Kelly and Chris were great! They provided nice daily updates with pics, the cats loved them, and the house was perfectly clean when we returned. No issues and would happily recommend them for future sits.
Shrewsbury is a lovely town and the house is located in a safe area with good options for walking with dogs. Molly and Jasper are adorable dogs, Molly always ready for adventure and Jasper trotting along, old but sweet. Communication with the owner was easy, and facilities good. Many options in town for a nice day out and good restaurants. It takes about 30 minutes to walk to the center of Shrewsbury, but there are buses as well. Having a car would make travelling to nearby towns and attractions easier, but being without a car at this place is no problem, especially for people who love to walk. Taking care of the goldfish was easy. Would strongly recommend.
Tom is a very friendly guy who met us at the shop with Bear and walked us back to his place where he went through everything we’d need to know to do the sit. There was also a Welcome Guide on the app to consult if needed. Tom and his wife have a modern semi which was impeccably clean in a nice, safe neighbourhood. Bear probably had a tough start to his life in Romania as it took a couple of days for him to get comfortable with us. But by the end he was wagging his tail when we appeared and even shared his favourite snack with us, leaving it as a present under our duvet. Tom was easy to communicate with while they were away. It was a short but very pleasant sit and we’d be happy to look after their place again if we were in the area. Thanks Tom and Sophie for trusting us with your home and Bear the dog.
We were very happy in Blockley, an amazing picture-pretty Cotswold village with good village life (we were rather sad to have to miss the Duck Race and the Church Pet Service :) ). It was a pleasure to walk to the café for lunch and eavesdrop on local conversations (mostly Brexit-themed of course) by the regulars. Amanda's house is harmonious and pleasant to stay in, with good views from the patio and first-floor windows, and the dogs are well-behaved and reasonably obedient when out on walks. They are also full of beans and affection! Thank you for your kind hospitality and all the details that made our stay a perfect one.
We had a wonderful time housesitting for Mary, Gleed and Ruby, while Mary & Gleed were away to New Zealand for a month. Communication was great before and during the sit. Mary and Gleed are a great and friendly couple. Their home is beautiful and located close to the University of Utah campus, very close to the mountains for some great hikes. Being able to use Mary's car, during the sit, was super helpful. Ruby is one of the best dogs ever!! She is very well trained and behaved. She LOVES her walks!! We really enjoyed the walks to the park across the street, but the BEST was the hikes up the canyon and the golf course (once it was covered with snow). Ruby is well-mannered on the lease, but lives for running off-lease, so it was great to have such amazing places to let her run off-lease. Special shout-out to neighbors Richard & Kathleen and their dog Daisy. Daisy is Ruby's bestest friend. We were able to go on joint walks/hikes several times a week, during the sit. Overall a great sit with a great pup and for great people. Thanks again to Mary, Gleed and Ruby!! If you have the chance to sit for them, we HIGHLY recommend it!!
This was our first sit with THS and what a fantastic experience. Sarah and Abdul were brilliant, the communication pre sit was excellent, Sarah answered all my queries quickly and comprehensively. We arrived a couple of days before they left to familiarise ourselves with the animals and vice versa. I can highly recommend this, we met Family and Friends who were always on hand to help if needed. The House is beautiful surrounded by woodland. Sarah left a very useful guide to everything any queries were answered quickly by text. The 2 dogs, Storm and Thunder are a delight and a credit to Sarah and Abdul, Thunder is big and bouncy and just wants lots of love, Storm is a little more nervous but kindness and patience pays off and he became a big softie in no time. They enjoyed our walks in the numerous parks in this lovely area. The 2 cats are friendly and very low maintenance. The Chickens and ducks are always happy to see you at feeding time and the eggs are delicious. The 2 goats also happy at feeding time, love veggie peelings and are also low maintenance. I would highly recommend this sit to anyone who enjoys looking after a variety of animals in a ‘grand design’ house in an area that’s so close to London as well as lots of parks, even the seaside is a short drive away.
House sitting for Sarah and getting to look after Loki, Panther, and Wizard was wonderful. Loki is. the. cutest. cat! Sort of a kitten still, he was so playful and cuddly and just hilarious!! He hung out with us on the couch and let us play with him. Panther was mostly just aloof and seemed to spend his time keeping an eye on the perimeter or playing with Loki. Definitely the boss, but he let us play with him a few times. Wizard was cute too but would only look at us from a few feet away and would run away if we got too close. Couldn't win him over lol. Sarah's place is awesome. Her little apartment is so cozy and cute- plants everywhere- really bright and airy! Like something out of a magazine! The back garden was fun to hang out and eat in and watch the cats catch bugs haha. The apartment is walking distance to an overground and plenty of bus stops. Loved our time there! Wish we could have stayed longer and spent more time exploring the neighborhood.
