We immediately fell in love with Wilbur - he was so well behaved and great company for the long weekend. He’s such a happy dog to look after and warmed to us quickly. Lots of great walks nearby and Emma even left us some recommendations. The chickens were low maintenance and easy to care for. Their home is also absolutely beautiful and easy to fine. Would highly recommend to anyone.
We had a great time pet sitting for Emma & Jack, they are a lovely welcoming couple. Wibur is such a beautiful dog, he has a gentle, easygoing and affectionate nature and we loved our daily walks with him on the nearby trails. He is very good off the lead and with other dogs and people. The house is cozy and comfortable with everything you could possibly need and right next door to several wonderful walking tracks. The chickens were fun and easy to care for with the bonus of fresh eggs. ... MoreWe had a great time pet sitting for Emma & Jack, they are a lovely welcoming couple.

Cannot recommend highly enough. Thanks for everything! :)
