Rachel sat for our two dogs and two kittens for our first post Covid vaccine trip! We had planned to be away for 6 days, and advertised the sit as such, but then after Rachel had accepted, we realized we could take a few extra days if she was able to stay longer. And being the flexible person she is, Rachel agreed to the change of plans. She was attentive to the pets (we could tell how much they liked her right off the bat), send texts and pictures almost daily to update us on feeding, walks, etc. She took the dogs to their favorite walking trails in her car several times, which was most kind. I was extremely impressed with the consideration and care she gave both us and our home. In a phone call the day before we were due home she asked if she could go into our “wing” of the house to check for any surprises that the kittens might have left and she mentioned some scratches that she’d noticed on a door frame and worried they might have been caused during her stay. I reassured her they were the work of other cats who are no longer with us, and was impressed with her thoroughness and concern for our home. She was communicative, neat, left the house as clean as she found it, and took excellent care of all our pets. I recommend her without reservation. Thank you Rachel for your TLC to both pets and home! We will welcome you back any time.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cloke House  in Borough Green. Kelly and Scott were very friendly hosts, they provided us with an excellent welcome guide, and throughout communication was easy and they made us feel very welcome.
The pets were a delight. Teddy their Golden Retriever was such a sweetheart, loved to go on walks and to play tug-of-war, and also very obedient, sitting quietly while we prepared and ate our meals and letting us know when he needed to go about his 'business'. 
Tinky the cat, like a lot of cats, was very independent but liked a bit of attention, especially at feeding time. She was very much in charge of her own space and was very easy to take care of. And the downstairs fish didn't give is any problems!
Cloke House is well positioned for getting around Kent with good train links and a bus service around to various parts of the county. We would highly recommend (and to let any future pet-sitter) that they would definitely enjoy their stay. We know that if we were free, we would certainly request to sit again.
Thanks Kelly and Scott.

This home is set up so well to just fly in and make yourself at home. The pups are all so friendly and Tammy and Ed make you feel so welcome. North Pole is a delight to visit and you are just overwhelmed with new and exciting things to see and do.

Anne
This was a super sit in a lovely, comfortable house with three wonderful pets. The cats - Mia and Kitty Woo - are very easy to care for; they sleep a lot during the day, let themselves in and out through the pet-flap, and like to be close-by and come for cuddles, especially in the evening. Sissy, the dog, is simply adorable; she stole our hearts and it was difficult to say goodbye to her at the end of the sit. She is the most sweet-natured, affectionate dog imaginable and was our constant companion. She is a joy to walk, on or off-lead, and is well-trained and obedient. She loves a cuddle and is happy to snuggle down near you at home.
Anne and Andy are very friendly and easy to deal with. Communication was good, before and throughout the sit, and they left clear instructions.
Rob and I really enjoyed this sit and would be happy to return should the opportunity arise in the future. Thank you, Anne and Andy.

Claire
We had a wonderful time! Paul and Claire welcomed us into their home and we had a lovely dinner with all the family the night before they left. Delilah is the sweetest rabbit I have ever come across. She is sweet natured and such a character. We both fell in love with her! Claire notes and instructions were very clear and both her and her daughter Nicky were very quick to respond when they were away. The house is warm and comfortable and the location is fabulous. Chester is a beautiful town with loads of individual cafes, bars and shops. Highly recommend this sit. Thank you Claire for having us.

Neala is soooo sweet! Easy to care for, loves to cuddle and hang out. We had a great time! 
Michael is very easy going and provided all the information we needed about his home and Neala's care. Michael's home is full of character and charm, in a great neighbourhood close to everything including transit, grocery, the dog park, gyms and lots of restaurants. We are really looking forward to going back again sometime to visit with Neala again - we miss her already!
