Meridith and Kemal were fantastic house sitters! They stayed at my apartment and cared for my two cats - one of which requires daily insulin injections. Both Meridith and Kemal educated themselves on insulin injections prior to the housesit, and Kemal even came by a day early to see the process first-hand. 

Overall, Meridith and Kemal were proactive and kind in their care with my two cats! The first few days of the housesit came with some unforeseen diarrhea and vomiting from my cats. Both Meridith and Kemal communicated with me regularly to get my cats on the mend. 

Thank you both!

I recently stayed at Maggie's and looked after Finn. Her place was very nice, comfortable, and in a pretty neighborhood. I found her dog Finn to be very affectionate and playful. He is pretty well behaved, but It's important to note that he is still training in certain respects and needs a firm hand, especially on walks, as he tends to tug/bite his leash and can be a bit assertive/stubborn. He can also be assertive with other male dogs especially if provoked.

The responsibility of managing him was more than I anticipated. However, Maggie was understanding and quickly found someone else to take over, which I appreciated.

This was a great sit with Cooper at Jonathan and Pauline’s lovely home. Their hospitality was much appreciated. They provided a great overview and superb information with everything needed for Cooper as well as the local area. Good communication before and during the trip was easy and timely. The house is equipped with everything needed and the lovely garden was another good spot for playtime with Cooper.

Cooper is a lovely young dog who enjoys his walks, his treats and his outings. He is good on lead and will go for as long as you are willing in all kinds of weather. He knows his routines and is sociable with other dogs he meets.

Would definitely recommend this sit. Thank you Pauline and Jonathan for a lovely stay with Cooper.

Sitting for Daisy Mae and Annabella was an extremely rewarding experience and we would look after them again in a heartbeat! Their unique characters were clear from the very beginning, making it easy for the four of us to settle into a comfortable routine that worked well for the duration of our stay. Although we never did coax them into the pool, the girls loved to play and were always up for new adventures. Totally comfortable in the car when driving further afield to explore the local places of interest, not even my incessant photo shoots dampened their enthusiasm and they seemed as proud to show us off, as we were them. Set within a stunning neighbourhood we enjoyed nothing more than our daily walks around the beautiful homes and gardens in the area. While trying it on with the new kids in town, Daisy Mae and Annabella had to be reminded of who was walking who at times, but they both responded very well to consistency and treats! Daisy Mae, being the older of the two had a few cute tricks up her sleeve but was still not too old in the tooth to learn a few new ones. As for Annabella, well, talk about fast learner. Both dogs really were cuddle bugs and aside from the times that Annabella went into her cage to enjoy her bone in peace - they asked for nothing more than our love and attention; playing in the garden, sitting reading, they were the perfect companions and we miss them immensely. 

Maureen was an amazing host and had thought of everything to make out stay pleasurable.  As well as enjoying a home-cooked meal by the pool on arrival, there were little touches here and there showing just how important it was that we feel at home, in her absence. Flowers, chocolates, a hand-written note, basic provisions in the fridge that we were free to use, toiletries and so much more - she had thought of it all. Maureen’s appreciation for this process as a mutually beneficial arrangement really was a cut above the rest. The welcome guide was thorough, making it easy to care for both her home, and Daisy Mae and Annabella, exactly as she wished; but, choosing her sitters carefully, Maureen’s trust in us was wholehearted. Communicative throughout, keeping in contact with her during her trip away was more of a pleasure than a commitment and we knew that communications with Maureen would continue long after our sit had expired.

Sybille
Caring for Mr Bean was a breeze. He's a little guy but loves his kale and know his feeding time. Sybille was very welcoming and very understanding. She has a beautiful home with a lot of old school touches but it makes for a beautiful stay. Would recommend and sit again if available.

Hugh and Prue
We recently enjoyed a delightful few days at the chocolate box home of Hugh and Prue; an incredibly pretty house dating back to the 15thC with an ultra-modern addition at the back. Additionally, we found it to be clean, comfortable, and well appointed. Situated in a small village, with a well-stocked local shop, or 20 minutes’ drive either to Golds, (a local organic farm with wonderful produce), or into Shaftesbury for Thursday market day, and/or the usual supermarkets. Unfortunately, we only got to meet Hugh via WhatsApp, but both Hugh and Prue were very welcoming, friendly, and great communicators.
The two dogs were a real pleasure to care for. Both good natured and well behaved. No problem with either when meeting others, and did not see any adverse reaction to other animals when we met them either.  Phoebe whilst appearing lovely in the photographs, is even more attractive in real life. She steals the show, but your heart with it. A very affectionate dog, but not demanding in any way. Chalky is a sweet soul, happy and contented and also happy to give and receive affection.
There were the additional responsibilities of watering the garden, and interacting with both the cleaner and Airbnb guests, but very minimal really, and all very nice. 
We can highly recommend this sit, and we would be very happy to sit for them again.
