Sharon & Craig were wonderful! We had a great conversation before they arrived and went over all the information about the house and how to take care of Haley. While we were away, we got updates on Haley. The best one was with a picture of Haley curled up next to Craig with a note that said "no need to worry about me, mom." Haley can be shy around new people, and we were especially pleased to get a picture of her out and about on our first day away. It was clear that Haley took to them quickly and was calm and relaxed when we got back. Sharon and Craig also took wonderful care of our house - we think it looked even better when we got home than when we left. They even left some goodies in the refrigerator for our return which was a lovely surprise and one that we were very grateful for after long travel day. While we were gone, I got a shipping notification that a package with candles in it had been delivered. I was worried because there was a heatwave at the time. I reached out to Sharon to ask them to bring the package inside so that the candles wouldn't melt. She responded quickly and said that the package was already in, along with several others. Happy cat. . . happy house. . . lovely couple. We highly recommend them and would be delighted to have them sit for us again. We only wish that we had an opportunity to meet them in person and hear about their travels across the United States. We wish them safe travels, other pet sits with fur babies to bond to, and hope to connect with them again in the future.

Annabel
Looking after Superstars Skip and sister Eve was a pleasure. They are adorable dogs with nice characters :-). Annabel and Peter were very helpful from start to finish and the whole sit went very smoothly. Skip and Eve live in a beautiful part of the world in a stunning home with gorgeous countryside views. The lovely town of Sherborne is only ten minutes drive and Dorchester 25 minutes through the stunning Dorset hills.
A lovely sit, highly recommended :-).
Thanks Annabel and Peter :-)

Karina
Arranging the sit with Karina was easy as she is very responsive to questions and left very clear written instructions. Tom was also helpful in showing me the local area and the many different places for food. North Clapham tube is just a short walk away and so the flat is very conveniently located. The flat is very secure and has everything I needed. I enjoyed looking after Copper - he's so laid back (apart from feeding time, when he's very front footed!), he's a gentle, sweet soul who likes company and is quick to purr!

I had the absolute pleasure of looking after Wonderful Waffle this September. Tessa and Nigel were the most gracious of hosts and welcomed me into their home. They had great communication in the lead up to and during the sit. They were kind enough to collect me from the station the day before they left for their holiday. The location of the home is perfect, very easy walk to the high street, and the garden is beautiful. Waffle was a little angel and just as sweet as her namesake, full of energy and a great companion for the week. We went on some beautiful walks, during which Waffle led the way when I wasn’t 100% sure where to go, so I was very impressed by her. Would definitely recommend looking after Waffle for Tessa and Nigel in lovely Haslemere if given the chance.

Thanks for a great stay! We had a few hiccups but all manageable. Leo will bark for a whole minute to let you know who's boss then will proceed to be your buddy and jump in your lap any time you sit. Ralphy and Gage are sweethearts too and love to be right there with you for some cuddles too. The routine looks a little daunting but is really quite easy with just a morning and evening meal with meds that go in their food. Plus a doggie door so you don't have to worry about rushing back every few hours. They enjoyed our walks and did well, with just a little barking at other dogs from Leo but no aggression or uncontrollable behaviors. Gizmo is a love too and easy to care for.

The house is in a prime location for walking to restaurants, shops, a brewery and Tennyson and all that has to offer. It was very comfortable and well-appointed. (I got to try an air fryer!). I'd be happy to stay again.

I had a great stay at Molly and Graham's home. It was clean, quiet, and welcoming. The boys were very standoffish when we first met, but I was told that would be the case. By the end of the final day, they no longer gave me the huge eyes and suspicious looks. Instead, Boobie was rubbing on my legs as I dished up their two-times per day "yummies" and Smokey was now in the same room. They were both very quiet and nonintrusive - perfect to get some work accomplished. Their home is also conveniently located to some beautiful locations perfect for a morning stroll (I did that twice) and exploring. The bed was comfortable, the Wifi was fast, and all-in-all it was a great stay. Exactly the break I needed. I would highly recommend.
