Becca is a truly wonderful sitter - and a lovely person all round. We tend to usually choose couples to sit for us as our dog, Morris, is very active and potentially rather time-consuming for one person on their own, but Becca was not only very keen to sit, but an even keener (and fitter!) walker than even Morris could have hoped for! Our priority is always the wellbeing of our animals, and they all loved her - Morris had the hiking holiday of his dreams, Grace the pony was fed and checked regularly (even groomed a few times) and Becca was with her when the farrier came to trim her feet. We were sent many photos of Morris and Elsa (our cat) snuggling happily with Becca in the evenings, and it was only when we got home that we discovered that this was despite Becca having developed a serious allergy to Elsa's long silky fur. Becca's fortitude in continuing not only to cuddle but also to brush our, rather unfortunately, attention-loving cat was nothing short of heroic in the circumstances..! Becca also looked after our house and garden beautifully - deadheading our roses and looking after our houseplants, and ensuring that everything was clean and tidy when we returned. She kept our sourdough starter and kefir alive and well - and even made her own bread and kefir, which was fabulous to see. She also checked whether we wanted any supplies bought in ahead of us coming home, and coped cheerfully with our boiler cutting out. Becca asked us whether we wanted updates while we were away, and whilst we didn't want to impinge on her time, they evolved into an ongoing chat on the WhatsApp group we'd set up before she came, sharing what we were all doing and, obviously, amusing pictures of the animals! Becca's communication was great all-round - we'd chatted with her before the sit, and she was brilliant at checking in with us about anything she wasn't sure about - both before and during the sit. We thoroughly enjoyed having dinner with her before we left, and she very kindly made dinner for us all when we returned, before leaving the next morning for her long drive home. We like to think that sits should be a 'win-win' for all concerned, and we feel very lucky to have met Becca and have had her sit for us. In fact, she was due to sit again in September, and I think we are all as disappointed as each other that her allergy clearly prevents that. We are, however, very much looking forward to seeing her again when she is in Snowdonia later this year, and Morris is looking forward to being taken off for another great day out in the hills!

Fiona
Just had a fantastic 3 week house sit (4 - 23 September) looking after Fiona and Jon's beloved house (and garden) mates!  Barney and Binky are both very sociable and easy to care for, Barney will keep your feet warm as he loves sitting at your feet and follows you everywhere.  Binky prefers to sit on your knee!  In the garden Comfrey, Henry and Enzo are fascinating, I learnt so much about tortoises and how social they are!!

Fiona and Jon are very generous host and a sitter will have everything they need (and more) to feel at home for their stay.

Fiona and Jon provide very clear instructions with regard to feeding routines and walks (the dogs not the tortoises!)

Their home is lovely and very comfortable. 

I was lucky to have some wonderful weather and the garden is a sun trap which allowed me to relax and read lots and reflect!

A thoroughly enjoyable sit and I hope I get an opportunity to repeat the experience!

Paula was great a communicator, and such a warm host. We had a great time looking after Dhillon and Pippen. It went so smoothly and had the enjoyment of fluffy snuggles from the cats!

Lori
Wow 🤩 

Where do I start… 

I spoke to Lori a few times over the phone and then met Mike a few days prior to the sit. He showed me around their house and how everything works and I even got to meet the cats. 

Their house is clean, spacious and just perfection in every way possible. 

The cats, Coco and Lola are amazing. So easy to care for and they warmed up to us pretty quickly. We all loved snuggles with them and playing with them and when they had enough they would just walk off and then return again later for some more loving. They are also the most beautiful cats I have ever seen, with the most divine fur and colouring. 

Lori and Mike were wonderful generous hosts. We would never hesitate to return. 

Thank you for picking us and for the wonderful adventures with Coco and Lola and the Tiplady Towers! 

Love, A, T and S ♥️

Pat
Pat was an absolute delight to sit for. She was gracious with offering her accommodations and her beautiful fur-baby, Ralphie. Pat introduced me to several supports within the community to assist in times of need. She arranged access to the Community Clubhouse to partake in activities and use of facilities for the 3 month stay, signing me into the Community website to keep up-to-date with new activities and news. Pat's communication was exceptional, despite the 12-hour time difference. It was a perfect stay, full of choice, comfort, loving contact, and cuddles. I would be most pleased to return! Thank you, Pat, for the grace, ease, and generosity you exercised throughout my stay, the time leading up to the stay, and the time after.

I had an amazing stay in Sara's home looking after her beautiful kittens Collin and Doris. They were both adorable and playful. Isleworth is a great area if you enjoy leisurely walks and green spaces and Sara even recommended kayaking which I really. If you are an outdoor lover and love kittens this sit is amazing.

We had a great time sitting for Vivianna and Bryan.   It was a last minute sit, so we did not get to meet them in person, but communication was great before and throughout the sit.

Their is located in the Silver Summit part of Park City, in a very nice neighborhood and walking distance to great trails.

Buttercup and Apple are great!!   We enjoyed our daily trail hikes with Buttercup.   She LOVES off-leash hikes and is so well-behaved and listens very well.   Apple loves people and loves to cuddle.

We had a great week and highly recommend sitting for Vivanna and Bryan, if you have the chance.
