Shawn and Jennifer were the perfect pet sitters! We could not have wished for better people to look after Salt and Pepa! Not only were they meticulous in keeping up the cat`s routines, nurturing S&P`s idiosyncracies, and keeping them clean, fed, and happy in general, but they went above and beyond finding out what else they could want or need in a truly empathetic way. Shawn and Jen taught them new tricks, played with them often, stayed in with them most of the time and observed them and their characters so well, that it seemed after only a few days like they have known - and loved! - the cats for some time. Before we knew these sympathetic brilliant sitters with heart, brains, and instinct we were nervous about leaving our not even 2 year old cats with strangers for more than a month, especially since Salt can be a fragile soul who is very shy and needs a lot of time to bond with people if she does it at all. Not with these two people. They know how to handle cats professionally. Instead of overwhelming them, Shawn is present and offers them attention and playtime. We were able to fully enjoy our time away from home since they were communicating extremely well and in the frequency we agreed on. So we got pictures or videos of S&P every day and reports. The reports as well as the pics showed us that S&P had an extremely good time, and that after only a few days they behaved completely "normal", i.e. we recognized "our" cats from the way that Jen described them and photographed them. Shawn and Jen are both extremely reliable, down-to-earth and self-sufficient. IF there would have been an emergency, we could not have asked for better guardians. The welfare of the cats was always their first concern. What more can we say but that they are also very friendly, humorous, calm and intelligent human beings. When we came home S&P were like: "Oh.. you..? Ok.. But were are the other two?" In our living room was a carefully arranged series of printed out photographs by Jen the excellent photographer. We are so very thankful to Shawn and Jen that they agreed to look after our kitties - and our home, which they also did without fail - and we are truly happy to have made their acquaintance. Hopefully, we will meet again!

Fran
This is a 5 star sit! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fran communicated all the details in advance of the sit and was also in contact daily during the sit. Her warmth and kindness was highlighted throughout. From welcome treats to checking in during the sit that we had all we need and so much more!

Her home in Torgon is an amazing space with beautiful views of the mountains and wonderful walks and trails and a beautiful sauna in the woods. A welcome retreat from the buzz of a busy city life. With excellent WiFi for remote workers! 

But most importantly Ola is the most loving dog! She was a delight to be around. She is so friendly and is beautifully trained. She can walk for hours and loves snuggles!! Ola is so happy in the car - she just snoozes away!! She is so very easy to love and care for.

We had such a wonderful sit and I thank Fran for choosing us! I was sad to say goodbye to joyous Ola - she has left a little paw print on both of our hearts and we look forward to caring for her in the future!!

Naomi and Paul were amazing hosts and Bailey is a good boy! 
Paul and Naomi were very welcoming, picking me up from the train station and giving me a good run down on the local area and Bailey’s routine. Naomi drove me around the area so that I would know where everything was. 
Sedgeford is a lovely little village and behind the house is some good spots for dog walks around the field. I was very grateful that they let me borrow their car, it meant I could take Bailey to the beach and the woods.

Bailey was a very well behaved dog, he is very intelligent so understood exactly what he was meant to be doing and listened very well. He is also super cuddly, which meant he was great company for watching movies together, but also loved to play tug of war or fetch. He was very good with other dogs we approached at the woods and was always playing nicely.
He was the perfect mix of active and home body :) 

Overall a really good sit, and a relaxing time, and I was very sad to leave Bailey!!

Cindel
I had an unforgettable time with Fred and Salem - they were both so chilled and playful. Cindel and Mat welcomed me into their home and were only a Whatsapp message away if I needed. Their place was so relaxing with plants, music and dedicated workspaces in their apartment and around the building. I felt safe as a solo female sitter, and wouldn't hesitate to return. Even though they had to return early due to a family emergency, Cindel made sure that my next stay was organised and comfortable. Thank you so much for a special stay!

Lawrence was really easy to communciate with, has a beautiful house and two amazing cats Bella and Dottie. We fully recommend this a good base for exploring the local area, Lawrence was kind enough to provide a map with loads of tips, walks, villages, restaurants, markets etc. The house is easy to care for, super comfortable and the cats are brilliant company and loved snuggling up in front of the fire.  Lawrence provided all the info we need in case of emergecies, we had a great stay, will really miss the cats and hope to stay in touch with Lawrence in the future.
