We finished our section at Tushar's home where we met Leah ; ) Leah is a beautiful dog that you will want to hug and pamper when you arrive, she is very affectionate and she will accompany you every moment. She is the ideal co-worker. She loves her walks, combing her, the chick and enjoying games at home and outdoors. Tushar and his wife are the love of people, with whom you can talk and above all admire for the work they do for society. Tushar's house is perfectly located right next to the B bus stop that takes you to Cambridge in just over an hour with some beautiful scenery. It has the supermarket (ALDI) about 5 minutes walk, the train station in 10 minutes and the city center in 5 minutes. Additionally, you have an extensive network of walkways to enjoy with Leah. She has it all. We certainly hope to return one day and enjoy beautiful Leah's company and conversations with Tushar and his wife again.
Mike and Marilyn are the most generous, thoughtful and welcoming hosts. Their home is very comfortable and convenient for public transport links to Brisbane. Chester is an absolutely charming and hairy star - "cute as", enthusiastic, personality ++ and easy to look after! We can thoroughly recommend the experience!
Where do we start?! Teddy & Flossie are simply the best dogs you could ever wish to sit for. Fun, loving, adorable, cheeky, funny and providers of the best cuddles, it is with sadness that we aren’t able to sit again due to work. Sharon and Jay are simply two of the best people this planet has to offer. Over time, they’ve become more than friends, more like family. It has been wonderful to be allowed to share their beautiful home and their dogs and whoever should sit in future needs to know how lucky you will be. We are very sad to not be able to make the next sit but we simply don’t have the vocabulary to say how much we love them all.
Words cannot begin to convey how wonderful this sit was. Gary (kitty) is a beautiful lethario of a big grey tom cat with enough personality to keep you entertained for weeks; he’s also the biggest cuddler if you enjoy a furry companion bed mate. Marcel (bearded dragon) is one of the most unassuming yet loving lizards I’ve encountered — I was a bit wary or bonding with a reptile, but Marcel made it impossible not to grow attached. Luke’s home itself is spacious and homey, with books lining most walls. The writers cabin outdoors features a beautiful sprawling 100+ year old tree with one trunk extended out through the rooftop. The entire home and experience was nothing short of a dream. Thank you for trusting me with your home Luke, and sweet family!
Our stay in Lauren’s house was great! Scout is a lovely and intelligent girl, she is very expressive so it was easy to understand what she wants or need🥰 The house was very comfortable, located in a beautiful neighbourhood and we find it very clean. Lauren provide us all the information we need. Thanks for this wonderful experience!
It was a wonderful time with Aggi. She is so adorable, playful and lively. She loves playing with her toys or finding out where I hid her biscuits. She is incredibly well-behaved on the walks, I was able to let her off the leash and we had a lot of fun in the nearby parks. Debbi and Nigel picked me up from the train station and dropped me off again when I left. It was a very nice first evening when Debbi cooked wonderfully for me. The house is fantastic! Big, Clean and so cozy. I was lucky with the weather and was able to use the beautiful garden. I really enjoyed the time and can highly recommend this sit!
