Sarah
Our sit for Sarah & Johann was fabulous. They went out of their way to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. Sarah came &  collected us when we arrived  and then went out of her way to take us to the train station when we left, even though they'd only been home a few hours. 
They couldn't have done anything more to make our stay enjoyable. We had a delightful time.
Holly was a joy! Easy to care for. Fun to walk & play with  all over the park grounds behind the house. We loved the ducks & Moscow was a sweetheart, often leaving us gifts in the morning! The village is a short 10 minute walk away & the cutest place. We loved it. The weekly  market was a delight.
A dream housesit. Thank you again Sarah. We'll always remember this sit.

Peter
We absolutely enjoyed this comfortable sit and are very impressed of the generous hospitality of Peter and Guy.
They really made us feel like friends and shared a nice dinner before they left the next day.
Frankie is a super cute cat, very independent and easy to look after. After three days, she even curled up on the bed at Andrés feet during the night.
The beautiful home is located in a very calm area with breathtaking views to the Pyrenees and the hilly landscape.
For Monika it was like paradise to cook in a fully equipped kitchen and André loved the tasty food and a glas of vine from the vinery in Plaisance.
The region is full of history and interesting places to explore. Do not miss to visit the museum of d’Artagnan in Lupiac, or the various farmers markets.
Peter and Guy, thank you very much for welcoming us and trusting us. We highly recommend this sit and would love to come back one day.

Rob
Rob and Indie's home was in a beautiful village, which I wasn't expecting when I saw Kettering as the address! Rob was good to communicate with both before and during the sit and made us feel welcome in his home. The expected and unplanned builders were a bit of a shock but they were so respectful that i suspect Rob had warned them!
Indie was an absolute darling to look after. As others have mentioned, she does like to sing a long, although I thought it was because she didn't like the Archers theme tune that she was howling. There are some great walks from the doorstep and some a few miles away in the car. Indie was no trouble at all in the car and hopped in our little convertible without any problems.
We really enjoyed our stay in Rob's place, Indie was a real pleasure to take care of and the local pub has a great garden for watching the sunset from with Indie by your side...but you get the same view from the house so it's just an excuse to sample the locally distilled Gin. 
We would definitely go back.

Arlin was welcoming and communicative and handled few last minute changes of dates that have occurred perfectly! Nala and Maki are lovely, each with their own needs and personality which will be described by Arlin in an accurate pdf guide and further on in person.
I'm happy of the time spent there and I can recommend Arlin as a host :)

Stephanie
We had a wonderful sit at Stephanie, Jo & Marmot’s home. Stephanie & Jo were both very warm & friendly & insisted their home was our home for the stay. The home, our room & facilities  were beautiful & very comfortable - they had left supplies to meet all our needs! Mighty Marmot the gentle wonder dog was such a smoochie poochie! We loved him & are missing him already! He was so well behaved & loved his walks; drives & beach swims! He never woke us before 7.30am & even then was patiently waiting for us to stir… what a gentleman. We can highly recommend this sit & beautiful part of the south coast!

Valerie's home is very comfortable and clean. I was made welcome on arrival and communication was good.
Cosmo was a delight. She was a bit timid at first but soon came around. 
Valerie's home is a short walk from the local shops with a lot going on.
Thank you Valerie for a lovely stay.
