It’s one thing to ask a sitter to watch your home and care for your pets knowing they can just text or call you if they have questions or run into an emergency. It’s another to ask a sitter to do that when you are out of contact 90% of the time! Amanda was the perfect zeewoi to put my mind at ease knowing that both my husband and I would be unreachable most of our time away. She is self-sufficient, intelligent, organized, astute and observant, and after our initial phone chat and intro when she arrived, I felt 100% confident she could handle any situation that might arise. Amanda took great care of our 3 cats and was also fantastic with the 3 foster kittens we are currently caring for in my office. While I had asked her up front if she felt comfortable with the additional care responsibilities, I still felt bad adding more to her plate as the kittens do require more time/attention than our 3 adult cats. Fortunately, she was willing to take on the task and I’m so appreciative of that. She was communicative leading up to the stay, asked thoughtful questions regarding the home, cats, plants, etc, and sent cat and kitten updates even though we were off the grid much of the time. She left the house and my car immaculate. I wholeheartedly recommend Amanda for house-sitting & pet-sitting opportunities. She is a perfect house-guest and a delightful human! We would love to host her again in the future, whether she is sitting or not!

This was a great housesit. I enjoyed looking after Lola and Max, the two dogs. I have a soft spot for older animals and these two were quite sweet. They will be your shadow and appreciate ear scratches and pats. Lola is a great communicator and told me when it was time to play ball or go outside. Max needs to go outside quite often in the evening and I learned his signals quickly. He took his medication well. Moo the cat hung out with me while I watched TV or read my book and was always nearby.

Suzanne was very warm and welcoming - she gave me a little tour of the neighbourhood in her car and had the fridge fully stocked for my visit. Communication was prompt and clear, and the house was cozy and comfortable! If you get a chance to housesit for Suzanne, you’re in for a treat!

This was a really peaceful sit at Amanda & Rory’s comfortable home, surrounded by beautiful fields and valleys with the handsome Kona. We had a couple of relaxed video calls with Amanda prior to the sit and received a useful guide to Kona’s care before we arrived.  The arrival directions were easy to follow, and once we’d met Kona it was an easy handover over a coffee.

You couldn’t wish for a more easy-going dog than Kona! He’s always up for a walk, happily walking miles along the local lanes and cross-country. With so many lambs around and birds nesting, he was on the lead for much of the time but walked well to heel, just needing the occasional reminder. He travelled well in the car as this is a great base to explore Exmoor from and Amanda & Rory left plenty of maps and suggested routes. On a really wet day he was happy with a shorter walk and a run around the garden between snoozes by the Aga! He’s very undemanding but loves affection too, sitting by our feet in the evenings.

Thanks for a lovely few days (despite the weather!) we’d definitely recommend this sit and would happily return.
