As soon as Zoe’s application popped up on my screen, I knew instantly that she would be a perfect fit for our house sit… she immediately stood out from the crowd. And we were right… Zoe is the PERFECT house sitter. We’ve had many wonderful house sitters over the years but Zoe rates as one of our top sitters.. she has that special ‘something’ :) From our very first conversation, we were struck by Zoe’s genuine interest, warmth, friendliness and her enthusiasm and authenticity. Zoe clearly loves animals …and it didn’t take us long to see that our VERY fussy and quirky Siamese cat (Chloe) was feeling extremely relaxed with Zoe. Our chatty fur baby who can sometimes be a handful, was asking Zoe to pet her tummy (…that usually comes with a warning label if she doesn’t trust you); and she was in her ‘happy’ pose in the gorgeous daily video’s and photo’s that we got from Zoe. We are convinced that Chloe didn’t even realise that we were gone, and she slept in Zoe’s room the first night after we got back, which is unusual. We think that she was missing Zoe… We have very specific requirements around Chloe’s food and general care, and Zoe clearly respected and followed all our (long list of) instructions. On top of caring for Chloe, Zoe went the extra mile by helping us feed our local wildlife (wallabies; possums and magpies), as it’s been extremely dry and there has been a food shortage for wildlife. She took everything in her stride. We came back to an immaculate home, a relaxed and happy cat and well-fed wildlife. We can’t recommend Zoe highly enough and we’ll be asking her to return for our next sit if we’re lucky enough that she’s available. Thank you, Zoe, for stepping in for us whilst we were away and for taking such amazing care of our fur baby, wildlife and home. We’ve now got you on speed dial and you’ll be the first call we make when we go away again in the future ;)

Mary
This was an amazing sit.  Mary communicated very well every step of the process.  She is a wonderful pet parent, an elegant woman who is well traveled, articulate, funny and gracious.  

Miss Katie is adorable and extremely well behaved.  She rarely barks, loves to be laying, and sitting right near you.  Miss Katie enjoys playing fetch with her many chewy toys.

The location is amazing.  It is just a couple miles from the ocean and rivers are every where.  Lovely little shops line the historic district and sprinkled amongst those were nice restaurants.  

We recommend this sit and would return again if Miss Katie and Mary wanted us.

Wendy
House-sitting for Wendy was a pleasure. The terms of the sit were clearly arranged, and the house was readied for a sitter. There was no trouble at all and I would happily sit for her again ! :)

Nicola
The sit was just lovely. I felt very welcomed by Nicky and Antony. The house and property are very pretty yet comfortable, along with the small village. Socks- the year old terrier puppy was as expected- full of energy, loved walks and the out of doors, loves to play fetch indoors and loves to be close by wherever you are around.  The basic schedule was communicated well, a list of neighbors close at hand, a l lovely dog-walker neighbor checked in often and was very helpful and cheerful. I was given a lovely room to make my little nest and i sleep very soundly in the quiet house my comfortable bed. Would sit again!

Richard
Richard and Phiona made me feel very welcome from the moment of our first communication and I was very happy to visit them at their home to meet Valentino and Satchmo prior to us all agreeing the sit. I'm pleased they chose me as I have to admit to falling head-over-heels with the amazing Valentino on first sight!  I was asked during this visit if I had any problem the potentially addition of another dog before the date of the house sit (I didn't!) so was overjoyed when puppy Siena was adopted in to the family. 

Arriving the night before Richard and Phiona's departure gave me the opportunity to see the household routine in action so I could confidently provide continuity to the pets; especially important with a puppy who is still very much in a learning phase. It's a big leap of trust to leave one's beautiful home, beloved pets and car in the hands of someone else and therefore the time we spent together prior to Richard and Phiona jetting off was invaluable  (even though it was initially a bit nerve-wracking having Richard oversee my inaugural driving of his car in the snow!).  

Looking after the home, Satchmo, Valentino and Siena was a *pleasure*. Valentino is a true gentleman of a dog; he made me laugh so much with his little 'inside barks' when I'd forgotten to give him his 'washing-up ball' and walking him was wonderful - he's so large and handsome that people stopped us regularly to comment; he's certainly a head-turner! He followed me everywhere like a shadow and Siena is such a delightfully mad puppy that it was hard not to laugh at her when she made a bee-line for the muddiest puddle she could find, running through it, nose down, like a truffling pig! She also adored being brushed every evening  - they were both great company. I particularly enjoyed the walks in the area; Windsor Great Park, the Long Walk, Savill Gardens and around the lake at Virginia Water were wonderful. I walked just under 120 miles in a couple of weeks, quite happily! Satchmo the cat is largely self-sufficient but really did appreciate a chat and a chin-tickle on a regular basis. 

In summary, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending a house-sit for Richard and Phiona as they, their home and the animal companions they have chosen to share it with are all absolutely *delightful*.  

I really look forward to being able to stay for them again in the not-too-distant future..! x

We absolutely loved looking after Pepper and Poppy in Montriond. Jonathan, Ruth and the girls are lovely lovely people and we felt really welcomed. They have a gorgeous chalet with a super comfy guest bedroom with a stunning view and balcony. The dogs are well behaved and super cute. Absolutely recommend this sit if you get a chance!

Savannah
I had such a lovely time with Ned and Effy. I miss them both already! They’re very chilled and independent. Savannah and Luke welcomed me into their home - I felt comfy and safe as a solo sitter and made the most of the sunshine in their garden, exploring Bristol and working from home with ease. Thank you for such a lovely stay!
