Dog Sitting in Montacute

I cannot recommend Neil and Fiona enough, so if they apply for a sit then please don’t hesitate to accept their application! Neil kept in touch from the moment I accepted their application and we liaised a lot prior to the sit so we all knew each other’s plans and I felt completely comfortable with our plans. We were able to spend time together on the day of their arrival, prior to when we left for our holiday. We got on really well and so I was more that delighted, and relaxed, to leave my home and my precious girl in their care. During the sit Neil and Fiona kept in touch and it was lovely to receive news from home with lovely photos of Sophie Louise and to hear a little of their adventures of where they’d visited during their stay. That meant a lot! We returned to an immaculate home and a happy and contented Sophie Louise. There were a few special touches which were lovely and after the nightmare journey home, meant so much! Thank you Neil and Fiona. I would welcome you back any time you’re next in the UK. I 100% recommend you to anyone who receives your application for a sit, without hesitation.

Cozette and Roger were great cat sitters. They were communicative throughout our trip and kept us updated with regular messages and photos. I felt completely comfortable leaving our home and Fergal in their care and Fergal was happy and relaxed when we got home. I would highly recommend Cozette and Roger to anyone looking for a cat sitter. They are the perfect choice for anyone who wants their cat to be well-cared for while they are away.

Facu and Manu were superb sitters, we would like to give them six stars! They are a kind, earnest and sensible young couple who will do their very best to look after your home and pets. We were able to meet them in person prior to our 2-month holiday, and we were completely confident to have them looking after our home and dog (shared between them and a neighbour). All our instructions were noted and actioned. They communicated regularly via email regarding our postal mail and general updates. They sent us some delightful photos of our pet. As a final bonus for us, they left us several homemade Argentinian treats! Finally, they left the house spotless (even better than when we left it!) If you have the chance to have Manu and Facu sit for you, grab them.

Chris & Alan are excellent House Sitters we were just so lucky to have them stay. Thank you for choosing us! We appreciated that they agreed to spend a night with us before we left for our trip the next morning, consequently we headed off very happy and confident leaving our beautiful fur babies with Chris and Alan. Chris sent lots of photos with a daily update which I love, thanks Chris. We arrived home to very happy excited fur babies and our house was spotless. We would love to have them back and we wish them well with their travels and future house sits.

Debra looked after our two cats with such care and was a fantastic house sitter. Our cats were happy and chatty when we returned, the house was gleaming and the way Debra got to know our cats for a short stay was amazing. Thank you for communicating so well before, during and when leaving. You gave us such peace of mind while away.

This is tbe 2nd time Emily and Dan have dog-sat for us! I recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for reliable, friendly and very competent in looking after our house and Harry our elderly dog. We would welcome them back anytime for another sit!

Jo looked after our House and cat Tabby for 2 weeks, she was fantastic. From the first contact she communicated regularly and we felt confident in her sitting. On our return Tabby was happy and healthy, the house clean and my plants looked more healthy than before we left! She very kindly cooked us a lovely dinner on our return which I much appreciated after the long flight. We would be very happy to have Jo sit for us again.

We have been home a few days and am still overwhelmed about everything Mark and Julie did for us! We went through all that needed to be done the previous day of them staying and had dinner together. We found them to be the most interesting, genuine, kind people, so felt very comfortable leaving. While away we knew they were more than competent and would communicate and do what we would want if a situation arose, which they did! One of our dogs was sick, they took him to our vet, let us know and picked him up the next day. Our Vet informed us they were wonderful and we are very grateful. We have dogs, cats , 2 calves, 2 Ponies, baby lamb still on bottle, chooks and a cocky, all animal area's were clean and tidy, they got a new bale of hay and tied cover over it. It was the most organised it's ever been! We arrived home to an immaculate house, flowers, Pikelets jam and cream. So appreciated as we had the 1 am flight and then two and a half hours drive home! We have 4 cats who are timid but were all inside and as relaxed as I have ever seen and our very attention seeking dog was laying on lounge, head on Mark! I also have to mention Mark cleaned our glass in our fire place which we have tried but never came up sparkling like this! Needless to say we are so appreciative and happy with Mark and Julie, anyone who is lucky enough to get them will be able to relax and enjoy the experience of having this couple! Thank you Mark and Julie, happy travels!

Meg looked after our two cats for around 10 days and was excellent! Meg kindly agreed to meet up beforehand to be introduced to the cats and get to know the flat. During the sit, Meg was responsive and sent updates, looked after the cats well and also took great care of our flat and left it nice and clean for our return. Would definitely recommend Meg and would love for her to come and do another sit.

This was the second time that Lara & Braydon sat for us (the previous sit was in November 2023) but this time it was for a month rather than a fortnight. All of the things I wrote about them before applied this time around too, only they were even better. For starters, they did a lot more around the house and garden including cleaning, planting and mowing. Unfortunately Lara had covid for a week early on, but Brayden still took the dogs out daily for walks. Then towards the end of the sit they came down in the morning and found one of our dogs (Iolo) seriously ill due to suspected poisoning. They immediately drove him to our local vet and phoned us on the way, and very efficiently dealt with the vet including taking Iolo to an emergency overnight veterinary practice some distance away and collecting him early the following morning, and paying the emergency vet's bills (for which we reimbursed them of course). Once Iolo was back home they administered medicine for the rest of the week, looked after him and kept notes of everything for us. We cannot thank them enough - their prompt actions almost certainly saved Iolo's life. We would have no hesitation in recommending Lara and Brayden and would love it if they could sit for us again in the future.
