Lisa and Tom were outstanding sitters! We spoke briefly before the sit and they kindly arrived in good time for us to leave on our travels and we had the opportunity to get to know them and share further details about Bellamy and our home. Communication was easy and they provided regular updates whilst we were away. Bellamy clearly loved their company and enjoyed sitting on Tom's lap in the evenings. Unfortunately, whilst we were away Lisa discovered that Bellamy had brought a few fleas into the house from the garden (he does love to hide under the cabin on dry days!) but Lisa was quickly onto it and gave him a treatment very promptly, for which we were really grateful. Having had an older cat of their own, they were fully understanding of his needs and even encouraged him out into the garden a few times for a change of scene when he was feeling especially lazy! Like many older cats he can spend 23.5 hours a day curled up asleep! We returned home to an immaculate house, the bedding was clean, there were flowers in the kitchen and a wonderful home cooked meal waiting. These were lovely surprises to receive, especially after a long journey. Lisa had also planted a few seeds for our garden, and we can't wait to see how they turn out. We would have no hesitation in recommending Lisa and Tom for other sits and would welcome them back here at any time. They are wonderfully kind, thoughtful and caring.

I truly had such a wonderful stay at Bob and Jill's! The house was absolutely wonderful, very cosy and well equipped with everything you would need. Bob and Jill are kind, thoughtful and easy going people, which made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable! Flossie is a gorgeous dog and very easy to take care of. I would highly recommend this sit to anyone else and hope to be back soon! Thank you Bob and Jill for a wonderful week.

Ahh, I loved housesitting for Shannon: Tahoe and Popcorn were absolutely gorgeous. Tahoe is a beautifully-natured and happy pup who made it very difficult to leave in the end. He makes for great company in the house (happy to chill out next to you while working but easily loved playing about or getting a good pat in) and is a very easy, sociable pup to take on walks. Popcorn is so CUTE! She was entertaining to watch, became very active for food and is super low maintenance. 

Shannon is lovely! Very easy to communicate with, provided a thorough and very handy welcome guide, and her home was an easy space to move into, low maintenance and comfortable. I'd be happy to housesit for her again and highly recommend anyone else thinking of doing so in the future 😊

Zape is a very silly and funny grandpa-dog. he was absolutely adorable, and quite easy to take care of. you just need to be strong, because if he finds food in the street, he will get it any way possible xd

the apartment is nice, andreas left some food, which was very kind of him!
the location is amazing!!! the metro is less than a minute walk. and there are lot’s of places to walk the doggo

i was doing this sit for 2 weeks or so, and i didn’t quite understand why Andreas needed me in the first place tbh, because he was around. he came by several times, and also returned a day earlier and didn’t let me know. i was working and i didn’t expect him to come back, so it really startled me. i believe he didn’t mean anything bad and probably didn’t realise but as a young female solo traveler it made me feel somewhat uncomfortable (i would just prefer to be notified). so i decided to leave, luckily i had friends i could stay with in munich for a night

Max is London’s greatest attraction- he is so sweet, friendly, funny and I could not had a nicer time whilst sitting for him!

David and Izzy’s flat is very nice and comfortable with a beautiful garden.

David and Izzy was organised and easy to communicate with. 

I honestly had the best time with Max and I feel lucky to get to know him.

Thank you all!

Very communicative, open, generous family. Beautiful home and neighborhood where anyone can feel safe walking around at, any time of day. The dogs are both very protective of house guests and keep a close lookout. Luna needs a quick introduction but that’s all it takes for her to warm up to you and become your best friend. Enjoyed my stay here, would recommend!

We spent a lovely 10 days caring for Milly who was an absolute delight to look after. We were made to feel very comfortable & welcome in Will & Mandy’s cottage. We will be delighted to sit again for them.
