I struck gold with Stella – she was the most amazing sitter and truly went above and beyond. From the first time I contacted her, Stella was great with communication, I had a video call and immediately knew she could be relied upon and understood my concerns and requirements regarding my dog and cat. I liked the way she asked lots of questions & seemed genuinely interested in my animals. Stella arrived a few hours earlier so we could go on a dog walk together, where I could explain everything in more detail. I could see instantly how natural and relaxed she was with my dog - particularly as she is a young and energic lurcher! Whilst we were away Stella was excellent at communicating, we received regular updates and photos and videos of our pets, and it was obvious she bonded immediately with my dog. She was conscientious and quick to alert and follow up on any concerns, which I appreciated. I found her incredibly organised, intuitive and thoughtful – all the qualities you look for in a pet-sitter! She is clearly an animal lover - and has a particular affinity with dogs, demonstrated by the fact that she has a rescue dog at home. My cat enjoyed her company too (when he wasn’t sleeping all day :) It was such a relief and we were able to fully relax on holiday, knowing that both animals were being well taken care of. I really cannot fault her dedication. The handover was smooth and we came home to very happy animals! She made sure my dog had been on a long walk so she settled during the afternoon with treat puzzles to keep her busy. Our home was left clean and tidy – more so than when we left it! You wouldn't know anyone had been there. She’d stripped the bed and put the sheets in the washing machine and washed all the towels which was very helpful too, especially coming back after a long journey. Stella is a lovely, friendly person with a beautiful soul, and I felt completely relaxed leaving her to take care of everything. I highly recommend her and really hope she comes to sit for us again – my pets loved her. Thank you Stella!

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.
