Marian & Leon were excellent!
We went away for 3 weeks leaving our two dogs Lucy and Maisie in their care. We received regular updates and some great photos during their stay which was very reassuring.
We could tell that they really cared about the dogs and their wellbeing. When we returned home the dogs were happy and our house was left in immaculate order. They were also kind enough to receive a grocery delivery and everything had been put away ready for our return. Unfortunately we ... MOREMarian & Leon were excellent!

We could tell that they really cared about the dogs and their wellbeing. When we returned home the dogs were happy and our house was left in immaculate order. They were also kind enough to receive a grocery delivery and everything had been put away ready for our return. Unfortunately we weren’t able to thank them in person as we were arriving later after they had left. We can thoroughly recommend Marian and Leon as excellent house and dog sitters.
Thank you both and we hope you will be willing to return at some time in the future.

Marian and Leon have been fantastic from the beginning to the end on all bases, communication, care of our nine year old German Short Haired Pointer and house as well as cleanliness/tidiness and reliability. We are so grateful to them for taking care of our Bubba and would be happy to have them sit for us again in the future. Highly recommend!
MICHELLE (Twickenham England, Dec 2023 - 2 weeks 2 nights)
wonderful sitters. We found Marian and Leon to be super friendly, helpful and caring to our two dogs. They could not have shown more attention to detail and were so quick to communicate and sent daily updates/photos. They coped with a barrage of Christmas shopping parcels that I had ordered and were delivered annoyingly late in the week we were away
EMMA (Tidworth England, Dec 2023 - 1 week 2 nights)
Marian and Leon were fantastic house sitters! We got daily photos of our dog, who always seemed happy and well looked after. Marian and Leon were also so thorough before we left, and took copious notes of how to care for our house and dog which made me very comfortable to be away! When we got home, the house was spotless and our dog was very happy! Thank you, Marian and Leon!
MEGAN (Kentish Town England, Nov 2023 - 2 weeks 1 night)
We would not hesitate to strongly recommend Marian and Leon to look after your house and pets. We returned from holiday, to a clean house and a happy dog. Marian even cooked us a hot meal. Thank you!

Marian and Leon have just sat for us. We were so impressed with everything they did. They came to meet us before the sit with thorough questions. We received daily communication and lovely photos of Lola on lovely walks, Misty playing and Snowie munching. A lot of thought went into what they sent. The pets seemed so happy in the photos it made us totally relax whilst away. We returned to a spotless house and very contented pets. Lola looked so sad after they left. Really special and ...

Marian & Leon are lovely, caring people and looked after our border collie, Jessie, and our home wonderfully. There was excellent communication with them in the run up to the house sit, and they kept us fully up to date while we were away. I can't praise them enough, and would love to have them back when we next go away!
ANDREW (Newton Ferrers England, Jun 2023 - 3 weeks)
Mariam and Leon were the perfect sitters. My nutty doodle loves them - in fact he’s been running round the house looking for them and they obviously bonded so well. The house was immaculate and clean on my return and I haven’t got a single negative to offer. I’m just slightly gutted that they are so booked up quite a long way ahead ☹️
MARTIN (Folkestone England, Jun 2023)
Amazing sitters. Made Bracken really happy. House spotless. I do hope that they will return.
DEE (Chichester England, May 2023 - Two weeks)
Lovely warm,engaging couple who demonstrated kindness and consideration in their interaction with me .They were interested and concerned to ensure the health and safety of my car Mushy They communicated well and sent videos of her whilst I was away. The house was clean and tidy .
I would definitely recommend them and would ask them to house sit again without any reservation.
HELEN (Buckhurst Hill England, May 2023 - 8 days)
Marian and Leon were both charming, interesting and friendly. They looked after our old dog Bella very well She looked happy and well cared for when we got home. Marian and Leon sent us photos of Bella and communication was excellent. They are very organised and left our house spotlessly clean. They are the perfect house/dog sitters. Thank you Marian and Leon I hope we see you again.
JULIA (Kent England, Apr 2023 - 2 Weeks)
.This was our second time having Marian and Leon to house/ pet sit for us. We had no hesitation in checking in with them when we had firm dates and we were delighted when they said they were available. A couple of days before we were due to leave, our Spaniel, Conker became unwell and we took him to the vet. He was given medication but was still poorly so we called Marian and Leon to say that we would cancel our holiday rather than leave them looking after a sick dog. They kindly said that they ...

A couple of days before we were due to leave, our Spaniel, Conker became unwell and we took him to the vet. He was given medication but was still poorly so we called Marian and Leon to say that we would cancel our holiday rather than leave them looking after a sick dog. They kindly said that they were prepared to go ahead with the sit and give Conker his medication and any extra care required. We had daily updates and photos of both dogs and were able to have peace of mind knowing everything was in the best hands. We are enormously grateful to Marian and Leon for their caring nature.

