Lisa was easy to chat to about all the details for the housesit. Jimmy and Niko were so friendly from the first meeting. Jimmy wags his little tail more than I know any other dog to do. So sweet. We loved our daily walks and he loved rolling in the mud. He was so good at getting a clean up as well. Stood there really nicely as I washed all the mud off. Niko was super cuddly and purred with gratitude a lot. View from the back door was amazing. Area is lovely and quiet. Got to see the odd ...

The house was lovely, clean, tidy and cosy. They even had a great supply of firewood that I was able to use in the unseasonably cold weather. Garden was easy to care for, just a water every other day. Would love to sit again for Lisa. Thank you for letting me help :-D

Beautiful family, very friendly. Their pets are super well-behaved. Jimmy stole our hearts. The house is very quiet, has a huge garden, and a tree house, beautiful for watching the sunset. It was a nice experience❤️
Thanks guys. Hope travels are going well.
