What a lucky find with Barry & Ann. They are such a lovely couple and we all, including Frank our dog, took to them immediately. Communication was excellent and we could go on holiday safe in the knowledge that our boy would be in good hands. We were regularly updated with photographs and stories which we loved. We returned to an immaculate house and everything in order. We would have no hesitation in recommending Barry & Ann to anyone looking for a dog sit and we have already ... MORE

Barry & Ann were extremely organised and took great care of our dog, like he was their own. We came home to a sparkling clean home and a very happy dog! They were exceptional at communication and flexible (even offering to stay longer due to delayed flights). Would be delighted to leave our pet with them in future.
 
NOAM (Newcastle upon Tyne England, Dec 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
We returned from a 3 week holiday to 3 happy pets and an immaculately clean home. Barry and Ann kindly came to us the night before we left to meet us the animals and to understand how everything worked in the house. Their stay unfortunately involved a visit to the vets for our cat Apollo but they organised it and messaged me to see if it was ok. They thought he may have been injured but luckily it was an abscess. They cared for our pets and home very very well. Would recommend to anyone and ... MORE

Thank you for your kind words our pleasure.
We can’t praise Barry and Ann highly enough. What an amazing couple.. Communication and updates were excellent. Frank, our boy, was looked after and formed a great bond with them both. The house was immaculate on our return. They really went over and above what we expected. We have dates in for the future!! Highly recommended

Barry & Ann are a lovely couple who took great care of our home and pets. Their communication was excellent from the start. They are very experienced sitters. We felt confident to leave our house and animals in their care. They generously brought us a gift on arrival, washed bed linen before leaving and left us a lovely bunch of flowers and card. Ann even did some ironing for me to ease my return ! Unfortunately, Ann had an accident whilst at our house, necessitating hospital care. Barry and ... MORE
 
LISA (Henley-on-Thames England, Jul 2024 - 2 weeks)
Thank you both for the review kind words and understanding. Regards Ann and Barry
This was our first time having house-sitters, and Barry and Ann were brilliant. They communicated very clearly before the day of the house sit, asking questions and letting us know the kind of info they needed. We had a plumbing issue just before they arrived, which meant there were plumbers still at the house when they got there. They were extremely patient and understanding about it, and kept in touch about the behaviour of the boiler while we were away. Our ragdoll cat was clearly spoiled ... MORE
 
FRANCES (Hexham England, Jul 2024 - 5 nights)
Thank you for your review despite the weather we thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Carnacki.
Ann and Barry live not too far from us. They very kindly offered to come and see us and our pets a few times before the house sit , This was much appreciated. They are very friendly and we feel that we left everything in good hands. They sent messages while we were away. When we returned everything was left in perfect condition. Belle was happy to see them when they visited and they were very good with her . I think she's missed them since our return! I believe they are in demand as house ... MORE
 
JOHN AND BARBARA (Gateshead England, Mar 2024 - 2 weeks 1 night)
Very good communication before the sit, Barry sent regular updates so I knew Poppy was fine. I returned to a happy, content cat and a lovely tidy and clean house. Would definitely recommend.
 
ANNE (Durham England, Nov 2023 - 1 week 5 nights)
Ann and Barry did a wonderful job of managing a noisy cat, very friendly chickens and a busy garden. Managing a veg garden in June/ July is no easy task. Colin (cat) clearly had a lovely time. He shouted at them as much as he does to us and continued with his normal behaviour, including bringing home mouse presents which they dealt with admirably πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‚ Colin was very chilled when we arrived home, chickens were happy, garden was in full swing and house was perfect. Thanks Ann and Barry.
 
NIA (Durham England, Jun 2023 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Thank you for a lovely review,looking forward to the next sit with you.
Barry and Ann were the perfect choice when we asked them to housesit for us and look after our blind dog Tudds. Initially we chose them as they too had had a blind dog. However, they were all-round Super Sitters, not only befriending and looking after our dog so well but also our house and garden. They also kept in constant touch with us and responded promptly to any messages we sent them. We highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for reliable and responsible sitters and would like to ... MORE
 
JANE (North Tuddenham England, May 2023 - 3 weeks)
Jane and Adrian thank you for the super review.
Barry and Ann are first class Housesitters ! They did a magnificent job of looking after our dogs - Paddy and Milly, our cat Amber and our Koi The animals were calm and relaxed upon our return and had clearly enjoyed themselves and settled very quickly Not only did they care beautifully for our pets they also washed the bedding, towels and pet blankets which was unexpected but much appreciated The house was probably cleaner when they left than when they arrived,! We would have ... MORE
 
MIKE & CHRISTINE (Seghill England, Apr 2023 - 5 days)
What a fantastic couple Barry and Ann are. Before we went on holiday they visited us twice to meet our 3 furbabies. They were so easy to get on with and we knew our pets would be in good hands. They kept us posted with pictures of the pets and their antics, we did not need to worry as our cats and little dog were very happy with Barry and Ann, and Sapphie the cat even decided to snuggle under the duvet on a night!! On our return home, the house was immaculate and the girls all had a new ... MORE
 
MARGARET (Redcar , Mar 2023 - 4 weeks)
We really hit gold with Barry and Ann. We warmed to them straight away. They sent us loads of photos and videos of our cats and kept us reassured. I couldn't believe the house when we came home. It looked liked something out of ideal home. The place was immaculate, which was a lovely surprise. Most importantly, they clearly showered our cats with love and affection.
 
MICHAEL (Bishop's Stortford England, Jan 2023 - 4 weeks)
Barry & Ann are really professional at what they do & are passionate about animals. We came home to a very clean home. They treated our house as if it were their own. They looked after our cat & dog beautifully whilst we were away. I could not ask for more. They come highly recommended.
 
DEBORAH (Weston super mare England, Dec 2022 - 2 weeks 4 days)

The house was immaculate on return and I am so happy with the website .Barry and Ann are a lovely couple and very trustworthy, they did an amazing job .
 
VAL (Middlesbrough England, Nov 2022 - 2 weeks)
Barry & Ann were brilliant! Our dogs were so happy and relaxed when got home and had their every need catered for while we were away. Would definitely recommend them.
 
REBECCA (Stamford England, Oct 2022 - 2 weeks 3 days)
Barry and Ann where just brilliant. Our cats Harvey and Milly, took to them straight away. Harvey was cuddling in bed with them straight away and Milly even allowed them to brush her. We can't thank them enough for their kindness and professional approach to their house sit. They sent photos and videos which put out minds at rest. The house was clean and spotless when we arrived home, and laundry washed and on the line. Thank you once again and we will definitely be using you again.
 
JULIE AND BRETT (Sleaford England, Oct 2022 - 1 week)
A lovely couple who really wanted to make sure they knew how to care for Cedric and Percy while I was away and how to look after the house. They sent photos of the cats every day and let me know all was good. The cats were chilled when I got home and seemed well looked after. The house was lovely and clean. Highly recommend.
 
DEBORAH (Darlington England, Sep 2022 - 6 days)
Brilliant house sitters! Great communication before, during and after house sit. Would highly recommend as friendly and great with pets. Very efficient, organised and left the house as they found it. Thank you to both Barry and Ann for taking care of our precious pets :)
