Very grateful to Steve for looking after Ziggy for me after the planned sitter had to cancel one week before the sit. Communication prior to the sit was great, he arrived on time and we took Zig for a quick walk to the local park round the corner, so he could get his bearings and see Ziggy's favourite place for the morning run. Steve settled in quickly with a beer from the bar and then took Zig to the pub for some food. During the sit he always responded quickly to my messages asking how everything was going with Ziggy and also sent me a photo and a short video clip. I would've liked him to take Ziggy to the local park every morning, as i explained that's what he loves the most each day, as he meets up with his best mate since they were puppies, Griffin, and other dogs and walkers, but i think Steve preferred to do his own thing with him, which is fair enough and no harm done. Steve had just left when I got back and Ziggy was in good shape and the house clean and tidy, with bedding and towels washed and hung up to dry. I was concerned the next day to find 6 pouches of Ziggy's wet food still in the freezer and 2 more in the fridge, as it was only an 11 day sit and he almost always eats one pouch a day. Steve said that he had instead fed him a few packs of his alternative food as he didn't seem to want his usual food a few times. Although what was left of his alternative food didn't account for the discrepancy, Steve just said he wolfed down that food and he also gave him his cooked chicken as a treat and some salami. Thanks very much again Steve for all your efforts and especially for getting Ziggy more of his favourite chicken and best wishes.

Grace
We had the best Christmas staying at Grace and Rich’s. We met them briefly on arrival which was helpful and they were super relaxed and welcoming. Their boys were so kind to our little boy and the family was extremely accommodating. We were able to use all the facilities in the home which was fantastic, and very generous.

Most importantly the pets were just as lovely. Buddy is like a cuddly teddy bear, and Finn is a sweet gentle but solemn character. Buddy and Finn were easy to manage on walks and the walks are beautiful. All three cats were very relaxed; Arthur brought us numerous Christmas ‘gifts’ in the garden-this wasn’t an issue for us as we love cats and know what they’re like. Charlie was very cuddly and gentle, and Maya was out mostly.

We cannot recommend this stay enough, and thank you so much to Grace and Rich and your boys for what might well be the best ever first sit! We hope you were happy with our sit and we would 100% come back again. Thank you.

This petsit was an absolute joy. The house was in an excellent location. It is new, modern and very comfortable.  Deb was very easy to communicate with.  The real joy was Maggie.  She is such a great dog. She's sweet, playful and fun to be with. We had fun hiking and walking around the neighborhood together. She took to us immediately and was very easy to care for. We would gladly care for Maggie again if we're available.
