Our experience

8 years

Like most of the world's population, Lily and I both grew up in homes with pets. What makes us different, then? Well, we both have active life styles, running, walking, biking, climbing -and we'll often involve the dog in these activities

Ben & Lily looked after Clare’s pets & home

Ben and his partner,Lily, proved outstanding carers if our family home and, importantly,, our very energetic dog and cat over this last year, whilst I was repeatedly away for months at a time.. On each return, home was immaculate and our animals happy ,settled and dog well exercised.. Ben is super organised,, tidy and mature.As his mum (and who better!),I can unequivocally recommend him as the kindest, most reliable and honest house and pet sitter you could have.
