Geoff & Judy looked after Louise’s pets & home
Geoff/Jude house-sat my 2 dogs over a period of 3 weeks in September 2024. To provide a little background, my dogs aren’t the easiest to manage. They are anxious and have trust issues because they were pups during COVID-19 and didn’t get any of the required socialisation. This wasn’t an issue for them; they gained their trust very quickly, and by the time they left, they were their loyal canines on their best behavior. We also left them in charge of the house and cars, there were no issues at all. They are 100% trustworthy and honest, extremely capable and experienced, nothing phases them. I would recommend them in a heartbeat and am happy to take any reference calls. If they were based closer to me (I’m in Australia, and they live in NZ), they would be fully booked all the time across my dogs and my friend’s pets.
