What can I say, excellent! I was kept updated and sent lovely pictures of Hettie, throughout the holiday, there was a minor problem which was dealt with promptly and the house was perfectly looked after. To top it off we came home to a beautifully cooked dinner. I would highly recommend and would love Fi and Andy to come and look after Hettie again, they go the extra mile.

What can I say! Fiona and Andy were amazing! Not only do my dogs love them but we do too!! As soon as we met them we knew that they were going to be great. They went above and beyond what we expected with the dogs and also Andy (who is very handy!) fixed/ sorted some odd jobs around the house that we have been meaning to do for months!! 5 stars all the way ... be warned though - book them early as their diary is filling up quickly with repeat sits!

This is the 2nd time Fiona & Andy have looking after our two cats Miso & Dashi, and it was as wonderful as before. They are both so lovely & friendly and do a really good job of looking after the cats - both cats so content when we got back. As before, they also left the house tidier than we had left it for them and always sent regular pictures and updates which we really appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to invite Fi & Andy back to house sit for us and would recommend them to other!! Thanks so much again guys :)

It was a pleasure having Fiona and Andy take care of our two cats over the Christmas period. They were all around terrific. From moment one, I felt comfortable with them and confident that I was leaving our two cats and home in great hands. And that proved to be spot on correct. It was a shame that their stay coincided with a sudden and acute spell of symptoms from the beginnings of kidney disease in one of our cats and that left them with a bit more cleaning up than any of us expected. Fortunately, that spell seems to have subsided (figures!). They managed it all with admirable practicality and self-sufficiency. I\'m grateful for that! I would recommend this dynamic duo to anyone without the least hesitation. Thanks so much Fiona and Andy! Happy new year and adventures to you both!!

Another wonderful house sit from Fiona and Andy. I feel like Im leaving my home and my carole in the warmest and safest of hands. Carole is extremely well looked after, lots of play time that she loves and the big bonus is that they take care of my flat probably better then I do, those lil jobs that need doing have been done and everything is sparkling clean. Wonderful, thank you

I was sent updates as Yoffi had an issue before my trip but being with Fiona and Andy she stopped ! Maybe they are magical couple - I believe so..upon my return not only was the house spotless and the washing on, Fiona had left me some delicous goodies for which I was super grateful .
They’re an outstanding couple and I so hope they come again .

This is the second time that Fiona and Andrew have House sat for us and again we couldn't praise them highly enough. The cat Nuffa loves them and I think she was a tad disappointed when we returned especially since we hadn't managed to lose the dog. They kept everything running smoothly in our absence and made us feel completely at ease while we were away so we could really enjoy our holiday. On our return the washing had been done and they had prepared and left us a lovely meal. I would highly recommend them unless of course we want to go away in the same week :o)

Fiona and her partner Andy helped me look after my dog Coll at the last minute via the Trustedhousesitters site. I was needing help due to a set of circumstances and their stay was to be 8 weeks. I am living in Australia and Coll is in London. Fiona and Andy looked after Coll, became part of the team, I have amazing photos sent to me every couple of days with updates, they are now my screen saver!
They helped with the vet for his international travel checks without hesitation and went out of their way to make sure all was done correctly and that Coll was happy.
I would recommend Fiona and Andy for their solid commitment to your dogs welfare, they will be getting updates about Coll's adventures overseas in future, part of the team!

the only comment I would like to make is I let Andy have the run of my garage,
but he left it in a bit of a mess.

Your response

Hi David and Marie thank you so much for your review and for letting us stay in your house and look after Hannah and xibo we really enjoyed our time there.
Apologies for the garage but as you decided to come home a day early with only two hours notice unfortunately Andy didn't have time to tidy up after fixing your sit on lawn mower for you. He hopes it's still working

We arrived home to four very contented pooches and a clean and tidy house and a welcomed lunch.
We would not hesitate to recommend them for your housesit and would welcome them back here should they be coming this way again.

Fiona and Andy house sat for us for 2 weeks while we were on holiday in St Lucia. They came round beforehand and we immediately knew that we would be leaving our house and cat Millie in safe hands. While we were away, Fiona sent us regular updates on how things were going and pictures of our very contented looking cat. When we returned, everything was spic and span, Millie was very happy and they had bought us some food so we could have brunch when we had recovered from our overnight flight.
The only downside is that Fiiona and Andy are avid travellers and thus it will be difficult for us to arrange for them to housesit and cat sit for us again as they are often away.
I cannot recommend them enough and you will be lucky if you manage to secure them to housesit for you.

They helped us out with deliveries and unexpected things that happened while we were away, so we were able to relax knowing things were taken care of at home. On our return they had washed the bedding and left us a lovely plant and a box of chocolates, very kind! We would highly recommend them.

