Pet Sitters in Branksome

Yulia & Paul

Yulia, Paul and Elanie were the perfect sitters! They took excellent care of our lively cocker spaniel and two elderly rabbits. It was a big deal for us to leave Lily (our spaniel) for so long, but we felt completely reassured knowing she was being well looked after. Yulia sent us regular updates while we were away, and the family were so sweet and even celebrated Lily's birthday! We came home to a very happy and sleepy dog after many long walks and exciting games of fetch. The rabbits had runs every day, and the house was perfectly clean and tidy. The best house sitters - I'm sure Lily misses them already ❤️

Ellie

Gemma was a great cat sitter! Finny was well taken care of and received lots of love! She left the house very clean and kept in touch throughout my trip! I would have her back anytime !

Carrie

Carrie was an excellent dog-sitter and very communicative. We loved receiving photo updates of their adventures together, and saw he had a lovely bond with Carrie. We returned to a clean and tody house and happy dog. Would highly recommend as a pet-sitter and we hope to see Carrie again soon.

Laura & Gavin

We’re so lucky to have found Laura and Gavin! They look after the dogs as if they are their own and the house is always immaculate on return. We’re very grateful!

Sharon

Sharon lives fairly close by and so we met each other a few weeks beforehand when she popped over to meet the cats. It was evident as soon as she met them that she was wholly concerned with their welfare. On the day we left to go away, Sharon arrived early at a time convenient for us and she was flexible when my husband had to return home earlier than anticipated. She’s evidently a very organised person, reading our welcome guide and contacting me when I’d forgotten something. Because she works from home, it was nice to know she would not be out all day and would be some company for our cats. She kept in touch with us, sent news and reassurance that Mitsy had been medicated. Our house was tidy and clean upon our return. Sharon has a lovely calm aura about her and instinctively knew I could trust her and she would respect our home; which she did in abundance! We would have Sharon look after our cats again without hesitation.

Rachel

Rachel was an absolute star sitter. Sully adored her and all the extra attention and fusses, and especially the adventures into the Lakes. Really easy to communicate with, and happy to make herself at home with minimal fuss, and left the house spotless and super tidy when I got home after a very long day. She even remembered to feed the fish, which I often forget myself! An absolute pleasure to host.

laura

Laura was a wonderful House sitter. She looked after the house and cats with such care and mindfulness which we all appreciated. We came home and it looked like no one had ever been. Even the plants seemed to have grown a few inches. Laura was a good communicator and very adaptable. We screwed up on our communication when plans changed and Laura was patient and tolerant despite this clearly having inconvenienced her in no small way - sorry again Laura! We really can't rate Laura highly enough and would recommend her and gladly have her back.

Georgina

Great sitter who came last minute for a night to help me out and walked Ditto on the beach. Please come back again soon!

Claire

We felt very comfortably and confident leaving our dog with Claire and Ric. I think they have quite a soft spot for Truffle which is evident by her happy kids on our return. We can whole heartedly recommend them as trusted pet/housesitters. Thank you 🙏🏻

Nicola

Nicola is a lovely person, genuine, honest and reliable. She formed a great friendship with Flossie and I returned to an exceptionally tidy house and a very contented dog. I cannot recommend Nicola highly enough.

Vovka

Vovka and Paul were great. This was the first time we have used this scheme they were really relaxed and easy going. Every part of the experience has been easy and stress free. The house was spotless when we came home and the animals chilled and happy. We would welcome Vovka and Paul back again and also plan to use this scheme again in the future

Aurelia & Martin

Jane and Martin looked after Poppy so well, i think she might have liked them to stay forever! Thank you for taking such great care of her and our home, lovely to know everything was in safe hands! Would love to have both stay again.

Andrew

We enjoyed both our sits in the Dordogne at the wonderful property of Judith and Andrew.
Because of COVID-19, we had to improvise a little bit, but thanks to the frequent email and Skype contact with the owners all went well.
A lot of interesting places can be visited within an hours drive from the property, and a lot of pleasant walks through woods and fields start very nearby. 
Special thanks to the owners for having the swimming pool prepared for us: It contributed a lot to our great time over there.
We recommend the sit, and wouldn’t hesitate to come back again.

Ricky

I had a wonderful time with Sammy and can highly recommend this sit. Ricky and Kristina are great, warm-hearted people and it was so nice to get to know them both. They live in a brand new, wonderful apartment. The neighborhood is very pleasant and quiet, supermarket and everything you need just around the corner.

The communication with Ricky was super easy and smooth and Ricky always answered all my questions immediately. I totally fell in love with their wonderful dog Sammy. He has a strong little personality but quickly built up trust in me. I really enjoyed my 10 days with him. There is even a small trail nearby and Sammy and me loved to go for walks there. I already miss the cute fluffball and would look after Sammy and their home for Ricky and Kristina again at any time.

Sue

We had a great time in Chandler's Ford. There are 4 characterful, friendly cats to keep you company and they are pretty low maintanance apart from the fun bits of cuddling and playing with them. The house is done up to a high standard and there's a lovely garden to sit in on hot days as well. Sue was great with communication and she answered all our questions promptly.

David

Brave was a joy to be around! He was cuddly and sweet, very well mannered. David was great at communicating which made the sit very seamless. I hope to sit for them in the future.
