Dog Sitters in Hotham

Jennie & Alan house/ pet sitted with their daughter over the August bankholiday, which should have been a gorgeous summer weekend but storm Lillian had other plans. Jennie & Alan weren't phased by the weather which blew the bins over & lots of branches on the forest tracks but none of this stopped them enjoying days out & activities nearby. The house was lovely & clean on my return home with bed linen,towels all washed & drying- a few things out of place but Jennie was quick to messege me when I couldn't find things. The birds & cat seemed happy on my return & seemed well cared for in my absense- I appreciated some good photo's & updates on progress whilst away. I was pleased the house plants & greenhouse had been watered as guests often forget that duty. It's a pity we hadn't had an in- person contact handover at the start of the sit due to arrival timings but I sent video & written instructions to help them find everything & they where quick to ask if they needed local or other information. I'd happily have them to return sit & so glad their daughter enjoyed the pets & garden :)

Thanks for looking after our kitties so well! We found Lindsay to be friendly, chilled, trustworthy and reliable. Lindsay organized to come the day before the sit so we could show her the place and the kitties quirky routines- which we really appreciated. Our cats were happy, relaxed and healthy upon our return. We could tell they had been taken good care of.

Zac and Kathryn were great sitters and Ralph had a super time with them! They took him on some lovely walks and he seemed really relaxed and happy when we got home. Ralph can have a sensitive tummy at times but Zac and Kathryn dealt with this really well. Communication both before and after the stay was great and we got lots of updates and photos of Ralph whilst we were away which was lovely. The house was clean and tidy when we returned. We would definitely recommend Zac and kathryn and wouldn't hesitate to have them sit for Ralph again. Thanks Guys!

Just back from holiday where Miriam sat for us and couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Communication was great throughout and we returned to a very happy cat, a clean and tidy house - plus a lovely home made cake for our return. I’m very happy we chose Miriam for our sit and would gladly have her back again if the situation allowed.

Lizzie and Emily were delightful and looked after our house & dogs beautifully. We would welcome them back anytime

We were truly blessed to have Jenny and Brian look after our animal family and home. They are such lovely people! Kind caring and considerate, they sent us daily photos and updates and we came home to happy healthy animals and our home was beautifully kept, garden and allotment attended to too! - Thank you!. Our dog loved them and loved going on adventures with them! Thank you so much Jenny and Brian, we do hope to see you again xx

Thankyou to Ellie & Katie! this was a wonderful house sitting experience from start to finish with Ellie and Katie. Communication was excellent, really warm and friendly and trustworthy. Caring, considerate, fun and kept in touch the whole time. Such a pleasure to meet you both and thankyou for taking so much care of Teddy and giving him so much love! x

We have just been away for a week, leaving James to look after 2 dogs, 2cats and a horse. He arrived spot on the time expected and the dogs immediately took to him, as did we. It was so easy telling him what needed to be done and when we were away he kept us updated with lovely photos. The animals obviously loved him and when we got home it was as if no-one had been here, just as we'd left it and we hope he'll come again .

Ellie was a fantastic sitter. Leo and Jess were very happy and contented and she kept the house clean and tidy. I would thoroughly recommend her and would definitely want her to sit for us again

Although communication upfront was fine and expectations clearly informed and agreed, Christine unfortunately informed us halfway through the sit that she wanted to leave due to not reaching her work objectives. One of the dogs had obtained a small injury, through unknown cause, which required vet care. Although C. agreed to stay until a replacement for her had been found, it was a lot of (in our view unnecessary) hassle and stress during our holiday. Not what you/we would expect from a trusted house/pet sitter. And not what we ever experienced before.

Roxy was an incredible pet sitter. She was so calm and caring with Rainbow and Zippy. Both cats were relaxed and happy in her company - we could tell from the regular updates and photos that Roxy sent to us. Roxy enjoyed the peace and quiet. She filled the home with meditation and beautiful energy. Additionally Roxy agreed to allow a painter decorator to work in the house while we were away and she looked after and kept alive some unexpected fry/baby fish born in my fish tank. We would have Roxy back again and I hope that she will visit us in the future as a house guest.

Rachael was wonderful - she looked after the dogs, cats, fish and chickens! I came back to a house that was spotless, dogs happy and the fish had been cleaned out! It was such a relief as I find it hard to leave my pets when I go away - but they were very well looked after.
