Fantastic household!
Ann and Clive made me very welcome, as did the dogs! It really is a wonderful location offering many and varied walks and is ideal dog walking territory The dogs obviously loved exploring it all and are energetic and enthusiastic. The house is very comfortable and a very pleasant garden too I would be very happy to go back another time Thank you all!

Wokingham house-sit
As an introduction to house and pet sitting I could not have asked for a more pleasurable assignment. The virus may have tried its hardest to scupper our best laid plans but we got there in the end and I am so glad that I had the opportunity to look after Bertie and Oli, Ann and Clive's gorgeous cats who would certainly win gold for purring! Not a hint of feline aloofness about these two brothers, they are so loving from the off. Ann and Clive live in a beautiful house literally bordering vast swathes of woodland/country park so being surrounded by greenery there is a very positive energy about the location. They are such a welcoming couple and even cooked me a delicious vegan meal upon my arrival, I felt very comfortable and the double en-suite room is an added bonus. There are meticulous written instructions regarding the pets and house plus information about the local area in a specially prepared folder and we kept in touch throughout. I am returning next month when I'll have the added enjoyment of looking after Livvy, Ann and Clive's dog plus Holly, their daughter's puppy -thoroughly looking forward to it. My first official house-sit was an absolute joy, do not hesitate to grab the chance to meet and look after this furry family, you're sure to enjoy it.
