From our first video call we felt Lucy would be easy to communicate with, flexible, able to take our situation/requirements on board without issue, and someone we could trust. These initial feelings were reinforced once we met and during her sit. We agreed she should come a couple of days before we departed so we could show her round the neighbourhood and explain the details of the house and pets. We left confident that our house and pets would be well looked after, and this definitely proved the case. Unfortunately Lucy developed a cold on arrival and was certainly under the weather initially though she did not let this interfere. Lucy did a great job of looking after Jake and our new cat Simba, demonstrating a great love and care for them, soon winning the affection and confidence of both. Simba,being in part feral, has always been vary wary of any strangers and immediately disappears as soon as anyone calls round, but even before we left Lucy had gained his trust. We also lent Lucy our L200 truck, having put her on the insurance, and this was also well looked after. Lucy did encounter some issues with the internet and other minor problems, but via phone calls Lucy was able to explain the problem and I to provide a solution which Lucy had the technical ability to understand and thus resolve the issues. She kept in regular contact with frequent photos/videos of what the pets were up to and did a good job of looking after the house, even sweeping up the copious amounts of leaves that had fallen. It was a pleasure to have her stay, we wish her all the best in her future travels, and hope she will come and sit again sometime in the future. We have no hesitation in recommending her.

We are so grateful to Jenny for her care and consideration towards our cat and our home! Jenny kindly shared update photos throughout her stay as she knew we were missing our furry friend. Jenny also left our house in pristine condition and was kind enough to manage a few personal items for us.

We loved having Annie & Thomas as sitters for our two cats. It felt right from the beginning. Communication went very well before and during the sit. They had issues with getting here and public transport because of a general strike, but they managed this perfectly! They kept us updated, found a solution en reassured us that they would make it in time. Their calmness made us feel at ease and not worried at all. 
The first meeting was very nice. We were ourselves in a bit of a stress because we had to leave in time to the airport. But Annie and Thomas felt this en reassured us that it would be fine. They listened very well to all the info, asked some smart questions and were very easy to talk with. We left with a very good feeling that everything would go fine during our travel. 
They send us pictures from Chili and Pepper and kept us updated. They also asked some questions about things that they could or could not do. Which we really appreciated. 
When we returned home we found two very happy and well taken care of cats. We could see that they had a good time! Our apartment was clean and tidy. Everything was well taken care off. They even made sure we had some fresh bread and fruit in the house! 
When you get the chance to have Annie and Thomas as sitters for you, don't hesitate! You will leave your house and pets in some very nice and trustworthy hands!
