Dog Sitting in Saint Astier

Jeff and Norma were so great from start to finish. They kept us informed of their arrival plans and kept the house immaculately. In fact, we arrived back to freshly baked cupcakes (which my boys tell me are AMAZING - I am yet to cave in to temptation!) and freshly laundered and folded sheets. They kept us informed of everything and sent us regular updates and pictures of our dog. He looked so happy and has definitely made some friends by the time we returned. In fact, I think he has been pining for them since!! Thank yiu

Crème de la crème! Hands-down John and Susan were masterful caring for Karma our 8 year old Airedale who has quite the personality. They came a day early to review procedures and get acquainted with the house. They were exceptionally thorough, asked a lot of questions to gain clarify and to ensure expectations were met. And they were, in fact, they exceeded expectations! They managed Karma as if they were an extension of me. They sat with her in the middle of the night for hours during a thunderstorm. They cleaned and bathed her after she rolled in poop. They played relentless search games with her and took her for long walks daily. She looked like a happy girl in all the pictures. When we arrived back home, the house and gardens were immaculate. The plants were thriving quite well. John and Susan are amazing individuals all around They are fun to converse with, comfortable and easy to get along with, interested and interesting people. I highly recommend them for any kind of a sit with or without pets. I’ve already asked them to come back if they find themselves needing a place to stay, they’re always welcome!

It was so reassuring to come home to relaxed and happy cats and a clean and tidy home. Marie was calm and discreet and I appreciated the photos and updates she sent. Happy to recommend her.

We loved having Muriel looking after our cat for 2 weeks! She went above and beyond to provide the perfect house sit for us. Regular updates, great communication, and most importantly, Coco was happy and well looked after the whole time. We came back to a clean flat and felt we could truly relax from the time of confirmation of the sit to her handing back the keys. Highly recommend!

Margaret and Mike were my 1st sitters and I couldn’t found anyone better. They kept posting pictures of Tilly at different venues. House was wonderful on my return. Would definitely have them again.

We cannot thank Jenny and Glynn enough for the care they took of Tui and our home, enabling us to have a wonderfully relaxed trip. They are utterly professional whist being lovely warm friendly people. Efficient, calm, organised, tidy, considerate, we could not have left our home and precious dog in better hands. Nothing phased them.( tree down in the storm). Jenny cooked us a lovely lunch before we left and then left the most delicious supper on our arrival home. They were packed and left after handing over leaving us to settle back in. They sent lovely photos and news of Tui ( who had a wonderful time and was beautifully looked after). It was a pleasure to get to know them and we look forward to keeping in touch. Thank you Jenny and Glynn!

Sasha was warm and reliable, and took great care of Ofi and our apartment while we were away. Communication before and during her stay were great, we loved the updates/photos she sent, and she made sure the cat was comfortable and cared for. The apartment was spotless when we returned, and Sasha even left a little lovely gift for us. Would have her stay again! Merci beaucoup :)

Audrey is the best sitter I have ever had the privilege to experience. Extremely independent, self-sufficient, easy to communicate with, clean and tidy and a True Lover of Pups. My two doggies loved spending time with her. Thank you again Audrey... Merci Beaucoup

Cecilia and Eric were wonderful housesitters. Ollie became attached to them very quickly, and I could tell he was being well looked after. He enjoyed his long walks, runs with Eric and evening cuddles on the sofa. Communication was excellent, I was sent lots of photo and video updates and the house was left clean and tidy. They kept my many vegetable beds and trees well watered and I even arrived back to delicious home made Argentinian empanadas! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cecilia and Eric. Thanks, and enjoy the rest of your Portugal adventure this summer.

Kelvin was a Godsend! I was coming and going from home to England , and Italy and Kelvin settled in so well. as he is such a tough athlete with his bike and running shoes, he would sprint,walk or cycle the 7kms to my garden to feed Tom,Gingernuts and Tigger and the 2 baby tortoises now in their garden pen. He is very self sufficient and explored the Hérault valley on his bike. Very calm, very quiet we would be able to work alongside each other in my office area or upstairs living area. Stan was very smitten by Kelvin and for that I was always grateful. I would love him to return one day!
