It was an absolute pleasure to welcome Sophie, Rikki and their adorable little girl, Nellie into our home. They are the perfect housesitters, capable, caring, thorough, organised and just very likeable people. From the initial video call with Sophie, I got along really well with her and just knew that she would be brilliant. She identified that it must take a huge leap of faith to hand over your home and your pets to almost total strangers and go off on holiday for two weeks! Her empathy meant a lot to me. Nellie is a delightful, gentle and sweet little girl and she was very good around the dogs. I believe she and Darcy formed a strong bond. Communication with Sophie beforehand and during the sit was excellent. We had a brief in person hand over before we left and both Sophie and Rikki asked how much/how often we wanted updates, photos, etc. Sophie's updates were thorough and reassuring - detailing how the dogs were eating and sleeping etc., and in particular regarding Elvis' well being/appetite. It can be a challenge balancing the needs and differences between and older, infirm dog and a younger more playful one. Sophie and Rikki managed this well and with kindness (and patience!) towards Elvis. They were diligent about following the dogs' routine and even created their own more concise, easy to use version of my rambling notes on what happens when with each dog. I shall be keeping and using their version for future sitters. Needless to say, we arrived home to an immaculately clean and tidy home and got to spend a little time with Sophie and Rikki and Nellie before they headed off. Do not hesitate to take that leap of faith with this lovely family - they are the safest pair of hands you could find. I hope they come back to us one day but in the meantime we wish them well on their travels. Gary and Rebecca xxx

Susan
Susan Johns is a delightful woman and provided everything we needed to make our house sit pleasant, we had our own guest room with wardrobe and bathroom. The home is located within easy reach of the bus stop which takes you through Newmarket and  the city of Auckland, or Lynnfield shopping center.
Shadow the German Shepherd dog affectionate, easy to walk and very obedient, easy to look after as well as a good watch dog.
We would be pleased if the occasion arose to house and pet sit for Susan again.

Liane
We really enjoyed our sit for little Ivy - Liane and Nick made us feel so welcome in their lovely home. It was a great location, close to parks and cafes. Ivy was very friendly and easy going, we would love to sit for her again!

Looking after Mel and Honey was a dream: Mike and Estela were wonderful hosts and always easy and quick to get in touch with. The flat is cosy, very clean and has excellent public transport links to London and Brighton. The cats were a delight - they got increasingly used to us with every day and were playful and cuddly. Croydon is an exciting neighbourhood with lots to discover. We enjoyed the stay very much. Thank you so much, we would love to come back!

Lexa was initially reserved, taking her time to feel comfortable around us. At home she is calm and enjoys leisurely naps. Easily startled by loud noises and prefers to keep to herself around other dogs. 
Townhouse is located on busy street with lots of young kids playing, biking during the day, walking distance to various trails, short drive to local ski hill. 
We enjoyed our time spend with Lexa exploring charming city of Kimberley.

Caroline
Birtley was an absolute gem of a dog. He loved his long walks and cuddles with his favourite fluffly toy 'Pig'.
Everyday he would introduce us to more of the fluffy gang: Owl, Lion and Christmas Hedgehog. He loved his bellyrubs and enjoyed an afternoon snooze in the sun.
Caroline and Bill are the hosts with the most! They welcomed us into their home and made us feel like part of the family. Very kind and amazing people. Thank you for a wonderful stay in Guildford, we would love to sit again🐶

Maggie
We had a wonderful sit at Maggie and Chris' home in Hook in the summer of 2016.  They were warm and welcoming and provided us with a nice tour of the surrounding area prior to their departure.  Although they took their adorable pup Freddie with them on their trip, we had an opportunity to meet him and it is apparent the care and attention that they give to him.  We highly recommend Maggie and Chris!
