Andrea was a great sitter, my cats seemed to warm to her immediately and she kept me updated with lots of pictures. My flat was beautifully clean and tidy when I came home and I felt at ease with her looking after my home while I was away. I would definitely invite Andrea to stay at my home in the future :)

I wish I could offer more stars for Judy and Bob.  From he moment they arrived, they became a member of the family.  They immediately connected with our pup Blanca (normally a very anxious dog).  They also connected with us.  We enjoyed their company and felt at ease leaving them with our home and Blanca.  We were updated daily and they even assisted with plants and household duties beyond our expectations.  On our return we found the house  clean, neat and Blanca seemed very much at ease.  In fact today, she is wandering around the house looking or them!  I would not hesitate recommending them.  In fact, we have invited them back for two more visits.

Taylor did such a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Korra, and housesitting for us! She is a very sweet person, and Korra absolutely loved her. Taylor also left our house very clean. We highly recommend her, and hope to have her back!

Adorable pets! Adorable wild life residents! All living in a historical, listed, and charming cottage that dates back to the 1600s. Everything you can possibly need is at hand and across the street. Lovely place for enjoying nice walks around the village and by the sea. 

But the most important, the pets, are what I enjoyed the most. I love rabbits and cats. I love free birds and wildlife, and nature, and gardens. For me, this sit was paradise.  

The rabbits Wuglet and Bumble are adorable and friendly, each with their distinctive personalities and character. They followed me to bed and spent the night with me in the room, in their favourite place by the door or close to the desk. 

Don't pick them up. Rabbits don't like it and feel very unsafe and stressed when they are off the ground. Rabbits are delicate creatures and need attention, love and supervision. They like some petting, especially on their head, but only if they stay on the ground. You can sit on the floor and let them go around you and come to play with you if they are in the mood or you have some treats for them. Wuglet and Bumble love to eat from the garden all what they can take. They know what they like and it's good for their teeth. They also need their fresh hay everyday to keep their delicate digestive system and teeth healthy. This is very important for rabbits. Rabbits drink a lot of water and need their water to be fresh and clean and available at all times. 

Thomas the cat is a delightful, friendly, and super chill cat. Unlike many other cats, Thomas loves some petting, especially when he comes to tell you it's time to feed him, which is every time he wants since he eats just a little at a time. 
He is an adorable cat and a great communicator if you know how to listen to his vocalisations. Thomas loves to get attention as well and loves it when you talk to him. 

Rabbits don't vocalise. But if you learn some basic rabbit behaviour (you can Google that) you can easily understand everything they do and when they are asking you for something. 

The garden is gorgeous and is full of life. The Resident Robin is absolutely friendly and funny. She will come to eat and drink from her spacial place in the garden. She was also coming and flying in front of my face, asking for her food. So tiny and adorable! 

Genevive the Magpie is very young and friendly. I interacted with Genevive just a little because someone else was looking after her elsewhere during my sit. She is a free bird used to being free in the house. Zoe rescued her when she fell from the nest when she was a baby. 

Then there is the limping seagull who was also a rescue, and comes to eat when you come out with her food. I love seagulls as well. 

It was so gratifying to see how nice all these creatures are, all the house pets and the resident wildlife in the garden, how trustful and friendly they are. I enjoyed my interaction with all of them so much. 

Last but not least, Zoe is super friendly, the communication was always great. Meeting Zoe was a great experience for me. And looking after her pets and rescues was something I truly enjoyed and made me happy. It actually warmed up my heart. 

Thank you to Zoe, Wuglet, Bumble, Thomas, Resident Robin, Limping Seagull, and Genevive for a great time sharing your lovely garden and your loving company. :)
