Our experience

We have thoroughly enjoyed pet sitting in many different parts of England, through mindmyhouse.com. We enjoyed the challenge of caring for multiple dogs and chickens in severe winter conditions in Wales for 3 weeks; the balancing act of 4

We have had some fine housesitters, but I have to say that Julie and Mick have rather topped the lot. They are quite simply great. Practical, friendly, truthful, meticulous. The dogs loved them. The hens were in perfect condition, and the house was spotless. Additionally they were great company on the handover days. They put up with the most atrocious weather and not only survived but emerged cheerful and even seemed to have enjoyed themselves. What more can I say? They should get six stars in every category and a few more besides.
