Clive and Ali looked after our home and pet dog for 3 weeks in April 2012 while we travelled to London for our daughter's wedding. They did a wonderful job.

They were very flexible in meeting our travel dates, which was greatly appreciated.

They are both very professional in their approach to house and pet caring. We found both Ali and Clive to be very friendly and easy to get on with, and they took great care of our home and dog.

Guinness, the 4 year old black Labrador, obviously had a great time with Clive and Ali. He was taken on great exercise excursions, and got to swim regularly - so much so that we think he actually missed his minders when we returned.

We would certainly engage the services of Clive and Ali again if the circumstances arose. We have no hesitation in recommending them to any prospective client.

Clive & Ali house-sat & cared for my Siberian Husky, Misha for 3 weeks in Sydney, Australia, while I went on an overseas vacation in March-April 2012.

This was my first experience of having ‘strangers’ stay in my home & take care of my pet, so I was very apprehensive at first, as Misha has not previously been separated from me for this length of time. However, Clive & Ali allayed my fears immediately when they came to visit us a couple of weeks before the house-sit date. The first time we met, I felt like I was chatting with old friends, & more importantly, Misha loved them from first sight.

They kindly offered to arrive at my home at 6:30am on my day of departure, & drive me to the airport – something I doubt most house sitters would do. So I bade farewell to Misha, knowing he was in excellent hands. During my absence, Clive & Ali took Misha walking twice daily, & even drove him to the beach for his morning exercise. They also groomed him daily. They emailed me regularly with the latest photos of Misha & themselves enjoying their time together, & posted 2 videos on Youtube for me to confirm that he was doing well. I was able to have a relaxing holiday, with the knowledge that Misha was having a great time as well, with his new aunt & uncle.

On my return to Sydney Airport, I found Clive waiting for me at 6am, to drive me home. He kindly offered to take Misha for his morning exercise while I was unpacking  – for which I was immensely grateful, as I was exhausted after my sleepless overnight flight.

I have no reservations whatsoever in recommending Clive & Ali to you as excellent house-sitters & pet-carers. They are honest, open, caring people who are able to communicate & bond with animals (& people) immediately. My only regret is that they have returned to the UK, as I was hoping to ask them to house-sit again for my vacation next year!
