Where to begin? I guess with the joy of meeting such a beautiful young family of four. Due to a family emergency, I had to leave the country quickly, and Madeleine responded within a few hours of my posting the sit, and we confirmed quickly. Madeleine (Maddy); her husband, Sam; and their adorable, well-behaved and precocious (in the best possible!) children, Isaac and Hazel arrived a day early so I could show them around. They instantly connected with the dogs, and me, and I felt totally confident and at ease leaving the responsibilities of the dogs and house to them. While I was gone, they sent me regular updates, with photos, of their family outings on the property with the dogs, and I was completely at peace during a very difficult time, dealing with the loss of my son and my mother. What they didn’t send me were photos of all the mowing and brush cutting that Sam had been doing! Indeed, in addition to exceptional care of the dogs — and additional burdens like watering 90 young olive trees by hand, as well as other plants and garden, tending to hens — Sam tackled long overdue maintenance of the grounds, including tractor mowing and brush cutting with a powerful Stihl brush-cutter that I still don’t even dare to use! What a gift it was to return to such a tidy place. When I had to prolong my stay abroad and arranged to have another sitter come to fill in the gap, Maddy and Sam arranged for a perfect transition, explaining everything that needed to be done and how (not at all evident, and spread out all over the property), and it happened without a hitch. They left their guesthouse spotless, the grounds in better shape than it had been in months, and my two dogs happy and stress-free. I’m so grateful to all four of you for your kindness and generosity. I’m glad you live so close, so that you can come back and visit. You’re welcome anytime.

We had the best time with Winnie at Paul and Chrissie’s charming home in their beautiful garden, also enjoying their warm hospitality and delicious supper on our first evening.  Winnie is a sweetheart and great companion - gentle, well mannered and quick to follow instruction.
Detailed guidelines, a thorough handover and excellent communication made for an easy and relaxed stay in a super comfortable guest suite.  Fresh eggs, fruit and produce were an added bonus.
The area is one of natural beauty, with lovely walks through farmlands and glorious countryside - bird/wildlife and clear skies to enjoy.
A special treat for us was meeting Chrissie’s parents and spending some time with them.  We’re so thankful for this opportunity and would return in a heartbeat!

It was a privilege to stay in Sara & Richard’s beautiful home. The views from the terrace are stunning. Tiggy & Misty are real little characters, very inquisitive, friendly and a joy to care for. Being experienced house sitters themselves , Sara left clear instructions about their routine and it made things very easy. This was, without doubt, a 5 star house-sit.
