Wonderful Scotland House Sit
Sitting for Alasdair and his family was a dream. I felt right at home. Their Scotland home in the country was just what you think of when you think of Scotland. He had everything you needed taken care of. He also picked me up from the airport. Alasdair always responded promptly and was helpful when contacted. Anything you wanted to know about Scotland and the area Alasdair could tell you. Their two cats Lucky, and Socks are sweet and cuddly and easy to care for. I would recommend the opportunity to house sit for Alasdair.

Amazing Time in The Highlands
My husband and I really enjoyed our time looking after Alasdair's home and their cat Lucky. Taking care of Lucky was a breeze and she's also really cute. The home itself is in a beautiful area surrounded by open land and trees, a perfect retreat from city life! We were there for a month and found lots to explore around the area like Glen Strafarrar, hiking trails, golf courses, and distilleries. Alasdair was nice enough to provide us with bicycles and maps so it was easy to get around. The family was also very warm and welcoming to us. They were quick to respond to our messages and everything in their description about the house-sitting assignment was accurate. We arrived a few days early to get acquainted with Lucky and learn how they'd like things done around the home which was really helpful. We really enjoyed our time in the Scottish Highlands and would definitely love to house-sit there again!
