We are pleased to provide a reference for Clive and Alice Cooper.      

This past summer marks the fourth time in five years that Clive and Ali have been our house sitters for three months each summer. From the very beginning they provided absolutely the highest quality care for our home and pets that we could expect.  They are reliable, resourceful people who can find their way through every challenge encountered in housesitting.

Through the years they have coped gracefully with car troubles, desert monsoons, pool equipment breakdowns, veterinary emergencies, a rattlesnake in the yard, and whatever else has been thrown at them.  This last summer, our ageing pets created extraordinary demands. 

Our very old cat declined suddenly and had to be put down after multiple veterinary consults.  We absolutely trusted their judgment and appreciated their sharing information from the veterinary office quickly and accurately.  They provided video updates which helped us see that it was time to make the tough decision, and they treated our kitty with tender loving care throughout.

Shortly after this sad event, Clive saw our elderly dog falter and faint.  They rushed her to the emergency vet, where she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure.  Their quick action literally saved her life – only 30% of dogs survive acute heart failure.  They made multiple veterinary visits, sometimes recording the consultation to keep us in the loop.  They picked up prescriptions, worked out a thrice daily medication routine, and made sure that Maya got more frequent breaks outside because of the meds.  She was here to greet us and happy when we arrived home, thanks to them. 

We know that they did all of the same things we would have done, with just as much tenderness.  And somehow in the middle of all of this they put the finishing touches on our rescue chihuahua’s potty training, which had been a very slow process.  We are so grateful for their patience and caring relationship with our pets, no matter how trying.

Our home and car are always in tip top shape when we return, and they appreciate and enjoy our warm weather, sunshine, and desert environment.

We have referred them to others, creating a bit of competition for their services in Arizona.  We introduced them to many of our friends and they have met others in the area on their own.  They are such fun, sociable, and interesting people, and such great raconteurs, that they are much in demand during their time in Mesa. Our only disappointment is that we are always rushing away or returning home so don’t get to see as much of them as we’d like! 

Clive and Ali are fine people who have become cherished friends as well as house sitters.  We feel so fortunate that we found them and that they have been able and willing to return year after year.  We hope to continue that tradition!

We have become such frequent visitors to Joanna and Patrick's house that it really is like coming home when we sit for them. So much so that when we arrived this time we felt obliged to thank them for taking such good care of 'our' home - and of course 'our' animals!

Once again we have not asked for a reference from Joanna and Patrick as we feel that the fact that they invite us back so often is a testimonial in itself.

Beagle & Bichon Frise dogs in Mesa, Arizona, USA

17/9/2018

 

Testimonial from Lee & Amy

Picture
​This was our first experience with Trusted House Sitters - or ANY house sitter company, for that matter - and we were nervous about leaving our 12 year old beagle Chesstur, his pal Dillon, an 8 year old Bichon mix, and our Arizona home with complete strangers during the hottest 3 months of the year. 

Enter Clive and Ali Cooper, and looking back, we know we found the BEST house sitters we could have possibly found!

Clive & Ali saw our post on the Trusted Housesitters website, and responded to us via e-mail.  We already had received multiple inquiries for our house sit, but Clive's comments and explanation of why they wanted to come to our house struck a chord with us... they had spent the 3 prior summers in Mesa, AZ, already knew what they were in for weather-wise, knew the area, and most importantly, had a strong desire to return to the area during the intense summer heat to look after our dogs.  After the initial e-mail, followed by a Skype interview, it was mutually agreed to proceed with Clive and Ali Cooper!

Our hopes and expectations of the service provided by Clive & Ali were not only met... they were exceeded at every turn. 

Dillon developed kidney stones and Chesstur suffered an ear infection during our summer away.  Trips to the Vet and medicines were administered in stride, reassuring phone calls, texts and e-mails were received from Clive and Ali, and all the while they assured us everything would be fine...and it was!  Our swimming pool pump suffered a failure - Clive caught it prior to any serious damage occurring , and coordinated repairs with our pool maintenance company.  Car license tabs came up for renewal, and Clive took our car to the AZ Emission Test Facility to get our tabs renewed... no problem!  Anything and everything that came up involving our dogs or our home, Clive and Ali communicated instantly to us, and handled exactly how we would have done it.

We received frequent photos of Chesstur & Dillon via text along with hilarious video clips of the dogs (some with amazing special effects) throughout our time away, which was also greatly reassuring.  At the end of it all, we were completely and totally satisfied with this very special couple for house sitting our dogs and home, and hope to coordinate their services next summer. 

It's no surprise to us that Clive and Ali perform multiple repeat house and pet sits... they are simply the best!

5 times & counting!

Clive & Ali first came to sit for us in 2014 & they returned this year for the 5th time. 

Last year we recommended them to friends who booked them over Christmas & when they called in for tea we seized the opportunity to discuss our 2018 spring break.  Clive & Ali had a couple of weeks free just after Easter & since it’s a real treat for us to holiday with them in charge of our animals we decided there & then to arrange our trip around their availability!

Our home & our animals are very important to us so it is always reassuring to know that when we go away, the house, sheep, cats and dog are all left safe & sound in Clive & Ali's care.  Our dog Pipit is convinced that they are her own personal playmates - she would be devastated to know that there must be many other dogs who feel exactly the same!

If you have any hesitation about inviting sitters into your home, do yourself - & your pets - a favour; get in touch with Clive and Ali.  They are caring, friendly & highly competent people who will put your mind at ease instantly.  Contact them well in advance though as they are, justifiably, very highly sought after!

Testimonial from Caroline & Les

Picture
Ali and Clive are our first experience of house sitters, and we could not have been more fortunate in having them to look after our home and animals, in our case one dog and two cats, since our other two dogs came with us.

Their extensive experience was a great help in providing guidance and we were completely happy to leave everything in their capable hands.

Whilst away we received regular updates, and so could relax and enjoy our few days away. We returned to a spotless house, with their bedding already laundered, and flowers (and importantly Easter eggs!) awaiting us.

It’s easy to see why they return many times to the same homes, and how they make so many friends around the world. We hope we can have them back in the future.

Clive and Ali are simply the best. I cannot recommend them more highly.

They came to see us a few weeks before we left on holiday and filled in a spreadsheet with all the details for the care of our house, dogs and chickens. A few days later they sent it back to us for verification. They really understood what was important to us and took it all on board.

We have a large and complicated house and two dogs who expect long and varied walks! They managed this and a security system effortlessly.

After we departed they sent us Whatsapps of the dogs on walks which was lovely and let us enjoy our holiday without worry.

On our return we came home to an immaculate house and very happy dogs. It was overwhelming!

They are truly kind and very organised people and if you are lucky to have them, then you have got the very best.

I feel they are part of our family now and the dogs definitely do too.

People ask us how do we leave our house & animals in the hands of strangers. Well, all I now say is 'Clive and Ali'. A couple who have just finished their third sit for us and are really now considered part of the family.

Our two dogs and cats have never been in such capable hands and even send us updates when we are away. They are all exercised each day both mentally and physically and are on sparkling form for when we return.

Ali has a special knack in handing back the house in even better condition than we left it and Clive is a whizz at solving the everyday problems, especially our smart TV - I think he knows it better than us - phone system, oil tank that empties on their first day and the septic tank which also went on the blink. All sorted with no fuss.

​We couldn't recommend this couple highly enough to look after your animals and property.

It's a great burden taken off our shoulders for when we go away; they have even taken to telling us when they are free so that we can plan the next trip.

Who does that?  Only Clive and Ali, that’s who!

I first met Clive and Ali, the dog whispers, two years ago when they came to AZ to house/pet sit for my local pet sitters Mary Beth and Tim.  (see link to their testimonial below)

​My first impression was that Clive and Ali love all animals, so I was delighted when they volunteered to continue the day visits to my 3 dogs when my local sitter was on vacation.

On the second day, they arrived at my house and found my elderly husky No Se’ splayed out on the tile floor and unable to right herself.  They immediately called me and when I arrived, 45 minutes later, I found them sitting on the floor with her, talking to her and calming her so that she would not further injure herself.  They helped me get her to her feet, gently coaxing her to allow us to move her.  Later that month, my beloved No Se’ passed over the rainbow bridge, Clive and Ali sent me a beautiful note, expressing their condolences and acknowledging the very special nature of my special girl.  

Who does that?  Only Clive and Ali, that’s who!

Later that summer Clive and Ali returned to AZ for a longer house sit.  They again asked if they could come by and sit my pets.  They were surprised when they came by to visit with me; the pack now included a new rescue that I was having difficulty integrating into my pack. Frankly, I was afraid to work with them on my own due to the volatile nature of their past interactions.  Not only did Clive and Ali fall in love “with my boisterous one”, their affectionate name for him, but they also offered to come by every other night to help me work to unite my pack.  Without hesitation they continued to do that for over a month, until they departed AZ.  I looked forward to the visit of my dog whisperers, not only for the progress we made with the pack, but also because they regaled me with entertaining stories about their incredible life adventures.

