Dog Sitting in Valley

We were so pleased that Michelle was able to return for a second sit while we were away on our annual family holiday week. We fixed the dates & times a few weeks ahead, and fine-tuned small details nearer the time. Michelle looked after our home and Willow with respect and kindness and is supremely organised. We returned to a clean, tidy home and a happy dog. We feel very lucky to have found Michelle and would be very happy to recommend her.

Emily was a fantastic house sitter, she was reliable, efficient and incredibly accommodating and my dogs love her. Ted was also a very patient house guest with my two dogs who can be quite demanding of his attention, but Emily kept me informed the whole time of how they were getting on with plenty of pictures. We had a delay in flights and Emily stayed a few hours longer than originally planned which is very kind and we returned to an immaculate home complete with a lovely bunch of flowers. Thank you very much, you are welcome to stay again anytime x

I was a little nervous of having our first sit done by a family with young children but I need not have worried. Everything went to plan even with them accommodating a really early start on our side. Lots of communication through out which made me feel like the house and cats were in safe hands. Hose was left tidy for us and bread and milk which was very welcome as we had not a thing in when we got there. Our house has a lot to take in to manage it but they seemed to find it all very easy!! I’ve already asked if they would be happy to return for a longer sit with our two dogs. ☺️

Dave and Sheila have, once more, been the perfect Zeewoi. Firstly, it is obvious that all three of our dogs love them! Secondly, Dave and Sheila put our dogs first, taking them on fantastic and varied walks, and making sure they receive plenty of fuss and attention. Thirdly, Dave is great at providing just the right level of communication when we are away; the odd query if we have forgotten to leave a note, and updates on what Dave, Sheila and the dogs have been up to. Lastly, Dave and Sheila have (again) left the house in an immaculate state; on our return everything was clean and tidy, our plants watered and the lawn mowed. We could not have asked for more, and would love to have David and Sheila sitting our house and dogs again.

This was our first experience with house sitters and we were delighted with Jo and Katie! They were easy to communicate with, clean, tidy and so conscientious in the care taken of our animals. Would highly recommend! x

I wouldn’t hesitate in asking them to sit for us again. We felt our home and pooch was in safe hands. They were more than accommodating with timings, kept in good communication with lots of pics and left the house in great condition. Bailey was a happy dog when we arrived home.

First off, Carys is absolutely LOVELY and so it's difficult (and uncomfortable) to write a negative review, but for us, this house sit was disappointing. We had originally advertised for a cat sitter, but our circumstances changed prior to the sit (no cat now), and instead we needed someone to be there just to water the plants. We have two well stocked courtyards of plants back and front of the house. Carys was happy to do this. The brief was to water and deadhead the plants DAILY. We returned to find the plants in the front courtyard absolutely parched. Soil completely dried out in most pots, plants limp and most of the flowers in our two window boxes dead. Nothing had been deadheaded. The front courtyard certainly hadn't been watered in a while. (The back courtyard at least had been watered, which was good). Whilst Carys had left the house relatively tidy, it hadn't been cleaned (ie: cleaning products used to wipe down the kitchen surfaces, cooker, bathroom, wash the floor, polish furniture etc). After being in the house for 3 weeks we would expect the house sitter to do a thorough clean throughout the house for our return. Not leave us to have to start doing it when we arrive back. It was disappointing. Carys is lovely and had been kind enough to leave us a note, flowers and a bottle of wine, but I feel she needs a better understanding of what taking care of a home fully entails. I'm sure this will be a learning curve for her, and our comments will be taken forward for future sits. Carys we really wish you well.

Jonathan and Nahraine are the Rolls Royce of house sitters. Mao, our cat who can be quite discerning, seemed to adopt them instantly and got so much attention in the two weeks they stayed that he now looks put out if I leave the room for more than 5 minutes. They also took great care of our guinea pig and sent regular updates of how it was all going which was very reassuring for us. The house was left in immaculate condition for which we were incredibly grateful for. We could not recommend them highly enough and they are both such lovely people that we will definitely be trying to book them again in the future.

I have had the pleasure of using Nicolette before. Nicolette is just amazing. Nothing is too much trouble and after a great first night with her making sure she knew where everything was as i had renovated the house since her last visit we had a great meal together and every

I was very happy with Joan and my mistake was not asking if she had previously looked after a puppy. They are certainly more time consuming, require short walks, playtime and learning rules! I hope you are not too exhausted? That said everyone survived and i was grateful for the opportunity to attend the Olympics for a few days, so thank you Joan, much appreciated and leaving the house so pristine!
