Maria, Kev and Buddy were absolutely great sitters - Rambo loved them and really enjoyed all the attention, walks and wonderful care they gave him. Completely reliable, lovely updates and great communication before, during and after. The house was beautifully looked after too, and all this in some of the coldest weather we have seen in a long time :) Would definitely recommend, and hope to see Maria, Kev and dear little Buddy again in the future :)
Achara and friends were great house sitters. We were able to meet Achara, Jackie and Donna on the day we left so we had some time to get to know them a little and help settle in. Our dog Gracie gave them all a good welcome and was comfortable immediately. Achara was very accommodating and happy to follow our instructions to limit walks to 30mins due to Gracie’s recent hind leg injury and despite terrible stormy weather managed to squeeze in twice daily walks. We had lovely regular updates and photos while we were away which was very reassuring. The house was super clean and tidy upon our return, the beds had all be stripped and even gone to the trouble of picking up apples in the garden and leaving us an apple crumble! Our dog Gracie seemed very happy and all was well. I would love to have Achara, daughters and friends back for future house sittings and would recommend them without hesitation.
