Reviews for Lorraine

5 stars stars
“My husband Paul and I had a fantastic 7 weeks looking after Lorraine and Allan's beautiful home and caring for their adorable 2 male dogs and 2 male cats.
To begin with, Lorraine went to incredible lengths to make sure that we were comfortable and settled in her home. She emptied her entire wardrobe for us to use. This was so appreciated as we like to unpack and settle in for the long sits. She also made sure we had plenty of pantry and fridge/freezer room.
Lorraine was also extremely organised and left all routines, emergency procedures and details in written form. She even left a typed list of where we could find absolutely everything. Very, very helpful.
Communication before and during the sit was frequent on both sides and while Lorraine and Allan loved receiving all the photos of their boys, we also enjoyed hearing about their travels overseas.
The home was spotless on takeover and a very comfortable house to live in with a great, breezy balcony overlooking North Stradbroke Island.
The best part of the sit was the animals. Zeus and Buster the dogs, were so well behaved and really well trained which made our job so easy and pleasurable. Also very affectionate and would look lovingly into our eyes when we were giving them attention.
The cats, Figaro and Tom Tom were also extremely affectionate, well behaved and lovers of their humans. They were great company for us and they thrived on our company too.
All 4 boys were very gentle and had beautiful natures and great characters. It was very easy to fall in love with them and think of them as our own. We do miss them and will definitely call in to visit them when we are close by.
We would highly recommend this house and pet sit and would be thrilled to return ourselves in the future.
