Sit #140 – Aug 2026

REPEAT SIT
 
This was the 4th time Ian and Vanessa have come to sit for us. I think that speaks for itself but just to emphasise further, they really are the most lovely couple and the most fabulous house sitters.
 
On this occasion Poppy travelled with us but she was sooo excited and happy to see them again when they arrived to spend an evening with us before we left. And she crept down to their bedroom for cuddles early the next morning!!
 
They are always very helpful – picked up a parcel for us that hadn’t arrived before we left and kept in touch with us during their stay.
 
We returned to literally a sparkling chalet. Immaculate, so well looked after, and the garden and the pool well nurtured and cared for in our absence.
 
As in the past, I hope that Ian and Vanessa sit for us again, and if in the area come and visit us too.
 
Many thanks both!!

Lovely to meet Vanessa and Ian. Great communication! House and pets were certainly well looked after.
 
Shame I didn’t get to spend much time with them.
 
Thank you so much.

REPEAT SIT
 
Ian and Vanessa were brilliant sitters for our extended trip away from home. The house was spotlessly clean and there were no issues of concern.
 
Thoroughly recommend and would definitely use them again.

Vanessa and Ian were quite simply fantastic. We had a great call to meet them and instantly could see how calm, considerate and experienced they were. Dotty settled very quickly and had no shortage of walks and cuddles as well as everything else we had asked for.
 
They kept us up to date every day and even managed a leak which occurred when we were away. The house was immaculate – everything washed and dried and milk in the fridge.
 
They are such an interesting and clearly kind couple we really enjoyed meeting them and have not the slightest hesitation in recommending them. We hope our paths will cross again.
