Helen and Nick were absolute dream Housesitters! We couldn't have asked for nicer people to look after our two cats for the week. They got in touch well in advance of their sit to ask questions and figure out logistics, and arrived early in the morning on the day we had to leave so they were able to meet us in person before their stay. They kept us updated with how the cats were doing while we were away (which I love), watered our garden and house plants, and kindly stayed later on the evening of their departure to feed the cats as our fight home was delayed. They left us a wonderful note detailing their adventures during their stay, with lots of tips about places to visit that we've not yet had the chance to explore. On top of this, they left the house absolutely immaculate, as well as washing the bedding and towels they used before departing (which was a great help to me with a suitcase of holiday laundry to do on our return!). They also left us a beautiful gift which was so personal and so lovely we haven't stopped smiling whenever we look at it. In summary, wonderful Housesitters who we would be delighted to have stay with us again any time and who we hope to keep in touch with :-)
I cannot recommend Nathalie and Hanspeter highly enough. They are both extremely competent, totally trustworthy and a more delightful couple it would be hard to find. They made friends with Saffie from day one who then decided that Nathalie and HP must be part her family. HP especially formed a close bond and he would race her to the top of the hill above the lake. Nathalie and HP looked after the garden beyond our expectations so that by the time they left it looked immaculate. They even cleaned the dirty tiles surrounding the pool until they looked as good as new. The cottage they lived in was left even more immaculate than immaculate (if that’s possible!) If you need a competent and happy couple to look after your house and pets, go for them if you can. They are the perfect house sitters. They have promised to come back one day and without hesitation, we would welcome them with open arms.
