We have the two lovely boys and an outdoor cat, Ella, who is a very independent cat, but will come for some love once in a while when it suits her. The boys will go for a walk (Billy will go 20 times a day given half a chance, he’s an anxious kind of guy) Charlie not so much, he’s a lazy boy! They will run around the garden in nice weather. Both boys are rescue dogs. Not a problem to leave them alone whilst you go out to explore, max 6 - 7 hours please.

I looked after Billy, Charlie and Ella for some days during February, and it was great. They are very affectionate and lovely. We walked around the neighbourhood near the house, and we had a great time together. Charlie doesn’t like too much of his harness or lead, but after that he goes for his walk without any issue. However, he is really slow and sniffing everything. Billy loves his walks, and he could walk anywhere for how long you would like. I walked them separately because Charlie is slow, and Billy is fast. They are both terrible with other dogs, so I always cross the street if I see another dog coming to avoid them. Charlie loves eating and I put his medication on the sausages 3 times per day, but Billy takes more time to eat and sometimes he doesn’t eat everything. Ella is very easy to look after. She was usually sleeping during the day on the couch, and she was out during the night. She didn’t need any medication, but sometimes when she wanted, she would like some attention. Jill and Wayne are lovely, organised and kind hosts, and they made me feel at home. They explained everything about all the 3, the house and the neighbourhood, which is very residential and calm, which makes it easy to arrive in Preston city centre (there is a bus stop 5 minutes walking). Besides that, there is a small store to buy milk and bread if necessary. Overall, I would highly recommend this house sit and would love to spend some more time with them! Thank you again Jill and Wayne!!

We appreciate the efforts Jill and Wayne went too make our sit go well! They kindly collected us when we arrived and returned us to the railway station when we left. A drive to their spacious suburban bungalow in a quiet neighborhood took us past their local retail park and along the route they walk Billy and Charlie. There is a convenient bus stop but the town center is also within walking distance. Jill left typed instructions for looking after Billy, Charlie and Ella and we quickly settled into their regular daily routine of feeds and walks. Jill is a keen gardener with a greenhouse, raised planted beds and we enjoyed the lovely display of spring blooms. Our own bed and bathroom was really comfortable, we all enjoyed relaxing in the lounge and made use of their large and well equipped kitchen. Thank you all for having us stay!

Somebody said pets are reflects of their owners. Jill and Wayne are a wonderful and warmhearted couple. And Billy, Charlie and Ella are exactly what you can expect considering their pawrents. Jill and Wayne picked me up from the station, cooked for me and make me feel at home, even I was far from my home. The sit was probably one of the most perfect ones we had. The gang knows how to behave and you would end up being followed by them around the house, watching movies together and even enjoying the sunset. And the house... there are not enough words to describe the love that you feel around. Not only is a beautiful place with an amazing garden, is a place you can describe as peacefully. We can't describe this as a sit. For us it was more a stay at friend's home with our own pets. Jill, Wayne, Ella, Billy and Charlie, thanks for everything and we truthfully hope to see you soon.
