Bob and Kathy helped us with a 5 day sit for our dog, Skye. The whole experience was amazing! Their attention to detail was quite impressive. They asked very good clarifying questions and took our “Welcome Guide” information very seriously. Their communication through out the whole process was valuable. They kept us updated on their travel timelines, so we could very accurately plan our departure and arrival back home. They provided daily communication with pictures of Skye and all of their adventures. We really enjoyed these updates! Their communication was warm and personal and we really enjoyed getting to know them better! Our house was cleaner then when we left it! The sheets and towels had been laundered and our plants were beautifully taken care of. When we got home, Skye was calm and happy! She was very well taken care of! Bob and Kathy did so many thoughtful things…filled my hummingbird feeder, fixed a poster that was falling down in my garage (had been on my to do list for a month!), replaced a post it note pad they used, washed the dog towels…just to name a few! However, the most thoughtful thing was a beautifully hand made card that Kathy drew and painted where she left a fun “report card” for Skye. We will keep it forever! It is without hesitation that we recommend Kathy and Bob for your next sit! We will be begging them to come back!!

We very much enjoyed our time looking after Freddie, Flo, the chickens & goats - Tony & Jo were both lovely, communicated quickly and gave us a very warm welcome on arrival, we highly recommend them and their home for a house sit.
Freddie & Flo both have lovely personalities and are full of character and energy ~ Flo will enjoy a cuddle and sit on your lap, while Freddie bounds around!
We really enjoyed our starts to the day tending to the animals and coming out to the goats chilling in the sunshine, to the backdrop of Tom Jones blaring out from the radio (to deter foxes!)
The goats are wonderful, we found them very relaxing to be around and not too much trouble to care for, they love their cracker treats and provide lots of entertainment!
We weren't short of delicious eggs, as the chickens supply around 6 every day.
We recommend a nice walk around the village loop (down Mickley Lane round to the main round) and stopping for a drink at The Greyhound. Various takeaways, supermarkets & train station all within a 10 minute drive.
Thank you for being friendly & generous hosts ~ all the best :)

We had a blast hanging out in Bozeman! Choche and Pancho were a wonderful duo and had great personalities. With funny quirks and the love of cuddles, these guys were easy and fun to take care of. The home and location were great! With beautiful areas to walk just blocks away and an adorable down town this is a perfect sit for seeing the city. Elise and Matt were wonderful hosts and very kind! Awesome sit and would highly recommend!

We had wonderful time looking after Clemmie, Peanut and Bagpipes. 

The dogs were wonderful, both had their own lovely personality’s but good as gold. On walks they are happy off the lead, very good with other dogs and have good recall when you feel they may be wondering to far but we had no issues. 

Bagpipes was very good fun and we enjoyed feeding and interacting with him. He was very easy to care for. 

I can’t speak highly enough of the friendly welcome we received, we came down the night before and had dinner with Andrew and Charlotte. They recommended some local walks, gave us a tour of the house and we had excellent communication with them throughout. 

The house it’s self was lovely and the garden huge! Dogs had so much space to have fun when not out on a walk. The local area has so many places to choose from, it’s a stunning country area. 

Overall I would definitely recommend this sit to anyone! We hope to return one day.

This was a great weekend away,jonothon was really kind and the house was amazing. The area was proper idyllic english countryside with pubs and farmshops aroubd too. I'd highly recommend this sit for people who really love dogs and enjoy them being part of things. Tinks is a 
Lively young spaniel, full of enthusiasm but very well behaved. I've never known a happier dog, when she's outside. The excitement is almost annoying but also quite motivating. She can continue being crazy excited to go out and play once back in the house but if you invite her to sit with you or pick her up away from the door she soon relaxes. She is a lovely dog with a lot of energy and makes a great companion.

Sitting for Noah and Liv's kitties was such a pleasure! They each have their own personalities and are all so cute but be careful because Nero is going to steal your heart! I felt so happy and welcomed in their home and would be happy to sit for them anytime!
