Joseph took care of our cat and house-sat for us for 2 weeks. In advance of our trip, we were able to do both a virtual and in-person meet and greet to ensure everyone felt comfortable and do a walk through of the house, which we really appreciated.While we were away, Joseph responded quickly to texts/any questions we sent and provided photo and text updates every 1-2 days. Upon our return, our cat seemed happy. Unfortunately, the day of our return, Joseph accidentally locked himself out of our house. He communicated with us and we were able to provide him access to a backup key. However, when we returned home about an hour and a quarter later, we were surprised to find that he was still there (he was supposed to have left much earlier in the day before we arrived home, and we knew he was running a little behind because of the lockout, but he didn’t tell us he would still be there when we walked in). He texted us that the house was clean and ready for us, but unfortunately the house was not clean and the cat litter boxes were quite smelly and appeared not to have been changed or scooped in many days. While we realize that getting locked out of the house created some delays in getting packed and tidying the house, we were upset to find the kitty litter in that state and for the clear disorganization, at least in the final day. We provided this feedback directly to Joseph and hope that this was a one-time experience. However, we would urge clear communication around any expectations for cleaning, communication, and care.

This was Anne's first sit and I know it won't be her last! She was absolutely terrific in every single way. Since she arrived the night before we left, we had an opportunity to get to know her a little bit. I just loved Anne, and felt she could be a new and valued friend. She immediately related to our dogs, and they related well to her. I know she took them on adventures (a walk is always an adventure for them), and they loved it. I think they were more sad to see her go than happy for us to come home! Arriving home, everything was absolutely perfect, including the beautiful bouquet of flowers left on our kitchen counter. Pleeeease come back soon!!!!

The three cuddlespaniels! Trixie, Twiggy and Jas were an absolute treat. They are very friendly pups that communicate very clearly and are balls of affection. Daniel was also fantastic - took us for a walk around the neighbourhood to show the normal walking route, made us feel very welcome and relaxed and was very quick to reply if we ever had any questions. We all enjoyed both our daily walks in the neat little town of Watton. Great pub close by at Griston, a few decent spots to eat in town and Norwich is not too far away. We’re going to miss you three 💛 thanks again Daniel for letting us stay in your lovely home
