We almost hesitate to say this in case Pippa gets too busy to housesit for us in the future, but she was absolutely brilliant for three long winter months. It is hard to imagine anyone kinder, tidier, more responsible, more usefully knowledgeable about old buildings and bouncy dogs, more considerate, positive and calm - and all in one person. Pippa and her two little dogs clicked with our great big pointer Molly straight away, and however pleased she was to see us again Molly clearly missed them a little after we came home. We all enjoyed meeting up for a walk a few days later. Our rambling old house with its many eccentricities was immaculate when we came home and had been like that all the time we were away (I've heard). Pippa thoughtfully sent us regular photos of Molly running about on the beach with her dogs; she passed on information if an issue cropped up; she let us know straight away if an important-looking envelope arrived, and she was sensible about energy consumption. Molly had more walks and attention every day than she ever gets in a normal 24 hours from us. None of that spoiled her, though. Our dog's training has not altered, she is as happy and well behaved as ever - maybe even more so - and we would have Pippa back in our home looking after Molly and everything else in a heartbeat. It's been a real pleasure, and a great source of security and comfort while we were a long way from home. We can't recommend Pippa too highly.

Felicity
We sat at Felicity’s delightful home in Wells-next-the-Sea for most of the past 12 months (there were mutually agreed short breaks).

Communication with Felicity was easy and responses speedy. She is very organised and has a good network of tradespeople if needed. 

The doggies, Fig, Noodle and Bean were lovable and loving. Fig died in May as a result of old age - made easier by Felicity’s involvement. Whilst we missed Fig - Bean & Noodle provided good company throughout our stay. Both dogs have lots of great energy and need two good walks a day - which is great for our fitness.

Throughout the year we were able to enjoy local coastal walks with the dogs - in places like the amazing Holkham Beach and the lovely forest behind it. There are plenty of other walking choices. Because of the dogs training - it was easy to walk them off leash. 

Felicity’s home is fabulously located in Wells with all the amenities like the eateries, shops, post office, library and medical centre being just a short walk away. Having a  gardener and cleaner made things easier for our stay.

We couldn’t recommend this sit more highly to future applicants. We miss Wells, the home and especially Noodle & Bean.

Lysa
Lysa and mike were a pleasure to work with! I absolutely love their beautiful home and all of their animals :) ❤️😻✨ it was truly a little slice of paradise and so relaxing to be there. I felt like I was at my own private animal sanctuary! I am an animal lover so being surrounded by 11 animals was truly a dream come true for me. The house was very clean and organized and came equipped with everything I needed to make sure all the animals and I were happy. Their Christmas decorations were also the best I’ve ever seen! The home is a work of art, it’s like walking around a museum. And waking up being surrounded by both puppies and almost all the kitties cuddled up next to me felt like I was still dreaming. On top of all that, mike and lysa are excellent communicators and kept in touch in case I had any questions. I made sure to text them lots of updates and pictures as well! I feel so blessed to have had this opportunity and am grateful to have more opportunities to take the best care of this beautiful home and fur family again!

Ray
The sit for Ray and Michelle was fabulous. I arrived a day early, at their request. They prepared a delicious dinner and we sat around and talked for a couple of hours.
Their home was very clean and tidy..They have a huge outdoor space with the BEST outdoor shower.
Gracie, their lab/golden Retriever mix, was the smartest sweetest dog I've seen in a long time. She was very easy to care for and loved riding in the side by side. Leaving her was sad.
Not only do I have new friends in Ray and Michelle but they are welcome to stay in our home anytime.
A+ sit! ♥️

Pam
We had so much fun at Pam & Doug's. We were lucky enough to sit when Pam had 5 adorable foster cats/kittens and they were definitely a bright spot of our stay. Pam's foster cat room is any cats dream come true! Squeaky and Fritz are hilarious and have their own distinctive personalities. The house is amazing--we loved cooking meals in the kitchen, hanging out with the cats on the patio, and even though it was too cold to swim, we enjoyed dipping our feet in the pool. If you get the opportunity, don't miss a chance to sit for Pam!

Jessica
This sit was a dream! Jessica is super easy to communicate with and was so fast at responding to texts. It was great that we were able to meet before she left to get a quick tour and take Stella out together!

Stella is just the sweetest girl! She is a snuggly, loving, perfect little friend. She bounces between sleeping in her crate and hanging out with you.  She was really, really easy to build a relationship with in the time I was there. I was glad she was comfortable with me and wanted to hang out, play, and cuddle.

The apartment is so lovely.  It is bright, sunny, clean, and centrally located to pretty much everything I wanted to do while in New York.

Thanks y'all for trusting me with Stella!
