  Susan was the loveliest pet sitter we've had. We fetched her from the station and instantly warmed to her. She bought us a calendar and a little toy car for my son who she had never met. We spent the day together in the local area and then did an evening BBQ. Sue left the place immaculate with treats for us to come back to. Our cat was adored and we were in contact daily. We were so sad to say goodbye and hope our dates match for next year!

  Words can not really express how great Sue is!
  This was our first time leaving the house with a house sitter and Sue has made the whole process so easy - from her initial contact to request the sit, followed up by email and phone contact. We really felt comfortable about leaving things in her very capable hands by the time the sit came around.
  Sue really took time before coming, to read up on the information regarding our home and animals and this along with her warm and caring personality made her visit feel very personal - it was like leaving the house and animals with a friend.
  During her sit Sue took excellent care of everything we'd discussed and a few unexpected things including a crotchety cat needing a daily tablet and spending time with my elderly mother in law who lives next door - above and beyond anything we could have wished for.
  Sue kept us updated with pictures and emails so we didn't worry at all while on holiday.
  Upon our return the house was very clean and tidy - Sue even brought us some Daffodils to enjoy (which we are, along with the Guernsey Gache which was delicious!)
  The animals and people in this family have really enjoyed getting to know Sue, and I'm afraid to say we have been completely spoilt by the absolutely fantastic job that this wonderful lady does - our next sitter will have much to live up to! We'd welcome Sue back to house sit, or simply for a visit anytime - Thank you so much Sue, you are amazing.

  A big thank you to Liz for such a fabulous review. I was made to feel very welcome, by Liz and her family, being collected from the train station, enjoying a wonderful meal prepared by Liz the evening before they left on their holiday and even giving up her comfortable bed for me and sleeping on the sofa bed, then turning out in the cold and rain late at night to collect me after I'd had an evening out. Their comfortable house was like a home from home, the varied animals were fun and interesting to look after, and I enjoyed taking pictures of them, to send to Liz. Her mother in law also made me very welcome, encouraged me to accompany her on shopping expeditions, treated me very generously, and was great company while the family were away. So, actually, I think I was spoilt by this lovely family, became very fond of their animals and would happily pet sit for them again.

  We were delighted that Susan made contact with us- she reassured us from our first telephone discussion that she would be giving our dog Bert the best care and attention. We enjoyed meeting Sue when she came the day before our trip as we had to leave for an early flight. She accommodated Berts idiosyncrasies- e.g his morning cuddle in the bed continued while we were away as well as making sure he had plenty of walks. Sue gave us a daily update which gave us added reassurance while we were away. She also took good care of our home and we are very happy to recommend her to others as well (as hoping she will return to us in the future.) Thanks Sue

  Response from Susan

  I was made to feel very welcome by Elaine and Steve, who kindly collected me from the airport , treated me to lunch, then left me a complimentary bottle of wine, too, and even paid for my taxi back to the train station at the end of the sit as they were unavailable. I loved looking after Bert, in their wonderful village location, enjoying his company and scenic walks with him, meeting the friendly villagers, swimming in the village pool,and my bus rides to various places. It was an enjoyable house/pet sit. I hope to return. Thanks Elaine, Steve and of course, Bert.
