It was barely a week before Christmas that we decided that Henry would rather be at home with a sitter , than travel with us the Canberra- he is not a happy car traveller. We advertised the dates and Sami and Sean were interested , but not sure if they had all their details ready for a first sit for zeewoi. Sami and I had a phone chat and it all fell into place quickly with a video call with both of them the next day. We invited them to stay over the night before we were leaving, as we would be leaving fairly early on Christmas Eve and they would be driving from Mudgee having just completed a work project there. We then promptly accepted an invitation to be out the evening they were arriving, which was not very good form, but it was to go carol singing. They very kindly waited till we got home before arriving to meet us and Henry and Lily. Sean helped us with a hefty trunk we had to pack, and we got away as early as planned. Henry had obviously already decided that they were lovely too. Photos and updates came through, and we were delighted that they accepted our invitation for them to have a couple of friends over for a Christmas Eve dinner, and they shared the photo of that too. For our return, all used sheets and towels were placed in the laundry after they had asked me what my preference was . Half an hour before we arrived home, there was a heavy rain storm, resulting in water coming thorugh our ceiling where it had already leaked a few weeks before, and repairs had not yet been started. They quickly located a bucket and 'dog towels' and managed the water as well as we could have. They are a lovely couple, and we would have them sit for us again in a heartbeat. So would Henry.

I met Becky to hand over keys and show her around. My first impression  was that she was warm and caring and really attentive to what I was asking and to the animals. She stayed in touch whilst we were away sending us lovely photos. She was really flexible when some scaffolding needed to be put up and the house was immaculate on our return, the cats seemed very happy. I’d have her to stay again in a flash.

Hope treated Dolly like her own, she was all I could have asked for and more! Hope was very detail-orientated and kept in communication about what her and Dolly were doing. Her and her family incorporated her in activities, which isn't always easy when your furry friend has a disability. I felt so comfortable leaving Dolly in such capable, loving hands. On top of that, she left my house cleaner than when I left it! I would whole-heartedly recommend Hope to anyone needing care of their pet.

Jamey stayed with our two moderately high-strung dachshunds and did a great job.  She sent pics of them almost every day lounging in the sun and hanging with her on the patio which was great to see while we were out of state.  I would love to have her stay again.
