Ruoyi was fantastic! She was extremely communicative throughout the pet sit and sent me status updates on my cat and the state of my apartment. She was very kind and I felt completely at ease knowing she was taking care of my cat while I was away. Would highly recommend!
Joey and Isla were the best! We had the best time staying at Peter and Miranda’s family home in Andover. Peter was great with communication and made us feel right at home. He showed us around their home, the dog’s routine and told us to enjoy their home as they would. We looked after Joey and Isla for 9 days and they were angels! Joey is the life of the party and very enthusiastic, especially if you want to play ball. She is a great cuddlier too! Isla might be 9 but she is a very cheerful doggo. She loves to cuddle and has the best “puppy dog eyes” I’ve ever come across haha. They are so well behaved and such a pleasure to walk on or off lead. We are going to miss cuddle time whilst watching our shows and Joey chatting to us, reminding us that it’s time for walkies haha. Thank you Peter and Miranda for allowing us into your home and letting us look after the girls. They will be missed!! We hope to sit for the girls again in the near future! (: Kirsty & Robbie
These two were a joy to work with! Communication back and forth while they were away was easy and enjoyable, and Mary answered any questions I had over text about the house and Ponti quickly. I felt extremely welcome in their home and was VERY comfortable in the cute downstairs apartment area for the duration of my stay. In the end they were flexible with my schedule and very easy to work with. I would recommend them to anyone, and would be happy to come back myself!
Andrew was a great communicator before the sit, we had a zoom call and he sent us his welcome guide so we could understand what was needed to look after his house and animals. We arrived to meet with Andrew before he went on holiday. Andrew was friendly and shared any last bits of info that we needed. The house is lovely, just as seen in the photos and description. The dogs and cats are great. Monty and Rolo are very loving and fun and want to be with you around the house. They like playing ball in the garden too. They get on well and enjoy their walks up in the hills, Monty particularly, who loves a big run and does twice the steps of you on any walk! Their recall is good and both Monty and Rolo are a joy to watch when out walking. Andrew lets you know where he walks the dogs and there are other lovely walks to try within a 20 minute drive. The dogs settle with you for the day when home. They enjoyed sleeping with us at night, Rolo on the bed (he is relaxed and doesn't move much) and Monty on his bed in the room. The cats are cute. Tinkerbell is chatty and sleeps in various places in the house and potters in the garden. Benji is nice too, he spent most days in our son's room on the bed. There is lots to do as a family in and around Cheltenham. We had an all round fantastic stay. Thank you to Andrew and family for sharing your house with us for the week. We take away very happy memories of a lovely week with your pets. We would very much recommend this house sit.
You know you've had an incredible sit when it absolutely pains you to leave! Katie & Nick were absolutely lovely. Easy to chat to and made us feel at home straight away. They were responsive and appreciative of all of the Willow updates. Their home is extremely beautiful, clean and comfortable. It is also in a beautiful neighbourhood where there is no shortage of restaurants/cafes/shops/bars, is incredibly safe and well connected to public transport. As of the star of the show, Willow, she is the most perfect dog you could ever meet! She has the funniest little personality and loves pats & attention but will also take herself to another room to sleep on the bed! Sometimes we questioned if she was a dog when she didn't want to go for walks because it was raining and her walking pace definitely doesn't shout sheep dog DNA. But she truly is the best girl!! She's very easy going, great on her walks & with other dogs and so well behaved when taking her into cafes. We will miss her so much and hope our paths cross again! I could not recommend sitting for Katie & Nick and the adorable Willow more.
I really enjoyed my time with Bhindi and Leala. They're both super sweet and very mellow. The house is absolutely gorgeous and in a great neighborhood. Heidi was always quick to communicate and happy to answer any questions I had. I felt very welcomed there and im grateful to have had the chance to look after Bhindi and Leala. 10 out 10 sit for sure.
What a lovely home and dog-sit experience! Lauren was an excellent communicator and we were given a helpful guide and maps. Starfox is a wonder… although she’s blind, such a calm sweet girl who loves to walk. We had an excellent time walking her and hanging out in their beautiful home and yard.
