Staying at Alaina’s home for the past week with her precious fur baby, Tiger was lovely. Tiger is a loving cat who will take any chance he can get to snuggle up in your lap or rub up against your legs. When he’s happy you’ll know it because he loves to purr! Taking care of Tiger was pretty easy given Alaina’s clear instructions. He has a healthy appetite and makes it very clear if he doesn’t like what he’s getting. Part of caring for Tiger means doing a daily tick check, but he wasn’t fussy at all when we had to pull a few off of him. We arrived at Alaina’s home just in time to catch the changing of the seasons - the view from her house of the rolling hills and the fall foliage was breathtaking and her home was comfortable, clean, and cozy! Overall, a great stay with Tiger, a happy cat who is impossible not to fall in love with.
If you have the opportunity to sit for Henry and Murphy you would be a fool not to take it! We had the best time staying in beautiful Kew with the lovely Sonja and Brian’s fur family. Henry is one of the most calm, well behaved, and friendly dogs I have ever met, we loved all of our time spent with him. Murph was a new addition when we did the sit and he provided a lot of laughs with his strong personality and sweet nature, he is going to fit in so well. We were so kindly welcomed by Sonja and Brian and felt really supported during the stay as well - thanks again for having us :)
Michelle and Phillip are exceptional host who go above and beyond for the sitters needs during their stay. The home is an amazing location and the pets are so well behaved!
We ended up on this sit pretty spontaneously but we enjoyed every second of it. Teddy is a super kind and considerate dog. When we first entered the apartment, he immediately greeted us in a very welcoming manner. It was obvious that Teddy is a very smart boy who is often up for a play and a good old walk. Stuart was also extremely pleasant to talk to and text with. He was always happy to receive our plentiful photos and videos of Teddy and made sure to thank us whenever he could. We truly felt welcome and appreciated in this home. We can't wait to return and meet again (maybe for a Saturday's Farmer's market?) ❤️🐕
Beverly and Gerry are very open and generous hosts and we were made to feel very welcome to their amazing home. We'd previously met Frank the dog and were aware of his behaviour towards strangers but within a short time and after taking him for an initial walk with Beverly things quickly settled down. We found him to be very laid back in fact, well behaved on walks and very easy to get back on the lead when required. Batty and Yushi were easy company and equally easy to take care of. The house is stunning - such a pleasure to call it home for a few days. Woodland walks and open fields abound with plenty of walking options and easy access to shops etc. in nearby Nailsea. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and very much hope to return - very highly recommended.
Lesley and Jim are perfect hosts - extending the warmest of welcomes to their beautiful home. The pictures in their profile barely do it justice - beautiful, characterful property and grounds, spacious kitchen and family room, separate sitting room and conservatory, and very comfortable bedroom, bathroom etc. And the welcome from Lottie, Millie and Nellie was just as warm as Lesley & Jim's! Three fun dogs - all with great temperaments. They all enjoyed attention, but were also content to find their own corner to chill in when we were sitting and relaxing. The garden and grounds provide loads of space for the dogs to run - Millie is inexhaustible once she has a ball, and there is plenty of walking close by. We really enjoyed this sit - thank you L&J for sharing your home and dogs with us. We'd love to come back one day.
