them to say, “Is everyone going well?” Not with Nancy and Les. Nancy stayed in touch regularly, sent photos of the boys and in generally assured us that all was well. She was prompt in letting us know a house issue and was responsive by email even though there was a 9 hour time difference.

I believe what makes a vacation more enjoyable when you have beloved pets is knowing they’re in the hands of people who have made them their priority during their stay in your home. And also someone who is respectful while thoroughly enjoys staying in the home. That’s Nancy and Les. This is also the first time we’ve had a couple staying in the house and it gave us extra comfort knowing there were two people here and not just one.

I can’t overstate the peace of mind we had while away. We came home to a spotless home and even a snack ready for us so we wouldn’t need to run out for some groceries.

Please book them if you can! Your time away will be more restful because you know all is well at home for your fur kids, and your home.
Vicky T. Portland, Oregon, October 2017

Les and Nancy Thompson house sat for me for a week in September of 2017. My cat, who is very particular, adored them; it was very obvious they pampered her while I was away. Not only did they take good care of my cat, they also collected my mail, watered the houseplants and tended the outdoor plants, as well as treated my home as their own in seeing to all its needs. I can only hope that the next time I need a house sitter, they are available. Whoever is fortunate enough to have Les and Nancy house sit for them will appreciate the loving care they provide – they are gems to be treasured!
Marilynne – Port Townsend, WA  October 2017

Great couple who were super organized, thoughtful and wonderful with our two dogs. We gave them instructions, which they followed meticulously. They sent us updates and photos every day and the dogs were very well cared for.

They also took care of our plants during a heat wave. Our home was perfectly tidy and sparkling when we returned home.

We were able to relax on our vacation knowing Sophie and Rosko were in such competent and professional hands. Highly recommended sitters!!
Kirsten – Washington, September 2017

Nancy provided house sitting and pet care during a very stressful time as one of our kitties was ill and needed daily pill taking to keep his issues in check. The wonderful thing was that I got daily photos and texts on how he was doing. She gave attention and play time to both kitties. Also during the week she took care of my chickens – feeding, watering, and letting them out to roam a bit – then making sure all we’re back in their coop at night. All this was during a several day heat wave. She also kept all outdoor plants watered and dealt with a minor emergency when one of the irrigation lines broke. When we came home the house was clean and tidy and the kitties were well cared for. I’m so happy she was here during that time.             Vicki L,  Newberg, OR, August 2017

Nancy and Les are wonderful! They house/dog sat for us recently for about 8 days. I received daily updates from Nancy, with pictures of my dogs. The dogs always looked happy and content. They even let the dogs sleep with them!

Upon returning home, my house was immaculate. The sheets and towels were washed and folded and all dishes put away. If I hadn’t known better I would have thought no one had been here while we were gone, it was that tidy. I would not hesitate to have Nancy and Les again.                               Nancy,  Weaverville, NC June 2017

Nancy and Les were wonderful house-sitters. We were gone for a week and didn’t worry at all about our dogs as we knew they were in good hands. Communication was good and the house was in great shape when we returned. We also enjoyed chatting with them about our various travel adventures. 🙂

Pasha and Riesling seemed to really enjoy their time with them and I would highly recommend Nancy and Les for future house-sits. Thanks guys! Leandra, Durham, NC September 2016  

We are so happy to know and enjoy these nice couple. They took the trouble to visit prior to the official sit dates and we had such a great afternoon getting to know them with many laughs. We felt more than comfortable in leaving our babies and house in their capable hands. They kept us well informed with messages and cute pictures. Also dealt very adequately with a situation that required a visit to the Vets, very impressed. They informed us of a tree falling down after a storm went through and cleared it all away by the time we returned. Our home looked like they had not even been in it and they even washed the sheets etc. All in all we were thrilled with them and look forward some time getting together with them again. Thanks guys xxx
Wendy and Brian, McMinnville TN August 2016

This is the second time Nancy and Les have House/Petsit for us. Last year we had 8 cats and this year they were very willing to take care of our 10 cats.
All communications before, during and after were clear and consistent.
They sent pictures with their updates.
All the Cats were clearly content on our return and the house was spotless. And they greeted us with a lovely dinner. These two are a very reliable and respectful couple.
The cats remembered them so we were able to Holiday without any concerns. There were Medications to administer and different foods two times a day. Nancy and Les took it all in their stride.
These two are excellent House/Petsitters, we hope they will return to us in the future. They are very welcome here.                                                   Catherine and Peter, Ajijic MX May 2016

