Aidan and I both loved our sit with Tracey and Paul! They were so helpful and welcoming from the very beginning! Their family were all so kind and we loved getting to know them. Betsy and Tilly were great pets to look after and their house is in such a beautiful location. Would definitely recommend!!

This was my first time doing housesitting for this beautiful family. Tracy is a very beautiful woman, who knows about many subjects, is super friendly and loves meeting new people and new experiences. She picked me at the train station when I arrived and that same day she was returning from a trip with her friends, and so everything was arranged to receive me at the station and at her house. She was a little afraid that her dog Betsy would have a hard time getting used to new people but the truth is that it was very easy for us to bond. Tilly the oldest dog, has a great personality and is Tracy's number one fan (which I find very beautiful) the two of them have a very nice bond. It was very nice looking after both of them, plus the walks near and around their house are beautiful (highly recommended for someone who likes nature) and also Silkeston in Barnsley surprised me again with its beauty. I arrived a few days before they left to connect with the dogs and show me their routines and it was very easy to connect with the house, the place and the dogs. At the end of my stay they offered me to stay with them for a few days and it was a big fun, they took me to visit secret and beautiful places that if I had gone alone as a tourist I don't think I would have been able to see them. Tracy's family is a delight, her daughters and her husband Paul are incredibly beautiful people with big hearts and you can see and feel that. 100% recommend being able to share with them and housesitting too. Thank you so much for everything! I am eternally grateful to them.

It was a delight taking care of Tilly. She is truly adorable. The family was exceedingly welcoming, feed us an amazing dinner before their trip, and got us informed with all we needed to know. The area is stunning and the neighbors warm and helpful. Must mention the chickens and garden, really got into both.

Tilly the dog of Tracey and her family is a cute Tibetan Terrier that is very easy to look after. They all live in a modern renovated, comfortable and spacious house with a vast garden with flowers, fruit trees and vegetable gardens plus a beautiful view of the woods. The surroundings of the small town have a lot to offer, be it nature, art or interesting towns. We enjoyed our house sit thoroughly and as in such a case ... the two weeks went far too fast! Thank you for your trust and we would love to come back one day!
