Laura was amazing. Betty loved her and was in excellent hands. The house was in better shape than when we left. She’s welcome back anytime.

Sam and Laura came to house and dog sit for me February 2022. They are a very nice, responsible, professional couple. They looked after the dogs and house beautifully, the house was left tidier than they found it and I came back to happy dogs and a flower filled kitchen. They also kept a good check on my elderly mum who lives in an adjoining part of the house, they took time to spend time with her and invited her for Sunday lunch. Laura even came and picked us up from the airport because my car had broken down just before we left. I am extremely lucky Sam and Laura want to come back and sit for me again, I could not recommend them more highly. You will be lucky if you can have them as house sitters. Thank you so much Sam and Laura.

Why I want to house sit

I love people, animals, gardening and new places, so I can't think of anything better than helping people take care of their pets and properties while they're away. For me, there is no better feeling than knowing pet-parents have been able
