Thank you @temba Nothing could have helped us get to our family sooner in thes pandemic times with all the restrictions but Housesitting is certainly going to help us stay longer, and little pup Charcoal will be great fun.

@kitsits -Thank you so much sweetie we are sooo excited . There’s been a small change for us because of the new variant, we have to now self-isolate for 72 hours on arrival. But after that all being well and tested negative, I will get to hold my little grandson . Thank you for being so happy for me xx

Following our good news story, the exciting news that we had our travel entry to Australia accepted and a Housesit booked for 7 weeks close to our family, Sydney area, with little pup Charcoal. We had so many kind messages so we just wanted to give an update to say that we have had a fabulous time caring for sweet Charcoal, he was a delight, the Housesit was perfect, the location close to our family was perfect and Charcoal loved meeting our family and adored little Frankie our Grandson that we were meeting for the first time and have now had almost 3 months with.
We’ve said bye bye to Charcoal now and about to begin our next Sit allowing us a few more weeks close to our sons and Frankie before we have to return to the uk. We’re so grateful to Housesitting for this amazing time we’ve had enabling us to spend so much time with our little Grandson and Charcoal was the perfect pet, we miss him loads and hope we get to meet him in the future on our return trips to Sydney.

Thank you Julie, it must have been so hard saying goodbye to that adorable little boy … the furry one you are still with the other adorable little boy 
Sharing your lovely memory video …
… and of course your global fame with CNN, it’s been quite the trip to remember but mostly for your time spent with family after 2 years apart.
