We have now gained much valuable experience in pet/house sitting with THS and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! It has been a real priviledge to meet so many wonderful pet parents and their adorable pets. We have enjoyed looking after

We have known Karen and Dan for five years. They are intelligent, sensible and dependable individuals. We know their own home is well maintained, clean and immaculately presented. Their garden is always neat and tidy. Dan is very practical and completes many DIY tasks himself. They are a hard working couple and we would not hesitate to trust them with our house, garden and pets.
