Dog Sitting in Herbrandston

Stephanie & David were the perfect house sitters. Our little dog Ocean was extremely well looked after and from all the lovely photos and videos we were sent during the sit, we can see he got to go on lots of lovely walks and adventures. Stephanie & David were also very accommodating in that they agreed to add an extra day onto their sit so that we could attend a family party back in Scotland which was greatly appreciated. They also went above and beyond by cooking us a lovely dinner for our return after our very long drive back from Scotland! The house was also left immaculate (floors mopped, towels etc were all washed for us coming home). I wouldn't hesitate to have Stephanie & David back to sit with us again and would recommend as outstanding housesitters to anyone lucky enough to have them in their home.

We were so pleased to welcome Clara and Ian again. They look after everything so well. Both cats had enjoyed being spoiled! The house was immaculate on our return. We can certainly recommend them as excellent sitters. Thank you both!

Gillian and Robert treated our dog, Blue like a Prince 🙂 we had regular updates and they followed all our requests for his care and happiness (and he looked very happy in the updates 🙂). Our house was also nice and tidy when we returned from our trip. Communication was great before and during our trip.

Sally and Geoff's second sit for us of the summer and because they know us, our house and (most importantly) our dogs so well now it felt rather like welcoming them home. They seem to have a few favourite places in Richmond now so we were treated to photos of Maximus and Enzo out and about, enjoying life, being treated like little princes and (almost) forgetting that we even exist. For us, the peace of mind is priceless and we couldn't recommend Sally and Geoff more highly. So thanks to them again for looking after our boys so well - and also for the clean house and lovely quiche - and we'll hopefully catch up another time in the not too distant future.

John was such a great Housesitter who was perfect for our circumstances. Whilst away he was considerate towards our elderly neighbours who needed help and he did so in such a kind and thoughtful manner. We returned to a beautifully clean and tidy house and a very happy cat.

From the moment we met Sheila and Gareth we knew that our 2 cocker spaniels, Josh and Oscar, would be in capable hands and we left the next morning for our holiday knowing that we didn’t have to worry about them. Sheila kept us up to date with details and photographs of walks and quiet time ( dogs snuggled up with Gareth on sofas or beds ! ). When we returned home, our house was spotless, Gareth had mowed the back lawn and Sheila had cooked food for us. Would not hesitate in recommending Sheila and Gareth for future dog sits.

I had a positive experience with Sinead as my cat Mia's pet-sitter for a 6-day period. Sinead approached her role with great responsibility and was helpful throughout. She brought a friend along, as we agreed, making me feel assured that Mia would have the attention she needed. Sinead's flexibility was evident when she arrived a day before the pet-sitting began. This allowed her to familiarize herself with the flat, and more importantly, get acquainted with Mia. I appreciated this extra effort, especially as I had an early morning train to catch the next day. The initial nights proved challenging as Mia was hesitant around a new person. Despite the unusual meowing during the first 2-3 nights, Sinead persevered and eventually succeeded in winning over Mia's trust. It was heartening to know that she cared enough to make the extra effort, and it paid off as Mia became more comfortable and content. Upon my return, I found a happy and normal cat, a testament to Sinead's dedication. Additionally, the cleanliness of my home was maintained, reflecting her thoroughness in both pet care and housekeeping. Overall, I highly recommend Sinead as a pet-sitter for her commitment, flexibility, and genuine care for the well-being of my beloved cat Mia.

Heather and Tom returned to our house in order, this time, to look after just Rory. It was lovely to see them again and to catch up a little. Rory was immediately chatty and completely at ease in their presence. I like to think he recognised their sensitive and gentle ways, knowing he was safe and would be much loved and entertained. I too felt totally happy and reassured that Heather and Tom would instinctively know how to handle Rory and allow him to bond in his own time. Indeed, within the hour before I left, he was playing and wallowing in their attention and affection. When I returned 48 hours later (they had left a short time before) he was utterly settled and contented. Heather and Tom are superb sitters. They made a very long and tedious journey to help me out and suffered the inevitable traffic hold-ups that typify a hot Bank Holiday drive. Everything was immaculate when I got back. They had taken on the job of watering my plant pots as well as taking care of domestic tasks so I had a lazy evening. I recommend them highly as house and pet sitters and hope they will be able to manage other oportunities to come my way!

Ruth and Paul are return sitters and are always welcome as they are so reliable, kind and caring. The dogs love them so much and were so excited to see them again. Ruth and Paul follow all our rules and look after everything so well - the house is clean and tidy and they go above and beyond in their care of the animals, the garden and the house. Thanks so much guys - you make our holidays a relaxing experience and we are very grateful xx

Joanne and Paul were just wonderful sitters for Freya and my home and it was so nice to have a bit of time to meet them, and share a dinner the night before as well as having them drop off and pick me up at the airport! Freya was obviously so well cared for as she didn't even care about me coming home! The house was spotless, and they even had to rally through a couple of household bumps for me with absolutely no complaint and such helpfulness that it made it a relief for me to be away, knowing my cat and home were in good and capable hands. Thank you so much for being here, loving on Freya and I'd love to have you back anytime! you may need to come in the winter sometime to see the snow in Tahoe!
