Sheri took great care of our Marx and our home. Everything was perfect when we returned. We also had the chance to meet Sheri's husband and their dog, Hanson, who was very cute. They are an incredible family and we were very happy to meet them.

It was such a treat hosting Lindsey! She was communicative, easygoing, and such an incredible petsitter to our Lexi. She sent lots of photos and was super responsive and respectful. Our place was immaculate when we got home. We would definitely host Lindsey again!

Mike and Kim are the sweetest couple and Alex and Annie are just as sweet.   Their home is amazing, great location close to downtown Black Mountain with all kinds of great restaurants, shopping and breweries.    The kitchen has everything you need to make fabulous meals, and the hot tub on the deck was great for evening relaxing.   Alex and Annie are very calm dogs, except when a stranger comes to the front door, but that's just them guarding the home.  I would absolutely recommend this sit to anyone, you will not be disappointed!!!

Stephen
Francois is a very easy going cat, he instantly welcomed us and really seems to love human contact.  Frequently throughout the day he would seek us out, either inside or out, to get a little cuddle or play time then resume he’d his adventures.   He is very entertaining when in a playful mood but also very happy to spend time on laps gently purring.  

Stephen’s home is beautiful and is in a great setting for hiking or just relaxing.  Stephen made us feel very comfortable and communication before and during the sit was easy.  Healdsburg, a few minutes drive away, not only is full of wineries and restaurants but also has a summertime “Tuesday Concert in the Square”  from 6 to 8pm - a delightful way to spend an evening.  Steps up the road from Stephen’s home is the trail-head for an energetic hike (1.5 miles each way, the trail has an average 9% grade with some sections a 27% climb/descent) to the top of Fitch Mountain with it’s great views, also with several seating areas it’s a beautiful spot to take a lunch picnic.  

This was a wonderful few days with Francois and we would love the chance to care for him again.

Siobhan & Matt gave me such a warm welcome and I really felt like I was “home away from home”. We met the day before the sit so I could be introduced to Ruby & Georgie as well as receiving all instructions for a smooth stay. The flat itself is stunning and the location perfect, with many local shops, restaurants and sights to see close by.  Ruby is the sweetest and we had our routine of morning coffee & cuddles & evening snuggles on the sofa. She is a little lady who (once she is comfortable with you) has a loud voice when she wants treats or attention. Georgie is a lovable cheeky chap who loves attention, chatting and being near you or on you whenever possible! I was never lonely with Georgie. I had a wonderful stay and couldn’t have asked for more from the family.
Thank you again for trusting me with your kitties and your beautiful home.
I would go back anytime!

Nicky and John are both wonderful humans. They were always readily available with prompt communication whenever questions/concerns arose, and made us feel truly welcome in their beautiful, comfortable home. We were lucky to enjoy the apples and veggies in the garden, which was a treat! 

Layla and Sierra absolutely won our hearts over. They made us laugh on the daily with their funny antics, and were so sweet to cuddle with on the couch. We already miss them very much! The sit involved some problem solving as Sierra had a food allergy complication, but the support from Nicky and John made it all manageable. 

We would highly recommend this sit, with a few things in mind -- Since Layla is reactive toward other dogs, it is important to be vigilant and strong to keep her restrained. We never interpreted her activation as aggression, moreso over excitement, but she does need to be held back and dogs should be avoided. If possible, having access to a car makes the more natural areas, which are very worth seeing, accessible. Very grateful for the weeks we got to enjoy with Sierra and Layla! 😊

A lovely week with Coco in Gloucestershire. As we live in the area, we met everyone prior to the booking and we immediately knew it would be a great petsit. Melanie and Miles are super friendly and welcoming. The Welcome Guide is thorough and very helpful. Additional information supplied on arrival. Communication before and during the sit was great. 

Coco is a petite, sweet -natured, placid girl. We bonded straight away! Whilst most of her time is usually spent playing in the garden, we took her to many new environments and on new walks, for her own little holiday ;)

Coco was relaxed during the night on the bed, in our car, at our house, at the pub, and cafe. She is happy with late sleeps ;) She loves to sit on laps when out and about. Coco snoozed on the sofa when back at home and loved to cuddle. Her meal routine is easy to follow. She has lots of toys and enrichment activities. A little nervous of loud noise,  strange, larger dogs, she was relaxed with our friend's dogs, both large and small. Coco is energetic on the lead. We did not let her off the lead  as we were told her recall is not 100%. It is also important to keep her safe within the grounds - to be vigilant that the entrance gates are closed at all times, before letting her outside.

Melanie's beautiful country  home is modern, newly renovated, clean and tidy. Very spacious home, lovely patio and gardens to enjoy. Sitters have double guest room, ensuite with garden &  scenic view. All linens and towels provided.  Efficient external Security, including easy to use, house alarm. The location is close to M4/M5 motorway links. A Village pub 5 minutes walk and other country pubs a short drive away.  Country walks are a 10 minute drive. 

Highly recommended for a lovely stay with a super sweet pup.

Very Happy to return/look after her again!

Andrea and John were absolutely lovely and welcomed us to their gorgeous home. Gordon is amazing, you wouldn't believe he's 13. He loves nothing more than cuddling up on the sofa. Only 25 minutes into liverpool cehtre on the train and 15 minutes walk to the beach.
Would definitely recommend this sit.
