We really got lucky when we accepted Lauren after a relatively short video call. We met her after that (and before the sit started) when she made an effort to overnight our area so we could all get to know one another. She communicated extremely well, was warm yet professional, cared deeply and genuinely about our doggie (and about us!), and was a huge help and resource to a family that came to stay in our other home from overseas. It was their first time in S. Africa, and she did so much to welcome them, help them settle in, trouble shoot things in the home-- as well as in their travels. Lauren spent an additional 2 nights-- the first when we did not make it home on time due to flight cancellation, and the next when we finally got home, but it became too late to be on the road. These were ongoing last minute changes (more than one) and Lauren took it all in stride. Lauren also communicated health concerns to us about our dog, took her to the vet when she had a troublesome wound, and made sure she could comfortable get up and down the stairs with her arthritis. On walks, the stiffness is forgotten, and Lauren kept up so well on free range beach runs. She did not hesitate to take our doggie along to the cafe and to social events, and even got her some luxury birthday treats. We have other sits coming up, arranged before we met Lauren, and I can only hope they go so well. If not, I feel reassured that a back-up might be close by. Huge thanks to Lauren

Jaydee and Reino, a delightful couple from South Africa, spent their summer in the UK and graciously offered to care for our home and two beloved Spaniels, Dash and Riley, for two weeks. From our very first video call interview, it was clear that they were the perfect choice for looking after our home and pets, and they absolutely proved us right! Reino and Jaydee arrived the night before our departure and took the time to familiarise themselves with the welcome pack. We spent an evening in the garden, sharing a meal and celebrating my daughter's 11th birthday, which made us feel we had known them for a long time. We were confident in leaving our pets and home in their care. Throughout our time away, they maintained excellent communication by sending regular updates and photos, which we appreciated. They took great care of the house and watered the garden. We were pleased to see the beautifully mown lawn - a task Reino took the initiative to do, and Jaydee kindly dead-headed all my summer annuals, ensuring prolonged flowering into the autumn. Their dedication to our home and pets was truly commendable. Upon our return, we were greeted with a spotless house and clean linen on the bed, just as we had left it. Their meticulous attention to detail was evident in every corner of our home, leaving us feeling reassured and satisfied. We wholeheartedly recommend Reino and Jaydee for their exceptional care for our pets and home.

Russell and Ibi arrived the night before we left which gave us time to get to know this fun couple a little bit before  bombarding them with 'instructions' and introducing them to our home and our sweetheart Tenzing.   Both Russell and Ibi took everything in their stride and immediately 'connected' with Tenzing.  Russell kept in touch throughout the sit, sending many pictures of Tenzing (not easy as he's always so desperate to get fed and get outside to commence 'perimeter checks'!) and our flowering garden, which was very special since we missed all the bulbs coming up this spring!  Russell and Ibi were also very flexible with the sit and helped us out further by staying some extra days at the end of the sit, for which we were obviously very grateful.  They were both friendly, helpful and very trustworthy pet and house sitters.  Thank you Russell and Ibi, and best wishes for your future adventures.
