Nora was everything you could have asked for in a house sitter. She asked really thoughtful questions that made us feel like she cared. She read and re-read our house guide and made sure she fully understood her duties before we left. She even came by a day early to meet the cats and have lunch with us so we would feel comfortable with each other, which we appreciated. While we were gone, Nora sent us daily updates about the cats and our plants. She even would ask for advice on some of my plants to save them from dying in the summer heat. We also let her use my car which we felt comfortable leaving with her because we saw how careful she drove another house sitters car when she came the day before. She was willing to sign an agreement with us before hand, we had her covered on our insurance and she assured us she would only use it for the grocery store and places that were too far away. You could tell she took good care of the car and I think she even cleaned it! When we came home the house was so clean and well maintained. My plants were thriving and so were the cats! They were quiet and purring when we came home which was a sign that they were very happy. Nora is just a really good person to have in your home. You can tel she really loves animals and cares about your home and your animals well being. She even reconnected a dog she saw roaming around with their rightful owner. That is very telling of her personality. We highly recommend Nora and hope one day we can have her visit again!

Frank and Annie were exceptional pet and home sitters! They arrived right on time and immediately bonded with Hazel. Communication was great during our long weekend away: I received many pictures of my sweet dog. We returned to a very happy dog and a spotless house. I would love to invite Frank and Annie back for another sit, and I recommend them highly!

Holly was a great sitter. She treated my dogs very caring and lovingly, which I really appreciate and is what I look for, that the sitter enjoys my pets company and she really did. My home was clean when we came back. I would have Holly back for another sitting anytime. Thanks Holly!! 💜

I had a really good time with Betty in the lovely house. I really felt at home there and Bristol is a nice city for young people. Thanks for everything :)

Wow, what a fabulous stay with Bramble and Peanut! All the thumbs-up, plus 100…

David and Alexandra are excellent hosts. We so appreciate their trust and kindness in welcoming us into their home. We were very prepared for our stay and had wonderful support nearby if needed. Their home is so comfy, we had everything we could need (including fresh eggs from the chickens!). 

Bramble and Peanut are pure joy, we had so much fun with them. We loved the long walks with Bramble, who was in her element bounding about the farm, looking for whatever might be in the hedge or in a hole. Peanut claimed a spot on Blair’s lap whenever possible, and also engaged in rounds of “chase” (with us and Bramble). 

We are so happy to have met this fab family. A huge thank you to David and Alexandra for your hospitality and friendship. We so enjoyed meeting you and are grateful for the opportunity to experience this lovely part of England. We will forever have fond memories of our time on the farm with Bramble and Peanut and hope to cross paths with you all again.

I felt so fortunate to be able to spend time in Amy's house, along with pet hosts Ellie and Henry for the perfect staycation. I am local to the area and the neighborhood in which the house is located is perfection--very safe, quiet and walkable to the waterway, Market Street, and Hughes Landing where there are grocery stores, and wonderful places to shop and eat.  Amy is very kind and quick to respond to any questions you may have, easily reachable by text or phone call. 

The home itself is well appointed, with everything you could need during your stay. Comfy places to sit inside and out. I spent a lot of time on the back porch with Ellie and Henry as the weather was so nice. There are three guestrooms to choose from upstairs, all lovely and very comfortable. As a single woman staying in the house I also appreciated that they had lights on a timer that come on in the evening, adding to the feeling safe factor for me.  The kitchen is top notch and has everything you need should you want to cook or prepare meals for yourself. 

Both Ellie and Henry are such sweethearts and so low maintenance. Ellie is the perfect hostess, always with you making sure you are ok, very adorable. I had no problems being able to give her the medication she takes, she eagerly gobbles it up in her "treat" without issue. Henry is affectionate and always at ease, lounging on top of the sofa or on the back porch. I really enjoyed their company during my stay and so looking forward to spending more time with Ellie and Henry in the future when the opportunity arises!

Would definitely recommend--5 stars all around!

Fantasic pets, location, and host.  Everything was perfect, clean, spacious and just as listed.  A rare opportunity to explore a coastal paradise and a very eco friendly community.

William and Brandon were incredibly welcoming from the start. Their communication was exemplary, ensuring a smooth experience before, during, and after our stay. Their professionalism and warmth as hosts, reminiscent of their Airbnb hosting expertise, made us feel right at home.
Luka and Fredo were a joy to care for. Despite Luka’s blindness, he was easy to manage, and his condition posed no problems. We made sure to keep an eye on them during feeding times, so Luka could eat in peace. Both pets, with their cat-like independence, were affectionate and made for cozy companions on the couch and outdoor lounge. 
The house offered all the comforts one could ask for, including a comfy bed, a beautifully designed kitchen with everything we needed and convenient parking right out front. The backyard was a private sanctuary, featuring a hot tub and pool that were perfect for both the warm days and cool evenings. 
Altogether, this house sit was a delightful experience. The combination of a comfortable home, lovable pets, and thoughtful hosts made our time both enjoyable and memorable. We look forward to future opportunities to care for Luka and Fredo. If you get the chance, jump at it.

We loved watching Mars, Silver, and Polo! They were a ton of fun and such sweethearts. The majority of the day they napped, always near us, and we walked them twice a day. They were very affectionate and snuggly and we loved getting to know each’s personality. 

The home was very unique and Katy and Tim were great! Would definitely recommend this pet sit, and we’ll miss the pups!
