Some of our feedback . . .
Bobbi and Stephen sat for us and our Labrador Nero in July 2022. We arranged this after they had previously sat for us the year before through trusted house sitters. As they did such a fabulous job for us and Nero previously we didn’t hesitate to ask them again if they were available for a sit and lucky for us they were. We could not have asked for better sitters than them and for us the proof of how good they are is how forlorn Nero is when they leave 😂. They provided us with lots of pupdates of their adventures with Nero and kept our home lovely and tidy for our return. We would definitely recommend them for sits and we’ll definitely ask them to sit for us again when we’re away in the future. Ross, Josie and Nero
Stephen and Bobby were great house/petsitters. This was I think their first experience and I am sure that they learnt a lot from it! Esme was a very happy dog
Fabulous house sitters. We came home to find two very happy and content animals. Hendrix had enjoyed great walks. The house was very tidy and clean and there was the offer of an evening meal to be ready when we arrived home. Sadly we had to decline due to the time of our flight but got up in the morning to find everything for a lovely breakfast! Bobby had looked after all my seedlings in the greenhouse -100% survival rate. A lovely kind and competent couple. Would love them to house sit again.
Truly lovely people who took great care of my dogs and my home. It's so nice to come back and see that the dogs have been cared for so well and were so happy. Stephen and Bobby are very nice, caring and responsible people I would happily invite them back to Greece anytime.
What a wonderful couple! Stephen and Roberta could not have done a better job of looking after my house and garden and especially Bella. I would have absolutely no hesitation in inviting them to come again. They kept in touch and sent me frequent updates and photos, Bella had lots of fun and exercise and I returned home to a super happy dog. I also have to make special mention of Roberta’s green fingers - my garden has never looked better! Thanks so much and I hope to see you soon.
From the moment Stephen and Bobby arrived we knew the doggies would be happy with them they are such a lovely couple and to win Tilly over so quickly is no mean feat and we felt happy going away knowing they would be fine. It was great having daily updates of their adventures up the Malverns and around the fields. We came home to a nice cup of tea and catch up and were sad to see Stephen and Bobby go, as were Tilly and Hugo. We were so lucky to have such a lovely couple for our first THS and hope to see them both again.
Would like to give Stephen and Bobby more than 5 stars, in every category, in fact we’d like to kidnap them permanently! Our dogs have had the most wonderful time with them, going on long walks and being thoroughly pampered and cared for, the house was tidy and even the log baskets had been refilled. A special couple. We hope to see them again but they will get be in huge demand and we might not get a look in....
Great to see Bobbie and Stephen again. Hendricks was impossibly delighted - he knew he would get wonderful walks and lots of attention! Both cat and dog were so well looked after and the photos we were sent were much appreciated. We came home to a very tidy home and two very happy pets. Great housesitters. Thank you.
What a fabulous couple. Our dog Nelson was so sad to see them leave, there was an obviously great bond made and Stephen and Bobby really did care a great deal for our dog. We had regular updates and photos and a lovely meal waiting for us from a very long journey when we returned. Extremely thoughtful couple who actually do really love to walk, so we came home to a very happy and very well exercised/played-with and content boy. They made our house their home and we hope they will return.
Stephen and Bobby are a lovely couple. We returned to happy dogs and had regular updates with photos whilst we were away. We would be more than happy to have them come back if they would like to.
Stephen and Bobby were perfect housesitters! They were super flexible about arrival and departures times. Rosie, our Labrador puppy, had a lovely time and we received regular updates and pictures of all the great walks they were doing. The house was left in immaculate condition and they even waited for our late arrival back so we could meet and say hi before they left. They are a really lovely couple and we would really like to have them house sit again any time. Highly recommended.
Fantastic house sitters and were amazingly flexible with our ever-changing travel arrangements. The dogs had a wonderful time and we wouldn’t hesitate in welcoming them back. Thank you!
What can we say, Stephen and Bobby were a dog owners dream to have looking after our precious pup. Our 2 year old lab was so well walked, that he’s done nothing but sleep since we got home. That, and he’s bereft they left, having looked after him so well all week. We were kept updated throughout with pictures and tales of their adventures together, and they even stayed to welcome us home to fill us in on the week they had all enjoyed together. We would not hesitate to have them sit again and have already sent them dates for potential future sits. Thank you both for adoring our boy and looking after him so well. Josie, Ross and most importantly Nero
Stephen and Bobby came to house-sit at relatively short notice (we normally organize these things more than 3 weeks in advance) as we had substantially to change our holiday plans (thanks, Mr Putin). Making arrangements was easy and they turned up as planned and were well organised for their stay. They were an easy and social couple who seemed well on top of their remit both before and during our departure. Crucially, they demonstrably liked animals and Samba and Tango in turn clearly liked Stephen and Bobby! We were routinely reassured that all was well during our holiday with messages and pictures which were much appreciated. Above all, when our flight back was cancelled a couple of hours after it was meant to have taken off, our efforts to re-book alternative flights and to return were made far less stressful and difficult by relaxed and supportive messages from home assuring us that our revised plans could be accommodated and that it wasn't a problem. For that, we will be eternally grateful and Stephen and Bobby deserve every accolade - they are wonderful housesitters!
We struck gold when we found Stephen and Bobby - the house was left spotless, but more importantly, our dogs were given the BEST time. We received regular updates with photos of their adventures together leaving us in no doubt that the dogs were being beautifully cared for and spoilt rotten...we were even a bit worried the dogs would be disappointed when we returned home! We couldn't be more grateful for everything they have done.
