Noela & Paul have looked after our animals (2 dogs and a cat) twice in the last 18 months and we cannot speak highly enough of them as trusted house sitters. They went the extra mile to make sure that our furry family were happy in our absence by following the established routines and taking them to their familiar walking places, never leaving them at home for long periods of time - I think they took them everywhere with them - they thoroughly enjoyed teaching our young Springer Spaniel pup to enjoy the water by spending extra time playing with him at the beach. Both the dogs were totally devoted to Noela and Paul on our return and sat contentedly at their feet rather than greeting us with their usual excitement. The house and garden were immaculate, there were fresh flowers in the vases, they had prepared a meal for us to enjoy with them before they left and even gave us a thank you gift! They sent us regular updates and photos when we were away for 6 weeks last year so that we were at ease knowing that our animals were doing just fine. They have become firm friends and we have enjoyed their company on several occasions since the house sitting. We were most disappointed to hear that they will not be available to us this year, but hopefully they will come back to NZ after their UK experience. We have no hesitation in recommending Noela & Paul to anyone needing excellent care taken of their much loved animals and property.
