Hannah was top notch! Where do I begin? I’ll begin with the fact that she jumped into caregiver mode when our cat swallowed a huge piece of grass and had to go to pet emergency for surgery. 😮‍💨 Hannah was amazing! So caring and responsive. She called the veterinarian and ultimately the pet hospital, consulting and keeping us in the loop the whole time! She ended up spending a good 24 hours dealing with this emergency and kitty was ok. After this we consulted on ways to prevent this from happening again and decided to try to keep him inside. Hannah showed a tremendous amount of patience as she put up with him howling to go out continuously. She made efforts to ease this transition by buying fancy toys to try to distract and keep him entertained. In the end we decided to let him out for short periods of time to satisfy his need for exploration and exercise. Hannah never did anything w/o communicating with us and she was kind and patient throughout! She developed a close bond with our cat, and after this unfortunate crisis, things settled down and she was able to enjoy nightly cuddles with the cat. In addition, Hannah cared for all of our outdoor and indoor plants, took in mail, took out garbage and even mailed a few things for us! I highly recommend Hannah for any future house/pet sitting! She is responsible, easy going, flexible and trustworthy!!

Matt & Rebekah went the extra mile in caring for our newly adopted dog, Hank. When they first scheduled the sit, we had an older, well trained dog, Indy. However, we sadly lost our beloved Indy a little over two months before they were to arrive. We began fostering Hank, a young, minimally trained, higher energy dog who was not crate trained. When informed of this change, Matt and Rebekah chose to take on the challenge. It was indeed a challenge! They cared for Hank, did an excellent job of monitoring him, and even met several times with our dog trainer to continue Hank's education. They kept in touch with us with photos and updates on his shenanigans. Since Hank was not fully crate trained, we did arrange for a friend to come give them a few breaks so that they could enjoy outings together.  After nearly a month of travel, we came home to a neat house, a wonderful home cooked meal, and a well cared for dog. We recommend them highly and would not hesitate to have them sit for us again so they can experience the difference Hank's maturity coupled with continued good training can accomplish.

I really enjoyed looking after Dexter, Fiona's handsome ten-year-old Labradoodle. He is my perfect dog.  He’s easygoing, gentle and non-demanding.  He immediately adapted to my presence, enjoyed being with me and slept on the floor in my room. I felt accepted and trusted for such was his loving nature.  

We went for long walks every day.  There were lots of local walks.  He was a dream dog on the lead and never pulled against me.  He was good off the lead too and stayed close. I frequently checked to see where he was, and would usually find him trotting along at my heels as if on the lead.  He came when I called and loved his reward treats. He was friendly but sensitive and didn't intrude uninvited into the personal space of other dogs or people. He enjoyed retrieving balls. I loved how he always looked at me and responded immediately to my voice.  He was either well trained or a very intune-to-his-mistress dog. Dexter made me look like a dog whisperer.

Fiona was an amazing host.  Her home was spacious and tastefully decorated. It was warm, clean and well organised with everything I could need. The wifi worked well.  Communication was excellent before and during my stay. Fiona provided some written information which was very useful. She kindly picked me up from the train station when I arrived. Before she left they made sure I understood and was confident with Dexter's routine and the house.  Fiona was very generous, cooking me a gourmet dinner on the first night, buying me food and inviting me to eat whatever I wanted. Fiona provided food for me, despite knowing that this wasn't necessary.  She was such an interesting and kind person and I was sorry that we didn't have more time together. 

I loved Edinburgh. I caught the bus into town for several days and enjoyed seeing the sites but there were so many more to see that I didn't have time for.

I would highly recommend this house-sit to others and would love to look after Dexter  again
