Rob and Kate did a fantastic job of looking after our 2 dogs while we were away for 3 weeks in October. We met them before we went and on the day we were leaving Rob dropped us to the station. We had regular updates about the dogs and they walked them a couple of times a day and medication for one of them was regularly given as per instructions. Our dogs looked very relaxed when we got home and I think they were very comfortable with Rob and Kate. We would definitely ask Rob and Kate to do some more house/dog sitting in the future.
