We were so lucky to have Anthony look after our fur baby. He left the flat cleaner than we left it, washed all his bedding and towels and even left us welcome home flowers and gift!

So thoughtful.

And he of course, showered our dog, Sugar in love and attention, all the while keeping us updated via WhatsApp.

Plus, we were lucky enough to spend one evening with him and he’s very good company too!

If there is an 'elite' level of house sitters, Anthony has to be at the top!

From the moment he got in touch, even to the present day after the sit, he has been charming, thoughtful, very caring, witty... just all-round wonderful!

We had a bit of a nightmare just before we left, in that our dog needed to have a suspicious lump removed from his foot urgently. This meant of course that Anthony would have to be a doggy nurse, and would not be able to get out and about on walks with Bentley for the first week of his sit.

I was worried that it might be disappointing for him not being able to get out and about as much as he may have planned, and of course was also worried about my dog and what the lump might be.

What can I say, Anthony totally reassured me that not only would he be comfortable playing nurse, but that Bentley's health, happiness and welfare was his highest priority, and he would be very happy to do whatever was required. Such a relief! We left as planned for our holiday knowing that Bentley would be in excellent hands.

Thankfully whilst we were away we had a call from the vet to say that the lump was benign, which allowed us to relax even more on holiday!

Whilst we were away, Anthony kept in regular contact and sent us lots of fantastic photos of Bentley. It was very clear from the photos that not only was Bentley recovering extremely well, but that he also seemed to be having the time of his life! As the paw got better, they were able to get out and about more, and I'm quite sure Bentley had an amazing time.

On our return, the house was immaculate. We had some beautiful flowers and a charming card, and I must say we were rather sad to take him to the airport for his next house sitting adventure.

If you are lucky enough to get the opportunity to have Anthony house and pet sit for you - jump at it with both hands!

We would certainly count him as a friend, and very much hope to be lucky enough to cross paths with him again sometime soon.

Thank you Anthony! 5*'s are not enough, but that's all we can leave! xxx

Having accepted Anthony's offer of house sitting, I had several phone conversations prior to his arrival, and honestly felt comfortable at that point.

Anthony arrived precisely when he was expected, and despite his dynamic personality, melded into our household very naturally.

He was very attentive with regard to our wishes whilst we were away, and very natural with our small dog, Rastus.

During our absence, Anthony regularly sent fabulous photos and very positive messages about life "at home".

We both felt so relaxed and happy and were able to focus on the amazing places we were experiencing. Upon our return, the house and garden were perfectly in order and Rastus was as happy as...and in great condition. Anthony had the fridge stocked with dinner organized.

We live in a small village and Anthony has been embraced by all the residents. We feel he belongs here but understand he must continue his journey.It has been our privilege to have had this wonderful experience.

We thank Anthony for his friendship and professionalism and hope he finds his way back to the Clare Valley to visit us and his many other new found friends.

Many thanks

Ross & Gail

Anthony is not a 5 star house sitter .. he is a 10 star house sitter.

Anthony is the fifth house sitter that has taken care of my dog and my home in the last 18 months.

Each and every experience has been positive and rewarding and each and every house sitter has been five out of five, but based on this, Anthony is an easy 10.

From the moment we were first in touch, his clarity and articulate communication made him stand out and this excellence continued in every area. Utterly charming,

Anthony is incredibly kind and thoughtful and it became instantly clear that his number one priority and commitment was to make sure that my dog Flash was happy, comfortable, entertained, exercised, relaxed and settled.

Anthony was in touch throughout my absence, sending incredible photos and keeping me updated on Flash. I have never felt more confident that my dog was in safe hands - and probably having an even nicer time than when at home with me!

This was pretty much confirmed when, on returning, we went for a lovely walk together. Anthony went ahead to take some photographs and Flash, left behind with me for five minutes, became quite agitated and whinged until he reappeared! They had only known each other for the weekend!

Not only was Flash a very happy dog on my return, the house was immaculate. Sheets were changed, his bed was re-made and the laundry was done. Even the broken handle on my kitchen drawer had been fixed.

Anthony had bought food incase I was hungry and left flowers and a card on the kitchen table.

I can't really rate Anthony any higher or recommend him any more!

If you are lucky enough to have him apply to take care of your home and your pets, jump at the chance.... He's the best.

He takes on the responsibility and duty of care with an enthusiasm and grace. He listens to every detail of every instruction - and Flash and I can be quite high maintenance 😉

Thank you Anthony - we loved meeting you and having you to stay and really hope you will come and stay as a guest and friend in Scotland soon x x x

Anthony came to the south of Spain to look after our two dogs and apartment for four whole weeks.

He did a great job, the dogs were very happy to go to the beach early every morning for a good walk and swim, not with me but with Anthony,

He kept the same routine, which is really good for the dogs.

We met Anthony a few days before we left and had a very nice time with him.

He is the perfect housesitter, very sociable, fun to be with and knows what the dogs need and like.

I can highly recommend Anthony! Hope to see him next year again.

Anthony stayed in our house for two weeks, looking after our very bouncy and very energetic two dogs.

This was the first time we had used a housesitter and we were a little nervous.

We needn't have worried - within an hour of having met Anthony, we felt so comfortable around him and could see that the dogs loved him and would be well cared for in our absence.

During our holiday we received regular photo updates (truly wonderful photos!) and were totally confident that the dogs and our house were being well looked after.

