Dale
We looked after the home and pets of Dale and Rob over the new year period and loved it. Their home was the perfect place to get away from the city with a quiet meandering country road leading to the countryside. We cared for Ella and Tommy, their lovely cats who enjoy company and are also independent. In the morning and evening there were ducks and chickens to feed and let out and return to their hutches. We spent days walking about Sanna beach and the lighthouse, beautiful in the brisk moody weather which was perfect for photos! We visited Tobermory on the ferry, ate at the wonderful cafe there and sampled whisky at the distillery.  When settling for the evening we all (my husband and two children) relaxed by the fire watching movies. I would highly recommend house-sitting in the lovely Kilchoan. Thank you so much Dale and Rob for trusting us in your home! xx

Susan
I had a lovely stay in bath, it has a perfect combination of city and country life.  Susan was very accomodating and her house was lovely, modern and clean. The dogs Joey and Lilie were amusing in their own ways, loving and very well behaved on walks. I explored Primrose Woods by foot, which had many different paths to wonder through. I will be happy to sit for Susan again.

It was an absolute treat having the privilege to care for Mara and Kato while their parents were away. 

This was the first time they had a sitter care for them in their home. Mara is a love bug that loves physical touch and brushing. Once you earn her trust, she looks directly into your eyes with such love. Kato warms up in her own time. Once we bonded, she allowed me to comb her and woke me up with sweet little kisses.

Mara is an athletic and clever girl who loves walking off lead and playing fetch in the park. One day, we walked almost 10 miles, and she could have easily done another 10. On a few occasions, Kato tried to join us on our walk.
 
The home was spotless, well designed, and perfectly situated in this cute town within walking distance to everything, grocery,  markets and restaurants. There are plenty of nature paths and waterways to walk in peace. 

Mark and Nathalie were an absolute pleasure spending time with. They kindly picked me up from the train station and dropped me off at my next sit, helping with my luggage at every point. I enjoyed our deep conversations over meals and the walk to the local farm for fresh cheese and sweets. They were super responsive to my chats and loved my video updates. They made me feel comfortable and welcomed. I would love the opportunity to sit for them in the future and highly recommend!

Ellen
We really enjoyed our time with Otto. He's got a lot of character, and he made us laugh regularly with his facial expressions and his big dramatic sighs!  He is extremely well behaved on walks. He is responsive on the lead, and very calm around people and other dogs. His hunting dog instincts are entertaining. He constantly sniffs out animals in the reserves and points to them, then moves on after he's shown you what a great hunter he is.

He got very excited when one/both of us returned to the house, even after the shortest absence.  We found we could calm him pretty quickly when he got excited: nothing like a long belly rub to take his mind off the excitement. We would recommend sitters have experience with big dogs to look after Otto.

Ellen and Steven live in a lovely location, with lots of variety for walks with Otto. The shops, cafes and restaurants are very close by. Ellen and Steven's place is clean and comfortable.

We spent 2 weeks over Christmas and New Year in Barbarroja with Sally and Molly!
To take care of them was a privilege! 
They are beautiful, big, intelligent, strong and have a very sweet soul! 

Jane and Nigel contacted us a few months prior and we could already feel their warmth and positive personality, even on video. We immediately accepted the offer. 
When we arrived on December 20th, Jane welcomed us with open arms and gave us detailed instructions on how to manage their solar panel home and take care of the girls, before she left for the UK, where Nigel already was.

The location is beautiful and with such an interesting landscape! We loved the rural aspect and the many gorgeous trails up  the hills in front of the house. We probably would have not discovered this part of Spain, if it wasn't for this sit.
Also, we loved the sunsets views from several beautiful terraces around the home. 
We spent a lot of time outside on each one of the terraces and had a beautiful cozy Christmas Eve dinner. We were blessed to have gorgeous sunny weather around 20 degree Celcius during the day, all along! 

We also have wonderful memories of going on walks with Sally and Molly and lounging by the fireplace in the evening, rubbing their bellies.
Sally was very friendly since the beginning and Molly as well, but perhaps a bit more wild, liking to chase bunnies, birds and anything moving in the bushes. 
Jane told us it would be tough to bring them on walks, as they are very strong dogs but Patrice managed to lead them well. They liked the exercise. We went hiking with them two or three times within the two weeks. They rested well for the night after hiking up the hills :) 
Truly, you have to be careful and go where there are no tractors, cars and keep me on the trail at all times or just remain home.
We miss them and treasure the adventure and memories we made!

Thank you again Jane and Nigel for allowing us to take care of Sally a& Molly and experience your beautiful home!

Bailey
We had an amazing time staying at Bailey and Kyle’s house. Valentine is such a sweet and easy dog, and we loved cuddling with her on the couch and playing with her.

The house was comfortable with all the amenities you need for a short or long term stay, and a great location for dog walks with a small park and the canal so close by. Do keep in mind you would probably need a car for this location.

We highly recommend this sit and would love to be back if we’re ever in Phoenix!
