  This was our first experience of using house sitters, hence we were a little apprehensive at the beginning. To our good fortune we stubbled across Bob and Sue. Right from the first contact they were outstanding. They couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. By the time it came for us to leave them in charge of our home and pets we felt completely confident that we’d made the right choice, both in terms of using house sitters and in selecting Bob and Sue. Unfortunately during our time away we had a number of totally unexpected problems with the house. True to form, Bob and Sue dealt with everything fantastically and left us worry free to continue enjoying our holiday. On our return we were greeted in the same delightfully positive and friendly way that we had experienced during our first encounter with them. The house was immaculate, the animals happy and the problems resolved or arrangements put in place to do so. Our only complaint is we suspect Touli our cat would probably have preferred to have jumped in the car and left with Bob and Sue rather than stay with us! In summary; Bob and Sue are delightful people, highly professional house sitters and we’d have no hestitation in both using them again and recommending them to others.

  Response from Bob & Susan

  We have been housesitting for about five years and this was probably one of the best housesits that we have done. Great hosts, lovely property, beautiful location and the pets were a joy to look after.
  We were made to feel very welcome when we arrived and Craig and Caroline could not have been more helpful.
  Absolutely stunning area and a fantastic housesit.
  This has to be a top recommendation.

  Bob and his wife took care of our house for the winter of 2017-18 including our hens and two sheep and our cat. We were very happy with the way they cared for the house and animals and during this long sit they were reliable, clean, positive and caring about everything. I highly recommend them to anyone.

  This housesit is located in a lovely quiet location in the middle of Brittany - ideal for exploring a beautiful area.
  Diane and her daughter looked after us really well when we arrived and gave us a good briefing on the local places to visit.
  The animals were a delight to look after, especially Kitty Grey and the property is comfortable and well equipped.
  No hesitation in fully recommending this housesit.

  Bob and Sue recently house sat for us for just over 3 weeks. This was the longest time we had ever left our pets for and the first time we had used housesitters. Naturally we were quite nervous about such a venture. Bob arrived a day before we left so that we could meet him and introduce him to our dog and cat, Cara and Smudge. We all immediately liked him so we left for our holiday feeling reassured. While we were away we were sent photos and updates of our pets. We returned to a wonderfully clean house and two happy animals. We would love to use Bob and Sue to housesit for us again if they are free to do so and have no hesitation in highly recommending them to anyone.

  What a lovely housesit. Hazel and Paul made us feel very welcome. The pets were a joy to look after and the house is ideally located for exploring the area and the beautiful villages.
  
  No hesitation is saying that we would love to do this housesit again.
