Pat
Looking after Marlee was really a pleassure. She is a very well behaved doggie and she loves human company. Also she is easy to take out for a walk and she is toilet trained. 
Pat's flat is modern and with a fantastic location, near train station and parks. 
Thank you again :)

A beautiful house in a lovely town. You couldn't ask for better hosts then Karen and Kevin.  Friendly, genuine people who I am sure we would be friends with if we lived there.  As far as the dogs, snuggly, well behaved dogs who made a lab lover out of me.  Enjoyed them immensely.  Great paths to walk them right from the house, helpful neighbors and a great pub a 5 min walk away.  You would be lucky to sit here...

Jessica was a great host ! 

She shared clear and detailed instructions regarding the plants and prepared everything that was required for the sit. The communication was clear, efficient and easy. 

Leo was an adorable and gentle cat. It was a real pleasure to take care of Leo. 

The location is not far from the southern line which is helpful to reach London. 

We definetly recommend this pet sitting !

My partner and I had a lovely time looking after Maya and Leo. House was in a great location! Beautiful common nearby to go on doggy walks. Maya was very placid and enjoyed couch time and walk time with us both. Very easy sit and communication was excellent :)

Joanne
What a lovely family!
Joanne was extremely easy to communicate with and very “easy going”. Their home is situated in a nice scenic part of the world and was very comfortable.Bonnie was an absolute delight to look after, low maintenance and a lot of fun who just wanted to play “ball” in the garden.I can honestly say it was one of our favourite ever sits and will really miss little Bonnie.

Libby and Krissie had a really nice video chat before the sit, so we knew this was going to be a good fit for us from the get-go.
When we arrived on the day we were pleasantly surprised with a wonderful welcome pack, including a loaf of freshly baked home-made bread, along with other thoughtful pantry essentials (I heard it included a bar of very delicious chocolate, although I wouldn’t know, as I didn’t get a look in).
We then went for a walk with James and Honey. What an interesting person he is! I could have spoken to him for hours, but alas time did not allow.
Krissie & James's house is immaculate, beautifully decorated, spacious and very comfortable. The kitchen is a pleasure to cook in and there are plenty of places with a good amount of natural light in which to work, if you're remote types like us.
There’s an excellent coffee house just down the road (which also serves superb cake), a nature reserve and a well-known wildlife hospital with visitor centre nearby. Shops are within walking distance. The neighbours we met were nice, pleasant, approachable people that took the time to introduce themselves.
Honey is a lovely dog. She’s a delight to walk, has excellent recall and likes a snuggle in the evening. Honestly, we couldn’t fault her, and we miss her dearly.
In summary, this is a lovely sit to have. The homeowners are so utterly polite, hard-working, pleasant, interesting, welcoming people. They take the time to ensure your sit is as comfortable as possible and their communication is first class.
But be warned, you’ll have considerable difficulty saying goodbye to that dog of theirs, she’s such a lovely animal!
Thank you, Krissie and James for choosing us. We had a wonderful time and have been left with some great memories, and that is why we do this. Hope to see you again soon.
