It was a real pleasure to take care of Helen and Daren’s home, who are so welcoming. Jet and Derek are very sweet dogs, we loved playing with them. And the house is very confortable ! Thanks a lot :)
I had a great time at Helen's place with the adorable staffies. The house is lovely, with plenty of space and there was everything I needed. The area is very peaceful, yet only a few minute drive to town. It was nice to have some fresh eggs from the chooks during the stay. Jet and Derek are gorgeous doggies, very playful and up for cuddles at any time. They do love attention, especially Jet, and I had both of them sat on my lap on the sofa at one point. They just are a little bit too big as ... MoreI had a great time at Helen's place with the adorable staffies. The house is lovely, with plenty of space and there was everything I needed.

They just are a little bit too big as lap dogs. 😅 I do miss the doggos already and look forward to hanging out with them some another time too.

We had a great time looking after Jet and Derek. Helen and Darren made us very welcome in their home which was clean, warm and inviting. Communication was top notch too. The daily fresh eggs were an added bonus!
We had an amazing time house-sitting for Helen and Darren! Their home was spotless, comfortable (and Zen). Communication was clear and friendly from the start, which made everything stress-free. They provided detailed instructions for caring for the house and pets, and were always quick to respond to any questions. Derek and Jet were awesome dogs! They were very loving and fun and Ben and I loved looking after them. We felt very welcomed throughout our stay and would happily sit for them again. ...
