Beautiful Bath Dogs/Cat Sit
Had the best time looking after the dogs Reggie and Vanilla, and Scout the cat in this loveliest of cities. Nick and Catherine were very welcoming, full of local information, and showed me the best walks for the dogs. Both dogs are friendly, especially Vanilla the Lab who will keep close by. Scout is happy to spend time with you and will keep your feet warm in bed. Nick lives in a quirky tall, narrow house within walking distance of great parks and bus stops if you don't feel like tackling the hills. But the views on the high path into the city are definitely worth the climb. And did I mention the shows, galleries and museums. Highly recommended.

Wonderful sit with Reggie and Scout
Nick's house is a beautiful attached home 30 minutes walk from the downtown center of Bath. There are many hikes within walking distance that offer stunning vantage points of the area, such as Solsbury Hill and the Skyline trail. The house is also within 5 minutes walk of a co-op supermarket which provides most basic amenities that you might need to cook with. The surrounding town of Larkhall is residential and classically appealing and we greatly enjoyed our walks with Reggie everyday. Reggie is a handsome lurcher who does not bark and has plenty of energy and affection towards people. He loves playing with his toys and doing sprints but, after some exercise, he is also very relaxed and sweet. Scout, who will come out of hiding once Reggie is not around, is also very affectionate and friendly. She has a big personality but is low maintenance and only needs to be fed, have her fountain filled, and shown some love each night before bedtime. Nick is quick to respond to any messages or questions, had great instructions prepared for us, and was very easy to get along with. We had a great experience with him, with Reggie and Scout, and with our time in Bath. We would highly recommend anyone looking at a sit for Nick in the future to do so!
