First off, Carys is absolutely LOVELY and so it's difficult (and uncomfortable) to write a negative review, but for us, this house sit was disappointing. We had originally advertised for a cat sitter, but our circumstances changed prior to the sit (no cat now), and instead we needed someone to be there just to water the plants. We have two well stocked courtyards of plants back and front of the house. Carys was happy to do this. The brief was to water and deadhead the plants DAILY. We returned to find the plants in the front courtyard absolutely parched. Soil completely dried out in most pots, plants limp and most of the flowers in our two window boxes dead. Nothing had been deadheaded. The front courtyard certainly hadn't been watered in a while. (The back courtyard at least had been watered, which was good). Whilst Carys had left the house relatively tidy, it hadn't been cleaned (ie: cleaning products used to wipe down the kitchen surfaces, cooker, bathroom, wash the floor, polish furniture etc). After being in the house for 3 weeks we would expect the house sitter to do a thorough clean throughout the house for our return. Not leave us to have to start doing it when we arrive back. It was disappointing. Carys is lovely and had been kind enough to leave us a note, flowers and a bottle of wine, but I feel she needs a better understanding of what taking care of a home fully entails. I'm sure this will be a learning curve for her, and our comments will be taken forward for future sits. Carys we really wish you well.

Kristy
If you love walking and exploring then Lily is your girl! She’s up for a walk anytime. She was my buddy. My constant companion. And I loved every minute. She’s gentle and polite and just a sweet sweet soul. I miss her. She slept in the room with me. I’ll admit, I did sometimes need ear plugs. But the sound of her sleeping was comforting. Kristy and Hal did everything to make sure I was familiar and comfortable. I think if we’d met we would have had a great time! I so appreciated everything Kristy did for me. And their apartment is perfect. Comfortable and right next to the walkway that takes you literally everywhere. Listening to the kids bike home after school and their chatter, the cherry trees along the way. Heaven. My whole stay was a total joy. I loved it.

Rachel and Lyman
It's people like Rachel and Lyman (and pups like Max and Hunter) who make this platform so great. Just a super experience for me from first contact to drop-off  - they communicated clearly, responded quickly, and left their beautiful home ready for a painless move-in. Max and Hunter are gems - sweet, affectionate, and super easy to care for – and very obviously well loved. I couldn't recommend more highly a sit with these four wonderful beings.

What an amazing place this is, Alastair and Alice are a lovely young couple and it was a pleasure for my hubby and I to stay in their lovely cottage over the Christmas period. The animals are so easy to look after and I really connected with the 3 geese who followed me around like I was a long lost relative. The village of Chedworth is idilic with lovely neighbours. Lovely sit, lovely people and magical feel to Well Cottage.

Joseph and Yukiko
My wife and I just wrapped up our first sit in Scotland looking after the sweetest cats Pippi and Thor. They are playful, snuggly and will get the zoomies at least once a day :D Yukki welcomed us in to her home with a nice cuppa and a chat to get to know the routine. It was such a lovely sit and we would definitely sit again! Thanks for having us Yukki and Joseph

Jeanette
Skye is such a lovely dog! She's really friendly, full of energy and love, and very well behaved. I had my own dog with me, and Skye was really good with her (they became great pals!) Jeanette and her family were very welcoming and relaxed, and Jeanette clearly explained everything I needed to know. Their family home was super comfortable, calm and quiet, and I really enjoyed my stay :)

Becky
I really enjoyed my 5 day sit here. Becky and Chris are a lovely couple and Velma is so sweet, and funny and so much fun. She's also very gentle.  We had a great time going for walks and exploring the many trails in the area. I really got attached to her. The house itself is quite nice.  Huge comfy sofa, and TV. I really liked the back yard too. I enjoyed sitting out there in the sun with Velma. I would LOVE to come here again!
