Where to begin? I guess with the joy of meeting such a beautiful young family of four. Due to a family emergency, I had to leave the country quickly, and Madeleine responded within a few hours of my posting the sit, and we confirmed quickly. Madeleine (Maddy); her husband, Sam; and their adorable, well-behaved and precocious (in the best possible!) children, Isaac and Hazel arrived a day early so I could show them around. They instantly connected with the dogs, and me, and I felt totally confident and at ease leaving the responsibilities of the dogs and house to them. While I was gone, they sent me regular updates, with photos, of their family outings on the property with the dogs, and I was completely at peace during a very difficult time, dealing with the loss of my son and my mother. What they didn’t send me were photos of all the mowing and brush cutting that Sam had been doing! Indeed, in addition to exceptional care of the dogs — and additional burdens like watering 90 young olive trees by hand, as well as other plants and garden, tending to hens — Sam tackled long overdue maintenance of the grounds, including tractor mowing and brush cutting with a powerful Stihl brush-cutter that I still don’t even dare to use! What a gift it was to return to such a tidy place. When I had to prolong my stay abroad and arranged to have another sitter come to fill in the gap, Maddy and Sam arranged for a perfect transition, explaining everything that needed to be done and how (not at all evident, and spread out all over the property), and it happened without a hitch. They left their guesthouse spotless, the grounds in better shape than it had been in months, and my two dogs happy and stress-free. I’m so grateful to all four of you for your kindness and generosity. I’m glad you live so close, so that you can come back and visit. You’re welcome anytime.

Mindi
This was our first sit and we couldn’t have had a more perfect experience! Mindi and Alan are both so welcoming and kind. Their place is clean and very comfortable. They have a beautiful home in a wonderful town. There is so much to do in this town and so many lovely/quaint restrooms and cafes. 

Prior to the sit we were provided with all the necessary information to take care of their sweet pup, Jazz. All instructions provided were clear and I was given a brief before the sit which was handy. Jazz was easy to care for. She really enjoys her walks and likes to do her own thing in the home. She is also very affectionate. We miss her dearly! 

Mindi’s and Alan’s place comes highly recommended and is a wonderful sit!

Winifred & Neil
This house sit was GREAT!  
Winifred and Neil (our new friends) could not have been more welcoming and friendly.  The house was beautiful, in a great location to explore areas of England we had never had time to see before.
Monte was fun to look after and was increasingly demanding of our attentions.
If you are lucky enough to get a sit here you will love it!
