I cannot recommend Clare and Noel highly enough. They are models for what pet and house-sitters should be. They came to visit and meet me and the cats before the sit, so that Elvis and Tina (the cats) could start to get to know them well in advance of the actual sit. Clare and Noel also arrived a night early to take away any pressure of time – it was great for both me and the cats to have an evening and morning with them. It also gave us time to talk through everything in a relaxed way. Communication before, during and even after the sit has been wonderful. I had photos and videos every day, so I knew my kitties were happy and loved as the purring in the videos testified. Clare and Noel were self-reliant and also asked questions or checked in with me when needed – they showed really good judgement. They took good care of my home, even chopping some wood for kindling and handling communications with oil deliveries. I could not have asked for more care. I came home to a spotless house (and clean refrigerator!), washed linens and towels with the bed re-made and a few essentials in the refrigerator to help me my first day back – so so thoughtful. And Noel had laid a fire for me so I could have a cosy evening with no effort. I think my two cats miss them already, as do I 😊. I feel as though I have gained two new friends. We would all be very happy to welcome Noel and Clare back to Yew Tree Cottage. Thank you, Clare and Noel!

Valery and Hunter were amazing sitters and took suck great care of Sulley and Stella.  Excellent communication and our pups were so chill when I got home - a sign that they were so well cared for!  I highly recommend Valery and Hunter!!

I really enjoyed this sit. Bobo is such a sweet little girl and will 'ask' you to keep her company while she eats and she loves her snack treats. She'd announce herself when she came back in was more than happy to jump on my lap and have a snooze. Most nights she ended up sleeping on the bed with me and then 'headbutting' me in the morning when we woke up.
The house is lovely, has everything you need and I was able to be productive with work and getting some embroidery done in my down time. The garden is nice and big too but it rained for most of the time so I wasn't to use the outside seating so much.
The location is very convenient if you need to get into central London and the nearest supermarket is also a short walk away.
Sarah is very nice and answered any questions quickly. Her brief was very useful and she showed me around too which was appreciated. I can highly recommend this sit and would happily look after little Bobo again if the opportunity arises.

Wonderful housesit! Excellent communication with Caroline throughout. When I arrived, I was given a full tour, a thorough guidebook of handy details, and a very warm welcome. Misty & Lennon were a joy to care for and cuddle (on their terms of course). Caroline has a beautiful home and garden. And, I enjoyed my time there very much! Caroline and family came home a little early due to newly implemented Covid travel restrictions, and Caroline kindly kept me well informed of changing plans as they were happening. In these uncertain travel and housesitting times, I was very grateful to Caroline for her open and honest communication, and kind and generous spirit. I highly recommend housesitting for the wonderful Caroline and adorable Lennon & Misty :)

Vicky was so nice and accommodating! While her trip fell through at the last minute and she didn’t need a petsitter, she kindly let us stay at her place since we had nowhere else to go. We loved meeting her sweet pets and wish we could’ve sat for them!
