Shereen
It was an absolute pleasure to pet sit for Holly and Mango at Shereen and Fran’s house in Co. Wexford. Their home is beautifully situated in the tranquil countryside, very peaceful and quiet there. They have a gorgeous garden, full of plants, flowers and even an orchard section. There is an absolutely beautiful beach just 5 mins. walk from the house where I went to every day. I walked along the beach, in the sand dunes and also the cliff walk with Holly. Such a gorgeous setting for a pet sit.
As for the pets, Holly is just the most beautiful, gentle, friendly, pleasant and well-behaved dog you could ever hope to meet. She really is a delight and I enjoyed spending time with her. She loves her walks to the beach but is also happy to just relax on the sofa next to you in the evenings. 
Mango, the parrot, is quite the character. He is more reserved than Holly and I didn’t interact with him as much but he seems quite happy in his little area and occasionally comes out to fly around the room too. When it comes to food (and treats) though, this little boy definitely knows what he wants and how to get it!!!
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my time pet sitting in this lovely house and garden situated in such a beautiful part of the country with the most delightful pets. I would definitely love to come back some day.

Anna
It was a real pleasure staying at Anna & Andrew's beautiful home in a super part of Esher, in a lovely quite road with very little traffic passing by.  Charlie, the labrador, was a total delight, beautifully behaved and very obedient.  He really enjoyed his daily walks on the common which is very close to the house.  Pickle and Molly, the two enchanting cats, were super and very easy to look after.  Anna had left the most detailed information, with absolutely nothing left to chance, which was very helpful.  We kept in daily contact via mobile and there were no issues whatsoever. Strongly recommend this sit!

Karla
It was a pleasure to sit for Karla, Walter and Frankie. The communication was always fast, clear, and concise and we truly appreciated her extra effort to help accommodate a special request. We stayed with the pets at a family member's home in town and found it to be very accessible and dog friendly for walks. The beds were very comfortable, and the closet offered plenty of storage for our belongings.  Walter and Frankie were adorable to watch play together and so easy to care for. We would highly recommend this sit and will look forward to returning again in the future.

Juliet, Charles, Henry and James welcomed us to their home with an incredibly tasty fish pie. They are a very friendly, easy to talk to family and wonderful people. 
Hugo is full of beans, good with children and other pets, very lovable and extremely happy puppy. You will fall in love with him after a second!. 
Their home is a lovely, bright, comfortable place with a beautiful and big garden.
We feel really bless to have been able to spend a week, visiting the area and walking Hugo in the amazing surroundings. We definitely recommend this sitting and this family.

Thank you again!

Cody
Cody and Briana are awesome people. They’re very nice, friendly and graciously opened their home to us. Their house is amazingly comfortable. Their neighborhood was one where we felt very safe and it’s close to just about everything and everywhere you’d want to go in and around Denver. 
Maui and Daisy are beautiful dogs with great personalities. Maui, although he’s a big and strong boy, he is incredibly cuddly, friendly and very easy to be with. Daisy is very pretty, sweet, calm and friendly yet she seems to have separation anxiety. Any time she saw me get dressed or put shoes on  (I got smart and started getting dressed in the bathroom with the door closed!) she thought I was leaving the house and she would get very nervous and panicked. It was challenging to calm her down because she jumped up on me/us, whined and barked over and over but she acted like this ONLY when she thought we were leaving the house. It took me a day or so and figured out the guaranteed way to get her to calm down was to take her for a walk (without Maui) and when she came back into the house she was much calmer and seemed much happier and more relaxed. 
I always think it’s very cool to get to know people’s animals and to learn about their personalities and what makes them happy and relaxed. I’m glad we had a great time together. 
We really enjoyed our long weekend at Cody and Briana’s house and would definitely sit for Maui and Daisy again.

Lisa
Lisa has a beautiful home in a lovely location right next to the golf courses and highway. She was so communicative and responsive before, during, and after the sit. Lulu and Henry are such sweet and active pups – don't let their bark scare you! They are so friendly and kind, and we enjoyed our long walks through the neighborhood and along the dirt road with them. Definitely recommend this to sitters who enjoy an active lifestyle :) We also enjoyed the hot tub very much, it is the perfect spot to enjoy the sunset. Thank you very much Lisa!
