I had a great time sitting Alfie. He’s a sweet and calm dog, perfect for working at home. He loves cuddles and attention but he is also very patient when I was working on the table for hours. He only needs one walk a day and the fields are near the house. Lyndon is a great host, explained everything in detail and left the doggie's food ready for each day. The house is at the heart of Oxford and has a nice essence. Thank you 🐺💕!
This was a lovely sit. Both dogs are very good natured and well trained: Smartie is a very dignified and affectionate old lady who goes entirely at her own pace; Maisie is a younger labrador, full of beans and also very friendly. They are easy to care for and there are plenty of walks available - plenty of beautiful countryside right from the door, or all across Hampshire if desired Juliet and Philip made me very welcome and gave very clear, easy-to-follow instructions. Their home is spacious, comfortable and easy to take care of, with anything a sitter would need to enjoy the task in hand. I would recommend it to any sitter; I would suggest that experience of looking after an older dog would be an advantage with Smartie. Thank you Juliet & Philip - I would be very happy to sit for "the girls" again, if I can.
Techno is such a lovely cat and one of the most affectionate I’ve met. He’s very chilled and a joy to look after! Maria’s very nice too and gave me clear instructions for while she was away.
