Testimonials
"In summary - just wonderful! Sarah and Scott where reliable, conscientious, friendly and left us feeling totally secure from our first interaction. We were able to enjoy our holiday and be totally secure about our dogs being well taken care of and our home secure. We returned to happy dogs, a tidy house (they had even washed the dog beds, along with all their bedding and towels!). Such a lovely couple, I hope to bump into them again some day, just to chat, and would be even more honoured if they chose to housesit for us again!"

"We had the chance to meet Scott and Sarah before they sat for our dog, and immediately felt they were a perfect match. They took such great care of our pup, sending regular messages and pictures to keep us at ease. Our house was immaculate upon our return, and it was obvious that our dog had been well taken care of. We highly recommend them both.
Thank you, Scott and Sarah...hopefully we meet again, but until then....Viagens Seguras."

"Sarah and Scott are MUCH MORE as a couple of wonderful house/dogsitters. They came to our rescue....while unfortunately something has happened to the dogsitters, who were supposed to look after our 2 dogs. Sarah and Scott, did not hesitate a minute; left behind all what they were supposed to do; to do this unexpected dogsit. It says something very important about their golden personalities. Well, they have been before with us and when I collected them at the station together with our dogs, I could not see them immediately with all the people on the platform, but our dogs dragged me almost towards them, so happy they were to see them again. That speaks for itself !!!! (I secretly always hoped that they would come once more). They are world travellers. They are very capable of any situation. They looked after our dogs as you only wish...beside that they took such good care of our spanish guests (we have a guesthouse)...they also praised Sarah and Scott!! Thank you so much Sarah and Scott!!!!"

"Sarah and Scott were wonderful! And it was clear that our pups had plenty of attention and love. They were not needy in the least when we arrived home. Plus, the house was well taken care of. We would welcome Scott and Sarah back anytime!! Thank you for taking such good care of our kids and our home!!"

"Sarah and Scott are wonderful dog sitters! They are totally uncomplicated, absolutely reliable and big animal lovers. I had prepared a long list with all the information about my 3 pups and they did everything to stick with what was important for me. Every day Sarah sent me videos and photos of the dogs so I could even see that they had been taken care of very well. When I came back they had already washed and dried the sheets and my house was in a perfect state. As they do housesittings around the world I hope they will find some time in the future to sit again for me as I would always want to book them again."

"We have hired Scott and Sarah to dog sit Sadie in two separate occasions and we have to say that they are THE BEST pet sitters we have ever had. They are unparalleled in terms of responsiveness, reliability and true concern for our pet Sadie. When we are away we always receive a few photos of her in several states of relaxation. She is also taken for walks and cuddled constantly. We recommend them highly!"
