Welcome Bay, New Zealand

We spent a month looking after Dibby the most independent character we have ever met. He really did his own thing, but was affectionate on his own terms. He certainly let us know when he wanted feeding. ...

Pattaya, Thailand

We spent two short days with Fergie in an area called Baan Mabprachan while Carolyn and Steve went to Bangkok.  Fergie loved his walks out and around the lake and the residental area he lived in. He was such a chilled dog, not bothered by the street dogs and happy to be by your side....

Sarasota, Florida

We had a 12 night stay with the cutest little poodle, Maggie. She loved her cuddles and her walks around the neighbourhood. We were lucky to have lots of dog parks in this area and we took Maggie each day so she got to play and make lots of new friends. Maggie was by far the fastest dog in the park. Maggie was a well behaved little girl , she was no trouble in the car or at bath time and house trained. Ged's  little darling....

Bradenton, Florida

through Trusted Housesitters.  We sat for Greg in a residential community that was situated around a lake. It was a beautiful location for a sit. We had nice walks around the lake and we regulary used their own dog park (although we did visit a few dog parks enarby) so Allie could do her zoomies. The complex also had a dog bath and for our use a car wash station, pool, media centre, indoors kitchen and entertainment area, fire pits and bbqs!!  ...

Fort Myers, Florida

through glhousesitters.com.    This was a lovely housesit on the edge of a popular golf course in Fort Myers. Sadly we had no pets to take care of  but the home owner had plants and a pool to tend too. This sit was a reccommendation by a friend through our website and they could see that we loved to keep busy. They asked if we would like to strip back their garage - remove mirrors, make good the walls, tidy and store various items, paint and repair a door - ready for them to turn ...

Matai, Nelson, New Zealand

Taz and Zim loved going to the park and being walked along the Maitai river near their home. Taz was a sniffer and strolled along on the walks and loved his doggy facebook whereas Zim could not get enough of chasing the ball and fetching sticks. These two snuggle pups loved nothing more than cuddling up each evening, they loved the human contact...
