I couldn't have had a more lovely experience house/pet sitting for Gary, Becky. Their sweet pup Spritz and I because best buds and had a perfect routine down, full of leisurely walks, visits to parks, some big hikes, paying ball and many treats, which I was happy to document on an Instagram account for Spritz to keep them in the loop! It was so inspiring to have a couple FaceTime checkins with Gary and Becky as they were off on their adventures and we had very clear communication about the house and caring for Spritz. The home is extremely well set up/high tech and Gary make sure I was well versed in all of the gadgets and functions, while also having full knowledge on making sure Spritz was cared for and comfortable. I'm very grateful for this experience and for these amazing new friends!
We had a great time looking after Ozzie and Alfie. They are beautiful and friendly dogs and loved going for walks to the park where they would happily chase tennis balls for hours. The house is great and super close to shops or the train station if needed. Would definitely recommend if you enjoy energetic and loving dogs
This was a really enjoyable sit. It offered the opportunity to spend time with three wonderful dogs, to meet Gloria and Stephan - who are genuinely warm, friendly and very welcoming - and to see a large part of Puglia. The house is very comfortable and spacious, with everything that you are likely to need during your stay. It is located just outside the beautiful old city of Ostuni in an area of small farms and olive groves; taking the dogs for their walks in the local countryside was a true pleasure. The sit provided a good opportunity to see this fascinating region of Italy at leisure and over all was a wonderful experience.
We had an amazing time sitting for Abbie! Ozzie, HeiDi, Dill and Scout opened up to us faster then we expected which was great. After the first night all of them came to get cuddles from us. HeiDi takes his meds in the food very well and all of them love to eat in general, so careful with leaving stuff in their reach. They all get very excited for walks and are very well behaved. Ozzie enjoyed playing with us and followed us everywhere. Abbies home is in a perfect location, close to restaurants, attractions, stores but also surrounded by nature. The traditional house made our experience even better as we would have never been able to live like that without it. Because there were a lot of people watching those cuties, there are lots of things in/around the house which we didnt mind though. Also as nobody, except for the pets, was living there times before we arrived, the home had some dust around but that was fully acceptable given the circumstances. We loved driving around and exploring the neighbourhood by scooter. Abbie gave us lots of information about things to do and places to go. Her very nice friend welcomed us to the home, introduced us to the pets and even had a welcome present for us! During and also before our stay, we had great communication and Abbie would always be available for any questions. We were sad to leave after a short time and would have absolutely stayed longer if we didnt have other responsibilities planned already! I hope, we will make our way back there again another time.
Arianna was a great host & her pets are so sweet! A quick stay & I would absolutely return if asked! Thx for having me! She accommodated me with a parking spot, lovely clean home & the pets were easy to care for. They bark initially but after that its cool sailing! Thx again Arianna!
This was such a wonderful sit! Tony stole my heart! He was a bit elusive at first but slowly warmed up over my stay. He always loved a cuddle and to play with his toys whenever he visited. He was so adorable! Claire and her family were very friendly and made me feel welcomed immediately. Their home was very comfortable and bright. It was extremely well located - walking distance from downtown and all the large beautiful parks. They have a peaceful garden that was great to relax in daily. My favourite sit to date - I highly recommend. Thanks again Claire!
