Cat Sitters in Barking

Kenneth & Sophie

Steve was very good with my two dogs, they came happily for walks.

Anna

Anna looked after our two old dogs, fish and a Praying Mantis! From when we first made contact I found her easygoing and responsive to messages. Everything went smoothly with her care of the house and animals. A reliable and self sufficient house sitter I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Thanks

Francisco

Francisco & Syntia were perfect housesitters and we would love to have them back again. The pets were well cared for and the house was left cleaner than we left it! Communication was great and everything was very easy. Thanks so much guys!

Carla

Kairos was well looked after and it was clear they enjoyed each others company. Our house was taken care of and there was good communication throughout. Thanks so much!

Conrad & Ashley

Conrad and Ashley were absolutely great, very communicative, sent photos, took care of the dogs and our home perfectly. Would highly reccomend. Thank you guys 😊

Meg

Meg was a brilliant house sitter. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she was really flexible when we asked if she could possibly stay on later on the last day than we originally agreed. She looked after the pets really well, managed to walk Kubi - who is a medium/big dog who occasionally likes to pull on the lead - with no problems. She took him out in the rain and dark for his last walk quite happily. Meg was very polite and considerate; a pleasure to have and we would not hesitate to recommend her to other house owners.

Madeleine

Madeleine looked after Klaus and our house exceptionally well over the Christmas and New Year period, allowing us to enjoy a fun holiday without needing to worry at all. Klaus was well-looked after and was taken on lots of fun adventures. Madeleine left our house extremely clean and tidy, making our return really easy. Klaus misses Madeleine and we wouldn’t hesitate inviting her to housesit or hang out with Klaus again anytime in the future!

Lucia & David

Lucia was excellent looking after Mr Darcy. She made every effort to find how best to look after him. She kept us updated and him during her stay. The house was left clean and tidy and Mr Darcy seemed very happy.

Third time! Sylvia is amazing. Would not hesitate at all to have her back anytime.

Jenny

Oh my goodness, it's hard to know where to begin when it comes to Lexy.  Beginning with our first interaction online, she was outstanding in every way. She followed up her initial inquiry by checking in again, asked excellent questions in our Zoom chat and stayed in touch regularly in the weeks before her arrival. I was still a little nervous, but I knew my pets (and plants!) were in great hands immediately after meeting her and her mother.  Sure enough, she provided me with videos during the two weeks they were here, was resourceful and took initiative when it came it two minor issues with our chihuahua (rash and eye redness), kept our apartment spotless and spoiled us with an array of Polish treats.  I will most definitely ask Lexy to housesit again and have my fingers crossed that she'll say "yes."
