Stacey and Sarah looked after our dogs very well and the dogs appeared to be happy. It was a big thing for our 8 month old puppy, as he had never been left for this length of time before and to be left with 2 strangers must have been difficult for him, however, Stacey and Sarah ensured both the puppy and the Jack Russell were well cared for. They loved having so much attention for the 2 weeks, which was noticeable in the pictures that were sent to us. There were only a couple of things which we feel could have been dealt with better, and that was, receiving a text 3 days prior to departure to say they had to leave extremely early on the departure morning, so we had to arrange for somebody to come and toilet the dogs before we arrived back home. We asked for the dogs to be walked before departure also, which they said they had, however this was untrue. The units and walls etc downstairs were very dirty with wet dog muck/dirt and dog hair. It was a wet 2 weeks, however, a wipe down of these surfaces wouldn’t have gone a miss. The 2 rooms upstairs which they were only to have access to (other than where the fish was) was clean and tidy. The main thing is the dogs (and the fish) were safe and well cared for, which they absolutely were.
Kelly is a dream sitter! From our first call through every day of the sit she asked the right questions, kept me informed and made me feel completely at ease about Hecate’s care. She was flexible when I had to change dates and asked questions every time Hecate showed a different behavior to ensure she wasn’t stressed about the time I was away. I can’t recommend Kelly highly enough. I will absolutely ask her back to pet sit again! She is welcome any time!
