Jayne & her friend Graham stayed her for a week taking care of my Sulis and her boyfriend Tatters. The cats were not immediately attentive to the sitters from the beginning, which they nowadays are a bit more when people come into the house. They were fed and taken care of during the week, even if it seems like some of the diversity of food which Sulis are to receive every day, were not given to her during the week they were here (written in instructions and also showed where to find more during personal instruction, so shouldn't have been any possibility for misunderstandings). As the pet-owner I prefer a more attentive communication whilst I'm away (which also was communicated by me in advance, and reminded whilst I was away), though we seem to have different communication-style. I'm use to a bit more attentiveness to details, questions if something seems unclear during the week(better ask one time too much than one too little), photos being shared, so I can see how my animals are doing. I know not all home-/pet-owners are wishing for the same. There were a few agreements/instructions that seems to have been misinterpreted as well, even if all in writing, so my learning is to make more pictures for avoiding this. Overall the cats were taken care of during the week, and Jayne and Graham are great people that will be with your animals when you are away.

Jeanette
Me and my partner Dave spent a great weekend in Carnkie looking after Jasper the most loving Border Collie.
He took us on all his favourate walks around the area which is a World Heritage site full of history based on tin mining. We also visited the beautiful cornish coast at Portreath. Jeanette and her partner showed us where everything was and left a few goodies for us to enjoy during our stay. The house was very clean and comfortable and we would gladly return for another sit.

Elise
Elise has a lovely apartment in a great location in St Kilda! We were only minutes from the beach and we had a great stay here.

Zappa and Bhageera are the two most lovely cats, Zappa loves to sit on your lap while Bhageera is a little more shy but she still sat with me as I was working from home throughout the day.

They are both easy to look after and Elise was nice enough to leave us feeding instructions and was contactable over the whole period we house sat for her. 

We’d be more than happy to housesit here again.
Thanks again Elise!

Georgia and Sam
We had a lovely stay at Sam and Georgia’s beautiful home- very nice design and very comfortable. The dogs are amazing! We have had truly great time walking and cuddling them. We enjoyed the beautiful cats, too. Very nice walks all around and I had some work in Cheltenham for a few hours so it was very convenient. We explored the local woodlands which was very relaxing and went to Bourton-on-the-water, a beautiful Cotswold village with a brilliant bird park. Georgia and Sam provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay and we particularly enjoyed being surrounded by the animals on the pastures of the family farm.

Michelle
I had such a lovely time with Randall & Biscuit. They are very sweet and easy to care for, and they kept me entertained with their adorable and interesting personalities. I got so attached to them in such a short time, I wish I could have stayed longer! Michelle was an amazing host...very welcoming and easy to communicate with. I felt very comfortable in Michelle's home and the location is fantastic. I couldn't ask for a better housesit, everything was perfect!

This was an amazing first stay. The profile properly represented the house and pets. John left such an easy and helpful guide for me follow. Arriving/departing was a breeze. THE PETS were the sweetest ! They both warmed up to me very quickly and I loved being able to cuddle up with them while working. I felt very welcomed, comfortable and safe in their home. Definitely recommend (:
