I was very happy with the care Terry and Maura gave my dog and my house. It was lovely to come home to a clean house, happy dog and clean sheets and towels!

Amazing experience having Terry and Maura look after our two cats while we were away! Great communication, they sent us lots of lovely photos which we really appreciated, and we were able to totally relax knowing our girls were looked after. Came home to two happy and healthy cats and a clean and tidy house! Absolutely recommend Terry and Maura and look forward to welcoming them back next time :)
