I would like to be selfish and send a 'so and so' review about Dina and Karimah, so to be sure they will always be available for new sits at mine, but that would be unfair for them as well ;). They were/are really my best sitters so far and my experience with them has been amazing since minute zero. They have been great, very patient from the inception (accepting to read and go through my long guide/document of recommendations and guidance, handling the cats beautifully, caring for them beyond measure), taking extreme care of the flat (left sincerely spotless) and the plants (added task), plus took really care of maintenance/usage of all the house appliances, which rarely happens. Totally reliable, trustworthy, kind, empathetic and honest most of all (they didn't empty my food cabinet - like others did -, they didn't take souvenirs - like others did) and they took care that on my return my bed was made and everything was cleaned, washed and dried (even if wasn't required of them), and they left me food and many presents. Sitting here and for my needy boys is a lot of work, and they did everything I asked. I was lucky to have an overlap with them before and after my trip and I felt truly safe leaving my boys with them. Parachichi and Busu loved them as they have been cuddled and adored, D&K dedicated true quality time to them (working from home helped) and especially Busu went far and beyond his usual display of distrust towards humans and showed trust and affection towards Dina in a way he never did. I was very lucky to have them sitting at my place, and I made a great choice selecting them, and following my gut instinct. I really hope they will be back and share more time with my boys in the future (hopefully soon). thanks again D&K <3 from my heart.

It was a joy to have Lucy, James and Nellie look after River and our home for a week whilst we were out of the country. Prior to the stay, they made time to meet in person nearby to ensure that River and their lovely dog Nellie got along well and any questions could be addressed. Throughout this time, they were friendly and communicative, making it very easy to learn more about them, the stay they wanted, and their past experiences house and dog-sitting. Before our departure, James came round to collect the keys and receive a tour of the house. They both asked a lot of good questions about how to best care for River and how to behave when out and about - demonstrating their love of dogs and their care to us as owners. Whilst on holiday, we received regular updates on both River and our home and Zoe and I felt continually assured that we were in good hands. Before we returned home, James and Lucy went out of their way to ensure our home was immaculately cleaned, with the fridge and cupboards cleared of any of their food, bins taken out, house vacuumed and sheets changed and washed. They truly went above and beyond to leave our home spotless! James then dropped River off - she was very sad to see the three of them go; a clear sign of the bond that they formed over the week. We have no hesitation when recommending the three of them - your pets and home will be well looked after by a lovely couple and Nellie is great company for any dog!

Mel & Kelly have cared for our house, our cat (Willow), & us many times, always with real love.  They go beyond what we should expect, sending frequent videos to reassure us about Willow and even leaving us baked goods to enjoy upon our return home.  They are the best!

Andrea was such a wonderful choice for the care of my home and animals. From our very first conversation until after I returned home she was extremely pleasant, kind, easy to communicate with and sweet. I returned home to an extremely clean house with thriving houseplants (I have many) as well as happy and healthy animals you could tell were well cared for and loved. I would highly recommend Andrea for your house sitting needs and sincerely hope our paths cross again!

Charlot had everything we needed and more. The house was lovely and Dylan and Finley were great. They were very happy and loved all the pats and loved to be with us all the time. They walked well together. Dylan is learning but we were firm and he was walking well by the time we left. Finley walks well if you are firm with him. He’s very hyper active as all spaniels are. We had a good time with them both.