Who does that?  Clive and Ali, that’s who!

Fast forward to the summer of 2016, the pack and I anxiously awaited Clive and Ali’s arrival! They immediately volunteered to come by daily to sit the pack.  This time my pack included a new little one, a rescue described as a feral dog.  Little Scarlett really is a little sweetheart, but that personality was buried deep and only seen by me.  By the time they left AZ Scarlett was able to take treats from them and very close to allowing Ali to actually pet her.  With their care and love Scarlett made great progress, learning to accept strangers.  

Who does that?  Only Clive and Ali, that’s who!

I cannot say enough about the level of trust, admiration and respect I have for Clive and Ali.  They are always welcome in my home and by my pack…not an easy feat.  

I can recommend them without hesitation and believe that anyone lucky enough to meet them will have similar stories to share.

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.

Testimonial from Rachel, Heather & Polly

2nd Sit: February/March 2015
1st Sit:  December 2014

Picture
Clive and Alice are ***** FIVE STAR ***** house sitters. 

We have nothing but praise and gratitude and admiration for the way they looked after our homes and animals (1 dog, 2 cats and 7 sheep), and the care and attention the animals received.

Ours was a rather unusual situation - 3 ladies, 3 dwellings, 10 pets, all within the same private property and grounds.  


Clive and Alice sat for us on two occasions this winter; first of all for the month of December 2014 when all three of us went on holiday together and again for six weeks in February/March 2015 when just two of us were away.

If you, like us, were nervous about having someone you don't know looking after your house and animals, put that fear away right now.  Clive and Alice are completely responsible and reliable people who treated our home with the utmost care and respect. While they were in our house, everyone who visited felt very welcome, including our dog walking friends and neighbours.

A personal word from Rachel

Perhaps one of the things I was most anxious about was leaving my sheep throughout the winter months.  I needn’t have worried as Clive and Ali took to their shepherding duties with the same practical and caring approach as they did with all of their other wards.  When I left for the second time in February, I did so happily in the safe knowledge that my ewes and lambs were once again in capable hands.

The biggest compliment though comes from my cat Muffin - a very discerning judge of people, who usually steers a wide berth of most humans.  I was therefore surprised to receive reports from Polly telling me all about Muffin spending time each evening lazing on Clive’s lap by the fire and supping the milk straight out of Ali’s cereal bowl - before she had a chance to finish it herself!  It was delightful to see it for myself as well in one of Clive and Ali's regular video updates.

A personal word from Polly

Clive and Ali are a delightful couple with a great sense of humour and a real affinity with animals, which I was able to witness first-hand during their second spell at our home.

My cat - Plum, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed after they had been looking after her - thought I was a very poor substitute for them and is looking forward to their next visit!
A personal word from Heather

I can’t thank Clive and Ali enough for loving my dog Pipit so wonderfully.  She has had a holiday of a life time while I have been away and is, I am sure, beside herself with disappointment now they have gone. 

I am so so happy that they came to us and that I left her there being happily spoilt beyond measure.
Picture
Finally, again from all three of us

We so much appreciated how they kept us in touch with reports and photos . The videos are a sheer delight and great fun.  There Is no doubt they really love looking after animals and are completely dedicated to what they do . We have already recommended them to several friends.

Don't hesitate to book them if you need house sitters, your animals are in for a treat and you are in for the most worry free time away you have ever had.   We sincerely hope they are available next time we go away. They look after our animals better than we do ourselves!

2nd Sit: January 2015 (split sit)
1st Sit: August/September 2012
Picture
​Clive and Ali came and house sat for us for the second time in January for 3 weeks.  Our two dogs greeted them enthusiastically and obviously remembered them.  We returned to the most beautifully cleaned house and dogs who were content, happy and beautifully cleaned too.

Clive and Ali kept in touch with us while we were away and it was lovely to see a video of our dogs playing in the park with them via e-mail.

​They coped with a blocked drain without fuss only informing us on our return.  It’s so nice to return to a warm house with the dogs in it and some basic essentials after a 24 hour journey knowing you can just relax rather than dash around.

We have recommended Clive and Ali to friends as they are extremely professional and care very much about their job.  They are currently undertaking a sit at some friends locally.  They are returning to us in September for another four weeks and we would have no hesitation in recommending them.

If you’re new to house sitters, give it a try with Clive and Ali as they understand what works about housesitting.  It is no exaggeration to say that we can allow ourselves to travel for longer periods knowing that all is taken care of at home.

Clive and Ali have our contact details and we’re more than willing to speak to or e-mail replies to people who want references.
