Anna
This one was an amazing experience! Anna was super nice and send us the information we need to arrive.
The house is super super nice and warm and in a beautiful location, super quiet but close to everything at the same time. The cats are the best!! They are not just so beautiful, they have their own personality and they are very funny. Nonno Pesce is more shy and could be all the day sleeping in bed, but sometimes he just appears to say hi, eat a little bit and go back to sleep. Princessa is super cute, she was the first to come to say hello and she was with us all the time watching movies or sleeping at night. 
We will miss them so much! Thank you Anna for the opportunity!

Judith
We have wonderfully happy memories of our two weeks house sitting in Suffolk for Judith's menagerie. This really was the good life. In fact, the experience of pig rearing and the harvesting of bountiful fruit and veg from the garden was quite inspiring. 

First of all, the house is amazing, with tons of space and character, and is surrounded by a park-like garden plus the vege garden and sheep paddocks beyond. We had dogs, cats, pigs, lambs, sheep, and two lots of chickens to care for, plus the greenhouse and vegetable garden to keep watered, which could have been a bit daunting, but Judith talked us through it all carefully, and had prepared clear written instructions, so we soon got into the routine of it. It was also reassuring that Judith gave us contact details for local friends and family who could help out if needed. 

This house sit happened to be at the height of a heatwave, when daytime temps every day were well into the 30s and even overnight didn't drop much below 20 degrees C. Because of that, we were out walking the dogs by 7.00am each morning so we could get them home and into the shade before the heat became unbearable. For the rest of the day, Oz was happy to chill out in his kennel, coming out only if he thought a tennis ball needed retrieving (Oz really likes retrieving tennis balls). Marley was a more sociable character, and preferred to hang out with us, whether that was under the sun umbrella on the patio, in the kitchen with the Sunday papers, or in the lounge watching tv. Marley was also quite partial to retrieving tennis balls. Overall, both dogs were easy to look after, and a joy to have around. 

It was a shame that the local pub had closed down, so there was no pub within walking distance of the house, but we borrowed a couple of the family's bikes and found The Dog in Grundesburgh was well within cycling distance and did a very good pint and a very good Sunday roast. Further afield, we enjoyed exploring (by car) the Suffolk coast, the Saxon remains at Sutton Hoo, the museum at HMS Ganges, the local town of Woodbridge, and having fish and chips on the seafront at Felixstowe.

And, I mustn't forget to say that Judith and her family are intelligent, thoughtful and generous, and made us very welcome. 

I would highly recommend this house sit.

Pamela me
Thank you Pamela for entrusting your home and baby Sammie with me. What a beautiful home you have, and the surrounding places to explore, shop, and eat; were all very close. I enjoyed the location. 
Sammie and I enjoyed our walks, talks, and short trips along the way. Beautiful home and beautiful landscaping, and we spent lots of time outdoors. 
Sammie is a snuggle-bug, so we truly enjoyed each other. He loves to play fetch, and run about. Our favorite snacks were carrots. 
I would certainly care for Sammie again. A spoiled brat indeed. Every fur baby should have it this good. Again, thank you Pamela. Namaste.

Sarah and Mark
Right from the beginning Sarah and Mark were such lovely friendly hosts. We felt armed with all the information we needed and they responded quickly when we had questions while they were away. We were lucky to stay in their cottage right near the ocean. Just a very short walk to the promenade, the shops and a variety of pubs and cafes.

Their dog Jasper is so lovely. A big goofy labradoodle who was always making us laugh but also so very well trained. He was an absolute joy to look after and such great company, especially on our walks. Bonnie and Clyde were the sweet budgies that we also cared for. Such happy little characters and very easy to care for. We also had the pleasure of spending some time with Splodge the rat in his final days. The beautiful little guy was elderly and didn't make it through the sit unfortunately. It was very sad but we hope we were able to bring him some comfort to the end.

Newbiggin-by-the-Sea is a really lovely town that has everything you need. The people we met were all so friendly. If you do need to go further afield and don't have a car there is a bus stop very close by and regular buses. The walks from the doorstep are great. Lots of choices of places to explore. We even managed to see the Northern lights while we were here which was such a thrill. We would definitely come back and do this sit again if we were available and highly recommend it to others.

Lisa
A wonderful sit with an adorable cats. Location was ideal, and walking distance to lots of shops, supermarket, cafes, bakeries and anything you might need. There is so much to explore in the area, ancient temples to modern malls. Lisa is kind, caring and thoughtful. Being super organized, she left clear instructions which made the sit very easy. Delightful condo sit with a spectacular view of Tokyo Towers and a very sweet docile cat. Thank you Lisa. Best wishes!

I was welcomed into the pack by the dogs and the humans, and couldn't have felt more at home. The bed was so comfortable, the fridge was stocked, and the neighborhood felt safe. The dogs have very different personalities, but they are all so loving in their own ways. Being somewhat knowledgeable and/or comfortable with handling larger dogs or the breed could be helpful. 

I miss these pups already and would absolutely return.
