This is only our second foray into using a house sitter and because we were leaving the house for four weeks, we really wanted to get it right. Tony & Wendy have a great profile and a video chat several months beforehand reassured Lynn and I that we had made the right choice. To be honest, we underestimated just how good Tony and Wendy would be for us. Plenty of pre-planning messaging was particularly important given that Tony & Wendy were travelling from Australia, so in terms of communication they were excellent. This became a feature of our relationship whilst we were away. We adore our dog but don't want to be bombarded with daily updates. In this regard, Tony & Wendy pitched it just right, sending the occasional update and picture. Perfect. In terms of management of our house during our absence, Tony & Wendy were the very best people we could have found. Tony is very handy and practical, so I knew that he would be able to cope with any issues that arose in/on/around our property during our absence. He fixed the hen house whilst we were away and ensured we were stocked up with fuel on our return form our holiday. To add to this whole dream-team scenario, it turns out Wendy is a clean queen. The place was spotless when we returned, everything in it's place and to top it all, a lovely dinner on our return. Wendy even attacked their bedroom with a vacuum cleaner on the day of their departure for goodness sakes. Their care of our dog Otto was exemplary. He was spoilt rotten with daily walks and, truth be told, he received more attention than we would normally offer him. He was gutted when they left. Hens were fed, greenhouse plants were watered and a few tweaks added to the vegetable plot. Tony & Wendy having previously lived in France was an invaluable element of their comprehensive skill set as they understand the cultural differences between English-speaking nations and the culture of France (adorable but sometimes frustrating and a little bit weird). This was important and reassuring to us. On a social level, we really hit it off with Tony & Wendy. They are open-minded and friendly and I suspect that our friendship will endure. We were so very lucky to find such a perfect match.

Marta was a great housesitter. She took great care of our cat and sent pictures regularly to tell us how he was doing.  Also very friendly and easy to communicate with, which made us much more comfortable to leave Laddu with her. 

We would definitely want her to take care of our cat again! :)

Francine and her son Valentin house sat for me for 1 - 24 March 2022. Originally I had booked for 2 weeks but needed to extend my stay away by 10 days due to catching COVID. Francine was flexible and able to stay longer which I really appreciated. 
Francine is chatty and friendly, and quite maternal - I returned to a full fridge and happy cats. Valentin is a very nice young man in his mid-20s. 
While I was away, Francine sent me photos every day of my cats, and a little report on their behaviour for the day, which I enjoyed. Most of the photos featured the cats sitting happily on Francine’s lap, which really reassured me. 
For various reasons Francine ran out of time on the last day, so I returned to a not quite clean house, and they were not ready to leave. I did also return at 345 when I had said I would return between 4-5.  However needing to do the laundry was a minor inconvenience, given the care Francine and Valentin had given to my cats while I was away, and especially their willingness to be flexible around my extended absence.