The animals were happy and had all been given their various medications, and we returned to a nice clean house. Best of all they sent us lots of pics of the animals and the garden, which were really nice to receive. They are a cheerful, flexible pair, and we knew that if we were delayed on our return, one of them could have stayed while the other took on their following post.

Fiona and Andy were wonderful! It was my first time using House sitters so I was a bit nervous but I had no need to worry. They arrived with food for us all to eat together the first night and left me a meal in the fridge on my return ( delicious meals - thanks Andy!). They looked after Milly very well and had to take her to the vets one day and administer some medicine. They sent me photos of her on a regular basis and she looked very content. The house was immaculate on my return, with their bedding and towels washed. Fiona was very well organised in the run up to the house sit and called me on my return to check everything was ok. We are going to meet up when they are in this area in the near future. I would definitely ask them to house sit for me again and I have no hesitation in recommending them as house sitters. As an HR Consultant I am conscious of my obligations in providing a reference.

Wow, what a great experience.. First time using house sitters and I was a bit nervous about letting complete strangers into my home when I'm not there, also the fact I have a large dog, I was worried things could go awry.
Well, I needn't have worried. Fiona and Andy were amazing. A lovely young married couple who could not have been more pleasant and committed to making sure everything was alright with my dog and my home.
I was even driven to the airport and I came home to a lovely clean house and a very happy dog.
Knowing that they took great care of my beautiful Sheeba with lots of love and many walks and looking after my home the way they did, I would in no way have any hesitation in recommending these two gorgeous people for any housesitting requirements..
Thank you Fiona & Andy for everything,

I have known Andrew and Fiona in a personal capacity for the past six years and I would class them as two of my closest friends. During the past six years we have spent a great deal of time together and I have never found them to be anything other than trustworthy, reliable and generous.
I would have no hesitation in leaving them in sole charge of my home. In fact, there have been several occasions when my husband and I have gone on holiday and have left Fiona and Andrew with our keys and responsibility for both our home and our pets. I have never had any concerns over doing this and knowing that they have access to our home has enabled us to relax, safe in the knowledge that should anything happen it will be dealt with in the correct manner.
In addition to this, I can say that both Andrew and Fiona are responsible and possess the frequently elusive quality of sound common sense. I would utterly trust them either of them to be calm in a crisis and act with discretion.
In my professional role as a criminal barrister I am required to make swift judgements on a persons character. I have had several years to make this judgement upon the characters of Fiona and Andrew and can say, with conviction, that they are two of the most caring, responsible and trustworthy people that I have had the privilege to know.

Fiona & Andy were great house sitters and looked after our 3 dogs, 1 rat and 11 chickens while we were away. They came twice beforehand to meet the animals which was great as our rescue dogs are very nervous of strangers and they left the house as we left it - they even left us dinner for our arrival home! They are relaxed and easygoing and kept us informed of how everyone was doing whilst we were away. Recommended

Fiona worked with me at a global corporation for 7 years.

She managed the corporate lives of several senior executives, covering all of their travel, accommodation and meetings in a highly efficient manner.

Her reliability meant that she rarely, if ever, took time off and was available after office hours as needed.

She was adept at navigating complex organisational structures without any support or guidance.

Best of all, Fiona is a 'people' person, which ensured that our team members enjoyed coming to work every day despite the stresses and strains of the job.

I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Fiona and Andy were perfect house/pet sitters.

We met Fiona a few days early to give her the details of our home and pet dog Otto. She was very organized, even taking notes on details she wanted to remember.

Fiona arrived promptly on the day of our departure and made no special requests of us, even though we do offer to leave any preferred foods or beverages at the house for a house sitter. Andy joined her later in the day.

They sent us several photos Otto in our yard, at the park, and even snoozing in the living room so we knew he was doing well. We never once were concerned about how things were going back home.

When we returned there was a nice note updating us on how things went since we had told Fiona and Andy they were fine to leave a few hours before we returned. The house was spotless - they even washed the guest linens so we had no clean up to do. They went a step further and left us a few plants for the garden since they noticed we enjoy doing work there. It was very sweet.

I would definitely recommend Fiona and Andy to anyone looking for house sitters.

When we met Andy and Fi we had an instant feeling of relief knowing that our pets would be in good hands and had no concerns about their capabilities in their caring for our horses. They are both very organised and confident in their approach which our cheeky horses at times require. Our little dogs also warmed to them instantly and received many cuddles. Everything we needed was done exactly as asked plus Fi went the extra mile and cooked up some more food for our dogs for our return which was lovely. We have no hesitation in recommending them to care for your pets and home.
