A++ If you get the chance, you should absolutely have Viv and Pedram stay at your home and look after your pets!

Apart from the fact that our three dogs were comfortable and well cared for, we wouldn’t have known Jake and Jess had been here! The house was tidy and clean, vegetable plants thriving, and the dogs were happy! They communicated when necessary but were self sufficient otherwise. We would happily have them back again and would recommend them as house sitters.

Christophe

We had a blast with Nilla during our stay! Christophe and Chrystele were so sweet and lovely. They made sure we were as comfortable as possible and kept communication open and easy. As for Nilla, she is so sweet and she LOVES to play. She is super smart and “handler focused” So she was a really fun and easy dog to care for. We totally fell in Love with her. She is guaranteed to make you laugh and smile the entire time. The house was very comfortable, clean and felt like home to us. We had everything we needed. The town is SO cute, with some great shops and restaurants within a very short walk. It was a really great time and would 100% come stay with Nilla again and would recommend this listing to anyone else looking.

DONNA

I had a great sit with Clemmie! She's such a star, sweet, cuddly and independent. She made each day great! Donna and her husband were both so lovely and caring. I felt at home immediately and I had everything I could need close-by. I hope to be back soon!

Rupert

This house sit was our pleasure entirely. Rupert and Vanessa were most welcoming, with great communication and clear instructions. Ludo is the most laid back gentleman you will ever wish to meet; very friendly and easy. Not to mention the very comfortable home and gardens. We sincerely hope we can repeat this experience at some time, and can wholeheartedly recommend.

Sue

Fab, Fab, Fab! I so wanted this couple to adopt me as I didn't want to leave... what can I say! - the house, the garden, the dogs, the chickens - all amazing.  I felt like I was at a retreat.  Seriously those boys are just hilarious and kept me so amused (and fit!! LOL) and I totally fell in love with the chickens - they followed me everywhere!  Thank you so much for your generosity, so very much appreciated.  I can't wait to return!  What a little slice of paradise you have there... such fab walks straight from the house and great local pubs - Win-Win!!

Jay

Bohdi was an absolute joy to be around. He truly is man’s best friend. Bodhi is a happy boy who loves to get his belly rubbed and loves to spend time with you. 

Jay was a great host and easy to communicate with.

Kirsty

We had a wonderful time surrounded by all the pets, we feel all their love, we quickly connected and they are simply adorable!  Nala is the boss though, haha, we had a lot of fun.  I really thank Kirsty and her family for all the trust and letting us feel so comfortable.
