I'm writing this with tears in my eyes over the genuine kindness Bridget has for our family. Keep in mind, we have actually never mat. We have always left the key under the mat for her when she sits. She sat for us June 2-4. About an hour before she was due to arrive, we had to rush our 20 year old cat Macey to the ER. We had no idea what the weekend was going to look like and were terrified about our cat's medical status. Sadly, we had to put down Macey that night and Bridget told us to keep her on stand by for anything we needed pet sitter-wise. You all know how much you love your fur babies. Macey was our first pet when we graduated from college, so losing her that night was DEVESTATING. I still can't stop crying. When we came home from the ER we could not bear to look at her water dish, pet stairs, etc. It was all too much. We decided had to leave STAT for our weekend plans and Bridget agreed to still come sit for us even though we left 6 hours later than originally planned. That kind of empathy, love, and understanding is hard to come by. She loved on our greyhound, bearded dragon and axolotl as we processed Macey's death in Lake Chelan. Bridget sent us updates on how our dog Max was doing both days. We came home to fresh baked cookies, treats, a beautiful handwritten card and a rose bush to plant in Macey's name. The sheets and towels were washed and the house was immaculate. Of course it sent me into a spiral of tears over the humanity and love Bridget displayed towards our family. I believe in angels, and I will tell you, Bridget is one. She is our favorite sitter and we feel so incredibly lucky to have her in our home. She will always be our first choice.

Donna
Donna and Peter are a delightful couple and made us feel most welcome in their home.   Alfie their little dog is just beautiful and so affectionate.  The village is in a lovely part of Kent.  We would love to sit for Donna and Peter next time we visit the UK.

Rathika
We had such a lovely time looking after gorgeous Lunar for Rathika and Dave. We were fortunate to meet them both a couple of times before our sit in order to get familiar with Lunar, which was so helpful to our experience overall. Lunar is just the most gorgeous pup, she was so loving and we were never without cuddles! We love her big personality, she definitely provided a lot of laughter during our sit! We arrived to a beautiful tidy, well-kept home in a lovely, quiet suburb. We are so grateful that this was our first UK house-sit and we would love the opportunity to sit for them again in future! X

Danna
Pet sitting for Danna over the holidays was a treat. They were welcoming, organized and generous. They live in a lovely home in a gorgeous area and have 2 amazing dogs; eager, well behaved, gentle and quiet. Walks were varied with lots of choices and Squamish is a short drive for groceries. There’s lots to do in the area for the outdoor enthusiast.
