We loved staying and Sarah and Craig’s home! All the dogs were so sweet and well-behaved. The owners were very communicative and accommodating. Evergreen was also such a cute place to explore. Highly recommend!
The most wonderful stay looking after Mango Tango for Terry 🫶🏻 Terry is having a wonderful extension and garden being fitted and it really adds to her already beautiful home! Little Mango was a brilliant companion for me whilst I worked from home! After a few days he really warmed to the idea of having me around and by the end he was my little shadow! Having regular photos from Terry’s amazing trip was also a brilliant highlight! Thank you so much for allowing me to stay 😇🫶🏻
I really enjoyed my time at Liz and Liz’s condo. Frank and Fred were so sweet and it gave me an opportunity to experience downtown living in Calgary. I enjoyed meeting and getting to know Liz and Liz as well as their precious boys. I felt welcomed during my stay and I look forward to going back!
I recommend sitting for Peanut and her lovely mums Jade and Jess. Jade and Jess couldn't have made me feel more welcome for my sit over the Xmas holiday: they bought me some treats, left me a lovely card and the communication prior and throughout the sit was perfect. Their flat is cosy and well located for either visiting central London, exploring the lovely Georgian village of Dulwich, 15 minutes walk from their place or shopping or dining on Lordship Lane, the highstreet 10 minutes away. Peanut is a pretty independent cat who really just wants some company in the house.
One of THE GREATEST sits ever!! Anthony is amazing and Finn & Kylo are the most well behaved cats I've come across. Both have different but super loveable personalities and they are the best to play with! Anthony is an amazing host. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Across the board
We had a lovely time caring for adorable Lucy and sweet Cleo. Steve and Malcolm were very friendly and welcoming and gave us great detail and all the necessary information for this Sit and care of the pets and their home. Lucy is such a big softie who loves her cuddles. We enjoyed walking her on the beach which is just a 5 minute walk away. She loves a play in the garden with her tug toy, if she gets a little boisterous a firm no or ignoring her and she knows to settle down. Mostly her love is cuddles and snoozing and she'll often have a little play with her piggy. She's a great passenger and loves to go in the car. Lucy is very good on the lead, she is friendly to anyone that wants to pat her and great with other dogs, actually often more frightened of the little pups we met than they were of her and they soon realised they had no reason to be frightened of her, it is just her size. Lucy was always friendly with them. Pretty Cleo is a sweetie. She needs a half tablet am and pm and she is very used to this and sits on the bed while we gave it to her, of course she was a little weary of us strangers at first but after lots of cuddles and attention to her she began to easily let us open her mouth to pop it in. In fact she really came out of her shell during our Sit, often sitting on the landing and stairs and clearly loved the attention we gave her and liked to be picked up and have a short cuddle. The home is very comfortable and the garden is lovely, we wished there had been more sunny days during our Sit to enjoy the garden, such a lovely place. The home is in a great location a very short walk to the long sandy beach. We highly recommend this Sit. Thank you Malcolm and Steve.
