Chris & Helen were fantastic! I appreciated how friendly and communicative they both were. I trusted them completely and would highly recommend them as house and pet sitters. They were clean, caring to our animals and lovely humans in general.
Benjamin was wonderful! He is confident, self assured, he has a calming relaxed nature and he is very easy to get on with and very polite. We had never selected a solo gentlemen before but Benjamin made a really good choice for our cats. Benjamin did not need a car. He was very self sufficient and organised. We were so impressed how light he traveled… a very small day sack for an entire 10 days with us. He had an entire week of reading planned and hung out with the cats. We could tell that he had spent a lot of time with the cats by the location that they chose to curl up in when he sent photos. They gave up their usual favourite to be close to Benjamin and they became increasingly affectionate towards him very quickly. This was a great sign for us. Communication was great before the sit and regular updates and photos of two very content cats were sent to us while we were away. We knew the house and plants were in good hands also - and so we were able to fully relax and enjoy our vacation. Finally I want to mention his honesty and integrity. On our arrival home Ben pointed out some minor damage to an outdoor shutter bracket that he was not sure was damaged before. As it happened it was already damaged before the sit and a strong gust of wind against the frame would have finished it off naturally. We were impressed that he pointed it out to us on our return. I would highly recommend Benjamin in future and would definitely welcome him back.
