Ella and Owen are wonderful! I highly recommend this lovely, caring, conscientious couple! It was such a relief to connect with them and see my cats [on WhatsApp] while I was away for 3 weeks. I also received photos and videos regularly, showing how my two timid cats gradually got used to them until they all snuggled in bed together. I came home to happy, healthy cats and a clean, tidy house. Thank you Ella and Owen! :)
We could not say enough about how amazing Lauren is! As this was our first time leaving our little guy with a stranger (and having a stranger stay in our home), we were a bit unsure about it all. Not to mention that our dog has considerable behavioural issues and had already scared off one potential sitter! Enter Lauren.... she was a brilliant communicator ahead of our departure, arrived on time as scheduled an hour before we left, and was completely unphased by our dog's aggression and declined our offer to muzzle him even though he had already had a good go at her (most people would have been out the door!). We knew right then that he was in the best hands. Lauren sent photos of our beast (who hates strangers) cuddling with her right after we left - she certainly has the magic touch - and kept in great touch while we were away. We came home to an absolutely immaculate house and a very happy pup who, uncharacteristically, hardly seemed to care that we were home.... while we were disappointed at his lack of enthusiasm, we were so heartened at how much he loved her! We honestly couldn't say enough about Lauren - we were so lucky to find her and would recommend her to anyone and everyone! Thanks for everything, Lauren, you're a legend!
