Where do I begin?! The beginning: we had a trip to Norway booked and our original sitter pulled out not long before we were due to leave. In the storm of a blind panic, I reached out to Glenise via a private request in the wee hours of the morning asking if she would possibly be free to sit for us for just over a week. They say a picture paints a thousand words, and from Glenises’s photo alone, I instinctively knew that Glenise would be someone I would want living in my house. I was so relieved when Glenise’s first message pinged through later that morning saying that she was available on the given dates. Glenise’s communication was excellent and my mind was then even more firmly put at ease after our first conversation. Glenise described herself as very self-sufficient. And this is so true. When the day before our trip arrived, I met with Glenise at King’s Cross Train Station after work so we could catch the tube home together. I am so very grateful for Glenise making the long train journey from Scotland to London. Nothing seemed like too much hassle for her. I knew from the outset that Hank and Margot, my two gorgeous ragdolls, would be very happy and safe. The middle: On the morning we were leaving, Glenise and I ran through the cats’ routines together and general things to know about the house and garden. It all seemed so effortless - Glenise wrote things down in her little blue notebook and nothing seemed too much trouble. As we drove away to the airport to catch our plane later that morning, I had an overwhelming sense of calm. It was obvious that Glenise was very caring and loved cats. The end: I arrived home to two cats who were so happy and well adjusted, seemingly oblivious to the fact that we had been away as their routine had obviously stayed the same and they had been provided with first class care and love. The house was spotless and I was so delighted to be given two lovely bunches of roses, a thoughtful card and two books edited by Glenise! As a wonderful act of kindness, Glenise also gave Lina, our cleaner, a box of chocolates too. Lina was over the moon! Glenise, you are very special. Thank you for making the trip down and for your care and compassion. Aaron and I and Hank and Margot (as well as Mr One Ear the fox who you lovingly fed) are all very very grateful that you stayed at our house. I truly hope our paths will cross again soon. ————- “Caring is the bridge that connects us to one another.” (Thich Nhat Hanh, The Art of Communicating (2013)) ————-

Joanne and Jorge were a pleasure to have watching our 2 cats. Joanne was well communicative, sent daily pics, and took great care of our cats. Our house was also spotless on return which is such a blessing after traveling. One of our cats has a timid intuition about people and ended up warming right up to them both!
