Prue
We really enjoyed our sit at Rose Cottage looking after the adorable and very well behaved Megan and Tommy. They were full of character but also relaxed and an absolute pleasure to be with. We loved walking them in the wonderful Woodside Park where they both enjoyed meeting other dogs and runs off the lead.
Prue’s home is cosy, with every comfort and a charming garden full of roses which we really made the most of in the wonderful weather. Contact was good before and during our sit. We would be very happy to return. Thank you Prue for choosing us.

Wilf & Tom were an absolute dream to look after, very low maintenance, snuggly boys that just wanted to chill with you while you went about your day. Theresa and her family made us feel completely at home in their house, had great communication while they were away and we’d recommend them to any future sitters!

Donna and Ron were so welcoming and helpful. The instructions were clear and the house was comfortable and well located for access to town and outdoor activities. I loved spending time with Bella and Blue. They were easy to care for and quick to warm to having me in the house. Blue in particular took a liking to me and was eager for pets or time on my lap whenever I was home. Bella was less clingy but came for pets a few times a day or to show me that she wanted to be let out.. I’d happily care for these cuties again :)

Emma
We had a fantastic time with Peggy, Athena, and Aristurtle. Aristurtle was very easy to care for and would try to swim towards us.  Athena and Peggy loved to play fetch inside the apartment and go on their walks.  They are happy/healthy dogs and they gave us the warmest welcome whenever we returned back to the apartment.   They also loved to cuddle with you on the couch and gave us a lot of affection.  Peggy was a bit nervous around my husband the 1st day, but they became buddies after that.  She is also a bit nervous when getting her harness on to ride the elevator, but other than that, she loves the outdoors.  Emma is a total sweetheart and communicates well.  We appreciate the effort she put forth to have the apartment ready for us.  The only minus about the apartment was the smell of urine on the carpet.  This is to be expected when raising dogs so the only recommendation I have is to steam clean if the apartment complex will allow for that.   Note to future sitters:  At times, one of the elevator doors will open and close suddenly so please be careful so that the doors do not close on the dogs.  We noticed this, and therefore kept the dogs away from the door until we knew it was fully open.

We enjoyed a really relaxing sit with Kasper at Louise & Richard’s. Communication with Louise was easy, both before and during the visit, and instructions for care of Kasper and the house were clear and straightforward.

Kasper’s affectionate but not demanding, a chilled and very gentle but strong dog. We enjoyed hours of local walks (some very muddy at times!) with Kasper who was perfectly happy on his extending lead as long as he had plenty of time to stop and sniff along the way. Louise and Richard’s house and garden are beautiful, with everything you could wish for. We particularly enjoyed a couple of sunny hours in the garden watching Kasper chase bees, and cosy evenings sharing the sofa with him too.

Thanks for a lovely long weekend, we’d thoroughly recommend this sit and would happily return.

Jacob & Max
Valentina, Nina, and Ruttley were such a delight to experience! Even though the bunch includes two dogs and one cat, they are all comfortable around each other. Nina (cat) loves to feel included with any activities for Ruttley and Valentina, so whenever I gave the doggos their morning supplements, I would also give Nina some of her kibble as well. 

Jacob and Max left clear instructions as well as constant support during the sit. I truly felt like they wanted me to feel at home. Honestly, the pets made me feel welcome in the cozy and well-organized rowhouse too! I especially enjoyed the back patio with all the fur babies. As for the neighborhood, it is quaint and Ruttley and Valentina love to take slow-paced walks around the area. 

For groceries I had a good experience with Giant Food pickup. Their house is well-located so there are buses whizzing by ready to take you to your tourist destinations. This was an enjoyable and relaxing sit that I'm sure will satisfy your expectations too!
