Clive and Ali revisited our home for a second time Easter 2016 for 2 weeks.  They are both amazing and lovely.  

​We have 4 dogs, (3 working Cockers and a Jack Russell), so it's all quite hard work. We also have a hamster and 2 goldfish.  All were looked after incredibly well. The dogs were spoilt to death and adore Clive and Ali to the point that they pined when they left.  

We were away for two weeks and had regular contact via email, with pictures, updates and even an amazing video of all the animals.  

The house too was well looked after and very clean and tidy, my ironing had even been done!

​I would not hesitate to recommend Clive and Ali to house sit and knowing them the way we do, know that they could undertake pretty much anything.  Hopefully we will have them back here soon if they are not too busy elsewhere.

White Labrador & 2 Jack Russell Terrier dogs, chickens & fish in Bramshill, Hampshire, UK

6/12/2015

 
Testimonial from Lucy & Shaun
2nd sit: November 2016 - split sit
1st sit: November/December 2015

We have just returned home after leaving our house and 3 dogs in the capable and loving hands of Clive and Ali.

They really are a brilliant couple.

Nothing is too much trouble and our dogs had more attention than ever before. The dogs' routine was followed exactly and we were sent an enchanting video of everyone having a great time - how we enjoyed watching it!

​We couldn't rate them more highly and recommend them to anyone who want a completely wonderful pair of people.

Golden Retriever & Havanese dogs, 2 tabby cats and an Angelfish on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada

Testimonial from Jamey & Karen

Of the 11 house sitters we've had Clive and Ali are, without a doubt, the best!

We have a large secluded property, 2 dogs, 2 cats and a fish in our household and from the outset we were impressed with Clive and Ali's professional approach; they travelled from their current house sit on another part of the island for a pre-sit meeting and from the questions they asked, the experiences they shared and their immediate engagement with our pets it was obvious that our home was going to be in good hands.  So much so that when the opportunity to extend our vacation dates arose we were able to do so without any concerns and were very grateful to Clive and Ali for altering their own travel plans to accommodate us.

We loved the videos they made of our animals and sent to us via YouTube while we were away - it was a great touch, especially appreciated by our children.  Our 18-yr old daughter had to travel home a day earlier than the rest of the family and thanks to the videos she felt confident in spending a day/night with Clive and Ali. She quickly relaxed in their kind and generous company before dropping them off at the ferry terminal the next day en-route to pick us up.

When we got home our greeting was joyful but we could tell that, although pleased to see us, all of the animals had been so well looked after that their greeting was not pitiful in any way.  Even our geriatric fish seemed surprisingly sprightly!  I took the dogs out for a run the next morning and was delighted to find that they were not only in fantastic shape but they also looked beautiful.  

The house looked great too; when I was out with the dogs my husband went from room to room admiring their care and when he spoke with the tenant in our adjacent property he too was full of praise for Clive and Ali.

We are truly thankful for Clive and Ali's hard work with our furry, finny loved ones and our possessions.

Our son graduates from high school in three years and we have already started the planning for this next extended family vacation.  Clive and Ali are an integral part of our plan and we are very happy that they have already agreed to sit for us!

In summary

We can honestly say that Clive and Ali are exceptional - they do more than just care for your home and pets - they care about them.

2 dogs, tropical fish, an axolotl, spiny leaf stick insects and a bearded dragon lizard in Berowra, NSW, Australia

Testimonial from Lia

"Wow, wow and wow!"  Is what I said to myself when I walked through my front door after my month long holiday!

Clive and Ali are A+ numero uno house sitters! 

My house was spotless and the care they took of my animals was amazing. We have two dogs, fish, an axolotl, spiny leaf stick insects and a bearded dragon. 

They compiled a timetable of everything that was required for our creatures and sent us photos and you-tube videos when we were away so we could check on our loved ones at home.

I have no hesitation in recommending these "super sitters". I just hope they are free and available for me when I need them next!

2 Fox Terriers, Fish & Worms! in Canberra, ACT, Australia

Testimonial from Leigh & Vicky

During the 2011/12 holiday break our family went on a 7 week trip to South East Asia, during which time Clive and Ali looked after our house and cared for two fox terriers, six outdoor goldfish, a worm farm, and also fed our wild birds.

While we were away Clive and Ali walked our dogs, Holly and Louie, twice daily (which is more often than when we’re home). More importantly, they showed a great deal of love by playing with the dogs and cuddling them regularly! 

They also kept us regularly updated via email (without being in any way intrusive) and sometimes sent videos of the dogs to us, which was great when we were missing them!

When we arrived home it was very obvious how affectionate and trusting our dogs were towards Clive and Ali and vice versa. Also, they did a fantastic job looking after our house. On our arrival home lawns were mown and the house was cleaner than when we had left! 

Clive and Ali are both genuine and friendly people, and are terrific house sitters. We will definitely ask them to help us again for future holidays.

Don’t hesitate to contact us via email or phone for further confirmation.

3 cats, 2 cockatiels & 3 fish in Cairns, QLD, Australia

Testimonial from Tracey
Picture
Clive & Ali Cooper looked after my residence from 17th January to 27th January 2011. 

My 3 cats, 2 cockatiels & 3 fish were found to be happy & healthy upon my return.  The house & gardens were clean, intact, & well protected as Clive & Ali worked on their laptops from the house.

I would not hesitate to have them look after my house & 'babies' any time.

All the best Clive & Ali
