Pet Sitters in Bursledon

Mark

Mark was super organised and we stayed in regular contact prior to and during the stay. The house was left tidy and the cats were content - it’s like we’d never left!

Hilary

Hilary and Tim were exceptionally good at caring for our dog and cat. In fact, at one point we thought our dog was going to jump in the car and go home with them. We came back to a lovely clean house, a warm welcome and a hot meal. They obviously loved being with the animals, which made our holiday so much more relaxing as we weren't worrying about our pets. We very much hope they will come and housesit for us again. Don't hesitate to accept them if they offer to sit.

Stacey & Pamela

We met both Stacey and Pam when they came to introduce themselves to us and the dogs a couple of months before the sit. We took to them immediately, as did the dogs. Very friendly, fun and interesting. Unfortunately, Pam couldn’t make the sit this time, so it was Stacey flying solo! Stacey was very laid back, just the ticket in the Cyprus heat. The dogs were very relaxed around her, and Stacey proved to be very self sufficient with getting around, days on the beach etc. We got regular pupdates and communication was great between us when we could be contacted. Stacey is obviously an animal lover, very experienced and competent. We would recommend her, and Pam, to anyone.

Nicola

Nicola was fantastic, great communication. She kept us up to date on how things were going and how Pepper was which was much appreciated. Would not hesitate to have Nicola sit for us again.

Gillian

Gillian was amazing. We couldn’t fault her in any way. She took such good care of our pets, listened to and followed everything we said and looked after the house really well as well. I would thoroughly recommend her for any house sit in the future and we’d welcome her back here any time.

Lorena

Arrived at the agreed time, looked after my pets and left my home as tidy as I had left it. No issues. Very pleased

Faye

Faye was a fantastic pet sitter. Excellent communication throughout and we felt very happy and relaxed to leave our home and pets in her safe hands. She kept us updated whilst we were away with photos of the dogs looking very content. It was lovely to come back to a clean and tidy home and two very happy dogs. I would definitely recommend Faye to petsit for anyone!

Janine & Ryan

If I could award Janine and Ryan more than five stars for their extraordinary pet care, I wouldn't hesitate for a moment. My heartfelt appreciation for their dedication to my beloved Louie is immeasurable. Just days before my scheduled vacation, Louie fell ill, casting a shadow of doubt over my plans. Despite the unexpected turn of events, Janine and Ryan stepped in with unwavering commitment, ready to administer his newly prescribed medication and provide the tender care he needed. Entrusting them with Louie, who was refusing food and in need of coaxing just to eat, was a decision that I am profoundly grateful for. Their exceptional patience and persistence in administering his medicine, coupled with their efforts to entice him with various foods, were nothing short of remarkable. Their detailed updates brought me immense relief, especially when Louie began to eat and show signs of recovery a day after my departure. Rebecca's sweet and gentle demeanour was a comforting presence for Louie as well. But their care extended beyond my pet; they were the epitome of self-sufficiency, treating my home with the utmost respect. Janine and Ryan went above and beyond my simple request of starting a load of laundry, leaving all towels and linens washed and neatly hung to dry. The cleanliness of my home upon my return, including a spotless litter tray for Louie, was the cherry on top of their impeccable service. I wholeheartedly endorse Janine, Ryan, and Rebecca for any pet-sitting engagement. Their respect and care for both my home and pet have set a new standard for what I consider exceptional service. They are truly a rare find, and any pet would be fortunate to be under their watchful and loving care.

Steve & Yvonne

Steve and Yvonne were wonderful in their care of my cat Whisky. They were attentive and even engaged him in play. I would highly recommend them.

Barbara

We invited Barbara to come and look after Whiskey for us and she was very quick to respond and keen to help. We had a chat and Barbara arrived promptly at the requested time and had a fun time with Whiskey, taking her on long walks, looking after her and enjoying her company, when we got home Barbara said she had enjoyed herself and she left the house clean and tidy. From our experience I would highly recommend Barbara to look after your dog, Whiskey had lots of cuddles and fun. Thank you so much, Barbara.

Harriet

Harriet and Joe were our first sitters and they have set the bar high! They did a super job of looking after our cats and home. Would highly recommend them to anyone.

Jessica & Gregorio

Jessica and Greg were very affectionate towards our animals and took good care of our house. Everything was clean and ok! It would be nice to see them back soon.

Sarah

Evelyn was very helpful when we had to go out of town at a time when our dog needed extra care post surgery. She did her physical therapy exercises with her and cared for our other pets as well. We would definitely have her back:)

Rhiannon

My experience house-sitting for Rhiannon was fantastic! Ghost truly made the stay special. His friendly demeanor and playful nature were a joy to be around.

Rhiannon’s downtown apartment is perfectly situated, offering an incredible location within walking distance to everything you might need. The convenience of being so close to shops, restaurants, and attractions made my stay even more enjoyable.

Communication with Rhiannon was seamless, and her clear instructions made settling in easy. The entire experience was smooth and hassle-free.

I wholeheartedly recommend this house-sitting opportunity and would jump at the chance to return. Thank you, Rhiannon, for entrusting me with your home and Ghost! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Georgia

Chester is a friendly and playful dog.  I followed the instructions to just play ball with him in the garden rather than walk him through the week which he enjoyed. The house is nice, clean and tidy an comfortable. Georgia welcomed me and left clear instructions easy to follow I was able to meet them prior to the sit which they require to get to know Chester.  I sent regular pictures of Chester. 
The house in St Peter is best suited to have a car so you can go out and about and not leave Chester for more than 4 hours. Georgia and Gus did offer use of the vehicle initially but unfortunately, last minute on the morning of the sit starting they informed me that would not be possible for the week of my stay so it was a little different for me to be alone.  
The beach is a couple of miles 40 min hill walk and there's a small supermarket 2. 5 miles main supermarket in Speightstown or a little further to Holetown. 

I have sat this neighbourhood prior but different circumstances. It could be a nice sit for those who sit as a couple on the site as it's a quiet secluded but family neighbourhood.  If your solo like I was on the sit it can get a bit isolated but if you wish to get away from it all you can have a retreat.

Lawson

Lawson and Alma were great—very kind, communicative, and easy to talk to. And Nacho was such an easy guy to spend my time in Utrecht with. He’s sweet, playful, well-behaved, and loves his walks. He also loves early mornings! Haha. Lawson and Alma gave me some tips to manage that and it worked like a charm!

Their home is wonderful, and in such a great location. Highly recommend sitting with them!
