We, my two kids and I, took care of the four chickens while Charlotte and Phil were away. The chickens were great. The weather wasn’t, but that’s not the hosts fault. I’d recommend a car when you housesit in Bamford. There is only a small gas station convenience store in town. We took the bus and train to Sheffield which took around 45min. There are great hiking and walking opportunities close to the house. 
Thanks, Charlotte and Phil for giving us the trust to care for your house and animals. The organic veggies were also much appreciated!

Such a memorable sit! Being with the boys it was such a wonderful experience. We didn't expect to connect that much with such an amazing kitties like Wooster & Jeeves. They both have such strong and different personalities, it's fun to see. Jeeves likes all the attention and cuddles he can get. Wooster, on the other side, likes peace and quiet (and food). Normally Jeeves will come to you in the morning and cuddle with you until you get up, so cute. They're very easy to take care of and you won't get bored with them at all. We miss them so much!

Anastasia & Yurii were very attentive and kind with us! They welcomed us a day earlier with very yummy Russian delights and did a complete house tour, which was very helpful. They were communicative since the beggining and answered all the questions we had.

Their house is on a very quiet neighbourhood. There's a lot of shops, supermarkets, beaches and things to do around with very short distance by motorbike. We were able to do so many things thanks to this family, including snorkeling which we'll never forget!

Honestly, one of the best experiences we've had so far. We would've loved speding more time with adorable Jeeves & Wooster❤️ We're very thankful with the opportunity and hope we can meet again in the future!

It was a delight to house sit for Jo and Laurie and their two little doggies, Paris and Mia. The dogs are super cute and easy to care for, and the house is lovely and comfortable, and well-positioned for all your shopping needs. Jo and Laurie are wonderful, welcoming hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would go back in a flash. If you get offered the chance to house sit for them, take it, you won't be disappointed. Thank you Jo and Laurie xxx

I write this review after being away from Slinky and Kaia for two days. I truly miss them and I can’t wait to see them again. As a writer, I jotted this down during my stay:

Slinky & Kaia. In between sleeping about 17 hours a day, Slink likes taking meandering sniffs, me enjoying her as a pillow (as she rests too) and resting her head on my leg (as…you got it…she naps more. Kaia enjoys her space, but often gives me kisses and puts her paw on my foot while I work—letting me know she’s ready for pets and adoration. 

This home is located in a quiet spot close to hiking and it feels like I stepped inside an oasis of clay California roofs amidst mountains. As I built my business and worked on manuscripts, life with “the girls” felt simple and easeful. I had everything I needed and so did they. I hiked in the surrounding mountains and swam in the full-sized neighborhood pool. Most importantly, I loved these dogs who delight in scratches, walks and quality time.

I appreciate the Trusted Housesitters questions like “did you have all the information you needed before the sit?” I’ve had incredible experiences with this site. My communication with JJ and Jamie and them making sure I had everything I needed was simply—NEXT LEVEL. 

From our first conversation, it was clear that they loved their pets and wanted the best for them (of course) but they also cared about my well-being and quality of life during the experience. I hope other hosts can read this and know what a life-giving experience this can be. Especially when doing out of state sits, having the support of supplies and hospitality makes a huge difference and JJ and Jamie should write a TH blog on how to create a peaceful and successful sit for all involved.

The “Js” as I like to think of them, made sure I received every communication and I felt comfortable offering the same. For example, before the sit, I received this thoughtful, informative and supportive communication: 

“We wanted to let you know that Kaia has a little cyst on her neck that opened up. We took her to the vet today and they gave us a 7 day course of oral antibiotics and spray to put on it, and we have a little neck warmer over it to prevent her from scratching it. We will make sure to go over everything with you and add it to the instructions tomorrow but please let us know if you have any questions about it!” 

Here is another example of their beautiful communication pre-sit: “We are excited too! Let us know if there’s anything you need from us in the lead up! I’ve been writing out our instructions and I’m happy to send them over ahead of time if you’d like!”

In summary, if you ever get to take this sit, the “Js” communication and hospitality is a pure gift. I cannot wait to get to be with Slinky and Kaia again. 

I can work from anywhere and these girls have priority! Haha <3 I’m convinced my quality of offerings to authors as they write and publicize their manuscripts only grew with Slinky and Kaia by my side as “co-workers” and cuddlers!

A wonderful sit with totally adorable Rocky/Rockstar! Such a pleasure to sit for: excellent off lead and great recall, interacts beautifully with other dogs and very lovable/affectionate. Thank you Heather for your hospitality, love your little home in such a beautiful area with so many super walks to take Rocky on especially the Thanes Walk five minutes away and Hurst Park. Would highly recommend this sit and love  to come and look after Rocky again any time! Bailey, the cat, and Peach, the guinea pig easy as well.

We really enjoyed taking care of Apollo and Momo! 😊 Momo is a very calm, easy-going cat which loves cuddles but also doesn’t mind a bit of quiet time. Apollo is such an adorable, cute, calm dog. He loves cuddles, walks and he is super easy to take care of. Already missing him! The house was beautiful and clean, Lindsey and Nick were easy to communicate with and made sure we knew everything we needed to do. Thanks for this nice house/petsit.
