Abby
We had a very enjoyable 4½ week sit at Abby and Graham's lovely home caring for their dog Cara, cat Lila, horse Charlotte and the 3 chooks.

Abby was a great communicator before and during the sit and emailed the detailed Welcome Guide well in advance of our sit. We had clear instructions on how to care for the pets. On arrival, we did the handover outdoors with masks on under COVID-19 principles.  We went for a walk with Abby and Cara to get the layout of the farm and walking route. Abby showed how to give Charlotte her tablet at feed time which was very easy and explained  the various foods kept in the stable. Graham showed us how to operate the key safe, where the fire wood was stored and how to clean out the fire box. We were very grateful for the loan of gumboots and heavy outdoor jackets for our walks and animal duties as it was very cold and often damp weather with some muddy paddocks. Thankfully their kit fitted us!

Abby and Graham’s home is spacious, clean and very comfortable with three lounge areas that we could have used but we stuck to the TV area adjacent to the kitchen. Our queen size bed was very warm and comfortable and there was plenty of room for our clothes in the wardrobe. Our bathroom had both a shower and a bath with great water pressure. Abby generously offered us use of the pantry staples and the lovely fresh eggs and made plenty of room for our groceries in the pantry and fridge. There was plenty of cookware and utensils so we lacked for nothing.

Cara is an adorable bundle of energy who is undergoing training with specific commands. Abby provided clear instructions for us so we could continue Cara's training. This was generally easy as she is very food motivated. She loved us being outside with her and going for walks around the property boundary. Every now and then her herding character would take over and she would chase the horse and refuse to come when called but this was expected given she is young and still in training. She was happiest when we were outside giving her lots of attention.

Lila was easy to look after and was great at letting us know when she wanted to go out and come back inside and when it was dinner time. She spent most of the time sleeping on the lounge and had a snuggle near us. She and Cara got on really well.

Charlotte is gentle and a real sweetie and would come when called for breakfast, if she wasn’t already waiting. We didn't have to adjust her rugs at all. She was very patient when Cara annoyed her!

The 3 chooks gave us 2-3 eggs each day and loved getting their bowl of vege scraps each day. They were very friendly and easy to care for.

Abby always responded promptly to our update text messages and any queries we had during this sit. 

The West Gippsland area is stunning country with lots to explore. We were able to leave the animals for several hours to visit local attractions. We loved our drive to Walhalla, Yarragon and Noojee and our walks at Toorongo Falls, Glen Nayook and Nangara Reserve. Warragul was best for shopping, about 25 minutes drivecaway, and we loved the Warragul Farmers Markets for fresh produce and locally made foods. The Neerim South IGA had a good range of products including some local wines and cheeses which we tried. Neerim South’s cafe, brewery and gallery were all great too. We enjoyed some good meals at the Noojee Hotel, the Tool Shed, the Neerim South Hotel and our favourite Everything’s Better With Wine at Warragul which showcases Gippsland produced wines and food. 

We had a wonderful time and highly recommend sitting at Abby and Graham’s place. We would happily return again.

Dennis
Mo and Diesel are truly special dogs - as gentle and cuddly as they are big and strong. It was a joy to spend time with these lovable giants during our stay (my son accompanied me). Dennis was super friendly and hospitable, making us feel right at home. His beautiful house provided a comfortable place to rest, while the large patio and backyard offered the perfect space to play and relax with the dogs. The entire experience was amazing!  We're grateful for the opportunity to care for Mo and Diesel, and would happily do so again anytime. PS-I miss Diesel hogging--errr, I mean sharing--the bed with me!

We had a lovely stay in Black Mountain at Mike and Kimberly's place with Annie and Alex.  Mike and Kimberly are generous, laid-back and devoted doggie parents.  Annie and Alex are very affectionate and truly low maintenance, requiring only feeding, letting in and out and LOTS of couch cuddling!  They're used to being left in for the day while mom and dad are at work, so we were able to get out and explore the area without worrying about leaving them for a few hours.

Their home is comfortable and the kitchen well-equipped for cooking.  We felt welcome and at home from the minute we got there.   It was too cold in January for us to enjoy the deck and yard, but it's a great space for when it's a little warmer.  They are 20 minutes from Asheville, but don't neglect spending some time in Black Mountain itself.  What a great town!  We had plenty to do (and eat and drink) without ever going to Asheville!  They're a four minute drive from Pisgah Brewing where we enjoyed live music and some fine adult beverages both Saturday nights we were there.  Don't miss it!  

We were Mike and Kimberly's first sitters through the TH site and were truly gratified that they were able to go away on their cruise and not worry about the beloved kids they were leaving behind.  

If you're invited to spend some time with this great family, don't hesitate!  You'll have a great experience and make some new friends as well!  

Thanks, Mike and Kimberly!

Anderley gave me such a warm welcome when I arrived at her beautiful home - the views across the vineyard and rolling fields are absolutely stunning from the main room (kitchen - dining - lounge), where there is a cosy log burner and Aga too. Both dogs were good as gold and very well trained - I found them easy to look after. There is a huge choice of routes for walks through the countryside, directly from the house and a good pub at the end of the road. Highly recommend this sit and I would happily return. Thank you again, Anderley.
