Jo and Jon have been our longest petsitters to date as we were away for three and a half weeks. We had "met" on Zoom on a couple of occasions and they came down to visit us and have an introduction to the house and dogs a week or two before the actual sit.This was great as we could show them round and talk them through the details of the sit in a nice relaxed manner. It certainly meant that the handover when we left to go on holiday was very straightforward. They were great at keeping in touch while we were away with updates on how the dogs were doing. There were one or two unexpected glitches while we were away. One of our dogs came in season shortly after we left so needed to be monitored on walks rather more closely than usual but they were very vigilant and careful about where and when they walked her. There was also an issue with our underfloor heating but they liaised with our daughter about it. The dogs were very happy and looked in great shape when we returned and seemed very relaxed with Jo and Jon. Since our return the dogs have been going upstairs to sit outside Jo and Jon's bedroom and I'm sure they are convinced that they are still hiding in there! The house was just as we left it and had obviously been well cared for in our absence. There were also fresh flowers which was a lovely touch. We are really grateful for the excellent house sit by Jo and Jon and for looking after the dogs so well, and we hope they will house/dog sit for us again sometime.

Jackie
It was a pleasure to sit for Oscar and Harriet, 2 delightful well behaved dachshunds, who were great company and a joy to spend time with, both at home and out and about.  Jackie and Alan warmly welcomed us into their beautiful home where there was everything you could possibly need, and a lovely garden to relax in.  Excellent communication and instructions were given, including helpful info about the area.  A wonderful location just minutes from the beach and a short drive to the Norfolk Broads.  We would highly recommend this sit and are looking forward to our return.

Gayner
It was an absolute pleasure to meet Gayner and her family, and to spend time with their adorable pets. Darcy, Lady, Solo and Kitty (and the guinea pigs) are very affectionate and easy to care for - they love nothing more than cuddling on the couch with you. The pet's daily routine is stress-free and completely manageable by one person, and Darcy and Lady are excellent to walk both on and off lead. Gayner's house is lovely and very clean, and is close to many different walks and public transport options (including links to London). Amenities are also walkable and there are lots of things to do around Milton Keynes. The room Gayner provided was excellent, and had a very comfortable bed. Gayner and her family were welcoming and gave me lots of information about the area to make sure I felt at home and was able to take advantage of what Milton Keynes has to offer. They were also kind enough to allow my mother to stay for the second half of the house sit, which I really appreciated. Communication was great and I had no concerns about reaching out if I needed assistance. A thoroughly enjoyable experience, thanks Gayner and family 😊

Simone
This was a wonderful sit in a beautiful part of England with two adorable dogs. Rocco greeted me every morning with a grin and a little ‘happy dance’ and snuggled in my lap at night. Enzo his much larger younger brother was the best boy and loved a game, cuddles and company. They were both well trained and easy to handle and good company during my stay. 
Simone and Oliver are a lovely couple who went out of their way to make my stay as comfortable as possible. I greatly enjoyed their company and would happily sit for them again. Marlborough is a beautiful town within walking distance, with excellent cafes restaurants gift shops and boutiques to name a few.  There are lots of attractions both in the town and in the surrounding areas, with  scenic walks at the doorstep. I highly recommend this sit .

Maria was SO welcoming and helpful—I appreciate the cookies she left for me! Jade and Sasha are wonderful girls and very loving. Jade will be your biggest fan and follow you pretty much everywhere. Sasha is addicted to all things fetch.

I got along well with the community and Germantown has so much to offer!
