I wish there was an option to give 10 stars to Sandra and Peter as they really are the best in every way. They are a lovely couple for whom nothing is either too much trouble or problematic in any way. As soon as I met them I felt as if I had known them for years and I said to them there and then that I just knew they were going to be great before even meeting them and they certainly were. From our very first video call together which was months ago, Sandra and Peter demonstrated such loving care and consideration towards Elvis in particular as he's elderly and no longer at his best health wise. They said that they had lost a dearly loved dog and there were parallels with Elvis's situation. Sandra's communication was excellent and she kept me informed on their whereabouts during their tour which included France and the UK, and methods of contacting them prior to their arrival. During their all too brief stay, she updated me regularly on how the dogs were doing generally and sleeping, eating and Elvis' mediation etc. They were only here for less than 48 hours and this was their last stop before heading back home to Australia. Sandra was so diligent about attending to the dogs' needs especially on the morning that they left as I wasn't going to be home until later. Needless to say, I arrived home to find two very happy little dogs and an immaculate home. Sandra had even managed to wash the bed sheets etc., and hang it out on the line before they left at 6.45am! She had even very kindly washed some kitchen linen that I had inadvertently left in the washing machine and in a washing basket nearby. There was no expectation for her to to do so and I felt mortified that I had forgotten it was there, but she just took it in her capable stride and there is was - beautifully washed and folded / ironed on the side. Thank you Sandra and Peter. If you are lucky to secure these two lovely people to look after your home and animals, you will not be disappointed. Only problem is that they have now set the bar very high and will be a hard act to follow. In fact I will be waiting to hear from them when they will next be over here, before I even book a holiday. My holiday dates will be based on theirs. Warmest wishes to them both.
Victoria looked after our house and our dog recently and she was fantastic. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a completely reliable, very competent, friendly sitter. She was very thorough in making sure that she understood how everything worked and what routines etc our dog was used to and he was instantly relaxed in her company. She kept us informed with updates and photos during the week and was very flexible with taking in parcels, accommodating cleaners etc. Winston was clearly happy and settled when we returned and the linens were clean on the bed, with the house lovely and tidy. I would absolutely have her back anytime.
