Before the sit
We make sure everyone has all the details they need
Send us an enquiry
Contact us with the dates you would like to book us, your location, and some information about your home and the pets that we’ll be caring for. If you only have a rough idea of your dates, that’s fine too!
Booking enquiryWe reply within 48 hours

We aim to fit seamlessly into your routine, so your pets won’t even know you’ve gone!
We carry out all our house sit responsibilities, as outlined by you and agreed upon by us. We stay in touch as much as requested throughout, providing photo and video updates if needed. On the final day of the sit we execute a thorough clean and tidy, and ensure the house looks the same as if you’d never left! We make sure all dogs have been walked and all animals fed as necessary before your return.
After the sit
We hope you had a great trip!
We may contact you in the days after the house sit to request feedback. If you’d like to book us again in the future, get in touch directly – we love to return to house sits and settle back in with furry friends!
Testimonials
What our clients say about us
Really helped us feel at ease
From the moment we met Suze and Chris at our home, we could see them start building a relationship with our dogs, which was immensely reassuring. We usually only leave our pets with family, so it was a relief to see how comfortable Ginny and Orla were with them. The photos Suze sent us throughout their stay really helped us feel at ease, knowing that both dogs were settled and happy. We returned to a lovely clean house, just as we had left it.

Ten out of ten
Suze and Chris were delightful. Helped us out of a jam by agreeing last minute to sit Dassa and were so friendly. They took amazing care of Dassa and we felt really comfortable… Especially because Dassa was on a tricky medication at the time. Ten out of ten, hope to see them again!

Chris & Suze are truly the best house and pet sitters
So incredibly glad we found Chris & Suze, a truly wonderful couple with a real love of all animals! They managed to accommodate our super last minute request to look after our very young, very playful kittens! Chris & Suze are truly the best house and pet sitters! Booking with them was easy, professional and as first time kitten pawrents needing a sitter, they guided us smoothly through the process and alleviated all of our concerns during our initial phone call with them. We got to meet them both just before the sit too, which was great because we could get to know them both as well as introduce them to the kittens! The kittens really couldn’t love them any more, we got regular updates (and reassurance!) each day, the kittens really came out of their shell with them too which shows just how much love and care Chris & Suze put into their sits! As for the house, they cared for our house like it was their own, it was immaculate when we got back (probably cleaner than when we left!), they’d looked after the garden for us too in the crazy hot weather! Nothing was too much trouble, they certainly made us feel comfortable and left an impression on our furries, as well as us, and we can’t wait to have them stay again in the future!

Our girls were so very happy with them
Having followed them on socials for a little while, we were lucky to get Chris and Suze when they unexpectedly had some availability which fitted in with us. All the communication with them was prompt, professional and friendly. They arrived before we left for an intro and we quickly felt reassured about leaving our home and our girls with them - Labradors aged 2 and almost 10. We had lovely updates and some gorgeous photos which are a delight. Our girls were so very happy with them. The house was well looked after and I would absolutely recommend them. Thank you Chris and Suze.

Their passion for animals shines through
Chris and Suze looked after my two dogs, a 16 month old Cane Corso and the other a 2 year old English toy terrier. I instantly felt at ease and confident my dogs were in good hands, they both have a natural way with dogs and their passion for animals in general shone through. It was Echo's birthday whilst I was away, Chris and Suze went above and beyond to make it special, with custom made party hats and a birthday present box of treats. I cannot thank them enough and was blown away at how kind and caring they were. I didn't worry at all whilst I was away as they kept me updated with pictures and messages. My house was well looked after and left clean, tidy and as I left it. I would highly recommend Chris and Suze for their first class care, communication, positive and organised approach!
ChantalEllesmere
Very happy dogs
Chris and Suze have been amazing housesitters, looking after our three dogs. It is the first time we have had housesitters and they were perfect! The dogs loved them and we couldn’t have asked for more. It was so good to come home to a well looked after house and very happy dogs.
CherylPulborough
We felt at ease
We got on with them both straight away and felt at ease! The boys had a lovely chilled out time in their own environment whilst we were away and we could tell they were fully looked after. We also were sent some beautiful photos of both our dogs! Would not hesitate in booking you guys in again and already planning our next trip with this in mind! Thank you.
Jenna and SamSouthwick
They were amazing
Suze and Chris took on the challenge of house sitting for newbies AND a four month old Doberman puppy. They were amazing on both fronts, guiding us through the process and then taking wonderful care of both the puppy and our two Bengals. The house was immaculate when we returned and we felt total peace of mind while we were away. They kept us updated on how our pets were doing and in addition, Chris took some extraordinary photos of them all and sent them to us as keepsakes. We would recommend them unequivocally and will use them again ourselves.
Lise and JamesEmsworth
Incredibly responsible and reliable
Suze and Chris were just incredible! So kind and caring and not to mention the gorgeous pics we got of our babies while we were away. Suze and Chris take their full time sitting very seriously and are incredibly responsible and reliable. We would be thrilled to welcome them to our home again some day!

