Eleaner and Jim were the perfect house sitters. They stayed at our house in England for 7 weeks and looked after our house, cat and garden. They were very friendly people and arranged to come a day before our departure so that we could explain how the house worked, which I think is essential. They kept I. Touch via email and we could therefore resolve any queries they had. They loved getting to know the people I. Our village and participating in the community events and they were found to be very interesting by everyone. They were extremely conscientious and reliable in all of the arrangements and when we returned the house was spotless and all of the lawns had been kept beautifully mown. Our cat which we had not had for long was absolutely fine and happy. We have kept in touch since as we got on so well and hope to visit them at some point in the future. I would strongly recommend them to anyone.
