Ritika
Sid and Maya were well behaved although would keep to themselves for most of the sit. There were play sessions everyday with Maya, she’s always up for it. Sid likes his space but likes to play too. Ritika is a wonderful pet parent and was fabulous in communicating and being helpful every step of the way. She gave me a warm welcome to her home and helpful information about the neighborhood.

Lori
Lori and Chris felt like old friends the moment we met them.   They were kind and thoughtful, prepared dinner for us the night before their trip, and even fixed one of our bikes!  Iris and Turtle Dove were quick to warm up to us.  They are very independent but also very sweet and affectionate.  The house is cozy and ideally located close to everything Jackson has to offer.  We enjoyed everything about our stay and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Laurie
Laurie is a generous and kind person who we were so happy to get to meet! Luce and Pantheon are sweet kitties that warmed up to us right away (we miss them!). The house is a fantastic ancient tower in a charming village close to lots of amazing places. Thanks for everything, Laurie! We’d love to come back!

We had a great time at Ticehurst, such a lovely part of the world. Jennifer and John made us very welcome with excellent communication throughout. They have a wonderful home, and it is just a stroll away from the village.
Tazzie the beagle is an absolute delight. She travels well in the car and we had some great adventures with her. We really love the coast, which is an easy drive away, and Tazzie loves it too! She's a typical beagle and is food orientated, so it's a great tool for recall. We saw the cat a few times, but the food bowl was refilled daily so we knew he was okay.
We really hope we get the opportunity to help out again.