A lifelong bond has been made!
I can’t thank Suze and Chris enough for making our first venture into house sitting such a smooth and easy experience! They are super organised and with their enormous experience in looking after pets and houses we knew we were in safe hands from the moment we had our first video call (recommended by them). We received regular updates, photos and videos which made everything feel so much better for leaving our pets and when we got home Billie and Nala really didn’t know if they should come to us or stay with them, clearly a lifelong bond had been made! The house was spotless when we got home leaving us just to deal with our own unpacking. I highly recommend Chris and Suze especially for those who are on the fence about whether to take the plunge and get house sitters. A great first sit! Thank you so much!

I’m already planning on their return
As soon as I read Suze & Chris’s info I knew they were the ones to sit for us and I wasn’t wrong! Communication was very prompt from the start and they arrived with perfect timing. They are a relaxed, easy going couple, with plenty of sitting experience with various animals, big and small. This leant to an easy handover and I left feeling very confident in their ability to take care of everything, which is what you want when you go away. I was given regular updates through the week. I was even sent some lovely photos of the pets, I will be framing a few as they are that good!! The house and barn were left immaculate on our return. In fact my husband commented that he had never seen the place so tidy!! In all, Suze and Chris are a lovely, easy going couple that you instantly feel at home with. I can totally recommend them and I’m already planning on their return. Thanks both, see you soon!

Highly recommended!!
Suze & Chris we absolutely brilliant! They looked after our animals really well and the house was clean and tidy when they left. They had even washed and dried the bedding for us. Chris is a fantastic photographer and sent us some beautiful photos of our gorgeous animals. We would definitely have them again. Highly recommended!! Thank You
ClareYeovil
They clearly love animals
We were lucky enough to get Suze and Chris to house and dog sit for us for a couple of nights and they were absolutely fab, they clearly love animals and Winston was very happy and comfortable with them from the outset. They are quietly confident sitters, delightful, thoughtful and friendly personalities, calm, capable and caring. They kept us updated with photos from their various outings and left the house immaculate with all the linen kindly washed and back on the bed. Would highly recommend them and would welcome them back here in a heartbeat. Really super lovely couple.
JoannaBeaconsfield
Absolutely amazing
Suze & Chris were absolutely amazing as sitters for our flat and more importantly for our two pets. Our cat, Arturo, even took to cuddling with them at night when everyone went to sleep (something he typically does not do with brand new sitters!). The flat was handed back to us in pristine condition and Suze & Chris had even been so kind as to wash and dry the sheets and replace them on the guest bed. We received consistent updates on the animals, which we love while we are away. I cannot recommend Suze & Chris highly enough - we will surely be inviting them back into our home again the next time we are away!

