This was our first experience of having a house and dog-sitter who wasn't one of our adult kids or their friends. And it was excellent. Sally inspired confidence from the outset and immediately connected with the two dogs. We were away for a month and we communicated several times over the period, Sally sending photos of the dogs, us sending photos of our exploits. We were able to really relax and enjoy our holiday, knowing the dogs and the house were in good hands. We are hoping Sally might house-sit for us again. Certainly we would not hestitate to recommend her. :-)
