Review

Dennis and Marlene were absolutely wonderful hosts, and this was one of the best house-sitting experiences I’ve had. They were incredibly kind, welcoming. We shared dinner together and had many great conversations, which made me feel very comfortable and appreciated. Jack was such a lovely dog to look after ,very sweet, well-behaved. Spending time with him was truly enjoyable, and I already miss him! The holiday park was also beautiful, especially the amazing sunsets that could be seen ...

We shared dinner together and had many great conversations, which made me feel very comfortable and appreciated. Jack was such a lovely dog to look after ,very sweet, well-behaved. Spending time with him was truly enjoyable, and I already miss him! The holiday park was also beautiful, especially the amazing sunsets that could be seen there every evening. It was such a peaceful and relaxing place to stay. I would highly recommend this house sit to anyone and would happily return again in the future. Also, a special thank you to Dennis for kindly driving me when I left. I really appreciated the help and generosity.
