Friendly and Reliable Couple Reviews

We are a home-caring couple who respect and cherish the places we stay at, whether it is our own home or others'.

We have experience caring for various pets and plants. We both grew up with dogs. Pets we have taken care of include dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, reptiles, hamsters and chickens (if they count as a pet ;) ). People have also entrusted us with caring for their lawns, gardens, houseplants and pools while they have been away.

Both of us work remotely (100% from home) and are thus well-suited to taking care of people's homes and pets. We are especially experienced in caring for pets with anxiety and complex needs (medication, injection, mouth & ear treatment, etc. ).

Other than the experiences shown on Mindahome. I (Reuben) have done a number of workaway experiences on the website workaway.info. During one stay, I managed the house and pets (dog, cat & chickens) for a family while they went away on spring break. At another stay, I helped with landscaping the owner's backyard and placing a lovely brick path through the garden. Having built up a reputation, I began getting other word-of-mouth recommendations outside of the website and during one of those stays built a 2m fence to keep deer out of the owners' veggie garden.

We don't smoke or party; we are homey people who are quiet and very thoughtful. We both have police checks as per requirements for our jobs. References can be provided upon request.

Reuben kept us up to date about the pets and they were well cared for, as was the house and garden. They also managed with a nasty water leak that could not be repaired until we returned. Grateful thanks. Welcome back any time.

Wonderful sitters! They exceeded all expectations despite the fabulous reviews I'd read and my dog absolutely adored them. House, garden and all requirements of looking after an aging pet including taking him to planned vet appointment all managed with great care and professionalism. Would book them everytime if I could.

Sophia and Reuben were great! They were keen to learn how to look after Peppa with her diabetes and insulin needs. I received weekly updates about how Peppa and Lars were going and if there were any concerns or issues. Both pets took to Sophia and Reuben quickly and I would definitely have them back.
