Steven and his family are lovely heart felt people and the dogs are lively and full of beans. However the sit could have been more enjoyable if the dogs had more training as they were quite a handful but being young they have time to change that. Also there could have been more consideration made for the dog sitter ie. somewhere comfortable to sit in the living room that wasn't completely overtaken by the dogs, spare cupboard to put food, bedroom made nice without clutter and the plant grave yard. Other than that the location is fantastic for visiting the artisanal shops of Frome and Steven was always available for communication during the sit.

I loved being with these 3 lovely creatures. Baby Benji was a delight and such a cuddle pup. Alfie is so good natured and it was a joy to watch them play at home together. Caspar is a gentle loving puss and I made sure to spend time with him upstairs as he doesn't seem to want to share space with Benji and Alfie yet. Steven and Akyra were helpful and friendly and their home is a relaxed place right by town and well placed for walks. Benji is doing well learning not pull on the lead and responding well to 'no' or 'down'. Alfie is very strong and was more contained walking on a short lead under close control. He can safely have space to explore in open spaces when on a long line as he's still working on his recall. I'd be happy to return again. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸŒฟ

A bit of trouble with communication at first, but all issues were resolved. Nice place, very central in the attractive town of Frome. And the two dogs were great, both very good-natured and friendly. I enjoyed giving them the walks they need every day, and playing with them. Would happily repeat.
