Janine & Steven arrived on time and it was obvious that their love of animals was totally unquestionable. Their communication throughout their stay was very good. Although I put new batteries in the cat-flap, tv remotes, front door bell etc etc, the one thing that I didn’t think of was the smoke alarm in the Plant Room and of course, that decided to start beeping towards the end of their stay here. We asked them to turn the alarms off at the fuse box, but Steven said it was still beeping. When I got home, I turned it off and after 5mins that solved the issue until I could buy new 9v batteries the next day. They were very sweet and left us lovely flowers, a card and chocolates which was very thoughtful of them. Because we arrived home quite late, they’d already departed as they themselves had a long journey home. On first appearances the house looked tidy. They both preferred a bath to a shower, so I’d told them they could use the bath in my bedroom. Well, I don’t think it had been cleaned at all in the whole time they were here and I found myself at 10pm scrubbing the bath and toilets until they were clean! The bed sheet also was covered in blood spots and hair and I immediately felt I had to wash the bedding, mattress protector/pillow protectors even though by then it was approaching 10.30pm and we had our holiday washing to do as well. A real shame as otherwise we would have had no complaints and I hate putting anything negative but you have to be honest otherwise it makes leaving a review pointless.

Linda & Ozzie
We were extremely satisfied with Heather and Tim.  From the moment we spoke with them things just felt right.  Since they were going to be fairly close during the preceding months, arrangements were made to drop by to meet our Willow.  They made us comfortable with our decision from the beginning.  They arrived the evening prior to our leave and were kind enough to drive us to the airport the following morning.  We received weekly updates about Willow and pictures of mail received during our 3 month leave.  When Willow had a medical issue, they were quick to advise us and consult our veterinarian to obtain advice.  It was the first time, in many years of sitters, that our orchids and other plants thrived.  Heather took the time to look up how to care for them - this really showed us how much they took their job seriously.  We were scheduled to return on April 1st  - but with the Government encouraging us to return to Canada because of the Corona 19 we scrambled to find an earlier flight.  Heather and Tim were quick to reassure us that should we have to postpone our return, they were ready to help us out and stay as long as we needed.  When our return was secured, they were so kind as to get us some groceries and pick us up at the airport.  Willow was a happy little puppy and our home was well cared for.  We would definitely recommend them for your house sit and we hope to have them back in the future.

Louise was fantastic. She took care of our guys like a pro, & they were happy, healthy, & bouncy when we returned. On our invitation, she arrived a day early to get the lay of the land, and when she left, we arrived to find our house as clean, if not cleaner, than when we left it. She sent us daily updates on the status of our guys & what they'd busied themselves doing that day, complete with pictures. This little extra effort was greatly appreciated for our peace of mind. While we overlapped, Louise was self sufficient, but at the same time, a great conversationalist. We would invite Louise back anytime (in fact, we have!) & can't recommend her highly enough!
