Yvonne & Michael have been absolutely fantastic, if only we could have them to house sit for us every time that we go away. From the moment that we started to communicate regarding the sit, they asked us all of the right questions about each of our dogs to ensure that they knew exactly what sort of care was needed for each dog. Yvonne & Michael arrived the day before our departure to ensure that we had a proper handover. They made sure that they understood each element of caring for our dogs from the feeding routine to the toilet routine. 2 of our dogs are very elderly dogs, 17 & 16 years old, the 17 year old needed particular care & attention to recognise when he needed to go to the toilet, have a drink etc as he needed to be carried outside. All of the dogs were looked after with great care and patience. Daisy our young dog is now in love with Michael. On our return the house was immaculately clean and tidy, with some homemade soup ready for us in the fridge incase we were hungry after travelling. We really can't recommend Yvonne & Michael enough they are amazing house sitters, and we would have then back to sit for us in a heartbeat.
