First I'd like to say thank you to Iris for coming through for us at the last minute. I don't usually write very long reviews, but she deserves the praise as it was thanks to her that we were able to enjoy our vacation which turned out to be fantastic. We had many ups and downs with finding a reliable sitter as we had a sick, elderly cat that needed extra loving care that discouraged some sitters that were initially interested in sitting for us. Iris was not fased one bit and didn't hesitate to accept the challenge. We immediately felt comfortable with her as she is open and communicative and very friendly. We especially appreciated how reliable and trustworthy she was as she quickly organized her trip and always replied to messages immediately. This, for us, was a major plus. She also arrived two days before we left, as requested, so we could get her acquainted with the animals and the duties, and she rented a car to have more freedom to get around town. She continued to send us daily updates, photos and videos during the entire sit, and treated her pet and home duties with utmost care and respect. Some of the challenges she faced: One of our cats was bitten by another one of our cats so she sent us regular updates to let us know how he was progressing, giving him antibiotics twice a day and showing him extra care by spending more time with him and making sure he had plenty of food to help him heal. She was even ready to take him to the vet if necessary. She also made sure our 20 year old cat, Jojo, received her daily medicine and patiently satisfied her food whims and caprices. Our youngest cat, Stellina, got stuck in a tree one day after being chased by the neighbor's dogs so after the neighbor contacted me, I contacted Iris and told her how to help Stellina get down from the tree and back home. She followed the directions and Stellina returned soon after. She also had to deal with a couple of stormy, rainy days which can unexpectedly alter the daily sit duties, but thankfully, there were more sunny days on the way. Iris' compassion and sensitivity are admirable and our cat Yogi healed by the time we got home. All the other cats warmed up to her immediately. She also took great care of our donkeys. Not much to be said about that as I do believe all went perfectly well. Iris was respectful of the house rules and we returned to a clean and tidy house. She adapted quickly and we became friendly instantly. We took her out for pizza before we left, and she prepared us a lovely, homemade treat when we returned. It was therefore, easy to let her stay a couple of extra nights with us after we returned from our trip. Iris is a stellar petsitter who will go the extra mile to make sure everything is done correctly. Having her sit for us was definitely worth all the ups and downs we went through to find her. I would definitely recommend her to other homeowners and of course, I'd love to have her sit for us again!

Amanda is astonishing. The animals, my two cats and adorabe dog, were clearly very well taken care of/.
Plus, the house was so well taken care of. She was so conscientous, she sent me updates with photos.
I cannot say enough good things.

Kye was communicative, friendly, and so easy to work with. He took great care of our 3 pets, and when we came home I think our home was even neater than we left it! 10/10 sitter. Thanks Kye!

Rebecca did a stellar job taking care of our Golden Retriever, Piper. She was communicative, responsive and reliable in all aspects of our “sit” relationship. Piper had a minor mishap during the “sit” and Rebecca handled it very nicely. We returned from a week away to find Piper happy and comfortable. We’d be pleased to invite Rebecca to take care of Piper again.

We had such a wonderful time looking after the hens and beautiful home. John and Ali were incredibly kind and welcoming. Very easy to communicate with and have a wonderful outlook and attitude to life. All the instructions were very clear on what to do and we felt comfortable to get in touch whilst they were away in case of any questions.
The area is lovely, and despite the wet and windy weather we had during our stay, there was plenty to explore up on the Ridgeway. We found two excellent apple trees nearby and ate plenty of delicious eggs from the hens. 
The nearby town has a zero waste shop for many supplies and several organic farm shops. Even a fresh milk vending machine for local 24/7 milk within a 10 minute cycle from the house!
The house and garden were a pleasure to care for, we especially loved cooking on the Aga and working outside when the weather allowed it at the start of our stay. 
We would not hesitate on staying again and hope that future dates align with our plans so that we have the pleasure of seeing John and Ali again and can help with their home and hens.
