  We were so lucky to get Ursula and Grant as our house and doggie sitters! A warm and friendly responsible couple, who cared for our dog and home superbly over a two week period. Communication from the beginning was excellent, and throughout our time away we received regular updates on how everything was going back home, which were much appreciated.
  The care of our dog Bentley was outstanding. Involving medications for various conditions, playtime, exercise and cuddles too. He visited a different place with them daily, and will miss them for sure!
  Our home was equally well cared for, and left immaculate, from the car we left for their use, throughout the house and also the garden with a freshly mowed lawn.
  
  I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend Ursula and Grant for any house and pet sitting opportunity, and we would love to have them back again should the opportunity arise. 5*'s all round, and we would give them more if we could!

  Response from Ursula & Grant

  Thank you Vanessa, for this fabulous review. We thoroughly enjoyed looking after Bentley. He was a friendly, loving and fun dog to have around. He was great on outings in the car, and loved joining us on beach walks and well behaved at the cafe stops as well. We miss him lots and would definitely care for him again if we are in your neck of the woods again. All the best.

  Just exceptional - what lovely people ..... Ursula and Grant were extremely well organised and self sufficient and I knew they were going to be 100% reliable from my first contact with them.
  
  Ursula and Grant were not fazed by anything, they arrived in a snow storm which caused travel chaos but they took everything in their stride.
  
  It was obvious that the had a great affinity with animals as the dogs and cat took to them straight away and were very relaxed in their company. Unfortunately, one of the dogs became ill with a tummy upset on the evening before I left but Ursula and Grant handled the situation very calmly. After my departure, they sent regular updates and photos and very kindly took the sick dog to the vet for treatment and then kept me informed, finally letting me know that my beloved dog had recovered. This was very reassuring and allowed me to enjoy my holiday in the knowledge that all was well back at home.
  
  The dogs, in fact, had an amazing time whilst I was away as Ursula and Grant took them out on many day trips including the beach on a couple of occasions and also to some of the small towns around the area.
  
  On my return, I came home to find a very clean and tidy house and an added surprise of three gleaming cars which Grant had very kindly washed and polished!
  
  I only wish that Ursula and Grant lived closer as I would love them to house sit again and would highly recommend them to anybody.

  Well! I can't recommend Ursula & Grant highly enough! They looked after my pets, my home & my garden so well I would have them come & housesit again in a heartbeat. My 9 year old dog & 11 year old cat were so relaxed when I got back, they clearly had been loved and cared for beautifully. Ursula & Grant were also incredibly accommodating with my date changes which were unexpected and unavoidable. It was an unbelievably hot time in Sydney and somehow, they managed to keep my garden alive, for which they deserve credit! My car was full of petrol on my return and the beds were remade. Thank you! They are a sensible and responsible couple, who would manage any housesit anywhere with sensibility, respect and warmth. Thanks for making my time away stress free : )

  Thankyou Sue for your incredible feedback. We both thoroughly enjoyed caring for Buddy and Coco. It was also a pleasure to look after your home in Paddington, and we really enjoyed the locality to Centennial Park and the shops and cafes. It was lovely to meet you and your daughter.
  Thank you for sharing your home with us over the Christmas period. We wish you well with your future house sitters.
