Steven, Judith and their daughters Rose and Esther were wonderful house sitters. We communicated well from the very beginning and had daily updates during our time away. On our return, the house was beautifully clean and tidy. Judith had baked a delicious apple pie to welcome us home. The girls took on responsibilities for the chickens and ducks as well as the honesty box at the top of the drive. Steven did a great job in the garden. He picked all of our apples that would otherwise have fallen in the windy conditions and rescued our crop of carrots from marauding rabbits. The lawns were also nicely mowed. This had been a rather challenging house sit for various reasons. Firstly, our beloved Rosie had sadly died just a few weeks before they came. Una was therefore on her own so she enjoyed walks and lots of loving attention. Secondly, one of horses, Cubley, developed a sore hind foot just a few days before the house sit which necessitated both Blue and Cubley being on stable rest throughout the house sit. Even though this was an unexpected level of responsibility, they took on the challenge willingly and coped well in the circumstances. Finally, we had been having some unresolved issues with the heating system. Steven showed initiative and contacted the heating engineers independently. Given these unexpected issues, Steven, Judith and their girls were wonderful and took everything on board as far as they could. We are sorry that they had more responsibilities than originally agreed and hope that this did not detract from their experience. We would certainly welcome them back to our home at a time when hopefully circumstances are back to normal.

Alanna and Luke were great again! Everything was fantastic - communication, care of our dog, flexibility, overall pleasant natures. The humans and our dog are happy they're coming back another time :) Highly recommend.

Maria and Michael are such lovely people, really calm, caring and genuine. Maria travelled a day earlier on the train so she had extra time to settle with the cats and their routines, and even brought us some welcome gifts, and Michael followed in the car the day after.  Prior communication was great and well planned, leaving us worry free to prepare our own travel.  Maria seemed to have learned our guide by heart! She settled so quickly and even Lilli our super shy and overly suspicious girl came to be introduced.  They provided regular updates and pictures whilst we were away, had no problems at all and gave a large amount of attention and affection to our cat team, who very much approved. Freddie’s medication was no issue, they kept our home beautifully clean and even waited up very late to greet us on our return with a lovely prepared meal.  We will definitely look forward to Maria and Michael being interested to sit again with us in the future and highly recommend them to anyone considering. Perfect sitters!