Nancy and Les did a terrific house sit for us and our 4 legged best girl. They were responsive, dependable, and sent emails and pictures regularly. They even went above-and-beyond and helped us getting in and out of the airport!! I was completely assured our house and dog were in excellent hands during our trip and would happily ask them to sit for us again.  Deborah E, Kalama WA  Feb. 2015                                                                                                                                                                   *Deborah gave us a 5 Star rating on Trusted House Sitters  –  Organised★ ★ ★ ★ ★  Reliable★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Self-sufficient★ ★ ★ ★ ★  Tidy★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Pet care★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Nancy took care of our household, including plants, chickens and an elderly cat, for 10 days while we were out of the country. I received frequent email updates of how the cat and chickens were doing. The house was very clean and tidy when we came home and my pets were all happy and content. I would highly recommend Nancy as a trusted house sitter.    Vicki L  Newberg, OR  June 2014

Nancy and I have worked together for the past 15 years and have become good friends in the process. As a long time professional meeting and event planner, Nancy is highly organized, pragmatic, discerning and an excellent judge of character. Nancy is also a wonderfully caring and thoughtful person who is worthy of your trust. You couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of your home and belongings. PS – she loves her animals!    Sallie S, Houston, TX

I have known Nancy for almost two decades, first through her work, then as a valued friend. Nancy is a woman of principle, hard working, creative, involved with charities and civic organizations — woman who makes things happen. Her husband, Les, has been a dear friend since high school – I think we first met in 1963. He shares a lot of Nancy’s positive traits, plus he is handy and to this day performs small home maintenance chores when he visits us. Nancy and Les have done several house-swaps and house sitting stints, and have cared for domestic pets and small farm animals. Nancy is tasteful, respectful, kind and considerate. Her home is lovely and well maintained. I would not hesitate to have her house sit for me and neither should you.    Margie P, Boston MA and Sanibel Island, FL

Nancy Thompson, and her husband Les Sims, are an incredibly conscientious, clean, reliable, responsible, resourceful, and fun couple.I’ve known Nancy for over twenty-five years and Les for fifteen years, and they are gracious and creative hosts and very thoughtful guests. You will be lucky to have them house-sit for you as they will take excellent care of every detail requested. They are both easy-going and friendly, and can get along with almost anyone.

Their own home is meticulously clean (better than most hotels) and very comfortable. Their cat and plants are beautifully and lovingly cared for. They are great planners, and they do their research before going anywhere. However, they also know how to re-group and make a new plan if a situation requires it. They are seasoned decision-makers with great common sense.    Nancy and Les are also a great team and work well together. I cannot recommend them highly enough!    Kirsten C, Lake Oswego, OR

I have known Nancy and Les for over 30 years and am a frequent guest in their home. In those 30 years they have always owned a clean, comfortable, well maintained home. As successful professionals they have lived in various parts of the country and are extremely adept at finding and using local resources. They are an honest, hard working, level headed, detailed oriented couple that LOVE pets of all kinds. I can not think of anyone better to take care of my house and cat while I am away for any length of time.       Dawn S, Pt. Ludlow, WA

I’ve known Nancy and Les for over 20 years. These two are witty, well-traveled and thoughtful friends. Nancy has been published in a few retirement books and is a travel blogger. Les was an engineer and logistics manager.They have the cutest cat, Ricky, and have had family pets including dogs, bunnies and hamsters.Your home will be filled with laughter, interesting conversation, smells of good cooking and happy pets (if you have pets). Your home will be in the best hands with these two!      Heather E, Portland, OR

I have known Nancy for 30 plus years. As her next door neighbor for many of those years I was able to observe her under the many different circumstance that face a professional woman with the responsibilities of the corporate world, a house, two children and a variety of pets. Somehow she handled it all with ease and never lost her sense of humor. Nancy has the natural disposition to be calm while being a decisive leader. Her home was the place where everyone – kids and adults alike – always wanted to hang out.
When Nancy and Les married ten years ago, they became the dynamic duo! They are physically fit and young at heart housesitting professionals who have the experience to handle any situation or emergency. They are both hardworking, handy and resourceful. Nancy never met a dog or cat she didn’t want to bend down and say hello to Les is known as “the kitty whisperer”. He loves nothing more than to sit in his recliner with the soft ball of fur and purr known as Mr. Ricky stretched out on his lap.
I highly recommend this couple for any house sitting position. I know them both to trustworthy and reliable people that would give your home and pets the same love and care they have always given their own.     Evans R, Venice, CA

Nancy is a lovely, caring, responsible person. She is the type of person you would want to leave your house in the hands of. If you did, there would be NO QUESTION about the care she would give it. She’s also an animal lover and highly responsible pet owner. I worked with Nancy for many years, and I can attest to her honesty, integrity and sense of responsibility.  Lea M, Canby, OR
