Diana
Excellent house sit, very clean, lovely home and two very adorable terriers. The house is situated in a very accessible area for discovering the countryside or visiting historical landmarks, parks and wild life sanctuary. Also a great market in Andover, and good local community store in nearby village. 
Diana and Tim were very welcoming and accommodating for my arrival. Everything was prepared and ready, making the house sit easy and straight forward. Communicating was also simple as Diana responded very quickly. 
Missy and Bumble are very loving dogs,  and really enjoyed their daily walks, play, cuddles and meeting people. 
I would highly recommend this sit.

Lisa
My stay at Lisa's home in Berlkely was just incredible. Lisa was truly an above-and-beyond host. She offered me a ride to/from the Bart and got many snacks, which felt extra caring and welcoming. Thank you, Lisa! Haggis is a special dog, he wasn’t warm and fuzzy at the beginning but warmed up to me after one day, and we had so much fun together. He is a bundle of joy! I loved spending days with Haggis, and I appreciated Lisa’s efforts in welcoming me into her special home.

Andrew and Lisa
I had a wonderful short stay with Andrew and Lisa in the beautiful village of Pickering.  

THE HOSTS:
Andrew and Lisa are very kind and generous people who make you feel right at home upon your arrival.  Communication was easy before, during, and after the sit.  Although there were some last minute changes to the sit, we communicated and worked through it.  A comprehensive welcome guide was shared with most information you need for the sit.  Upon arrival I was greeted and shown the daily routine to ensure I understood what was expected of me.  Andrew showed me their daily walk route and also a quick tour of Pickering with interesting stories and history lessons.  Lisa showed me their feeding routines and also cooked several meals for me before they left.  Thank you so much for the hospitality! It won't be forgotten.

THE DOGS:
Lady and Sprat are senior dogs and super sweet.  They have a simple routine and were a joy to take care of. They're very quiet and easy going and I was very surprised at how healthy and good they look for senior pups.  They're easy on the lead and when you're allowed to let them off the lead for most of the walk, they stay close to you and will follow you by your side.  They're also friendly with other dogs as well.  I will miss them and hope to see them soon.

THE HOUSE and PICKERING:
A beautiful home several hundred years old.  It's a very large home and your private room and bathroom is super comfortable with all amenities provided.   It's also very private and quiet.   Andrew and Lisa have quite the story and you can see it all around the house.  It's definitely a plus and the pictures on the site don't do it justice! It's an amazing place!

Pickering was an unexpected gem.  It's a small town with a lot to experience.  And the bonus is that all of it is within 500-800 meters from the house.  There is a castle 300 meters from the house!!  It's worth experiencing even if you're not doing a pet sit.  Make it a stop when you are exploring Northern England.  

I highly recommend this sit and if you see Andrew and Lisa's listing pop up, do yourself a favor and apply (but leave one application open for me!!!)

I hope to see you soon and give Lady and Sprat a big hug and kiss from their Texan Uncle Allen!

Best, 
Allen

What a wonderful stay in Swaffham with Bunty. She is a bundle of energy and joy. I thuroughly enjoyed my stay. Liz and Miles were so welcoming and accomodating as I don't use a car when traveling. Miles picked me up from the train station and let me shop at the grocery for everything I needed before heading home.
Their home is fantastic and settled in a quiet little village with farm land,  a 500 year old residence, a church and a pub. I found it to be the perfect arrangement and the pub was great!
I would recommend this sit for anyone wanting peace and quiet. I hope to return again and have more time with Bunty.

Stella
The sweetest fur baby trio! I would 100% sit for Stella and Matt again. They are fantastic hosts and humans. Stone, Juno, and Whiskey are so sweet, playful, and well behaved. The house is in an ideal location, great set up for WFH, and the private suite downstairs with separate entrance felt like my own private apartment. Hope to sit here again!

Pat and Sofia are both fabulous! I felt very welcome in their home (which is lovely and interesting) and Placerville is a delightful town to explore. Sofia is a sweet, mellow, beautiful kitty and appreciates face scratches, company on the porch, fresh water and an occasional play session with her cat ‘fishing poles’! You will be very happy with this sit :)!
