Golden Retriever & chickens in Stoke Wake, Dorset, UK

3/6/2018

 

Testimonial from Trish & Chris

​We had Clive and Ali look after our house, our nearly 2 year old Golden Retriever Cody and our chickens for 2 weeks in May 2018. They were extremely thorough in their initial preparation before we left and made a video and took notes on how the house was run and how Cody was looked after. This allowed us to go away and relax knowing all was well at home. While we were away we were sent emails and pictures of Cody who obviously was not missing us one little bit.

While we were away Chris was taken ill and hospitalised and we were not sure if we could get home when we were booked to, I contacted Clive and Ali and they told us not to worry they would stay as long as needed which took a lot of stress off for us for which we were eternally grateful.

When we returned home the house was absolutely spotless and Cody had been brushed which is no mean feat as he is not keen on it but he looked amazing.

'​In future we are going to book our holidays for when they can sit for us so we can relax and enjoy the peace of mind they give us.

We cannot recommend Clive and Ali enough as house sitters, and can't wait for them to sit for us again; we have had friends sit for us before and there has always been a problem when we have got home, so to go away and know that was not going to happen was such a relief for us.

Testimonial from Lucy & Shaun
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.

Border Collie,  2 cats, 3 sheep & 11 hens in Ludlow, Shropshire, UK

Testimonial from Ron & Lois

Our extended family comprises: one border collie dog, two cats, three sheep and eleven hens – all of them much loved and very special with, from our perspective, their own special personalities and their individual needs.  Clive and Ali also are very special and took care of all of our pets and livestock in the best possible way.

On arrival at our home Clive and Ali carefully noted the routines for each pet and filmed us whilst we twittered on about how we went about things.  Our ‘what to do, when to do it and how to do it’ list was subsequently transferred onto a spread-sheet of activities and a video so that we could check that everything was as we wanted.

Regular communications by email and video followed throughout our vacation.  The videos were just a delight – very creative, fun and reassuring and so entertaining that they became something to which we looked forward – and not only by us but also the rest of our family who couldn’t wait for the next episode!

On our return the animals looked great, the house looked great and the larder and fridge was stocked with goodies and essentials so we had no need to rush out to the shops.

Clive and Ali became stars of our little local community as they took over some of our roles and joined in our village hall skittles team, bringing a whole new dimension to what used to be a ‘quiet’ night out.

We have no hesitation in recommending to you the superstars of the home-sitting profession.

This was the first time we used house sitters, but Clive and Ali were recommended by a friend of mine, so we felt completely assured.  Initially they visited the house to meet the animals and to get to grips with how our house and animals live!  

They arrived on the day we left and settled in.  The animals thoroughly enjoyed their company.  Two of the Cockers are puppies and they had lots of fun.  Clive and Ali even had to deal with the hatching of one of little ducks! Communication by email was daily with little updates and reports with pictures of all the animals.  

They coped perfectly and best of all the house was immaculate on our return.

We would recommend Clive and Ali without a shadow of a doubt and hope to use them again in the future.
