Paul was very capable and reliable. He looked after 2 small dogs and a couple of hens for 5 days. He regularly sent messages and photos to reassure us that all was well at home. The dogs were happy and content when we got back. We have booked him to return in the spring.
It was a pleasure to meet Paul and have him look after my home and animals. He had an immediate affinity with my dogs and was confident with the horses. His willingness to be flexible was exemplary. Completely reliable. Highly recommended.
Paul was amazing. Communication with Paul from the very beginning was easy, friendly and reassuring. We kept in contact over the months prior to the house sit. I was nervous of leaving my pets with someone I didn't know, but by the time Paul arrived I felt I did know him due to the great communication.
While he was pet sitting, he looked after my furry four legged gang brilliantly, tending to all their needs which was amazing. Again he communicated daily sending me pictures, which is very ... MORE
Paul is very reliable and punctual. He is great at setting up the initial communications as well as communicating when we were away and sharing pictures of our pets. He was accommodating and agreed to come a day early so I could show him around and go through the animal routines, which was helpful. He took the unexpected arrival of some new rhea chicks and ensuring they were ok in his stride and I felt they were in good hands. My pots were all watered and survived some hot weather. We came back ... MORE
Highly recommend Paul as a house and pet sitter. Communication was excellent. Lovely photos while we were away for the long weekend. We came home to a lovely clean house and very happy pets. We hope Paul will become a regular sitter for us.
Paul came back last week to dog/housesit for us, for a week. The dogs have been so well looked after, very happy and contented with him. He kept us updated with photos and daily WhatsApp messages. We came home to find everything in order and plants watered. He kindly left us a chicken pie for our arrival, much appreciated after a day of travelling. I would highly recommend Paul.
Paul was brilliant! I had complete confidence that my pony and cat would be well cared for, as indeed they were - I think they hardly noticed I was away.
I came home to find the house immaculate and the garden and green house had been looked after too.
What a wonderful man! During a long stay, Paul cared for my 4 dogs (great dane and 3 chihuahuas) and my garden, including an errant robotic mower with a mind of its own. The dogs loved him. Communication was fabulous. He went above and beyond the call of duty and I am very grateful to him for that. Nobody could have done it better! Thanks Paul.
Paul is a real gentleman who is punctual, considerate and caring. I had asked Paul to be flexible for a sit of 2 - 3 weeks and in the end I only needed him for 2 weeks and he was happy to oblige. When I introduced Paul to my 2 horses, both gentle giants at 17hh, was was unfazed by their size and the horses reacted very well to him. Paul seemed tp enjoy spending time with the horses, grooming them and poo-picking in the field. He coped with my cat who doesn't like strangers and ensured he was ... MORE
Paul looked after our 2 labradors with such care and attention. The dogs immediately took to him. He sent us regular updates and photos. Making us feel assured all was well at home, whilst away. We came home to 2 very happy dogs, Paul left the house looking spotless and even picked some early daffodils to welcome us home. I would happily recommend him.
Paul was fantastic in all ways. Great communication leading up to the sit. Friendly and communicative when we were away. Paul took fantastic care of all the animals and our home was completely spotless on our return. We would love for Paul to sit for us again. Thank you so much.
Big thanks to Paul for looking after Aadi. Communication prior to the sit was clear and efficient, Paul was punctual and Aadi very well looked after (despite Aadi's initial nervousness). Highly recommended.
From the start we had great communication. Paul was fabulous with Meg and very caring taking her to the vets twice for me in my absence. He even did a few jobs for me in the house (spontaneously) and left flowers - a lovely gesture. The house was clean, neat and tidywhen I got home. Paul is a fabulous housesitter who I hope will come back sometime. He's very welcome.
Paul is a wonderful gentleman and an excellent communicator. We were confident as soon as we spoke to him that the dogs, various other animals and house would be in safe hands. We were very grateful for his help and could not recommend him highly enough. Thank you Paul.
Paul is a charming house sitter, a real gentleman He was only here for a short time during which he and our dog Samba became great friends.. He left the house spotless and made us feel our home, dog and cat were in good hands. We recommend him highly.
A house sitter provides loving, full-time, home-based pet-care while you're away.
