Barbara took excellent care of our largeish (35kg) dog, Owen. She took him on loads of walks to the nearby parks and sent lots of updates, one of which became my new cellphone background
Andy + Sara were the BEST sitters for Prawn and Taco whilst we were out of the country for an extended period. They kept us up to date with their antics and never made us feel like pests for wanting to hear how they were once per day ;) They looked after our place very well. In fact, it was spotless when we got home (tidier than we keep it) which was such a nice thing to come home to. Not only that, but Sara made us a home cooked dinner as well. Dreamy. We had lots of uncertainties about our travel dates due to the pandemic and ended up having to extend our stay, Andy and Sara were so flexible and made what should have been a stressful time the opposite. We're so grateful to them for that! We wish they could look after Prawn + Taco every time we go away (the cats would be thrilled by that, Prawn still misses Sara!)
