Our experience

Mark in particular is a keen gardener and I have picked up a few things over the years! We haven't owned a dog together but we have looked after friends' dogs from time to time over the past 20 years (including having dogs stay with us

Bernadette and Mark looked after our two spaniels and hens wonderfully when we were away, despite a very rushed handover in a 'at times' complicated house

Bernie & Mark looked after my dog Magenta in San Bartolo, Peru, when my wife and I were on a trip. She was always very happy to meet them, and enjoyed the walks by the beach they had together. Mark and Bernie treated her with great care, and kept the house and kitchen tidy. Magenta was always well fed and did a lot of exercise/playing during that time. I was very happy to see how well they got along when I came back.
