MoreIt was a pleasure to look after Holly and John’s home and their adorable dog, Poppy❤️. From the very beginning, Holly and John were truly kind, warm, and communicative. Poppy is incredibly well-behaved—loving and playful. She’s always ready and waiting for her daily walk through the beautiful wetland right in front of the house, full of birds and tall trees. It was a magical part of our day too. The house has everything you need to feel comfortable, and the neighborhood is wonderful , very peaceful and surrounded by nature. Thank you, Holly and John, for trusting us 🥰🙏. You are a beautiful family, and we’re truly grateful for the opportunity. We 100% recommend this house sit and would return anytime we can! A big hug, especially for Poppy❤️ Romi and Lau
