We had a lovely time cat-sitting Tilly for James and Kate! They are very clear about what is required, and Tilly herself is absolutely gorgeous. The location is also great with shops, restaurants, bus stops & tram stops all within walking distance. Would definitely recommend them, and would love to sit again in the future!
Chauncey is an incredibly sweet, playful, and amusing pup! Drew and Kamala were very welcoming and thorough in properly introducing me to Chauncey and making sure I knew his routine. Though energetic, he’s very well behaved and easy to warm up to.
This was a fantastic housesit and if I could give Vivienne and Molly the dog 10 stars I would. Vivienne is an exceptionally warm and friendly person who went out of her way to ensure our comfort, even going the extra mile to buy new mattresses for the beds. She communicated frequently before the sit to make sure we had everything we needed and give both of us opportunities to ask any questions. We felt very at home from the moment we arrived. Wilf her friend was so helpful in picking us up and dropping off at the local bus station which was very welcome. Her little rescue dog Molly is just fabulous. So many rescues have behavioural issues but Molly wasn’t one of them. She settled in immediately and went everywhere with us and frequently dosed on my lap when at home making herself into an excellent book rest! She is an absolute dote. She behaved so well that when we went for a meal you wouldn’t even have known she was there. Impeccable table manners! I also had great fun walking around town with her as strangers would come up and ask “is that Molly”. She a bit of a local celebrity I think. Vivienne’s flat is lovely and comfortable and also well equipped for anything you’d need. It is also very well placed . You are only a stones throw from the beach. Many restaurants and bars are just around the corner, but the bedroom was also nice and quiet. There are lovely walks along the seafront just outside the door. All in all we couldn’t have asked for more . We highly recommend this housesit and already hoping to return if Vivienne and Molly need us.
Friendly and very helpful owner. Nene was perfect. He is a chatty thing and is great company.
We had a very nice stay at Laura & Alan's very large home the dogs Ziggy & Dexter were very easy to care for great walks right from the large garden. Laura & Alan were very welcoming and we would highly recommend this sit
We had a wonderful time with Ronnie and Reggie, they're both adorable, very loving. Reggie loves being by your side and always wants to please you, Ronnie is more of a free spirit. They are early risers. Nikki and Simon are very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Their home is stunning, very comfortable/luxurious, with state of the art home appliances (two dishwashers, you can use the super comfy electric sofas to charge your phone), with fireplaces even on the rooftop and in the garden, with fantastic sea views and beautiful walks from its doorstep (Hope's nose, Thatcher Rock Green, Bishop's walk...). Walls Hill in Babaccombe where many people walk their dogs is only a few minute drive away. There are many beautiful beaches in the area. We highly recommend this sit, thank you so much !
