I struck gold with Stella – she was the most amazing sitter and truly went above and beyond. From the first time I contacted her, Stella was great with communication, I had a video call and immediately knew she could be relied upon and understood my concerns and requirements regarding my dog and cat. I liked the way she asked lots of questions & seemed genuinely interested in my animals. Stella arrived a few hours earlier so we could go on a dog walk together, where I could explain everything in more detail. I could see instantly how natural and relaxed she was with my dog - particularly as she is a young and energic lurcher! Whilst we were away Stella was excellent at communicating, we received regular updates and photos and videos of our pets, and it was obvious she bonded immediately with my dog. She was conscientious and quick to alert and follow up on any concerns, which I appreciated. I found her incredibly organised, intuitive and thoughtful – all the qualities you look for in a pet-sitter! She is clearly an animal lover - and has a particular affinity with dogs, demonstrated by the fact that she has a rescue dog at home. My cat enjoyed her company too (when he wasn’t sleeping all day :) It was such a relief and we were able to fully relax on holiday, knowing that both animals were being well taken care of. I really cannot fault her dedication. The handover was smooth and we came home to very happy animals! She made sure my dog had been on a long walk so she settled during the afternoon with treat puzzles to keep her busy. Our home was left clean and tidy – more so than when we left it! You wouldn't know anyone had been there. She’d stripped the bed and put the sheets in the washing machine and washed all the towels which was very helpful too, especially coming back after a long journey. Stella is a lovely, friendly person with a beautiful soul, and I felt completely relaxed leaving her to take care of everything. I highly recommend her and really hope she comes to sit for us again – my pets loved her. Thank you Stella!

I thought I had written a review but looks like it did not work.  Linda and Les and Linton came over the day before we went away and I could see they were going to be good as they asked questions and listened very carefully when I was explaining the dogs and house.  Linton is a dear little boy, very inquisitive and very good with our rather big hairy dog.  We arrived home to two very happy dogs and an immaculate house.  Everything was perfect and it was a relief to have such efficient sitters as we were out of contact with no internet or phone for a week.
Thank you Les and Linda, hope you will come back again.
