Sally has looked after our house and dogs for the past few years now. She is extremely conscientious and so caring with our dogs. She totally understands one of our dog's funny ways ! It makes our holiday so much more enjoyable knowing she is in charge. I don't know what we'd do without her !
We were lucky enough to have Sally housesit for us for two weeks back in August and she was BRILLIANT. To be left in an unfamiliar house with a multitude of tasks and animals to care for would overwhelm most people but Sally took it all her her stride. We have a very busy household which includes four dogs, four horses, three donkeys, two pigs, chickens, a couple of tortoises and a cat which means that the daily routine consists of a lots of checking in, feeding, walking and generally rushing about making sure everyone is content.
On top of that we had a thriving veg patch and a newly landscaped garden to be watered daily as we were in the middle of a particularly hot spell. 'Unshakable Sally' took care of everything beautifully and kept in contact with me whilst I was away to reassure me that everything was fine at home. She's super organised and very efficient and has a calm and measured approach to everything.
Her gorgeous Labrador Robin accompanied her whilst she was here and he was a brilliant house guest too! My house was spotless when I came back which was SUCH a thrill. Together they are a house-sitting dream team and I just cannot recommend them highly enough.
My boys, Buddy and Harry, mean the world to me and I know that when I ask Sally to look after them for me that she looks after them as if they are her own. Sally will always put the dogs first taking them on some wonderful walks and she is great at keeping in touch with me as to how they both are sending messages and photos throughout there stay. One amazing lady with a big heart. My boys are already booked to spend a week with Sally next year and this time there will be 3 of them as my new little pup will be staying with her too.
I’ve known Sally for many years now & trust her implicitly with my Dogs. She looks after them as her own, giving me peace of mind when we are away with her updates on what they have been up too. My girls don’t want us to come back !!

I always know my dogs and home are in safe hands when I leave them with Sally. She is extremely conscientious, and her down-to-earth approach is just what is needed when she is trusted with running your home in your absence. I whole-heartedly recommend her.

I am delighted to be asked to provide a reference for Mrs Sally Plant who has house-sat for us on a number of occasions now. I’ve known her for a number of years in the gun-dog training world and was interested when she announced that she was to become a professional house-sitter.
We live in a slightly isolated position on the edge of Sutton Bonington and have 4 gundogs, 2 cats and about 20 chickens plus at regular intervals we also have puppies and incubating chicks and also I am a keen gardener and have many plants in the garden, the greenhouse and in the house which need proper attention particularly in summer.
Sally has moved into our house and taken care of our brood with the level of attention and competence which was first class and we returned to a house which was warm and clean throughout. I have no hesitation in recommending her services to you.
Sally has been a good pal for many years. When she decided to have a change of direction and start a small business house sitting dog sitting etc we jumped at the chance of using her services.
We have a kennel full of very enthusiastic working Cocker spaniels which are not for the faint hearted as far as looking after them as they certainly keep you on your toes they are great little dogs but are always very busy !! Sally came to stay for a "trial" weekend looking after the dogs and the house - that was 18 months ago and she has stayed here umpteen times since. All the dogs love her she has taken the time to get to know each one of them and their little ways. When we get home you would never know she has been in the house everywhere is clean, neat and tidy and she always there to welcome us home.
We would not hesitate in recommending Sally to anyone who is thinking about using her.
I would recommend Sally wholeheartedly. She is very experienced with looking after dogs, having had dogs of her own, and is also a good trainer if you have a young dog. Being a nurse makes her an excellent choice and she has empathy and compassion with older dogs, she has looked after two of our older dogs and I have been very impressed with their overall care. She is a very personable, honest lady and I would not hesitate to recommend her.
