Susan
We thoroughly enjoyed our house, Necha and Lily sit.

Necha and Lily are lovely dogs, very friendly and cuddly, in fact Necha jumped on to my lap Whilst we were watching TV, she’s not a particularly small dog!  But I have a large enough lap!!!!!

House, garden and facilities were perfect, easy walk to village Spar, amazing walks on Hankley and Thursday Common, very friendly village.  Very peaceful setting.

Sue and Martyn are lovely people and due to the fact we live quite close by but have never met, they Very kindly invited us round to have a drink with them so that we could get acquainted.  

Definitely recommend this house/dog sit.

What a lovely home and Cleo is just THE BEST. Super friendly and easy. I actually teared up when I left. The place is a 5 min walk from the tram and you’re 20 min from amazing restaurants.

Evie
Evie was very gracious and showed us around the island. She walked us through Suza’s and Calypso’s routine. She had clear instructions + tips for taking care of the house and getting around the island

Suza was so sweet and calypso was very funny! We will miss them!

Best 5-star house and pet sit! This was my first THS sit and had the best experience! Feel so safe at all times with Bob around. Both Bob and Chop are so adorable and loving! I miss them lots already.  This is like a 5-star resort with own casita, and  usage of swimming pool and sauna. Thanks to Sara and George for being so easy going, understanding and considerate too!  Much appreciated.  Highly recommended for this housesit and petsit!

Adrian
Adrian and his kids were very welcoming and hospitable. Couldn't ask for a better host. The house is lovely and spacious with everything you could possibly need. This area of Glasgow is also ideal with loads of bars, cafes, restaurants and shops right on your doorstep, as well as a huge park. The city centre is only a short bus ride away. Tootsie couldn't have been easier to look after. She is very independent and spent most of her time outside, but was very sweet, affectionate and easy-going when she was around.

Kaylie
Kaylie was communicative and cooperative! There home is walkable to most of the places and in a wonderful neighborhood! Willow is the sweetest cat, so calm and loving. Bugs took some time to warm up to us as she is shy but very sweet and has the cutest meow :) we loved this sit and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place with the best cats.
