Pet Sitters in Bishop Auckland

Alan

We have just returned from our holiday and Alan and Jean have looked after our dogs and home brilliantly. The dogs have clearly been well cared for with attention paid to their routine including very early walks due to the heat. The house is immaculate and they have gone well beyond expectations and tidied cupboards, cleaned out rooms, dealt with a power cut and even done some cooking for us ( left in the freezer). I highly recommend Alan and Jean as very caring house and pet sitters and I hope they have some lovely new experiences with their next house sits.

Debbie & Chris & Chris

Very happy to welcome Debbie and Chris back to look after Archie and Layla for another 2 nights. They are such a friendly couple and it's good to know the dogs are well cared for while we're away.

Deborah & Molly

Deb was simply an excellent cat and house sitter. Deb was a delight to meet and took great care of Meg and our house. Throughout our trip away Deb kept in contact with us on a regular basis with texts and photographs. We hope that despite the wet and windy weather Deb had a great time in Cumbria. We would welcome Deb back as a House sitter anytime. Thank you. Jan and Ross.

Keith & June

Keith and June were excellent sitters. We had a video call before their visit, all well. They arrived the day before I left and Tess completely bonded. Nil hassles with medications, they took Tess for lovely walks and the flat was spotless. I did not worry at all on my time away. Totally recommended.

brandon

Brandon took excellent care of my dog Mayo. She is pretty high energy and sometimes quite demanding but Brandon was up to the task. I would definitely have him as a house/pet sitter again.

Sherrie

Sherrie and her daughter Georgia are wonderful house/pet sitters. Anyone lucky enough to have them will, I'm sure, be as delighted as I was. Sherrie & Georgia sat for me recently for a month of extremely hot weather in Cyprus. They are lovely people, easy to communicate with..... from the moment we met I felt totally relaxed to leave my home and fur babies in what I knew would be very capable hands. They were totally self-sufficient, they organised their own rental car which made my life very easy. They came early so we could have a good handover and seemed to grasp the animal and home needs very quickly. They communicated brilliantly whilst I was away. I honestly had no worries at all. I would welcome them, or Sherrie alone, back at any time and would consider having them again as another blessing. Thank you, thank you, thank you Sherrue & Georgia xxxx

Ian & Andrea

Ian and Andrea are amazing people, we instantly got on with their humour and bubbly nature. It was so reassuring that back home the boys were so well looked after. We received regular pictures and updates of the boys. Slick from start to finish, just easy and the boys had a great time. The house was immaculate, freshly washed bedding and towels were very much appreciated. Ian and Andrea are very knowledgeable on dogs. Really lovely people and very thorough. Your pets will be in safe hands 🐾

Katie

Katie and her daughters were wonderful caretakers of our dog and cat and also our house and garden. So easy to deal with, great communication throughout the sit and they left everything sparkling clean. We would recommend them in a heartbeat and hope they enjoyed our stay with us.

Craig

Craig was super reliable, easy to communicate with and took wonderful care of my dog and my home.

David

David and Diane were fabulous! We had a video call with them before they arrived and we felt instantly at ease with them. We were leaving home at 3am so they came and stayed the night before we went. What a lovely couple, friendly, positive and good fun. Ali took an instant liking to them so we felt even more at ease. David and Diane had their own car so they were able to explore the area, taking Ali on great walks and picnics, she was fabulously spoiled! David sent me messages and pictures of all of their adventures, which was great. Communication was exceptional. Whilst we were away I felt completely relaxed and confident that Ali and our house were being really well looked after. The house was immaculate when we got back, the bedding was all washed and bed remade. I can't recommend David and Diane highly enough and hope they'll come again

Sydney & Gabriella

Just a lovely sitter! Sydney kept us well informed about the cats and updated us with photos too! Communications both before and during the sit were great. The house was amazingly tidy when we got back, and the cats were both relaxed and happy. Would highly recommend Sydney to take care of your house and pets!

Laura

This is the second time we have used Laura. Indeed, we specifically asked her if she would like to come to Valencia again and take care of our three cats. She is a wonderful, smart, reliable person who took great care of our pets. They warm up to her immediately--even the one who usually is very shy. It was so nice for us to know she was there while we traveled. We had no concerns whatsoever and came home to find our cats healthy and happy. She is the best!

Elena

Five starts all the way around! Glenda went above and beyond for me. She took amazing care of my home (lots of plants) and care of my many critters - 2 parrots, dog, cat, koi in my pond and aquarium fish. I am trying to snag her availability for my next trip unless someone grabs her first!

Bailey

My sit with Reese( the dog) was one of the nicest and so peaceful!
A lovel home in a lovely central part of Atlanta
But mostly I enjoyed the peaceful loving 
energy of this sweet dog!
I would highly recommend this pet-sit in the future
My old Volvo also appreciated staying in the garage out of the heat…..
Thankyou Bailey

Sue

We had a lovely time.  Sue and Andrew are very helpful and generous hosts. Sachin and Freddy are great dogs. We feel fortunate and grateful to have had this opportunity.

Dewon

Rebecca's pets and home were lovely and comfortable and her instructions super clear and toughtful, and she is such a nice and relaxed person. The surroundings are also really calming with nice mountain views and countryside feeling.

Sara

Bodie is something of a nervous dog but once he has had a chance to get to know you he will calm down and enjoy your company. This is a beautifully appointed home and I thoroughly enjoyed walking Bodie in his neighborhood.

Luis

I highly enjoyed sitting for Luis. His place is clean, spacious, and comfortable. His instructions for caring for his home and Optimus were clear and easy to follow. Optimus is very sweet and easygoing. He was a bit shy at first, but we quickly became friends. Opti is an awesome little guy, I would happily sit him again.

Carol

We enjoyed our time in Montrose caring for Nochi and would recommend this sit in the future. Carol's home is immaculate and comfortable. She provided detailed instructions and was quick to reply to any correspondence by text. Jeff was able to work remotely in a quiet dedicated office space. Recreational opportunities abound in this outdoorsy town and surrounding area. Nochi was easy to care for. He warmed up to me immediately and I found him to be sweet, affectionate, and good company. He will let you know his preferences. He slept with us at night, but can be encouraged not to if you prefer that. We did not get to meet Carol. She accommodated our work and travel needs, which we greatly appreciated. Thank you!
