Dog Sitters in Winkleigh

Ava & Darcy

Ava and Declan were just great, coping with a broken washing machine, dodgy front door and wildlife brought in by Nora. Would highly recommend and we look forward to them sitting again

Rosemary & Steve

We were delighted that Rose and Steve wanted to come and house and pet sit for us. They looked after Russell our greyhound so well and he was very happy and relaxed when we got back. They sent regular updates and pictures to us which we really appreciated, and our home was left spotlessly clean and tidy. Thank you both.

Sally

Sally and her family were amazing! From the very beginning she was very communicative and easy to get in contact with. She sent pictures while sitting and took great care of our dogs. When we came home, the house was clean and the dogs were happy which gave us such peace of mind. I’d highly recommend Sally and her family for future sits. They are responsible, friendly, and punctual. Would happily host them again anytime.

Anna

This was Anna’s first zeewoi sit and we were delighted to have her. She sent regular photographs of the dog walks and when we came home, the dogs and the cats were all very happy. The house was also spotless and the bed was stripped. We definitely recommend and we will be inviting Anna back to it again.

Gill

Gill and Peter were excellent pet sitters and cared for Whiskey really well. We have come back to a clean tidy home and a happy dog. Thanks both. Would recommend.

Aron

Aron and Karen were excellent sitters, arriving punctually the morning before our departure. They dealt efficiently with the added and unforeseen problem that Feather was in season, requiring lead walks for the first week of their stay. They seemed to bond immediately with Feather and were there to greet us on our return at a very early hour, having left their room stripped and towels already in the machine! Thank you for looking after Feather so well and I’m sorry that the weather wasn’t better for you!

Marley

Marley was instantly great with my cat, who was so obviously treated with the greatest of love and care during Marley’s stay. Marley has an innate sense of how to deal with cats, which was the most important thing for me. Marley was also self responsible in regard to making sure of her duties. She is very literal, so I’d recommend leaving detailed instruction of anything you want followed. Overall an experience that made me feel reassured in leaving my girl. Thankyou!

Ruth

Ruth was a great housesitter - and lovely to meet - came to see the property prior to the start. Everything went smoothy. thanks !

Angela

Angela is a lovely lady and a perfect house sitter. She is very calm and organised and self sufficient. Marley had a great time whilst Angela was staying and he accompanied her on trips out (and I was sent photos) and he was very well on my return. Angela took great care of my home and everything was as I’d left it. I hope she will be available to sit for me again - I have no hesitation in recommending her to others.

Sarah

Sarah & her friend were fantastic housesitters! They were very self-sufficient but kept us up to date throughout and took such great care of our home & Gatsby. Gatsby loved the toys they made for him out of boxes and left us a gorgeous apple pie & fresh milk to enjoy on our return. Thanks so much, cannot recommend Sarah highly enough!

Jill & Colin

Jill & Colin were perfect sitters looking after Rafa our young GSP. Everything went to plan, we would have no hesitation using them again or recommending them.

Ewan

Melanie and Ewan were fantastic house sitters and we can't recommend them enough! Good communication prior to and during the sit, very competent, kind and warm people, we just knew as soon as we met them that our cheeky pigs (the 3 Musketeers as they'd named them) would be in safe, loving hands. Sadly our cat passed away before they had the chance to meet him, but they were very compassionate and empathetic, and even kindly looked after a stray farm cat who we seem to have acquired since... The house was immaculate on our return, bed linen in the wash ready, and they clearly treated our home with the same respect as their own. Thank you for everything, it was a pleasure to meet you both and we would welcome you back anytime!

Teresa

Katherine was great and worked through any snafus 
at home! My fur babies were well taken care of and she sent me pictures while I was away. I came home to a clean house and happy animals!

Lance

Marlys and Hunter did a wonderful job with our Vizsla KC. He can be an handful and they were never nervous or concerned. He was well taken care. Marlys and Hunter did a great job communicating and any time we checked in we got a very quick response. I would not hesitate to ask Marlys and Hunter back to our home to watch KC.

Anne

Lillie was wonderful with Pepper! She took her on long hikes and played endless rounds of ball with her. Lillie was easy to work with and I’d welcome her back anytime.

Nikki

We had an incredible stay at Nicki and Curtis's home! They are truly wonderful people who went out of their way to make us feel and home and make sure we had a great sit. They invited us to come over the night before they left and cooked us dinner as they were leaving early in the morning. 
The pets were awesome! Poncho is such a sweet dog and a lot of fun to walk and play with he quickly became our best friend. Smash and Remy are both full of character and quickly became our friends. 
Their house is beautiful and that garden train in the back yard was amazing. There is a pub around the corner and a small store just down the block. The bus stop is also just around the corner if you don't want to drive. The islands only vineyard is within walking distance and the green lanes are in the area are great to walk. 
It was our first time to Jersey and we fell in love with the island. The beaches, the rocky coastlines, the history, the laid back atmosphere and the hospitality. We are thrilled to be returning again next week for another sit and strongly recommend sitting for them if you can.
Dan and Nan
