Glenda and Martin were amazing pet sitters for my 3 girls. Before the actual sitting started we made arrangements for Glenda and Martin to meet the dogs as the dogs are rather large and they can be a bit intimidating when met all together, but Glenda and Martin were so natural with them and obviously liked them from the start and our girls relaxed very quickly with them. Glenda and Martin stayed with us for roughly an hour getting to know how we handled the girls and how the girls responded to their instructions, and I think were very pleased that the girls were so good. We explained the differences in them and medication requirements etc. and Glenda and Martin took it all on board. We made a second date for Glenda and Martin to come back and take the girls for a walk as they are big and a sitter needs to know if they are easy enough to walk. The girls passed their test, they are not perfect but if you know of any problems and how to respond to them then that is most of the battle won. The day came for us to leave for our break and as usual Glenda and Martin arrived in time for us to feed the girls before we left as we needed to show them how the girls get fed, i.e. where they like to sit and they have to wait before they get the command to eat. All went well and off we went. During our time away (1 week) Glenda kept me informed with texts and videos and photos regarding the girls and they all seem to have got on very well, so well that I thought the girls would have their bags packed and want to live with Glenda and Martin. We would be very happy to have Glenda and Martin sit for our girls any time, they were clean and tidy and left the house as they found it. This was the first time we have used a sitter and found the proposition of leaving someone in our home a bit daunting, but have got to say that our sitters left us happy to leave our home and our precious girls in their care. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

This was our second sit with Dee and John and we’re so glad we invited them back.
Charlie loves them and didn’t seem bothered about us being away - we received lots of lovely updates.
The house was spotless after the sit and they’d left us a lovely dinner for the evening we returned home - which was so appreciated after such a long flight and fighting jet lag.
We will be inviting Dee and John back whenever we book to go away. They’re so highly recommended 😊 xx

Alysa and David are some of the best sitters we've had. They were kind enough to arrive the night before so we had time to introduce them to the dogs and give them the rundown.  The dogs liked them immediately.  They walked the dogs on the beach both days we were gone, and when the dogs rolled in dead mammals, they were thoughtful enough to give them showers so they were clean when we got home. 

Alysa and David were capable, practical and very caring toward our dogs. When we arrived home the house was just as we'd left it not even cleaner. They left their room immaculate and left towels and sheets piled and ready for us to cycle through the wash.

Definitely recommend these two!

Diane was very accommodating and came to visit us prior to our vacation, since she lives in the area.  It was nice to be able to share a cup of tea and get to know her a little better.  Our cat, Leroy, is a very shy boy and tends to hide when someone comes to our house.  In the case of our 4-day absence, he didn't come out to meet Diane, which was disappointing to her.  She did report that she saw him streaking through the kitchen once or twice, so we knew he was coming out to eat, but Diane would have dearly loved to have had him on her lap!  Maybe next time. Thanks for your patience, Diane.
