Laura
We had the loveliest time hanging out with Toby in Meadowbank. Laura and Andy (and kids <3) immediately made us feel at home upon arrival and walked us through everything we needed to know. Toby is such a sweetheart. He was great company and so lovable. Very affectionate, smart, and easy to take care of. We had a lovely Christmas and New Year here.

The house is beautiful with everything you could possibly need. We were very comfortable. It is very well situated with public transport and nearby shops. We didn’t want for a thing :)

We also really appreciated Andy and Laura checking in with us when there was a weather warning. They were super on top of everything even on their own vacation several time zones away!

Thank you so much for hosting us! We miss you Tobes!! We would come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend.

Conker is one of the best dogs I’ve ever encountered. She’s calm, loving, quiet, and cute. She’s easy to be with and easy to walk. We had a lovely weekend together. Becca’s home is clean, comfortable and in a great location. Becca’s communications were prompt and clear. She was friendly, warm and flexible. She wanted me to have a nice weekend in Portishead and I did. Highly recommended.

Caroline
We loved the house sit. To spent time with a great dog like Sassy, enjoy the beautiful house and experience the great surrounding is truly a privilege. 

Caroline and Tony gave us a very warm welcome. They informed us about all the things we needed to know, and even had a great manual (with extra touristic information on the area) as a backup. 

Sassy is great. Had so much fun with her! Her energy, her lovely character and her care for us, so adorable. Never seen a dog who loves to swim that much. 

Tali is as Caroline mentioned: more on herself. We gave her food, and after three days she came to welcome me by rubbing my leg. 

The house is big, very beautiful, and clean. Immediately felt at home and very much loved the decorating style. They even have a swimming pool!
We loved the quietness and the privacy. Lovely little French villages, which we explored on bike. Beautiful churches and country lands. And in 9 kilometers, you have a bigger city, where you can do your grocery shopping. Great to enjoy the nice temperatures we had in October. 

Thanks Caroline and Tony for this experience.
And hopefully till next time? 

For colleague housesitters: If you ever get a change to do a house sit with Sassy, it is highly recommended!

Andrew
This was a wonderful and memorable house sit.  I really loved caring for Andrew's sweet kitties and playing with them. The home is well appointed, beautiful and in a safe, quite neighborhood, and an extremely gorgeous setting.  Sorry this review is belated (my fault) but if you are lucky enough to get the opportunity to housesit for Andrew, take it!  Highly recommended!!

Charlotte
Staying at Charlottes was an absolute pleasure!  This was my first time housesitting on the platform and it went very smooth.  The house is quiet, cozy and has plenty of shops, restaurants and cafes nearby.  The town centre is a 10 minute walk away with everything you could ever need.

Otto was so adorable!  He’s very independent and has a lively social life, he came and went as he pleased and came to hang out with me inbetween seeing his friends outside.  He was cuddly, loved to play, would always let me know when he wanted to play or cuddle and would wake me up every morning with gentle mews and cuddles.  I already miss him! 

Charlotte was amazing, very responsive and so kind!  She gave a lovely tour of the house when I arrived I really enjoyed house sitting for her and spending time in Winchester!  I highly recommend house sitting for her if you get the opportunity 😊!

Corrine
A really great sit! A lovely home within a short walk to Kingston town centre which has loads to offer. A park at the end of the road for dog walking as well as taking her with you wherever you go. Olive is an amazing dog: she is well trained, very affectionate and the centre of attention wherever you go due to her looks! 
Corrine and Simon are lovely: excellent communication before and throughout. I would thoroughly recommend this Housesit.
