We were thrilled to have Dan and Lana back for a second home/pet stay. Our first experience with them last year left quite an impression on us for so many reasons. They are incredibly attuned to our dogs' unique behaviors. Both are storied rescues. They have their antics and quirks and will push boundaries when given the opportunity. This second go round with our pups, Dan and Lana deepened their relationship with both. They strike a beautiful balance between being playful and working with each dog. As an example, Rupa often wakes up quite early and with unbridled exuberance. Dan and Lana find positive and effective ways to diffuse this energy so that all can move into the day more calmly. This same approach was used for meal time. They ask Freya to wait outside the kitchen as they prepare their meals. Rupa also waits for her food with less cattle dog drama! Dan and Lana are truly gifted when it comes to canine communication. Just as was true with their first stay with us, they shared dinner with us when we got home and relayed invaluable training tips as well as observations they made while walking the trails, playing fetch, etc. These are people we have complete trust in, making our travels completely worry free. They leave our home clean and well ordered making our return a breeze. Beyond their capacity to work with our dogs, they're wonderful people who we now consider friends. We feel honored and very fortuntate to have this relationship and will definitely call them back when next we travel.

I had an amazing stay at Sharon and Chris’s house. They are wonderful people and very welcoming. They make you feel very relaxed in their beautiful home. Everything was great, they kindly picked me up at airport and we had a lovely meal together on the first night. 

Harry is a sweetheart and very cute. He knew his routine, so it was easy to figure out what he wanted. We enjoyed playing with his toys and on an evening he was very chilled and liked to relax. 

The area is lovely and you can take smaller walks around the village or to longer walks to the nearby campo area. Harry also likes to chill at home and he has lots of space to run around , so walking is pretty flexible. 

I highly recommend this sit to others, you can’t find nicer people, Harry is adorable and the area is lovely.

What a wonderful sit.  
Nick and Gré are the most charming couple, really responsive and friendly and we had a lovely welcome from them and their lovely friendly dogs Pip and Oscar. 
They gave us gave us a full tour of the property and gave very good verbal instructions. We were also left with very clear written instructions about the dogs and the house. The house was clean and very comfortable, we especially loved the beautiful garden and pool. 
The 2 dogs Pip and Oscar are absolute dream dogs to take care of. Both great company and fun to be with. They were very playful with each other and with us but also very calm and loved a cuddle. 
We very much enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this sit. We would love to sit again.

Geoffroy & Cybille
We loved looking after Prana and Bibi! Two cuddly pets that were very easy to care for. The house was clean, comfy and instructions were very clear. Geoffroy and Cybille were very kind and easy to communicate with through the stay. Thanks guys!

Rossana
Loki was such a cute floof and good ball and we had a great weekend together in Munich! He is obviously a bigger dog so he has strength when on the leash, but nothing unexpected from a dog that size. When out and about he is such a gentle dog towards others and doggies alike. He is such a sweetheart and super calm and affectionate at home and likes to play with his toys and taking a nap on your feet when working from home. Rossana was a great host, Communication was easy and her cooked risotto was very good! I can only recommend spending time with Loki in Munich! :)

Scott and Charlotte
Scott and Charlotte are great hosts and their pleasant home is perfectly situated for exploring this beautiful part of the Wye Valley and the Brecon Beacons. 
There are lots of lovely walks to be had, plus interesting towns such as Hay on Wye, Brecon and Builth Wells all within close driving distance. 
Digby is a perfect companion - such a sweet dog. He has a lovely nature, he’s very affectionate, impeccably behaved and extremely well trained. He was an absolute pleasure to walk with and it’s impossible not to fall a little bit in love with him!

Julie
We were given a very warm welcome by Julie & Patrick and felt comfortable in their beautiful home. Lottie & Jack were a delight to look after and we enjoyed the woodland walks on the doorstep. They were well behaved and enjoyed all the love and attention you can give them:)  The house was very comfortable and we appreciated the electric blanket and the Aga!
Communication from Julie and Patrick was excellent and they were contactable during our stay.
We would definitely dogsit for them again.
