Jack has been an absolute dream as a (repeat) housesitter, this time taking care of our home for about ten days. From the moment we left, we knew everything was in the best possible hands. Jack was incredibly attentive to all the needs of our home, plants, and animals, and his dedication showed in every detail. One of the standout things this time around was how well he took care of our garden. We had recently planted a few new things, including a pumpkin patch, and Jack watered everything with such care. It’s clear he has a green thumb, as everything was thriving when we got back. Jack kept the garden in great shape—especially our nascent pumpkin patch. It's not easy keeping up with new plantings, but Jack did an incredible job. He was also flexible when our travel plans were disrupted. When our flights got delayed and rescheduled, Jack didn’t hesitate to adjust to our return schedule. He graciously extended his stay, ensuring that everything at home continued running smoothly until we got back. His flexibility was such a relief during a stressful time, and we’re so grateful for that. On top of all that, the house was immaculate when we returned. Jack left everything in perfect condition, even better than we left it! He went above and beyond, leaving us a thoughtful gift of pumpkin spice coffee, which was such a warm welcome home. Our chickens grew a lot under his care, and both Ollie, our dog, and Belle, our cat, absolutely adore him. They were happy and content when we got home, which speaks volumes about the love and attention Jack gives them. It's clear that Ollie and Belle feel safe and comfortable with him. Jack's regular check-ins were great, giving us peace of mind, but he’s also incredibly self-sufficient, which meant we could truly relax while we were away. We honestly couldn’t ask for a better housesitter, and we feel so lucky to have Jack looking after everything when we're away. We’ll absolutely be having him back and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and thoughtful housesitter.

Addie is one of the best dogs you can dog sit! She’s a warmer upper but once she trust you she’s so adorable and sweet! She can even be off leash and loves to play! Very easy and lovely house!!! I miss her dearly!!

Sue
Sue and Adrian are lovely people with a beautiful, comfortable, spacious home - you could not ask for a better sit!  We fell in love with Jasper - he is a sweet, affectionate boy.  He watched all our favorite holiday films with us (great tv & internet)!  The spectacular kitchen has everything you need.  As full-time housesitters, we fully appreciate having ample space in closets, pantry, shower area, etc.  This sit gave us plenty of room to be comfortable and organized.  There are many scenic public footpaths in the surrounding area to explore, great pubs, shops, restaurants within short driving distance.  Highly recommend this sit, and would do it again (and again) when schedules permit.

Jane
It was an absolute pleasure sitting for Dottie & Squeak. Both were so well behaved! Jane lives in a really lovely area with great walks and lots of space to relax. Her home is also really lovely and everything went super smoothly!

Cate
This sit was super fun and Cate and her crew are amazing.  The pack is sweet, loving adorable and very funny.  You’ll be entertained the whole time and always have a smiling, furry friend by your side.  Walking with five dogs was a first for me.  I recommend bringing a leash for Sol as he gets obsessed with a rock pile or bush and needs guidance.  The other dogs know their land well and might tromp off for while but always came back.  Also, Sol loves coffee-so don’t set your coffee cup down! The home and land are beautiful and being there was relaxing and peaceful.  I’d return in heartbeat to sit for Cate and the crew.  Thanks again for such a special visit!

Alice
I thoroughly enjoyed looking after Alices home with her cute cats and lovely hamster. The home is beautiful, warm and spacious. I really appreciated the comfort of the bedroom, the lovely thick carpets under my feet and how relaxed I felt in the home. 
The cats accepted me and I loved seeing them play together and snuggle up together but also have such independent personalities.
Communication with Alice was very easy right from the start. She was friendly and welcoming and answered my questions very quickly so that I was completely reassured and knew everything about the home.
I did not have a car but I explored the area on foot, the transport links are excellent and there is lots to see and do around Chatham and getting to London is so easy.