I came back to a very happy dog
Chris and Suze are a wonderful couple and great housesitters. I came back to a very happy dog and a sparkling clean home. Chris was kind enough to come earlier in the week to meet and do a walk around. They also waited with Aki at home until I was back. They are a very nice couple. I would love for them to housesit for us again. I highly recommend them.
Chris & BasakLondon
Do not hesitate to book them in
Everything you want in a house sitter. Easy going, reliable, tidy, and all-around an absolute pleasure to deal with. I went away and Suze and Chris just got on with it, as I said I didn't need constant updates, knowing full well they would have updated me if asked. Do not hesitate or think twice to book them in. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks Suze and Chris!
IanLondon
Amazing experience
Suze and Chris were amazing with my two pugs. They stayed at my apartment for a weekend and were constantly sending me pictures of the dogs. Amazing experience and will definitely recommend them.
PaolaLondon
Cuddle experts
This was Suze and Chris’s third sit for us and the longest. Once again they were first rate sitters and once again Jem (our lovely Saluki-X) was very sad to see them go! He loves a cuddle and they are clearly cuddle experts! Once again the house was left as found and all the usual communications were prompt and friendly. Have no hesitation in recommending them as excellent dog and house sitters.
GeoffHove
Our dogs didn’t notice we were gone
These guys were great! We needed a sitter for a really short time (24hours) and they stepped in and helped. Our dogs, Bill and Ben are grumpy old men who know how they like their lives and are usually quite upset by us going away but when we got back the boys didn't seem to have noticed we'd been gone!! I would recommend Chris and Suze to anyone looking for a caring sitter and hopefully we can have them back again in the future.
CharlieRoss on Wye
A lovely, friendly couple
Suze and Chris were fabulous, came home to a lovely tidy house and very happy doggies. Constant updates on the boys which we looked forward to every day. Such a lovely, friendly couple would be very happy for you to look after our 2 chaps again. Thank you very much.
Paul and KarenPresteigne
I highly recommend Suze and Chris
Suze and Chris were amazing house sitters! As soon as the sit was confirmed, we made contact on WhatsApp and they made sure I was comfortable and had all the information I needed. During the sit, they sent me regular updates about how it was going along with photos of the pets. I could tell from the photos that all three pets were feeling happy and bonding with Suze and Chris which put my mind at rest and allowed me to relax on my holiday. They were comfortable giving Felix his twice daily medicine and he seemed in great shape when I returned! Suze and Chris took wonderful care of my apartment, I think it was even cleaner when I arrived home! They even made sure the sheets were washed and left a lovely card at the end of the sit! I highly recommend Suze and Chris as thoughtful, considerate house sitters who will take great care of your pets and home!
LauraStockholm
The perfect partnership
Suze and Chris sat for me for the third time and yet again proved themselves to be the perfect partnership. They are calm, supremely well organised and so kind to my dogs, plenty of cuddles, lots of fun and games and really long walks. They kept me updated on a regular basis and sent some wonderful photos - Chris needs to go professional as a photographer. They also looked after my holiday cottage, far better than I do, in fact! It has never looked cleaner. They also coped admirably with the inevitable mountains of washing. I cannot recommend Suze and Chris highly enough, they are just amazing, greeting me with lunch and cake on my return. I do hope they will come and sit for me again.
KateNorfolk
The pets had been loved and well cared for
Suze & Chris just sat for the third time for us. They were reliable, good communicators & clearly still a hit with all of our animals & new additions. The house was clean & tidy too & we knew the pets had been loved & well cared for as ever. Thank you once again & we will definitely ask you again x
KathyRotherfield
We would be delighted to have them back
Suze and Chris were perfect housesitters, and we would be delighted to have them back again. Our dog Ludo was very well looked after and the house was left in perfect order. They sent us some lovely photos of Ludo and the chickens while we were away, and we felt confident throughout that we had left our house and pets in good hands. Many thanks!
KatieSlaugham
Conscientious, trustworthy and friendly
We were so pleased to have Suze and Chris house and dog sit for us whilst we went away. They were exactly the conscientious, trustworthy and friendly people we were hoping we would find to look after our Golden Retriever Bess. We met them just before we left for a brief handover, and were immediately reassured that Bess (and our house) would be in dependable, capable hands. Whilst we were away, Suze and Chris kept us updated with what they'd been getting up to with Bess including sending us plenty of photos. She was clearly having a great time. And when we returned, we found the house had been thoroughly cleaned, tidied and was left spotless. Our experience was very positive and we would be delighted if Suze and Chris wanted to house sit again for us in the future. Thanks guys!
NeanDartmoor
Fantastic house sitters
Suze and Chris are fantastic house sitters. We came back to a very clean house, they had washed and changed the bedding and towels, there were also some delicious homemade peppermint truffles waiting for us. Ben and I had to ask them to do a couple of things for us while we were away and they were incredibly obliging. Most importantly, our parrot Murphy! He was very well taken care of. He was happy and looked very content and that is all we could really ask for. I hope that Suze and Chris are free to come and sit for us again, hopefully in the very near future.
Victoria and BenHarrogate
Really super
I cannot praise Suze and Chris enough. It was the second sit they have done for me and I can go away safe in the knowledge that my Siamese cat will be loved and beautifully cared for as well as the house. All really super!!
VickySevenoaks
The perfect housesitters
Suze and Chris were the perfect house sitters! We knew that our dogs and cat were left in safe hands and were having plenty of attention. The animals had a lovely time and Chris sent us some beautiful photos. Suze and Chris were organised, prompt, efficient and kept in contact perfectly. They were very thoughtful and left the house beautifully too. Highly recommended!
LucyHastings
Kind and caring
Suze and Chris came to look after my dog Piggy and were absolutely wonderful. They were kind and caring and I would recommend them 100%. The house was immaculate and Piggy was so happy as was I!
AnnaLiss
I had absolutely nothing to worry about
Suze and Chris took care of my kitten Sumo while I was away for a week. It was the longest I'd ever left him for, so I was nervous! But I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Suze and Chris were extremely professional and sent me updates every day. They were super self sufficient and took amazing care of little Sumo and my flat as well. I have absolutely no complaints and would absolutely recommend them as petsitters - you'd be lucky to have them!
MargotLondon
They looked after the dogs so well
I was very nervous about using a sitter but Suze and Chris were great, keeping in touch in the run up to their visit and then sending me daily updates and pictures of their walks and antics whilst we were away. They looked after the dogs so well, even bathing them - and their bedding! I would not hesitate in booking them again or recommending them.
SamanthaMeopham
They are clearly full of love for dogs
Suze and Chris did a wonderful job looking after Mimi. They are clearly full of love for dogs, even troublesome ones like Mimi. She’s still only a puppy so I was apprehensive about leaving her but Suze and Chris soon won her trust and Mimi had a lovely week. It was great to get updates with photos so that we knew she was ok and when we got back the house was immaculate. Thank you so much, we were able to have a much needed holiday as a family without worrying about Mimi.
CarolineAshford
My dog adored them
Suze and Chris were amazing as things got complicated by a hospital visit and they worked around me brilliantly. My dog Freddie adored them and his extra walks! Even my cat Millie accepted her medicine from them. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again. Lovely people!
AlisonTonbridge
We’ll definitely book again
Brilliant pet sitting Suze & Chris! Regular updates, photographs, tidy house and a calm, competent manner. We’ll definitely book again x
