Our experience

We enjoy the company of all animals and have in the past taken care of cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, fish and horses. Velcro our last cat was with us for 17 years and required twice daily needles for 7 years and extensive care in the last

Louise and Martin were the perfect house and pet sitters in every way. They cared for our dog Pippa lovingly and looked after our fish expertly too. Not

    A big thank for Louise and Martin for Sonny sitting and looking after our house. They kept us updated on everything and left our house immaculate. As first

    We are "over the moon" with what Louise and Martin did for us during the sit for the month of July 2022. Our three cats, Chuckie, Bonny and Clyde, loved them

    I have been very fortunate to have Martin and Louise house sit and dog babysit on two occasions. Wow, wow, wow! They take the responsibility of looking after your home, and your "furry children" to the next level. On both occasions, they have gone above and beyond to ensure I knew my "Coco" (3 yr old husky mix) was being treated like the princess she has become :) Additionally, they went completely out of their way to repair (and I am not kidding here) my back yard fence that had been broken by a fallen tree, my refrigerator leak, my gas oven thermometer, my basement lights which had not worked on one side since I purchased the house, and kindly took down an unsightly structure in my garage( which I talked about hiring someone to do) the previous owner had built, then reorganized my tools! I was gobsmacked. I now look to book vacations around their house/dog sitting availability. It is one thing to have a couple come in and know all will be as you left it, but to come back to major improvements??? Who gets that? I would recommend these two amazing, responsible, awesome people to anyone and I would just add - get in line :) Thanks Martin and Louise, you are beyond wonderful, and Coco and I are beyond grateful for the kindness and generosity you have shown on the last two house sits.

    Why we want to house sit

    We have always taken every opportunity to travel, even when our children were very small, and now that we are free to do so often we prefer to settle in and get to know a place as opposed to travelling through as a tourist, and house
