Maxine and David are truly AMAZING! Right from the very start, even before I had met them, their kindness shon through and I felt like I’d known them for years. There is something so comforting about their presence. I was really really nervous to leave my kitties, Miso and Maki. But as soon as Maxine and David arrived I felt at ease. I could have stayed and spoken to them both for ages if I didn’t have to leave for the airport! I left feeling confident that my cats were in the safest hands- and they absolutely were. Right from the start Maxine kept me informed which was super helpful. While I was away she sent me lots of lovely updates which put me at ease. Miso and Maki LOVED Maxine and David. Maki is slow to trust new faces but Maxine and David soon became his best friends! Maxine gave them loads of cuddles, so much love and the best play times they have ever had! She made sure they were always entertained mixing up their toys and coming up with new games to play. Maxine also gave me loads of great advice and recommended so many great kittie products which I have now purchased and they are life savers! Maxine and David were so easy. Nothing was too much for them, they took care of the cats with ease. Not only did they take brilliant care of the cats but they looked after my home exceptionally well too. For example when a car backed into my car Maxine and David handled the situation amazingly and were so keen to help in any way they could and they solved the issue there and then. There was also a minor power cut while they stayed which caused the house alarm to go off and somehow they managed to fix it when even I didn’t know how! And as well as Miso and Maki, a completely different neighbourhood cat (Travis) managed to find his way into our flat! Maxine and David took him in too, made sure our cats were ok and safe and also looked after Travis. They contacted his owner and made sure he got home safely. I’m genuinely amazed at how kind and caring they both are. Maxine loved and cared for my cats as they were her own and it was lovely to watch their bond grow. Honestly if you’re worried about leaving your pets- get Maxine and David over!! I can assure you you will have nothing to worry about!
Andrew and Penn did a wonderful job of looking after my 3 pups and the house. They arrived punctually the evening before so that we could get to know each other better before we left. They communicated every day with pictures and videos and activity updates. The dogs were very happy and well cared for, and they left the house very clean and tidy. I would highly recommend them and definitely would love to have them come back for future house sits!
