I spent more than a week in Lawrie's home with the delightful Artos. Lawrie made me feel very welcome from the get go. Art and I enjoyed time in the common area out the front, and exploring together on our walks. Art is an affection, playful puppy; we had a lot of fun together. I'd be happy to sit for Lawrie & Artos again and highly recommend them to others.

Chad is such a darling. He's quite large but very cuddly and very sweet. He did run off to visit every dog we came across, and did quite a lot of chasing them and their balls, but he was really good in terms of recall and sticking by us when off lead (the sausages helped!). On lead is quite difficult because he's so big! He does pull, especially if he spots a squirrel! But he was fine to go out into the garden by himself and would bark once at the back door to be let back in. He got a bit excited for the first day and did quite a lot of humping of legs and kept trying to get into our room but settled after that.

Jen & Alan's house is comfortable but it's on a surprisingly busy road and a bit of a tricky corner to get in and out of and there's no footpath outside. We weren't entirely sure what bedroom we were supposed to be in as both spare bedrooms were quite full of stuff so we hope we got the right one! The bedrooms are at the front of the house where the road is so it can be noisy, even late at night, with headlights flashing quite frequently.

We had a great time caring for Julie & Charlie’s precious cat trio while they traveled.  Prior to the sit, we had a nice chat to go over expectations, and even received thoughtful video walkthroughs which was much appreciated.  Jack & Jenny are two peas-in-a-pod who we loved playing with… when they weren’t keeping each other entertained or snoozing in their cat tree, that is!  They have easy-to-clean litter boxes and auto feeders that their tummies know the schedule for like clockwork.  Hollycat is an absolute doll, and we enjoyed watching her fascination with the outdoors… going from window-to-window to bird and squirrel watch throughout the day.  She can be timid, but warmed up to us quickly, which made feeding time uncomplicated, as she was always ready for more window gazing soon afterwards.  Julie and Charlie are very gracious hosts, and we had a wonderful time relaxing in their spacious home.  We are elated their furbaby crew accepted us into their world, and can’t wait to sit for them again!

Great experience: terrific location, lovely dogs, and a wonderfully communicative Lauren. The apartment is comfy and she's not kidding about being right on the greenbelt for easy hiking access. Daffodil and Ranger are sweet snugglers and very laid back. They respond on the leash to the slightest nuance of direction, and Ranger takes his pills with no trouble 'tall. Low-maintenance, loving dogs and a delightful housesit. Lauren left great instructions and was accessible throughout the housesit. A+ housesit. :-)

This house sit stole our hearts. We feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to spend five weeks in Sea Pines with Max and Astro. We give this sit our highest recommendation.

Astro is the cutest, softest, smartest dog who brings joy to people wherever he goes. He made us laugh every day with his expressive face and his splashing antics at the pool and beach. He is well trained and walking him on the beautiful Sea Pines trails was a meditative, relaxing ritual. We love him!

Max is the best cat - smart, sweet, handsome, and people-oriented. He is a great communicator who will let you know when he wants brushing, a door opened, or a faucet turned on. He had us very well trained :). We loved him immediately. We miss both Max and Astro very much.

With two such wonderful pets, it's no surprise that Gigi and Chuck are wonderful people. House sits are the best when the home owners truly want the sitters to enjoy themselves, and Gigi and Chuck went out of their way to make our time in Sea Pines feel like a vacation. They are responsive, generous, organized, and deeply kind. They are also very thoughtful in their sitter selection process. We're so glad we got to know them and plan to stay in touch (and return someday!). 

If you're not already convinced to apply, our final note is that the location of this sit is beautiful in every way. Gigi and Chuck had the vision to build a gorgeous, well-designed, comfortable home. It was such a pleasure to cook in their kitchen and eat meals on the covered porch. We swam in the pool daily and enjoyed watching the light come down over the tidal marsh. We also enjoyed spotting abundant wildlife around the community - alligators (who keep their distance), dolphins, herons, and small sharks. The beach is an easy walk away, and there is much to see and do within a short bike ride.

This is a dream sit! Go apply!

I had a lovely time in Pewsey looking after Belle, she is great company and a very sweet dog. We had some fabulous walks and trips to places in the area and it was nice also to relax in the garden. There is a stream through the back of the garden, lovely to paddle in during hot weather. Hilary communicated everything well and was always responsive if I needed to message her about anything, and provided lots of info about the area. All in all a nice few days away 😀.