Anthony, on our suggestion, was in touch with various family, friends and acquaintances or ours, none of whom could believe we had "got so lucky"!

On our return the house was immaculate, with flowers, a fruit bowl and food basics awaiting us.

The dogs had clearly had a wonderful time!

We spent two very entertaining evenings with Anthony before and after our trip and I can honestly say that I felt sad when he left. I'm sure the dogs are missing him terribly!

We will welcome him anytime in the future, whether as a housesitter or simply a guest in our home.

Thank you so much Anthony - what a pleasure to meet you and have you in our home.

We welcomed Anthony into our home to take care of it and our two dogs for a week in June.

Anthony took our dogs on many adventures and captured the moments on film in a way we never could.

Anthony kept us informed throughout the week via these lovely pictures.

We returned home to find our home in order and two healthy, happy exercised doggies.

I would recommend Anthony to anyone searching for a sitter.

Thanks Anthony

When I was looking for a house sitter I read one of Anthony's reviews and it said that if you had an opportunity to have Anthony house sit for you - do not hesitate!

I cannot reiterate that more strongly - he was fantastic!

Although I have had house sitters in the past , this was my first experience of trusted house sitters and it was very successful.

The dogs were so happy with him and he took them for long walks.

One of them had broken her paw and her leg was in plaster and he took her to the vet and gave me updates on her progress.

He brushed them and gave them a bath and when I arrived back they sat at his feet and clearly adored him.

He also looked after my two horses and made sure they had everything they needed.

During his stay the ceiling in one of the rooms was leaking and he contacted the plumber and made sure that the leaks were mended before we came back.

There was trouble with the internet and he made sure this was fixed. He kept us informed at all times but I always felt he was in the control of the situation and there was no need for me to worry.

When we returned , we came back to an immaculate house. He had mowed the lawn, washed the car he had used, in and out, watered the plants and house was filled with flowers.He also made a wonderful video of the garden.

We were lucky enough to have him stay on for a couple of days which gave us an opportunity to get to know him better.

I cannot recommend Anthony highly enough and I would love to have him back in the future.

Our first ever Trusted House Sitter, and what a lovely experience.

From the first time Anthony contacted us to offer a sit, I felt comfortable with him.

As soon as I read his reviews I knew he was like gold dust, so confirmed immediately.

His communication with us was first class from start to finish, and he is a very kind and unassuming man.

We returned to find our animals happy in his company and the house was cleaner than we left it.

I would highly recommend Anthony as a sitter, with the bonus of him being a professional photographer who takes wonderful photos of your animals. We plan to frame some of the photos he took of our dog Charlie playing football!

He is a very conscientious and is a professional sitter.

Many thanks to you Anthony, and I hope we meet up with you again one day, either in Australia or UK.

This house sit was Anthony's second with us, and to say we were delighted when he responded to our request is an understatement.

Anthony is the ideal sitter; friendly, organised, reliable, a dog lover, and very enthusiastic about the win-win situation for home and pet owners and sitters alike.

Our dog loves him and he gives her fantastic care and attention and treats our home and car with respect, what more do you want?

He also cut the grass, washed the car, prepared lunch for our return and had flowers on the table.

He is a star. If he responds to your request for a sitter, accept him without delay!

Anthony was completely fabulous. Totally unfazed by the menagerie or our idiosyncratic 400 year old house.

All my animals adored him from the minute he walked through the door, including a normally very shy cat.

He took his role really seriously, was totally diligent, left the house immaculate with food in the fridge and flowers to come home too, and kept in touch while we were away.

What more could you ask for?

Would have him back like a shot,

thanks Anthony.

What can we say, what a fantastic house sitter.

The dogs Oscar & Billy took to him straight away and didn't look back when we walked away to go on our holidays.

The house was immaculate when we got back home, with Anthony leaving us beautiful flowers and chocolates to welcome us back home.

Anthony was a very warm and honest person who you took to straight away.

Anthony made sure we would arrive home to a nice warm,clean home,he even laundered his bed for us.

What a gentleman and hope that we have made a dear friend of this fantastic guy.

Would definitely have him house sit again.

Anthony was exceptional.

Our fury kids were well cared for, walked and feed and play times.

The house was cleaner when we returned than it was when we left.

Anthony took many photos of our kids and regularly updated us while we were away.

We have a wedding business and he even showed people through the venue.

We thank Anthony very much and would highly recommend him for any future house sits.

Bern and Tony

Well Anthony is a real gentleman.

We arrived home today to an immaculate home, extremely happy pets and flowers and wine as an unexpected thank you.

He even mowed the lawn! And that was only after a week's stay.

Anthony was in contact right up to the time he arrived so we were never in doubt we could go away knowing our home and precious pets were in good capable hands.

He checked in a few times just to reassure us all was well.

He is personable, smart and very easy to chat to. He can find his way around and is quite independent and capable.

We can totally recommend his services and will have no hesitation to call on him again if and when our timetables coincide.

Janet and Rob

Anthony stayed at our home to look after Henry (11) and Jasper (2)

Both miniature schnauzers.

He was very understanding of the different needs of our dogs as Henry is now blind and Jasper still very bouncy.

We came home to an immaculate flat and two very happy dogs who clearly loved his company.

We would recommend Anthony to anyone without hesitation. He is a delightful person to have around.
