Pet Sitters in Poundstock

Jane & Ian

Fantastic sitters who I would highly recommend. The house was left in beautiful condition and most importantly our elderly dog was wonderfully looked after while we were away.

Hugo

Hugo and kate were the perfect sitters.

Andrew

Jane and Andy were excellent. Our baby, Cloud, absolutely loved them. It was very unfortunate that both Jane and Andy were sick while they were housesitting, which meant that they spent a lot of time at home, but as far as Cloud was concerned, he had care and attention 24 hours a day. I wish Jane and Andy good health and would welcome them back into our home anytime.

Fay

Fabulous Fay! We needed to find a sitter who was willing to do 2 sits for us, with only 2 weeks in between. The first sit would be for our 9 year old labrador cross, our daughter's 11 month old retreiver, 4 goats, chickens and a duck....A big ask! As soon as we chatted to Fay on a what's app call, we knew she would be perfect. Unfortunately our dog Molly was diagnosed with bone cancer not long before our holiday, Fay took all our anxieties in her stride and assured us that Molly would be well looked after and that she had no problems administering Molly's daily painkillers. We also have a chicken with a nasty infection on her leg and Fay was perfectly happy to catch her each day and treat it with antiseptic . Whilst away, we received daily updates and photos of the dogs, who certainly didn't look as if they were missing us! Fay had to leave for another sit an hour before we arrived home (this had been agreed in advance ) we exchanged our hand over on whats app and on our arrival, we found the house to be immaculate and all the animals well looked after and happy. We are looking forward to Fay's return in 2 weeks for her 2nd sit and would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

Julie & Peter

This was the second time we have had Julie and Pete to look after our dogs, and as before they were great. We came home to happy animals, an immaculate house and everything in order. We would not hesitate to recommend them and will be trying to persuade them to come to us again in the future!

Traci & Richard

Traci and Richard were wonderful house sitters. They are a warm and very friendly couple and we quickly felt very comfortable leaving our home and pets in their care. From the photos we received it is very clear that they interacted fully with our two dogs and cat. All three were very happy and very well cared for. Traci and Richard were very self-sufficient and independent. They left our home exactly as they found it and were very respectful of it. We would absolutely love to have them sit for us again.

Tim

As soon as Tim and Ruth arrived we knew that our dogs were going to have a great time! And they most certainly did - updates throughout the week were a joy to read - dogs were number one priority and were kept busy and happy. We returned home to happy dogs and a spotless house - we do hope Tim and Ruth will return some time but get the feeling they will become very popular! Thank you so much to both of you.

Sophia & Matthew

OMG if we could give 10 Stars we would, we cannot praise Matthew and Sophia enough, they were AMAZING. They are fantastic and we will always be in their debt for caring for our gorgeous boy Carlos until his end 💙 but even putting that to the side they went over and above in every way whilst caring for our home and Lassie which even involved servicing our car! A gorgeous caring couple who you will be very lucky to have in your home and caring for your pets. Pups their dog was a god send when we lost Carlos and kept Lassie great company, she’s gorgeous too. I hope we will see them very soon!

Kirsty

Kirsty was a brilliant house sitter and Eric had a lovely weekend. I really hope she can come again!

Rupert & Julianne

Rupert and Julianne were amazing. They were great at communicating and easy to work with to set up the sit. The pets loved them, and Dex benefitted from many walks in the park. We got lots of pictures - and could see they were thriving! Arriving back last night, the place looked great. The animals were happy, and all the plants were watered! Best of all, they took advantage of this area - they found the best hikes, and they used our kayaks out in the Indian River, and the Sound. They were amazing.

George

George was brilliant at looking after Maggie and the house and garden. He dealt with Miele as our hob broke just before we left and had to survive without one for the whole sit. We felt completely comfortable leaving him to organise this. He mowed the lawn and had no problems when our neighbour came to cut the hedge. He sent some photos of Maggie during our holiday and kept us informed of developments with the hob/Miele. We would happily recommend George and would definitely invite him back for another sit. Thank you George!

Julie & Tony

Julie and Tony were brilliant as the sit was a bit short notice. They live fairly local so looked in the day before to go through things. Everything went well and the were very efficient, the cats were very happy when we got home, highly recommended thank you both.

Leighe

This is a huge five stars sit! 
Leighe and John are the warmest and most generous host you can ever dream to meet. They made me feel at home from day one. Communication with them was fluid and easy from the very start. 
Ernie and Bert are just gorgeous cats and  were both great fun to be around. 
The house is nicely decorated, with a beautiful energy, comfortable and with easy access to central Bedford. 
I highly recommend this sit!

Elizabeth

I had a lovely stay here looking after Treacle and Brora, and their lovely owners Elizabeth and Compton were very helpful and generous. They picked me up from the train station and had plenty of food and supplies in the house that I could use which was very kind of them. The house was also lovely and had beautiful fields and woods to walk the dogs through which I really enjoyed. I would definitely come back here if ever given the opportunity.

Catherine

Catherine & Bob's home is nestled away in a secluded surburban paradise. It's warm and comfie. From the start, we felt so welcome. Hairy is a great living companion. Affectionate and loyal. Our hosts were generous to our needs. A great stay. Highly recommended.

Jaimie-Leigh

Great pets and fabulous views in a modern home close to the city but far enough to feel peace and calm.  Couldn’t ask for much more.   Thank you for trusting me with your sit.

Beth

This was a great pet sit! Beth was a terrific hostess and very warm and welcoming. Tori was the sweetest pup ever and just wanted to be beside me all day long. The house and location are amazing.  Thanks for letting me care for Tori.

Amy

Waffles is so sweet, and Amy and Guy are communicative and wonderful people to sit for! I'm looking forward to housesitting for them again in the future!
