We had a very lovely long weekend! Peter and Em are generous, flexible and easy to communicate with, lovely people. Lemon is very sweet and well behaved; she is young and full of energy and excitement, but absolutely a joy to have around and easy to manage. Our little girl is very petit, almost the same size as Lemon, and they became best friends! We had so many sweet little moments with Lemon! House is very comfortable and a nice walk (about 20 mins) to the city centre. York is a gem of a city with lots of things to do. Around the corner from the house there is a lovely big green area and 2 minutes away a co-op and a pretty park with playground. We would be very excited to come back anytime! Thank you, Peter and Em, for trusting us with your sweet girl Lemon!

We had an incredible time looking after Lemon for Peter and Em. Lemon is loving, well-behaved, and very easy to look after. We had a great time walking around York and playing in the garden with her. Peter and Em gave us helpful and clear information on how to look after Lemon and their home ahead of the sit and were quick to answer any questions as they came up. We would definitely recommend sitting for them and spending some time with Lemon if you get the chance!

We enjoyed our stay in York with the lovely Lemon very much. Lemon is very cute and well behaved, including being a great sleeper. Peter and Em’s house is only a 20 minute walk from central York (there is also a bus and Uber), it is well placed for adventures and walks with Lemon. As hosts, they were super welcoming and had a spacious home with all the modern amenities. Thanks Peter, Em and Lemon :)

I couldn’t have asked for a better sit: super kind hosts, beautiful home, and, most of all, delightful dogs. Lemon and Holly were an absolute pleasure to look after. They’re both really well-behaved, gentle, and funny - I really loved spending time with them. Holly, the family labrador, is a bit older but full of character. She enjoys chilled walks, lots of tummy rubs, and, of course, food. Lemon is so gentle, playful, and curious - she’s an excellent companion to explore York with. She loves water just as much as checking out a pub or watching geese on the university campus. She is very excitable and friendly when she meets other people and dogs, and she was very popular among everyone meeting her. Em and Peter are really kind and relaxed and I loved housesitting for them. The instructions beforehand were very clear about the house and the dogs routines and the expectations were super realistic. They made me feel really welcome when we met and communication before and throughout the sit was excellent and effortless. I couldn't rate this sit highly enough and would be delighted to return. Thank you Em and Peter, it truly was my pleasure. Eszter

Both me and my daughter Bonnie had a great time house and dog-sitting. Peter and Em are so lovely, relaxed, and a pleasure to housesit for. All instructions and how-to's were clear and easy to follow and our stay and responsibilities were fun and enjoyable. Lemon is such a beautiful, gentle, and playful dog who loves her walks. She also enjoyed pampering and play sessions in the garden with Bonnie! York is a gorgeous place to visit, the local dog-friendly cafe was a fave and Bonnie said she felt 'Famous' going out with Lemon because of how much attention she got! Thank you for a great experience, we'd definitely recommend and sit again if the opportunity arises :)
