Why we want to house sit
We find house-sitting is a great way to see the world. We like staying in houses when we travel, and we love taking care of pets.
Our experience
We have had a few pet-sitting experiences in Canada, the US and England. We've gone as long as five weeks (sitting a dog and six cats). We help to look after our neighbour's dog, and we have spent three weeks looking after a cat. We walk dogs regularly and are extremely sensitive to the animals' needs. We also understand that we're caring for someone's home and respect our hosts' property.

Peter and Carol were wonderful! They communicated with me before and during the stay (enough and not overwhelming), were very flexible and accommodating when my departure date changed, and were self-sufficient despite us having no overlap. They kept my dog so active, I think he will miss them more than when I was gone! They were self-sufficient, kept my home tidy upon my return, and even left goodies for me. Will be more than happy to have them again.

Peter and Carol have been taking care of my cats and house for over 10 days. They were very friendly and we had a nice chat when we met. During the holidays they’ve been always communicating and sending pictures of the cats. When I came back the house was super tidy, clean and they left a surprise for us, thank you so much! But the best part is that Ares and Noa were really calmed and happy! I would definitely recommend Peter and Carol again! Thank you so much for your kindness and patience and for being such a great sitters XX

Carol and peter are a lovely couple who gave us the peace of mind to enjoy a lovely holiday. Our sit was not an easy one our dogs are never left and the older one hank is very needy and over attached! He howled for the first few days and pined terribly, they were really patient and persevered despite how exhausting it made it for them. They left the house beautifully clean.
I would have no hesitation in leaving my home and pets with them again, although I’m not sure they’d want to!! Thankyou carol and Pete we are very grateful- Organised

Response from Peter & Carol
Thanks for the great review, Jill. We did enjoy your pet sit. Hank took a few days to get used to us, but was fine after that. He and George are both real characters, and we enjoyed meeting yourself and Justin.
All the best,
Carol
