Dog Sitters in Iwerne Minster

Caroline and Paul came to look after our three dogs with their two young daughters. They were very competent and confident with the dogs, took them on walks and cuddled up with them on the sofa. They were also tidy, clean and left the house cleaner than they found it! They kept us updated with photos and texts about the dogs. They are just really nice people whokm we would love to welcome back.

Adrian and Ruby were delightful, they arrived before the sit for a 40 minute briefing and asked all the right questions. They communicated well and dealt with any problems that arose. We returned to a happy cat and a very clean house

I cannot recommend Clare and Noel highly enough. They are models for what pet and house-sitters should be. They came to visit and meet me and the cats before the sit, so that Elvis and Tina (the cats) could start to get to know them well in advance of the actual sit. Clare and Noel also arrived a night early to take away any pressure of time – it was great for both me and the cats to have an evening and morning with them. It also gave us time to talk through everything in a relaxed way. Communication before, during and even after the sit has been wonderful. I had photos and videos every day, so I knew my kitties were happy and loved as the purring in the videos testified. Clare and Noel were self-reliant and also asked questions or checked in with me when needed – they showed really good judgement. They took good care of my home, even chopping some wood for kindling and handling communications with oil deliveries. I could not have asked for more care. I came home to a spotless house (and clean refrigerator!), washed linens and towels with the bed re-made and a few essentials in the refrigerator to help me my first day back – so so thoughtful. And Noel had laid a fire for me so I could have a cosy evening with no effort. I think my two cats miss them already, as do I 😊. I feel as though I have gained two new friends. We would all be very happy to welcome Noel and Clare back to Yew Tree Cottage. Thank you, Clare and Noel!

Naz and Norbert did a wonderful job looking after both our house and our pets whilst we were away. Monty got both a run in the morning and a walk each evening so was a very happy and tired dog when we got back (our cat is very self sufficient!) We would not hesitate to recommend them and would happily have them back again in the future.

Becky and Michael were great - I’d have them back anytime. They clearly loved the dogs and even possibly liked the feral cats! Huge advantage was that Becky knows about horses which was great!

Laura was a wonderful House sitter. She looked after the house and cats with such care and mindfulness which we all appreciated. We came home and it looked like no one had ever been. Even the plants seemed to have grown a few inches. Laura was a good communicator and very adaptable. We screwed up on our communication when plans changed and Laura was patient and tolerant despite this clearly having inconvenienced her in no small way - sorry again Laura! We really can't rate Laura highly enough and would recommend her and gladly have her back.

Hannah was amazing from start to finish - we desperately looking for a sitter as a few had let us down last minute and after our initial video we could tell our home and baby would be in safe hands! She was super flexible with arrival times and very honest about the plans she had whilst being in London so that we could arrange for a family member to go round if necessary (which they didn't need to in the end!) There were constant updates with pictures of Sydney and it was obvious how comfortable and happy she was in Hannah's care. The house was left lovely and tidy and everything went so smoothly we are beyond grateful and hope to see Hannah again! Xxx

Julie and Mark were fabulous sitters. Great communication right from the beginning and during our time away. It was lovely to receive photos of the pets and updates on how they were getting on. I returned to a spotless house and even some very thoughtful supplies as we returned late at night. It was real peace of mind to go away knowing the house and pets were in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them.

How lucky we were to have Helene and Dawn (aka Nell and Fou) as our house sitters! We warmed to them as soon as we met them and left for our holiday knowing that Charlie and Max were in very good hands. They kept in touch with us regularly while we were away and posted delightful photos of our boys on Google Drive. On our return the house was absolutely spotless and they'd even washed their bedding, towels and bath mat. We would not hesitate in asking Helene and Dawn to house sit for us again. Many thanks to them both. Gillian and Andrew

Leah and Jack did a superb job looking after our lively cocker spaniel and cat recently. They took time to understand our pets needs and routine and were kind enough to send us regular photos and updates while we were away. Despite arriving home much later than planned, Leah was completely relaxed and we came back to some very happy pets and a really tidy house. We would definitely love to have both of them back to housesit for us again and we would be happy to recommend them. They are kind, considerate and friendly - we are really happy to have met them!

Lyn was very clean and tidy and clearly loves cats. She sent sweet pictures throughout the sit and left the house perfectly, even bringing her own towels, tea towels and dish sponges so as not to use mine. I would say she’s not as confident as previous Housesitters hence my self sufficiency score but apart from that she looked after birdie and my house beautifully and with considerable care. Thank you!

Hayley and Marcus returned for a third time to look after Mousey. He is getting older and now has regular medication. This was not a problem for Hayley and Marcus, they looked after him very well and I believe that he enjoys their company too. This was the longest we have left Mousey (3 weeks) and I don't think he missed us at all! I would recommend Hayley and Marcus without hesitation and hope that they would be happy to return again.
