Dog Sitters in Branksome

It was wonderful to have Hannah sit for me! She is extremely self-reliant and responsible. She loves animals and sent me pictures of my cats hanging around her when she was doing her morning yoga. As one is very shy, this told me a lot about her care for them. While I was gone she even took care of a situation that arose regarding someone who wanted to purchase a couch I had for sale. ´No worries!´ Hannah took care of everything for me. My home was clean and the cats were happy!!! Hannah is absolutely wonderful.

I cannot recommend Clare and Noel highly enough. They are models for what pet and house-sitters should be. They came to visit and meet me and the cats before the sit, so that Elvis and Tina (the cats) could start to get to know them well in advance of the actual sit. Clare and Noel also arrived a night early to take away any pressure of time – it was great for both me and the cats to have an evening and morning with them. It also gave us time to talk through everything in a relaxed way. Communication before, during and even after the sit has been wonderful. I had photos and videos every day, so I knew my kitties were happy and loved as the purring in the videos testified. Clare and Noel were self-reliant and also asked questions or checked in with me when needed – they showed really good judgement. They took good care of my home, even chopping some wood for kindling and handling communications with oil deliveries. I could not have asked for more care. I came home to a spotless house (and clean refrigerator!), washed linens and towels with the bed re-made and a few essentials in the refrigerator to help me my first day back – so so thoughtful. And Noel had laid a fire for me so I could have a cosy evening with no effort. I think my two cats miss them already, as do I 😊. I feel as though I have gained two new friends. We would all be very happy to welcome Noel and Clare back to Yew Tree Cottage. Thank you, Clare and Noel!

David and Fiona were fab pet/ house sitters. They catered beautifully for our two dogs, taking into account the dog’s different personalities. We felt confident having met them that the dogs and our home were in safe hands. A lovely, kind couple who were self sufficient and communicative Can highly recommend

Lee and Richard are wonderful house sitters and we are so glad they could sit for us again, having looked after our cat in March. I had regular photos from Lee with updates on life at home while we were away. We arrived home to find the place very clean and tidy and they had kindly left us milk in the fridge and bread for our breakfast next morning. There was a query on the phone and Lee sent me a message so we were able to deal with all this while we were away. Thanks so much Lee and Richard for being absolute stars and you are welcome to return at any time!

Bridget and Ian are absolutely wonderful sitters and we were really delighted they returned to us for this second sit ( and I’m very much hoping there will be future ones too). They are kind and caring and affectionate, I had lovely puss updates, photos, videos whilst we were away and our cat Sookie was completely happy and relaxed when we got back home. Bridget and Ian also tended and watered our numerous garden pots in the hottest week of the year so far. Communications are brilliant before during and after the sit. The house was super tidy, you wouldn’t know anyone had stayed. They are a really lovely couple and I will be trying to tempt them back again when we have a future sit need of the right sort of length. Can’t recommend highly enough! Thank you Bridget and Ian.

It was a great pleasure to have Nick and Kayla take care of our house, dogs and chicken. Everything was perfect - our dogs were sad to see Nick and Kayla leave. The house was spotless. We highly recommend Nick and Kayla - they are always welcome at our place

Brad and Heather were superb house sitters . They were organised and totally reliable. The dogs clearly loved them and they were beautifully looked after and much loved! On our return the house was immaculately clean and tidy. I cannot recommend Brad and Heather more highly and we would love to have them here again when we next go away. Thank you for everything Brad and Heather.

Teresa looked after our treasured cat Ziggy. We arrived home to a very contented Cat. Our lodge was left very clean and tidy and Teresa had done the washing. She also left us a gift and some beautiful flowers. We hope Teresa will be back in the future to look after Ziggy.

Jaimie and Owen were great Housesitter’s. Very chilled and super capable of looking after everything when we were away. The dogs had a lovely time and our home was exactly as we left it. Jaimie also ensured that our holiday lets were locked/unlocked for guests as required. I couldn’t ask for more and totally recommend Jaimie & Owen and hope they will come again.

Katie is an excellent house and pet sitter. It was clear that the dogs had been happy in our absence and she left the house clean and tidy. She kept in touch with us by WhatsApp and we could tell from having spent the evening with her before our departure that she would not be daunted by the responsibility of caring for the two dogs alone. Thank you Katie - I hope we’ll see you again!

Kate and Henry are lovely folk! Perfect house guests leaving the place nice and tidy. Highly recommend, hopefully see them again soon! Thanks for all your help!

Elaine & Tony were perfect.Bed linen and towels all washed, house hoovered, fridge and kitchen spotless, woodburner cleaned of ash. The boys [dogs] said they had a lovely time! We hope Elaine & Tony will come again. Roger & Pat
