My experience
10+ years

Rachael looked after Ruth’s pets & home
We met Rachael through her work and we got chatting about caring for my dogs while on holiday, I have used THS a number of times and she explained she had done sits in the past, we arranged for her to come and meet them, Rachael has now looked after our home and dogs Dexter (Labrador) and Stanley (border terrier) a number of time for full week holidays, nights at weddings and weekends. Dexter has epilepsy and requires regular meds twice a day and special care if he has a seizure. So having someone responsible and trustworthy is important to us, we found this in Rachael. You can see the connection she has with you and your animals immediately she is naturally caring and intuitive to people and animals individual need, she kept our dogs very happy, lots of walks play and cuddles, they love her. We feel very grateful to have met someone like Rachael who treats our dogs and home as we would. This has lead to a relationship we truly value and a person we would happily recommend.
