One word sums up Christine and Neil - fabulous! We left them in charge of our home , 3 year old miniature poodle and twelve year old cat for 3 weeks and couldn't have wished for a happier experience. Owing to last minute family arrangements Neil came on his own for the first few days so we only had a chance to meet him as they had had to leave a few hours before we arrived back. Calm,highly organised, Neil had made a friend with Hudson before we left the following morning and according to Christine, he was Neil's shadow throughout their stay! All our communication by phone, email and Skype had been really easy and we'd felt in advance that they were just the right people, and this definitely proved to be the case. The house was immaculate, animals very happy ( so much so that when we arrived home Hudson , although very pleased to see us , was obviously looking to see if Neil was close behind !). Christine had been able to control Hudson's barking at the cat which we'd had little success with and for which we're very grateful. The icing on the cake was arriving home to a meal in the fridge and the most delicious apple strudel. If you're lucky enough to have Christine and Neil as sitters please request that she make one for you! We can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you Neil and Christine for ensuring that we had a worry free holiday.

This was the second time Jennifer cat sat for me. Again, she was reliable and conscientious. I also appreciate how independent and creative she was. There was an issue with the ceiling fan in the front bedroom and temperatures were in the 100sF. Since the fan wouldn't work, she just went into the second bedroom, took care of herself and didn't let me worry. I appreciate that a lot.

Rana was a great sitter, reliable and self sufficient! She had great communication and kept the house super clean. Vera is also an incredibly sweet and lovely little dog ❤️
Both are welcome back any time and highly recommend!

Milton was awesome! He was easy to communicate with. He took our dog out for exercise regularly, and provided helpful feedback during and after his stay. He even washed his bedding when he left which I appreciated so much!

Hi other THSitters. The home, location and communication aspects of this sit were all fabulous. There’s an array of things to do and see from Kew Gardens (with the owners pass at no cost). I love Ubu, and had cuddles when leaving to tell him so. By that time, after several days, we were firm friends. I hope that I’m not being unkind to him in saying that he is challenging, not out of naughtiness or bad heartedness, possibly out of a lack of the first, and an oversupply of the latter. Ubu is extremely anxious. Walking is determined by the direction he dictates, and will perchance involve entering a local pub, with difficulty in then getting him to leave. Ubu barks when anxious and can appear aggressive to people and dogs randomly. The smallest thing, a leaf moving in the wind, can make Ubu flinch. He is a loving soul, much loved clearly, but this is a sit suited to an experienced sitter who will put Ubu first in all things whilst with him. Thanks for the sit with Ubu x
