Dog Lovers
Introduction
We live in a beautiful Old Rectory in a lovely rural village near Towcester. We have recently moved back from living abroad with our three dogs. We are looking for pet sitters to come and be with them when we go away as we don't want to put them through any trauma after their journey back to England. They are all very friendly, our golden retriever was a rescue dog we found in Kuala Lumpur who is very happy and calm when he is at home and his routine is kept the same.

We live in a 5 bedroom period house on the edge of a village with views out to fields. Lovely walks straight from the garden gate. Towcester is a 8 minute drive away, with Northampton, Banbury and Milton Keynes all easily within 30 minutes drive.

The dogs all have breakfast in the morning and need one good walk a day and then need to be fed again late afternoon. They love to be with people who love them and can give them some love and attention.

We have all absolutely adored our time here and don't want to leave! Prior to the pet sit we had lots of communication including a visit to the house to meet Mary-Jane, Kit and the dogs. They are both so warm and welcoming and made us feel so at ease in their wonderful home. We were shown where everything is and went on a walk with the dogs so we could be completely ready for our stay. On our arrival we were met by their lovely cleaner Debbie, who showed us, again, everything we could need for our stay. The 2 dogs, Zia and Bagel are so easy to look after and very sweet chilled dogs. We cannot wait to sit in the future and highly recommend it.

We had a great time looking after Zia and Bagel for a few days. Walks in the countryside were the perfect antidote to Christmas indulgence! Both dogs are good company - well behaved and friendly and Bagel is super cuddly. Mary-Jane and Kit were very welcoming and have a lovely, comfortable home. Everything was very relaxed and we especially enjoyed hanging out in the kitchen with the warmth of the aga. Highly recommend this sit.

Thank you for showing us the local walks and for the lovely meal.. so kind of you. Hope to see you again one day :)

I can’t express how much I enjoyed this Houesit.. Both Kit and Mary-Jane are lovely people and their home is just beautifully positioned in an quiet and idillic setting bordering open fields and countryside. Zia, Bagel and little Digby were great fun to spend time with and I spent many hours just enjoying walking with them in the many nearby fields, (where thanks to Kit they amazingly ignored any sheep:) playing with them in the garden and simply relaxing with them in the ‘snug’ in the evenings. They really are beautiful dogs and gave me a lot of joy :) The house itself is very comfortable, well equipped and a lovely space to spend time in. The garden has outdoor seating /dining and is also a great spot to enjoy. If that wasn’t enough, nearby (a walk through the fields) you’ve a great village pub that serves good food and where the dogs get biscuits too:)…And you’ve Towcester a shot drive away for coffee shops and shopping and a swimming pool and gym. This is a really peaceful and friendly village/ hamlet sit - and one I can highly recommend. Kit and Mary-Jane, thank you so much for trusting me to look after Zia, Bagel, Digby and your beautiful home for you. I’d very happily sit again. Warm regards Jo

Benji and Bagel were a delight and lovely companions during the festive season. Our walks in the rolling hills in crisp cold air were enjoyed by all of us and returning to your beautiful house and a roaring log fire was a real treat. Lovely location, gorgeous dogs, enjoyable sit.
