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)) ————-

What a joy to have Alison and Andrew looking after Lédon and Violette! My cuddle monsters took to them very quickly and I was able to leave knowing my little world was in good hands. They were a perfect match exceeding themselves at every moment. I'm very happy to know them and I hope we can meet up again. Thank you so much.

Maggie was flexible with us because our trip kept changing due to weather. She communicated daily that our elderly dog was doing fine which was appreciated.

Gia was great with our 11 month old golden doodle.  She won Nellie's heart at our introduction time,  they instantly had a great connection.
Gia took her for walks every day for 3 weeks, rides in the car (which she loves), and snuggled plenty. 
Gia took great care of our home and house plants. She left our home clean and tidy with a happy pet. We recommend Gia if you want a quality experience.
