Steven, Judith and their daughters Rose and Esther were wonderful house sitters. We communicated well from the very beginning and had daily updates during our time away. On our return, the house was beautifully clean and tidy. Judith had baked a delicious apple pie to welcome us home. The girls took on responsibilities for the chickens and ducks as well as the honesty box at the top of the drive. Steven did a great job in the garden. He picked all of our apples that would otherwise have fallen in the windy conditions and rescued our crop of carrots from marauding rabbits. The lawns were also nicely mowed. This had been a rather challenging house sit for various reasons. Firstly, our beloved Rosie had sadly died just a few weeks before they came. Una was therefore on her own so she enjoyed walks and lots of loving attention. Secondly, one of horses, Cubley, developed a sore hind foot just a few days before the house sit which necessitated both Blue and Cubley being on stable rest throughout the house sit. Even though this was an unexpected level of responsibility, they took on the challenge willingly and coped well in the circumstances. Finally, we had been having some unresolved issues with the heating system. Steven showed initiative and contacted the heating engineers independently. Given these unexpected issues, Steven, Judith and their girls were wonderful and took everything on board as far as they could. We are sorry that they had more responsibilities than originally agreed and hope that this did not detract from their experience. We would certainly welcome them back to our home at a time when hopefully circumstances are back to normal.

Clare was fantastic in looking after my kitties, and kept me updated daily. She looked after the cats and the house as if it were her own, and went above and beyond during her stay. I cannot recommend her enough! The cats were very pleased and so am I!

Natalie was wonderful with both of our pets.  Our dog fell in love with her and she was almost sorry to see us come home!  Our very old cat looked splendid.  Natalie send many pictures and videos so we  felt comfortable with her sit.  She is wonderful!

I can’t recommend Megan enough! She was an amazing pet/house sitter. She was easy to communicate with and provided excellent care for our pup. She was also extremely flexible when I messed up our flights and came home 1 day early.
