Gilly and Bill are wonderful Housesitters. They cared for our dog and two cats while we were away on holiday. We arrived home to the house immaculate and very happy animals. They were well organised and great to deal with. They had obviously had experience with housesitting and know what worked. I would highly recommend them to others.
