We were extremely grateful to Amanda and Alan for agreeing to come and housesit at pretty short notice, and as it turned out, very lucky too, to find such great sitters. They stayed for two weeks and did a fantastic job of caring for our two dogs, cat and three sheep. It’s a long time to be away from home but we were confident the whole time that the household was in safe and capable hands - despite never meeting them! This was a real shame, as Amanda and Alan are clearly very lovely people. They kept us updated with regular messages and photos, and it was lovely to see everyone bonding and having a good time. They came really well prepared, having read the house guide thoroughly, and always came across as very kind and considerate. Not only were the animals well looked after, but we returned to a very clean and tidy house, well watered plants, and even a weeded patio! To top it all off, a beautiful cushion cover made by Amanda, a very generous gift. Thanks also for going out and restocking the dog food when we unexpectedly ran out. Thank you so much Amanda and Alan, we hope you enjoyed your stay as much as our pets did, and maybe we will get to meet you one day 🙂
LJ and Marcela were fantastic, we came home to very happy pets and a clean house. They kept us up to date with our pets with pictures while we were gone and looked after the house wonderfully - would definitely recommend!
