I would highly recommend Tami, and welcome her back to take care of Oscar and Sylvia any time. She stayed in regular contact, sent photos, and took good care of the cats, including taking Oscar out for walks. I came home to fresh sheets on the bed, a clean apartment, watered plants and two content felines. Thanks again.
We don't want to tell anyone about this HouseSit - its our secret! We had a fabulous time in Kate's beautiful Suffolk home. We spent most of our time on long walks exploring the Shotley peninsular with their gorgeous cocker-poo Tiggy who is so well behaved, funny & loving. The chickens were easy to look after too , each having their own character and providing us with a healthy breakfast everyday. There was a lovely calmness about Holbrook, something we are now missing being back in Brighton!
The only thing I didn't like about this sit was having to leave Callie and Lily. Sweetest dogs ever! Callie is the mellower of the two and graciously accepts Lily's energy and desire to play. Lily is just plain happy all the time. Greets you with a "smile" every morning. Mary's home is adorable and very walkable to the Fulton pier and many fine restaurants. Mary was so gracious and kind. It was my birthday, and she made the day special for me. I look forward to another sit for her and her pups.
Loved spending time with Nani Bear and Cooter. They are both so sweet, entertaining personalities. Lisa was a great communicator and the neighborhood is a safe, accessible area. House was clean and cute, would definitely sit again!
We had a wonderful time looking after Sue and Alan's house and menagerie while they traveled. The house is located just a few blocks from Exmouth Town Center with groceries, restaurants and pubs, a park, the train station and beach. We didn't have a car, so having everything within walking distance was ideal. The house is cozy and well-appointed, with a lot of character and beautiful views of the estuary and gardens from both the sitter's bedroom and the office I used for my part-time remote job. The pets are awesome. Harry is a content gentleman of a certain age who is in incredible health for that age. He found a ball abandoned on the beach early in our sit and kept it for the rest of our visit. He loves being brushed and is very good natured with his little sister. Rosie is full of young, adolescent dog energy and loves chasing balls on the beach for as long as you'll throw them for her. She has a terrycloth drying towel that zips up like a bag that she "wears" and naps after her romps. The kitties all have their own unique personalities and enjoy affection and cuddles. They are inside/outside kitties so no litterbox duties were involved. We got out a few days on adventures - walking to Sandy Bay along the Jurassic Coast, up to Lympstone and taking the train to Exeter for an excellent free walking tour. Sue and Alan gave us good instructions before leaving for their trip and were reachable when we had questions while traveling. Overall, this was an ideal sit we'd recommend so long as you're comfortable with multi-pet households. Thanks for having us, Sue and Alan!
It was such a pleasure to meet Buddie and the family. Words cannot describe enough how well behaved, fun and sweet Buddie is. Buddie quickly warmed up to me as we did long walks throughout the day. He slept whenever I was working and, at night he was always so attentive and a pure joy to be around. May I add, Buddie has the prettiest eyes I've ever seen!! The home is beautiful and so is the scenary. This is definitely a house sit worth doing if you have the opportunity to... Thanks again for the opportunity Carrie! Hope to house sit and see Buddie again really soon. Cheers xx
Phoebe and Henry are a lovely couple and kindly cooked us dinner on arrival. They have a beautiful home where we felt welcomed. Ghillie is a big softie and we really enjoyed our time with him. He is amazing off the lead, great with other dogs/humans and they have great areas next to their house for long walks. We also took him to a pub for lunch and he was good as gold! On the lead, he can be quite pully at times, particularly near cats & birds. Overall we really enjoyed our stay, Ghillie is a lovely excitable pup that we hope to see again in future, we'll miss him!
