From the beginning, communication was excellent and after an initial video chat, they set up a WhatsApp Group so we could ask and answer questions ahead of the actual sit. At our request, Javier and Carlos arrived the night before we left so we could go through the details of our Welcome Guide. We knew immediately, our boys were in good hands because they were keen to note all the details of our pets' care. While we were away we were updated regularly which ensured that everything went smoothly. Timings on our part meant that we didn't do a physical hand over on our return but everything was perfect and the dogs and cats had clearly been very well cared for. Special note: Bertie, our Labrador, is 18 months old and can be a little demanding. Javier and Carlos went above and beyond to ensure that he was exercised and played with so we returned to a very calm and happy young dog. We have no hesitation in recommending both Javier and Carlos and we really hope they will come back to see us and to sit our 'boys' very soon.
We could not have found a more caring, reliable, precise couple. They were right on time, they had the highest regard for our two dogs, what they needed, where they walked, what they ate. They came prepared with their own food & drinks. Our dogs loved Chris & Christine immediately and as we drove away, Chris & Christine walked the dogs out of our driveway without the dogs even looking back. Upon return, our house was as clean as when we left, the sheets & towels were washed & there was no trace of them being there. They are outstanding sitters, you would be lucky to be able to have them care for your pets. I highly recommend Chris & Christine Lake.
