A fantastic family to look after your pets and home. We were initially a little nervous about our first experience using this sitting service but soon after we were introduced to Barry and Doreen my worries subsided. We were unsure about having families with young children as sitters because Alfie, our dog is full of energy and on first meeting can get very excited which involves a lot of tail wagging and some jumping up which we are trying to train out. Barry and Doreen were keen to be our sitters so we had a FaceTime call which enabled us to meet them and them meet our pets, I explained my concerns about children and the family were very happy to still sit for us and I'm so glad they were! On arrival we had a couple of hours overlap before we left to introduce the pets and we could see instantly that they were a family of animal lovers. The children were keen to learn how to care for our pets and both Barry and Doreen were great with our elderly cat that requires medication and instantly bonded with Alfie our dog. The communication from Barry and Doreen was great leading up to the sit regarding us all booking our travel arrangements. While we were away they sent us regular updates about how the pets were doing which was lovely to hear and reassuring that all was well. On arriving home the house was beautifully clean and some lovely touches were a returning gift of some chocolates and a posy of locally picked flowers. We were also very grateful that our garden had been kept alive as it had been quite warm at times while we were on holiday. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Barry and his family. They are perfect house sitting guests and we are very grateful that they selected our pets and home to look after. Highly recommended.

It was clear from the first moment I met Grace off the train that she was going to be a great housesitter. She and the dogs just loved each other and she gave them wonderful long and stimulating walks plus lots of attention and cuddles when back at home relaxing. Her approach is very professional as pet/housesitting is what she does. I especially liked the way she double checked important things to know (that she had already read in the Welcome Guide) just to be certain that she would get it right. As I do with all my sitters, we spent some time together before and after the sit and that was lovely..she is a woman who is thoughtful, very genuine and full of integrity as well as being great fun to be with. She is a person who truly cares about animals, humans and the world. I recommend her most highly and hope we may meet again

Jess and Clay were and absolute joy to have as our house and dog sitters whilst we were on holiday. We were lucky enough to spend a few days with them before we left so we could get to know them a little better and they could understand the way things worked and the routine for our dog, Frankie. 
Whilst they are very different people to us, it was great to have someone entirely trustworthy and committed to look after things whilst we were away. I think Frankie was pretty spoilt while we weren't there but, I guess that's no bad thing. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jess and Clay and we are, in fact, hoping to use them again when we're away in October.
