Andrew has been an absolute superstar! He was a proactive communicator prior to the sit and then he turned up during a bit of a drama for us... One of the cats had gone missing 4 days previously and we were very stressed and worried about it all, and the other cat is on pain relief medication dental issues, and all routines were up in the air. To make it more chaotic for Andrew, 10 mins before he arrived, a neighbour had notified us of a possible sighting of the cat so we had to abandon Andrew virtually as soon as he arrived to go off hunting for the cat whilst also needing to get on the road! We didn't find the cat at that point so Andrew was left with requests to leave food outside etc, also the cats previous fosterer turned up to look for him one evening - all of which Andrew handled with kindness and generosity, even though this encroached on his sit time and meant he had strangers at the house! Also we had some cameras trained on strategic places to try and catch sight of the cat and Andrew was very gracious about this, despite this clearly being a bit of an invasion of privacy. Thankfully the cat DID come home after 6 nights )caught on camera!), but again this meant more asks of Andrew - who continued to be wonderful with all our asks - he checked all was ok and ensuring cat flaps were locked and put out new food etc and was very considerate about ensuring he cared for the cat's needs and ensuring he couldn't escape again! Despite all this, Andrew left the house in immaculate condition and responded to all messages immediately (despite the time!) was very friendly and chatty - as I said at the start, he was basically a super star!!! We'd love Andrew to sit for us again - and hope that if he does, it will be a LOT less dramatic and more relaxing for him!

I could not recommend Karen more highly to look after your home, and your pets. This is the first time I've used the service, Karen was the third person I looked into - the others were unavailable, and as it turned out - fate and the stars aligned. We have three cats, very different personalities - sociable, suspicious, scared of her own shadow. We have a large home in the countryside and we are very private people. Karen was outstanding in her approach, professional at the outset and deeply aware of what we needed for our cats. Trust.

We were away for several weeks. We organised a get together before hand, we provided as much information as we could, Karen was diligent about asking questions from her side. As it turned out I had to delay my trip out, but Karen was super accommodating and understanding. 

We returned to our three cats, healthy, calm, well adjusted and not freaked out by us leaving or coming back. Karen was amazing with that cats who really bonded with her quickly - which was a first, we do live in a secluded place, our eldest cat recently suffered a road accident trauma, we are private as mentioned - and the cats don't accept everyone - but they did Karen. That speaks volumes as to Karen's maturity, kindness and being approachable and warm with our pets. It's a cliche - our cats are members of our family, we don't hand over our house to anyone. Karen is the first, and I warmly recommend her to anyone looking for trust and calmness, responsible and giving to your home and pets.

Karen provided us with communication throughout and total peace of mind.

We have not been away for many years, due to the Pandemic, and so this trip was tinged with trepidation and knowing there would have been some adjustments for the cats. It was as if we had never been away. 

Thank you Karen.
