It was lovely to spend time in Carla's comfortable home for a few days. We met her delightful family before they left and were introduced to "The Boys" Frankie and Mungo. They are gentle, obedient and full of character and a delight to spend time with. The property is so peaceful and relaxing that we didn't venture off. There is a beautiful view down the valley to wake up to and happy faces to greet you. We are hoping to return again in the future. Chris and Deborah
I had the most wonderful sit with Winnie! Caroline was so organised and made me feel very welcome, hosting me the evening before she left. I felt completely safe and had people all around to make sure I was okay during the sit. Winnie was no bother to look after -she’s very easy going! But be prepared because she will steal your heart! Though she’s small she can walk for miles, so she’s a great companion on the beautiful walks around the area. She’s really good off lead and with other dogs. The house was stunning and there’s lots of nice reading nooks, or in my case great places to get revision done. All in all I couldn’t recommend this sit enough. Thanks a million Caroline for the best time:)x
We've really enjoyed our stay at Mel's beautiful modern house. Coco and Inca are two adorable cats with very different personalities. Inca was very shy at first, but with some patience (and treats) soon accepted our presence in the house and even jumped up on the couch to keep us company :) Coco did let us pet her from day 1 and liked showing us her jumping abilities, jumping even in the sink or bathtub. We loved watching them play together on the huge wooden deck. Giving Coco her meds was a bit of a challenge at first, but we soon get used to it and it became a routine thing. Balcombe is a small village, but close enough to London to go there for a day trip. Smooth communication via WhatsApp with Mel throughout our stay, when we had any questions, she responded very quickly :)
Hannah’s home is very well-maintained and comfortable. Hannah communicated everything and all went well!
We really enjoyed our time at Monika and Hannes’ place! They are a lovely couple, very kind, easygoing and welcoming. Arnie and Collie are the sweetest kittens! We became friends very soon, and had a lot of fun during our time together. The house is in a good area and very well connected. We would definitely go back, thanks for everything! :)) <3
Teresa was super organized and very clear on instructions for Little Tony and Valentine, which was very helpful! Valentine would greet me and rub against my legs, and wanted to be a few feet away from wherever I was, but it took several days before he would hang out on my lap and snuggle. I haven’t been around a rabbit for years, so Little Tony was fun! He is a lover of head rubs. Apartment was very quiet and peaceful. Would sit here again:)
