Highlights
Pet care experience
Mother & Daughter duo, animal lovers, writers
My daughter and I have been looking after dogs for over 10+ years and have had the most amazing time. We've looked after dogs (big and small, puppies and old) cats, chickens, ducks, rabbits, doves, hedgehogs, a horse and mice. Our sits have taken us across the UK and America, we truly love housesitting all the pets and meeting their wonderful owners.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
We have over 45+ 5 star reviews for house sitting previously and from all our experiences have dealt with numerous situations. We're both very caring, know that your dog is your baby, we call ourselves the 'Fun Aunties'. We look after your pups as if they were our own, we always keep and leave a house clean and tidy and will send you daily updates and pictures. We can both administer medication and fit our days around your pups schedule.
Ratings and reviews
Valirie and Ornella look after our two Yorkies and Cat for two weeks and all we can say OUTSTANDING! You will never find a more caring and committed team like them. We received the most beautiful pictures and messages every day. I can definitely recommend them and I will use them going forward. Well done !!
Valerie and Ornella are amazing! We’ve used them before with our older dog and they immediately got on with our new dog. They sent plenty of updates and pictures which we appreciated. Thanks so much for looking after our two doggies 😊
Valerie and Ornella are conscientious and thoughtful dog and house sitters. Our dogs Franklin and Milton thoroughly enjoyed their week in their care, judging from the daily batches of photos and updates sent to us on holiday. From our face-to-face and online conversations ahead of the sitting, I was confident the dogs would be safe and happy with them and that undoubtedly proved to be the case. They looked after the house well and left it tidy, clean and a little shinier. Thank you Val and Ornella!
Valerie and Ornella are just lovely, and I feel very lucky that they came here to look after my pets. They were house sitting for 2 nights looking after my dog Simba and cat Olive. They are experienced pet sitters and made an effort to come and meet us before the house sit. They provided regular updates whilst we were away, and they were very accommodating with departure and arrival times. The pets were relaxed and happy when we returned and the house was immaculate. I would highly recommend them for house sitting and would be very happy to use their service again.
Simply the best. Amazing dog sitters, our dog loved them. We are so happy we’ve found Val and Ornella our holiday was a pleasure knowing we didn’t have to worry about our dog. They left the house spotless. Will definitely be using them again.
Valerie and Ornella have been absolutely amazing. They kept me updated with frequent pictures and left the house spotless. They immediately got on really well with Lilka and I felt happy in the knowledge that she was being looked after by them. I would definitely use them again.
