Mike and Sue were a lovely couple and very helpful. Arrived promptly and absorbed our instructions. They did a few jobs for us while we were away which was great. Arrived home to the lawns having been mown and all the dogs Ok. Thank you !

Trust worthy couple looking for pet sit
Ziggy and Stardust are normally very cautious around new people and somehow Donna and Darren completely won them over! I have never seen them so settled, calm and content when we have arrived home from a holiday! We were able to meet Donna and Darren for a video chat and then in person before the sit started and it was clear immediately that our cats and home would be well looked after whilst we were away. Whilst we were away they kept us up to date as much as was needed and when we returned home I'm sure the house was cleaner than when we left! We are already planning another sit from them for next summer and my only hesitation to recommend them is that other people will 'steal' them from us!..

Quiet, gentle female sitter
Deena and Brent looked after our dogs and house with such love that we have asked them to come back again in August and are so excited that they have agreed. I have absolutely nothing but great things to say about their genuine empathy for our dogs. Our house was spotless and the dogs were so relaxed when we got home. We felt so comfortable leaving them in charge. It allowed us to enjoy our break away knowing that we had left them in such capable hands. If I could give them a 6 star review I would !!!!

Jon and Jill. House sitters and pet carers from Auckland, New Zealand.
I was so delighted with Gillian and Jon, they are both friendly and easy going, my cats immediately warmed to them and I felt so secure leaving them with my pets and my home. The place was in better condition than when I left it and my cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. I can't thank them enough, and would have them sit again in a heartbeat. 100% recommend!!! Thank you Gill and Jon!

Kind, respectful, experienced and trustworthy professionals
When James and Ervin arrived, or little dog ran up and greeted them with a wagging tail. I knew from their reaction that these two were the perfect house sitters. They reassured us that things would be fine, they sent me a photo of our dog looking very relaxed and a photo of my tree peony flower as it burst open. They are great people and wonderful house/pet sitters. Would absolutely recommend them and have them house sit again.

Experienced, trustworthy, flexible, pet loving Kiwi/Brit couple.
We feel extremely lucky that Carole and Paul came to stay and look after our dog Sammy whilst we were away. Unusually we were able to meet in person beforehand which was brilliant. As soon as i met them i knew Sammy and the house were in excellent hands. Carole updated me occasionally to reassure me all was well and sent pictures of Sammy on lovely walks. When we returned the house was spotless and we were totally spoilt as they had left us some homemade soda bread and beautiful kiwi gifts. Carole had washed the bedding and towels and Paul had even mowed the lawn!! We are extremely grateful for the love and care they gave Sammy and i imagine he was very disappointed to see them go. I hope that if they are back in the UK they will consider staying at Stable Cottage again. Thank you Carole and Paul for everything.

We were very pleased with John. He looked after the dogs well and the house was left tidy. John even mowed the lawns for us. We would definitely use John again! Thanks John!
Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
Hope and Julian were great sitters for our cat. They are easygoing and communicate in a timely manner. Our cat seemed very happy and our home was clean and in great shape upon our return. It was great having Julian and Hope here and we highly recommend them for any sit. Great people!
