Dwynwen (Ann) is an absolute treasure! She looked after our very energetic and sometimes naughty, 4 month old German Sheperd puppy, showing him great love and patience. We felt very relaxed while away that he would be in good hands with Ann. She also cared for our two guinea pigs. Our house was super clean and tidy on arrival and Ann was great at keeping us informed while away. She even stayed until we arrived home late at 9.30pm!
