Beautiful home and lovely people! Had a really great stay!
I had the most delightful petsitting experience at Suzy and Julian's beautiful barn conversion in Cambridgeshire. The location was idyllic, surrounded by acres of serene countryside. Taking care of their lovely cockapoos, Holly and Ted, was an absolute joy. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this petsit and highly recommend it!
Heather was very kind, helpful and welcoming. I spent amazing days at your lovely home. Your pets are sweet and affectionate, they have completed the joy of my stay. Walnut Creek is a peaceful place and I had that time I was needing for myself. It was a wonderful experience. Hope I can be back again someday!
What an absolute joy this sit was, with excellent communication throughout. Lindsay & John live in a beautiful homely location with many easy off lead walks (don't need to go anywhere near roads). Spike gave me such a lovely welcome the moment I arrived & was my faithful companion for the sit. As long as you play ball with him, he's happy. The 'girls' (chooks) were a delight & had their own individual characters. Rocky (the rooster) definitely ruled the roost & kept everyone in order. I confess I started to give them names, some of which have stuck. The eggs laid were always a beautiful mix of colours & although I don't eat them, the friend I passed some onto said they were some of the best she'd tasted. The Tortoises were easy (as in hibernation), just a daily check. Had the joy of enduring Storm Eunice, but thankfully little damage was done (just a few branches) as the farm is well protected. I was invited to come the night before, due to an early flight & thoroughly enjoyed the chance to get to know Lindsay, John & Eustice (John's father). I spent many an hour chatting with Eustice, such a fascinating man. I would return in a heartbeat & 100% recommend this sit.
Rachel was an excellent host. I didn't get to meet her in person, but she left clear instructions and a lovely, clean and comfortable home. Ethel is a super sweet cat and is easy to take care of. She just likes attention and cuddling up on the couch. I would happily return in the future.
If you are a bird lover, you will love this sitting! Martin’s parrots are really lovely and they will want to spend the whole day with you! Hobbes is a young dog and will love to have your attention and that you play with him. You have two large supermarkets near the house. Martin is very communicative and was available for us in case of any problem. Thank you very much Martin!
