First off, Carys is absolutely LOVELY and so it's difficult (and uncomfortable) to write a negative review, but for us, this house sit was disappointing. We had originally advertised for a cat sitter, but our circumstances changed prior to the sit (no cat now), and instead we needed someone to be there just to water the plants. We have two well stocked courtyards of plants back and front of the house. Carys was happy to do this. The brief was to water and deadhead the plants DAILY. We returned to find the plants in the front courtyard absolutely parched. Soil completely dried out in most pots, plants limp and most of the flowers in our two window boxes dead. Nothing had been deadheaded. The front courtyard certainly hadn't been watered in a while. (The back courtyard at least had been watered, which was good). Whilst Carys had left the house relatively tidy, it hadn't been cleaned (ie: cleaning products used to wipe down the kitchen surfaces, cooker, bathroom, wash the floor, polish furniture etc). After being in the house for 3 weeks we would expect the house sitter to do a thorough clean throughout the house for our return. Not leave us to have to start doing it when we arrive back. It was disappointing. Carys is lovely and had been kind enough to leave us a note, flowers and a bottle of wine, but I feel she needs a better understanding of what taking care of a home fully entails. I'm sure this will be a learning curve for her, and our comments will be taken forward for future sits. Carys we really wish you well.

Carly did SUCH a wonderful job with our very old and attention seeking kitty 😂 Carly was attentive, super clean, and left our guest room EXACTLY as we left it - fresh sheets, towels and all!

We are so happy with our experience with Carly. We would love to have her back anytime. Would highly recommend!

They were wonderful hosts, left us a clean and welcoming home. Extremely clear and concise in the communication, gave all the needed pointers to be comfortable in their home and town. Most importantly gave very thorough and pretty simple instructions to care for Frank and Libby. Frank is the sweetest little love bug, will sleep in with you and enjoy leisurely paced walks and give you tons of cuddles. Libby is a sweet little princesses and shows up when she pleases or is hiding away in her spots, once she takes after you( my partner was the chosen one) she’ll just handout next to you and may ask for a pet or two. It’s a wonderful town, with so much green, it’s refreshing.10/10 would recommend you hang out with Frank and Libby.

Our experience was lovely, Melania and Kevin were very fun to look after. Both have their own personality and it was fun to get to know them! Alejandro was there when we arrived, and gave us a great tour around the house & tips on how we best take care of the cats. Both Tim & Alejandro helped us out when we had questions, we had a great time & would love to come back!

Shannon
We had a blast sitting for Shannon and Ronnie. Captian got along great with our dog, and we were really sad to leave him behind. The cats, Echo and Tux, were very friendly and low-maintenance.

Shannon and Ronnie left clear instructions for us, and were quick to communicate with us during their trip. Their house is clean, comfortable, and centrally located - close to some of the best parks and shopping in the East Bay. We would gladly return for another housesit, and would 100% recommend them to any prospective sitters.

We had such a wonderful time in Totnes looking after Lucy who is absolutely adorable. Carole and Tony couldn't have been more hospitable and they have a very beautiful home. Lucy is full of energy and loves walking and playing which the area lends itself to easily, heaps of lovely walks right on the doorstep and Darmoor very close by.

Wrigley is great! She was anxious on the first night and needed some time to feel comfortable, but after that, she was relaxed and incredibly sweet. She is easy to walk and always stayed near me while I worked from home. She’s a celebrity around town, as multiple people greeted her on our walks. Scott and Laurie were friendly and left clear instructions. The home and yard are lovely, and Larkspur and the surrounding area offer much to do. I highly recommend this sit!

Emma
This was a short sitting but beautifully formed. We had a great time with Wooster, while looking after Emma and Alastair's delightful home.

They made us feel very welcome on arrival and Wooster was very easy and enjoyable to look after from the start.

Wooster is a very social dog, in and out of the house. At home he likes to get his toys thrown at him and does not tire of it! But equally he is relaxed and great company. During walks, he is interested in greating other dogs happily. He walks well on the leash and is a joy to take on long walks and in the car, where he totally relaxes. He is great with children, and our 8 year old got on famously with him. Similar kind of energy levels :)

The beautiful home is very comfortable and welcoming, and has a lovely garden that we were lucky enough to enjoy as the weather was very kind to us. Emma and Alaistair prepared it for us very nicely.

The area is gorgeous with great little villages, forests and towns nearby.

Thank you Emma and Alaister for making us feel welcome and sharing your home with us and your precious Wooster.

We were missing him already in the afternoon, when we were walking by ourselves in another forest!

We definitely recommend this sit to any lucky future sitter and would love to be back ourselves!
