“We thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity to care for Hebe and Phillip's dear dogs and charming home. Hebe and Phillip are friendly, hospitable hosts, with whom communication was relaxed and easy. Their home is comfortable and easy care. Being semitropical, the lawn enjoys growing quickly and, as it is a very large block, does require time for mowing. Billy and Cassie are obedient, playful, happy dogs who enjoy walks along the beach, ball play and just keeping you company wherever you are. They are adorable. Burringbar is a small rural town, however nearby Pottsville has an IGA supermarket, doctors, dentists etc. The beach there is awesome. A Coles/Woolworths supermarket is also situated within a 20 minutes drive. We would happily do it again.”

“We loved our house sit for Hebe & Philip, looking after Cassie & Billy. We had an easy & comfortable stay in their beautiful home in Burringbar. Communication was great from the get go with clear instructions on how to care for the property and both dogs. Hebe & Philip were warm and welcoming, making us feel at home and we hope to stay in touch with both of them! The property opened up to an amazing garden surrounded with lots of greenery and an array of plants & flowers with enough passion fruits to last a lifetime. A beautiful and peaceful place to unwind in the afternoons. We loved Cassie & Billy and will miss their funny little personalities now that the house sit is finished. 
They were both very well behaved and were great company throughout our stay. We hope to house sit for Hebe & Philip again at some point in the future.”

How lucky were we to find Anna & Duncan to house sit for us for six weeks. They remained good natured in the face of unseasonal bad weather (blame climate change), were efficient in managing all the things that went wrong like a healthy cattle dog being sick on the carpet, a naughty kelpie finding something revolting to roll in and my lovely tree dahlia uprooting itself in gale force winds. They communicated with us on a timely basis so we were kept fully informed about one mishap after another. All along I was confident of their ability and skills around the property so I continued to have a wonderful holiday with peace of mind. My dogs loved both of them and would welcome them back any time. Thanks Anna & Duncan. We loved having you and look forward to seeing you again soon.