We were very fortunate to have Bobby and Stephen to stay in our home for 10 days to look after our two lovable but quite bouncy dogs. They have looked after the dogs so well, given them so much love, TLC and exercise, and have left the house immaculate too. We received regular updates on our dogs' walks and the fun they had together in Norfolk while we were away. We would thoroughly recommend Bobby and Stephen and can't wait to have them back.
Stephen and Bobby were perfect house sitters. I'm not sure I need to write much more. They were very good at communicating in the run up to the sit, they were flexible in arrival and departure timings, but most of all I know that they looked after our house and pets with great care and attention. Bobby took amazing photos of the dogs going on lots of adventures to local places that we haven't even explored ourselves. The house was very clean and tidy on leaving, and was looked after with care. They were quick to understand how the house works and I knew would be practical and reliable if something were to go wrong. Stephen and Bobby were really good in welcoming us back in our jet-lagged state to our house, well stocked with provisions, and were flexible when I got the return date a day wrong! The dogs were so sad to see them go, and are a little in mourning as I write. I would definitely recommend them as sitters.
We were so lucky to have Stephen and Bobby sit for us, looking after Dylan over Christmas and New Year. They were a delightful couple who Dyl adored from the start, and he really appreciated all the long walks every day, despite the non stop wind and rain! We had regular updates with photos and videos, and nothing was too much trouble - even offering to cook us a casserole on our return, filling the fridge with essentials and leaving us croissants from our local bakery! We would all happily welcome Stephen and Bobby back any time. Many thanks.
Stephen & Bobby are the very definition of professional sitters - everything was so easy; from initial chat through to the sit itself everything was orderly and smooth. S & B clearly enjoyed walking Mabel & Amber, our Vizslas, on Salisbury Plain where there are miles and miles of different routes to enjoy and to exercise. It is lovely to welcome those sitters to Rose Cottage who appreciate what the village and surroundings can offer. Naturally the house was left spotless - fingers crossed Stephen & Bobby will come back!
I can't thank you enough for being such tremendous house sitters and we are grateful to be able to go away without a worry at all.
Anyway, thanks so much once again. Enjoy your next adventure or just enjoy relaxing afterwards at home!
Once again, we were delighted to welcome back Stephen and Bobby, but nowhere near as delighted as Billy & Ollie were. Billy knew Stephen & Bobby's patience for throwing tennis balls way exceeded ours (hours!) and both our doggies greeted them like long lost friends.
Thank you guys! It's lovely to know that the dogs and house are in safe hands with you and we love reading your blog and seeing the wonderful photos. All the best and we'll see you again soon! xx
Simon and I can’t thank Stephen and Bobby enough for looking after our mischievous and much loved Labrador puppy, Tara so beautifully. She absolutely loved them both and they took her on some wonderful walks, accompanied her to her Tip Top training class on our behalf and met and made friends with many members of our village. It’s always difficult to ask someone to take on the care of an energetic puppy but they did so with great enthusiasm and love. We felt more than happy to know they were living in our house and when we returned from holiday we found the house looking immaculate. We loved the updates and photographs of their adventures with Tara and she really was sad when they departed, We sincerely hope they will be happy to return to house and dog sit again for us. I know Tara is keeping her paws crossed that they do!
We were delighted when Bobby & Stephen agreed to come back to us to housesit for us for a second year running. Once again they did the most amazing job at looking after our two dogs, Ronnie & Gladys. The dogs were spoilt rotten with multiple walks per day, and were taken out and about on more exciting and varied walks than they normally get from us. The only downside is knowing the dogs were probably a little disappointed when we returned!! We were regularly kept updated with photos of two happy dogs on all their adventures which was so reassuring to see.
We got home to a spotlessly clean house & spotlessly clean dogs. Not only that but they had even mowed the lawn & de-weeded our planters! We couldn't be more grateful to Bobby & Stephen for everything - we feel very fortunate to have found them.
The dogs had a wonderful time, they could not have better pet sitters. I felt hugely grateful and for all the dead heading off my roses! I was kept so well informed as what was going on at home. Brilliant photographs came through on What’s App. A lovely reliable couple.
Stephen and Bobby sat again for us. Really hard to beat other reviews, but they have been brilliant. Both our dogs were so well looked after, lots of walks and care. They took on chickens, ponies and the cat with ease. The house was perfect when we came home, and we were treated to home made pancakes and smoothies. Bobby and Stephen remain unflappable, calm, reliable and overall a great house sit. No hesitation recommending Bobby and Stephen came highly recommended to us and certainly did not disappoint.
Bobby and Stephen came highly recommended to us and certainly did not disappoint. They looked after our one year old lab/retriever Skye with great professionalism and care and she absolutely adored them. They took her on wonderful new walks and even took her to her weekly dog training session. The house was left immaculately and the added touches of flowers to greet us on our return and the offer of preparing a meal for us were greatly appreciated. We and Skye are very much hoping they will return one day but in the meantime a very big thank you and we would have absolutely no hesitation at all in recommending them.

I also came home to an immaculate house which was wonderful. I can totally recommend Bobby and Stephen as house sitters and would be very happy to have them back again, next time I go away.
Bobby and Stephen, once again, really looked after our pets and our house. They have a really good understanding of dog behaviour and are very clearly loved by our pets. They remain a delight to communicate with prior to the sit, were on time and looked after the house well, and when we came home from holiday had cooked us a meal. Overall, brilliant sitters! Thank you.
