Very highly recommended, caring, organised and friendly couple. Barb & Erik were fantastic house & doggie sitters and took wonderful care of our two dogs Doris & Winston whilst we were away. From the moment they got in touch they were very organised and filed us with confidence that they would take care of everything when we were away. We really enjoyed a drink and dinner with Barb & Erik before we left on our travels and felt lucky to have found this friendly couple. Both Barb and Erik showed amazing patience and care towards our nervous dog Doris and took the time to gain her trust so much so that she even ventured on the sofa with Erik for a cuddle! Our bundle of energy Winston loved playing with them both and was trying to follow them out of the door when it was time for them to leave, he loved his new friends! We were so happy to receive daily updates on the doggies and this put our mind at ease to enjoy our trip knowing that the dogs were happy and well cared for. We returned to a lovely tidy home and two very happy, healthy doggies. I really hope that we can have Barb & Erik back one day, they were absolutely fantastic sitters and the next animals in their care will be lucky to have them! Thank you both for doing such a wonderful job here and we all hope to see you again soon!