Marian & Leon were the perfect house sitters. From the very first communication it was clear that they understood the responsibility of looking after someone else’s pets and home, which gave me the reassurance needed. I was away for 2 weeks, during which time they kept me updated with photos and news of Frankie my dog. On my return, not only was the house very clean and tidy, but I could tell that Frankie had been well looked after and was extremely happy in their company! I would welcome them ...

CAROLINE (Southampton England, Mar 2023 - 2 weeks)
Leon and Marianne looked after our dogs very well and they were well and happy on our return. The house was fine and they coped with one or two problems easily- we would recommend Leon and Marianne and hope they will return to us in the future.
SARA (Tenterden England, Jan 2023 - January- March)
Marian and Leon were simply incredible. They left the house pristine, and Jimmy, our dog, was clearly happy and healthy. They are a wonderful couple.
Communication and all else was simply great.
I couldn't recommend them highly enough, and I won't hesitate to reach out again next time! Anyone would be lucky to have them.
Thank you very very much for everything :)
FLORA (LONDON England, Nov 2022 - 3 weeks)
We really couldn't have found better house sitters than Marian and Leon, at every level we would have given them more than 5 stars if possible! They were incredibly efficient and capable at looking after the house and garden, even dealing with a leak through the kitchen ceiling! Importantly they were wonderfully kind and loving towards our 3 dogs, one with impaired vision, and we appreciated the regular updates and photos. We couldn't recommend Marian and Leon more highly and can't wait until ...

I would highly recommend Marian and Leon to house and pet sit. From our first communication via a video call, I knew that they were caring and conscientious by the way they asked questions and showed interest in our dogs' needs. They arrived in good time to have a thorough tour of the house, get to know our dogs and familiarise themselves with the area.
During the time we were away, we received many photos and updates on how things were back home, which was very reassuring for us. Upon our ...

We're very happy to know that Leon and Marian would be willing to return for another house sit as we would most definitely have them back again. Thank you very much for being amazing house sitters!

Marian and Leon recently sat for my wife and I for a period on nine weeks. The quality of the care that they provided, is best exemplified by the five stars ratings we have given. They were great with our dog who one week later still appears to miss them. They took her on really long walks each day with a photograph of where they were and the dog looking happy. We let them have free use of the car, which we handed to them with it looking rather grubby, They handed it back immaculate. Leon mowed ...

We let them have free use of the car, which we handed to them with it looking rather grubby, They handed it back immaculate. Leon mowed the lawns as requested, which was no mean task given that our garden is one acre. We returned to find all of the apples picked and stored ready for winter, the house was clean and orderly. I could go on, but all I can say is that nobody would have any regrets in using them.
PAUL (Ross on Wye England, Aug 2022 - Nine weeks)
Marian & Leon were brilliant house and pet sitters for us. They kept our plants watered, our house tidy and our dogs walked daily. I cannot recommend them both more highly. They were so flexible and when asked took our dogs to the groomers whilst also keeping in contact with us sending pictures and updates regularly. Our dogs will miss them and we hope to have Marian and Leon again when we next go away. Please call if you want to ask more questions - 07710745204.

Marian and her partner Leon were incredible house-sitters.
We were traveling internationally for an entire month at the height of one of the Covid-19 waves to see our family we had not seen in over two years. We had never left our dog for this long.
They were communicative, friendly, responsible and took great care of our little dog Leo.

They were diligent about all the instructions left and accommodating and flexible with regards to the possibility of cancelled or changed plans.
I would highly recommend Marian and Leon to anyone looking to put their home and pets in a pair of safe hands while gone.
FEDERICA (London England, Dec 2021 - 30 days)
Marian and Leon did a house sit for us in August 2021, looking after our two dogs and the house and garden. We came back to a spotlessly clean house, a tidy garden and most importantly - two very happy and settled dogs. They kept in touch throughout the holiday, sending us photos of the dogs and keeping us up to date. As they asked for detailed instructions about dog feeding, emergency contacts, house rules, etc in advance, there was no last minute panic about forgetting to tell them something ...

MILENA (London England, Aug 2021 - 17 days)
Marian and Leon have done several housesits for us now, including a week in early August and then again for the recent bank holiday weekend.
They are always reliable, look after the house well and our two dogs love them. Would highly recommend them.
CORINNE (Milton Keynes England, Aug 2021 - 10 days in total)
Amazing house-sitters - came home to a spotless house and very happy pets. They happily extended their stay when our circumstances changed and also dealt with vet trips & pet circumstances above and beyond what we would have expected. Great communication up front and a pre-prepped checklist of everything they needed information wise which made the overall process really easy. Also sent regular pictures of the cats and were quick to query anything they thought might be out of the ordinary for ...
