Pet care

They each have their own individual characters, and have learned to treat each one based on their needs.
We also help out a very close friend of ours, run their sheep farm in between
house sitting.

Such a wonderful couple, am definitely useing again, communication was great and photos, I never worried once about home or our cat, she was in great hands, Thanks Rita and Charlie, your the best
Oh My Gosh Rita and Charlie are incredible! They ae accommodating and absolutely spoiled our doggie and kitty cat with love and appreciation. Their warm and caring energy was so reassuring as we left our precious home in their capable hands. They cared for our house so well, everything was just as we left it, except [perhaps our dog was happier! Thank you so much, I really hope you can come back.
Rita and Charlie were great house sitters. They looked after the pets and our house as if they were their own. All pets were happy and comfortable even our elusive cat Chester. We would be happy to have them back. Also their communication was great and regular and the house immaculate.
Rita and Graeme were awesome house/pet sitters. Our dog loved them and I think they loved him. They left the house spotlessly clean and tidy .They kept us updated with pics and texts about our dog. They mad us lunch on and left essentials in the fridge on our return Could not have asked for more. Will certainly request them again.
Rita and Graeme have looked after our home and much-loved pets twice now. I can highly recommend them as caring animal lovers and conscientious caregivers of our family home. We have already booked them in for a third house sit in 2024. Thank you Rita and Graeme!!
Peace of Mind

Happy you!

With a house sitter looking after your pets, house and garden - you can really relax. Happy days.
