Anne was an absolute dream, so friendly and organised and great at keeping in touch prior to the sit. She took excellent care of my house and cat. Anne responded to any messages quickly and sent me daily photos of my cat. I highly recommend her and hope that she will return to us next time we go away.

Penelope Anne is a lovely lady who took excellent care of my house and cat. She is reliable, responsive and trustworthy and I will definitely be asking her to sit again!
 
ISABEL (South West London England, Jun 2023 - 1 week)
I couldn't rate Penelope Anne more highly. Communication was clear and precise from the day of confirming the house sit and she kept us updated and reassured throughout. The cats, house and plants were very well cared for and I felt Penelope Anne went above and beyond what I might have expected of a house/pet sitter. Huge thanks.
 
HELEN (London England, May 2023 - 6 days)
This was our first time using a house/pet sitter and any worries we may have had were entirely unnecessary. Penelope Anne looked after our two dogs wonderfully well and we returned to relaxed and happy dogs and a spotless house. Penelope Anne communicated regularly over WhatsApp both before the sit and while we were away with pictures of the dogs and updates on the house. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.
 
PHILIPPA (Bishops Road , Apr 2023 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Anne was a wonderful house sitter and very easy and straightforward to deal with. We arrived home to find an immaculately clean house and two very happy dogs who had clearly been well looked after. Anne sent us photos of our menagerie and was excellent at communicating with us via WhatsApp whilst we were away. We'd have no hesitation at all in recommending Anne to anyone looking for a genuinely nice, reliable, tidy, animal-loving house sitter. Thank you again Anne!
 
SEAN (Guildford , Mar 2023 - 2 weeks)
This was the first time we have left our home in the care of someone we didn't previously know and so was quite a big thing for us. Anne was super and looked after our home and cat for four weeks. Everything was very tidy on our return . A very lovely person who we hope would come to us again; our cat is definitely missing her!
 
RUTH (Sheffield , Feb 2023 - 4 weeks)
No rating Anne was a great house sitter and looked after our challenging array of feathered two legged and four legged animals - Chickens, ducks, guinea fowl, dogs, cats and horses. She fully understood their needs and cared for them as her own; this left us with great confidence. Anne house sat for us twice, in June and September. We would highly recommend her as a house sitter. Thank you Anne.
EMMA MARLAND (Witham, Essex, Sep 2015)
No rating Anne was just fantastic. She went way beyond the call of duty and met our needs (and those of our aged cat) perfectly. We would happily recommend her to anyone.
JOHN (Crewkerne, England, Jul 2015 - 2 weeks 1 day)
No rating Anne looked after our home & pets for two weeks while we were away. All the animals were still alive & the house was still standing on our return. A lovely lady, good luck in the future, many thanks
STEVE & KIRSTI (Hastings, England, Jun 2015 - 2 weeks 3 days)
No rating Penelope Anne was a great house sitter for us for 2 months. It was a pleasure to meet her before our trip, and our cats took to her immediately. She kept the house (and garden) in good shape, and we have no hesitation in recommending her.
TIM (Littlehampton, England, May 2015)
No rating Penelope Anne has house sat for us twice this winter (a month each time) . She is a lovely lady and our dogs have been so happy being looked after by her and we have felt very confident leaving them and our home in her capable hands. Lucy x
LUCY (Oxfordshire, Feb 2015)
No rating Anne looked after our house and two dogs whilst we were away in November 2014. This was our first experience of house sitting and Anne made it a really positive one, nothing was too much trouble, and the dogs clearly enjoyed her company. We would thoroughly recommend her.
AMANDA AND GORDON (Newton Stewart, Scotland, Nov 2014 - 2 weeks 2 days)
No rating I think I was the first person Anne sat for and she settled in perfectly. The dogs were really happy and my house was well looked after. She soon got involved with village life and became part of life here.
