Alice, Marcus and Holly were very good sitters. Prior to the sit there was good communication and they arrived exactly as planned. They kept in touch

Alice and Marcus were excellent sitters who took good care of our dog and our house. I would strongly recommend them.

Alice and Marcus (and Hollie!) came and met my animals prior to the sit date which was very helpful as we weren’t going to meet at the time. It gave me the

Alice & Marcus looked after Maia’s pets & home

Alice and her daughter live next door to us and have looked after our budgies for us. They were so reliable and that gave us the peace of mind to relax into our holiday and not worry. They managed to follow our bird's complex feeding schedule perfectly and spent lots of time with them. They were read to, sung to and generally provided with lots of stimulating company. Our house was well looked after too and everything was left clean and tidy. Definitely recommend Alice and family to any other pet owners looking for a sitter. They're lovely, kind, reliable, tidy and will spoil your pet with lots of love.

Why we want to house sit

As a small family, we like to explore different parts of the UK, but the main attraction is the possibility of enjoying animal company in the new setting and on walks. Holly (our 10 year old daughter) loves a mountain or a hike or a run on
