If you're reading this review, it's probably because Graciela and Nicholas have applied to stay at your home. If you learn nothing else from this review, please understand that you should choose them, no questions asked. We spoke with Graciela and Nicholas about watching our home, and more importantly our senior dog, Rizzo, a few months before a weekend trip out of town. We were initially impressed by their questions and how easy it was to arrange a Zoom meeting to get to know them. Unfortunately for us, Rizzo started having seizures about two weeks before their stay and was diagnosed with a brain tumor the very week they were going to stay and watch him. The diagnosis complicated Rizzo's care and added several steps to his day, including us learning how to administer anti-seizure medication nasally. We advised Graciela and Nicholas about the new issues and offered to cancel our trip and make other arrangements given our new situation, and we were prepared to pull the plug on our trip. Rather than back out, Graciela and Nicholas went above and beyond to help out, and they've been the best experience we've had on this website. They agreed to a Zoom call before the stay for the specific purpose of learning how to administer the new anti-seizure medications. They sent us lots of updates on Rizzo, which we much appreciated. They left our home cleaner than they found it. Needless to say, we knew we were in great hands the entire time we were out of town, which we much appreciated given the recent news about our dog. We really can't thank them enough for giving us the peace of mind we needed to make our out-of-town trip. So, to sum it up: they were perfect housesitters, and we couldn't have asked for anything more. If you've read this far and are considering choosing them for your housesit, do so without hesitation. Thank you SO MUCH again, Graciela and Nicholas!

Frauke and Dom were amazing sitters to Pickles for a week! The updates they sent each day were so lovely and it was clear they had gone above and beyond for her. Pickles adored them - on their laps and snuggled up to them! 
They also watered our flowers (even potted some that arrived!), and our apartment was spotless when we got back.
I can highly recommend them to anyone, and would love if they could sit Pickles again in the future!

10/10.  Tatiana and Rafael are terrific house sitters. They took care of our two cats and our home in London for a month. They acted professionally at all times in addition to being friendly and nice people. 

As their gig prior to ours was also in London, they made themselves available to come by and meet us and the cats, and to pick up the keys. 

They did a great job providing a lower ration of food daily for our cats, per our instructions as we tend to overfeed our portly felines. Many thanks for the slimmer kitties, Tatiane and Rafael! 

We came home to a clean house and happy kitties. We had to extend their stay by one more night which they were happy to accommodate. They were just as flexible and kind as they could be.

We would absolutely have them back at any time and would heartily recommend them as house sitters.

Denise and her family were nothing but wonderful! They came to the house to meet us and the dogs and were so friendly. They took the best care of our pups and left the house better than they found it. Our communication was great and they even sent us pictures. If you have any hesitation, just approve them, they were fantastic!

What can I say? 
We had an amazing experience spending a whole month caring for  Neffy (Nefertiti) the dog and her chicken companions Florence, Hephzibah, Nance, Wilma and Pompom! 

Heather and Brett are well organised. We were booked way in advance for the dates (which is our preference) and stayed in touch via WhatsApp and we even managed to visit a couple of times prior to the sit when in the county so we got to really know one another and go out walking Neffy.

Neffy 
The sweetest soul companion ever!  Perfect mix of active and loves to play, but likewise, she's super chilled and cuddly when her needs are met. The most loyal and faithful pooch who adores to be close to you at all times, she's also well trained and behaved.
She's also very gentle with kids too and became like a sibling to our 9 & 11 year old children.

Dog walks with Neffy were the highlight of our stay. She has so many doggy friends and we quickly made some wonderful connections with the owners of her friends and walked together across the fields many times together, making some real soul connections. Something that we'll never forget! 


The Home 
A labour of love, Heather and Brett live in the most wonderful house. Quirky, classical and very large rooms with high ceilings. This town house looks deceivingly smaller from the roadside than it is inside. The most wonderful home of true artists and world travellers, their home gives a feeling of welcoming and a true insight to their wonderful lives of laughter, fun and family. We felt so energised and at home here. Also, their furniture, plants, art and belongings made their home a pleasure to spend time, and the beds are extremely comfortable!

The Area/ town of Calne 
Calne is a charming town in Wiltshire,with amazing places to explore the surrounding areas. 
If you saw this listing and researched the area, it may seem quite remarkable, even if paying a visit, walking or driving by the town you could easily miss something.
But there's something that can't be described about this place that you'll only find out when spending time here.
Walking the park and fields, we encountered so many dog walkers and people who were so open, warm and friendly, connections we made with the people in our month here will be friends for life!

Something that in all the years we've spent house sitting hasn't happened so profoundly before!

If you are reading this review, it's more than likely you are looking for words of encouragement to help you decide if you should apply. Well let me tell you, you'd be foolish not to go spend time here with the captivating Nefertiti nd explore a hidden gem of a Wiltshire town with plenty to offer in terms of accessibility, comfort and friendly people..

We are certain that we were destined to meet and become friends for life.
