Ken and Jane were an absolute delight! Communication could not have been better. They went out of their way despite bad weather to make it to our house in time to take care of our kitties, who were in perfect condition and happy as a clam when we got back. They respected our home and left it pristine upon leaving. We would love to have them back!

Michael and Adele are wonderful sitters and humans! They are reliable, thoughtful, easy-going, and self-sufficient. They took excellent care of our animals and home and communication was a pleasure from start to finish. During our walk thru it was clear they were animal and nature lovers and our kitties warmed to them immediately. We left on our trip feeling as if good friends were staying at our house, and after a relaxing three weeks we came home to a sparkling clean home and happy, healthy animals. They even tended, watered, and mowed parts of our unruly spring garden, which was much appreciated! I wouldn't hesitate to invite them back (and actually already did). 

Michael and Adele, we are so grateful for your kindness. Buddy, Buster, Felix, Betty, and the sheep also say thank you and hope you'll return someday!

Kasey, her home, and animals are sweet and inviting! I loved caring for Teddo and Tigger and giving and receiving lots of love. Kasey was wonderful to work with and an easy and supportive communicator as I got to know her pets. The pet care was straightforward and easygoing, and the back porch was a peaceful oasis for meals, reading, playing with the animals and lounging. I look forward to going back- especially to Teddo’s sweet and excited greeting!

We absolutely loved our stay in Anne’s gorgeous home. 

Eva was a total joy. So relaxed, very good natured, so chilled out, she hardly seemed to notice “the changing of the guard”.  She enjoys a lap, and didn’t fuss or move if I fidgeted, waved a book or iPad over her head, or even rested it on her body. 

Some homes are in locations where you get a view from certain windows.  Anne’s has the most wonderful view from the rooms that count.  Sitting in her comfy lounge chairs, we gazed upon her well tended garden and out to country fields and trees beyond.  There were birds, squirrels and wild deer to watch. It was absolute bliss. I don’t know how I talked myself into leaving the house!  We had the same view from the well, equipped, spacious kitchen. 

Anne’s clean and comfortable home, with thick plush pile carpet, is a pleasure to spend time in.  There are plenty of books to choose from on her bookshelves. Bonus! 

We timed our walk to the local Cooperative supermarket at 12 minutes.  It is very well stocked and is open until 10pm most days.  The Ripley Farm shop is unbelievably well supplied, with fresh, frozen and store cupboard products. I was amazed at the selection and have rarely seen such a good farm shop. 

We did several very satisfying rambles from the front door.  The Wey Navigation really impressed us with its variety and prettiness.  It shouldn’t be missed if you enjoy a walk in nature. There are multiple photo opportunities, especially around the various locks. 

The Guildford to Kingston hourly bus service (715) is invaluable if you are here without a car, and want to visit a bigger town.  It is generally reliable, but did let us down twice, by not turning up until an hour later. A car would be useful here, though certainly not essential. 

Due to the timing of her flight, I got to spend a night with Anne at the beginning of her trip. She is very easy to get along with, and we had great, long, interesting chats.  She is very accommodating and kind. She was very generous in providing us with numerous ideas for walking, and in lending us her maps. 

Anne’s home is a peaceful, idyllic spot, and it was a total pleasure spending time here with little Eva.  

Thank you Anne!

On a Mountain, almost at the very top, tucked into the terraced almond trees, you find the house. From the tiled terrace out front, there is almost 180 degrees of magnificent view over the Mediterranean. The other 180 degrees is of the surrounding mountains behind.  

Despite this location, it is easily accessible by regular car via a paved road.  The town and beach are approximately a 15 minute drive away. 

Behind the house, one terrace up, you find the old horse barn where the cats live and are fed once a day. 

It is clear that the owners want to make your stay as pleasant as possible and they take every consideration to ensure this.  Instructions for the running of the house and caring for the pets are given in a friendly and competent manner - as is information about the town and surrounding areas.  Pet food and supplies are provided.

It is a perfect place to stay and work!

Highly Recommended!

We had a lovely time staying with Zora for ten nights. She is sweet and easy to care for, and Becky gave us very clear instructions, especially about Zora’s hydration needs and preferences. Becky’s home is very comfortable and it’s clear she’s an experienced host, with a thorough home guide and many helpful notes about the area. We really enjoyed the peaceful winter landscape - lots of bird activity outside the window, and deer ambling through the yard. Overall a lovely experience and we’d be happy to return for another sit - especially to see the gardens in bloom!

I loved my stay at Sara's. Flossie and Blitez were also very good company. The house is beautiful in a beautiful location.

Sara communicated with me before the arrival and kept everything ready. She provided plenty of notes and information for this to do and care for pups. 

Highly recommended!

Muffy is the cutest cat! Had a great sit, getting to cuddle and play with her. Olga also has a beautiful apartment right in the middle of Bushwick near lots of bars and restaurants. Super easy to communicate with her also; had no problems during my stay.
