Hannah
Hannah and Damien were gracious hosts and provided a very thorough orientation in writing as well as face-to-face. Their pets are all sweethearts, their home is lovely and I enjoyed walking their charming neighborhood with the dogs every day. This was a thoroughly delightful sit!

Jane
We have twice looked after Smudge and Jasper ( 2016 and 2017) in Jane and Debs lovely, modern home, and have just loved it.  Both cats are beautiful and even though Smudge needs her inhaler every couple of days, she sits quietly and obediently whilst she breathes in and out.  Jazzy has his favourite spots to sunbathe when he's not talking to you and they are both affectionate indoor/outdoor cats and so easy to look after.  The house is super comfortable, Jane and Debs are stars, the neighbours are wonderful, and there is a fantastic bus service from 3 doors down the street!

Penni
We had such a lovely time on this sit with Berti girl! Berti is such a sweetie and Penni and Tom were so lovely to us, preparing a meal for us the first night we stayed and being such gracious hosts. Penni was excellent at showing us Berti’s routine and some local walks and made sure we had everything we needed. We didn’t have a car which was fine, Penni picked us up and dropped us off at the train station which again was so nice and helped us greatly. Berti is so cuddly and lovely, she requires someone who understands dogs and can make her feel safe and secure (which doesn’t take long), she was very trusting of us and we had a lovely time with her. We loved our sit with Berti, exploring a slice of the English countryside, and would totally recommend. Thanks again Penni, Tom and Berti!

Sandra
I was lucky enough to stay with Grace over this past weekend. She was an absolute sweetheart. When I arrived she was in her room and although she initially showed her teeth and had a small growling moment, within seconds she was showing me her belly and wanting to be loved on. Grace loves to walk so we did several neighborhood walks as well as a longer trail walk. Sandy was forthcoming on Grace’s quirks. Grace loathes the FedEx truck and she likes distance from other dogs on walks, as a result of the clear communication our walks were very pleasant and enjoyable. Grace sat near me while I worked on my computer and she'd sit next to me on the couch in the evenings while watching tv.  She was an awesome companion.  
Sandy's details about Grace were spot on. Even the way she described Grace's Chewbacca noises. :) Sandy was available by text and phone and she made me feel comfortable about reaching out whenever I had a question. 
The home was clean, welcoming and quite comfortable. It's near Duke, so I spent a lovely spring afternoon in Duke Gardens exploring. 
Overall I'd highly recommend this sit, Grace, Sandy, and this home. It was an absolute pleasure.

Thank you Judith, Jerry, and Puppy Pack for having me over! I had such a relaxing time staying at your beautiful house. The neighborhood was perfect for dog walking and I felt very safe. 

Thanks for chatting and being such amazing hosts!! I absolutely enjoyed your company.

Jodie and Steve were very friendly, and great communicators. Their instructions were thorough and easy to follow. Bettis and Martie were super sweet, fun and well-behaved. The house is lovely and comfortable, and the neighborhood is really great for walks -- lots of pedestrian paths and parks and all kinds of fun places to explore.
