Cat Sitters in Charlton

Anais & Ben

Anais was a very courteous host for our dog Basil and our cat Bargle with clear communication and updates while we were away. She left the house incredibly welcoming to come back home to. would recommend.

Jessica

Jessica is enthusiastic and very positive. She sent regular updates and Nero was well cared for. There was a misunderstanding about checking out of the apartment. I prefer sitters leave before I return and unfortunatrly Jessica was still cleaning the apartment for some time when I came home.

Simon & Celia

Celia was very caring of the dogs and our home. She sent lovely updates about the dogs. The house was spick and span on our return and we are very pleased it went so well for her and her parents. Thank you! 🙏

Penelope

We know Penelope from a previous sit so we were confident that she would do a good job. She arrived on time ,settled in before we left for our holiday. We had some reassuring text from her during the week, and on our return, Coco seemed completely happy. Thank you Penelope!

François

We were really lucky to have Francois and Evveline back to stay to look after Ruby. Ruby has got to know them now, and hangs around with them more than she does with us! :) F&E sent us lovely picture updates of Ruby, and we also had friendly chats with them too. We like to think our house is clean and tidy, but F&E always leave it completely spotless, and even changed the bed linen on their bed. We can’t thank them enough for caring for Ruby and our home, and hope we will be able to host them again in future.

Tegan

Tegan was the first to offer to look after Alfie. We had a WhatsApp video chat beforehand and she was very enthusiastic, asked all the right questions & we were very happy to have her sit. She arrived promptly and immediately gained Alfie’s confidence. Tegan was communicative during the sit & sent a number of updates of Alfie on his walks and exploring York. The house was as we left it on our return & we’d have no hesitation in recommending Tegan for future house sits!

Annie

Annie is fabulous. She communicates frequently and sends lovely photos on the many walks she took Rumi, my dog. I came home to an immaculate home and a very happy dog who seemed very fond of Annie too. I can highly recommend Annie and I do hope she will housesit Rumi again.

Daisy

Daisy and Will looked after Jack (our Jack Russell) for just over 3 weeks. I was a bit anxious - it was the first time he had stayed at home without us (previously he had gone to his old doggy day care). I needn't have worried. Jack was well looked after (so much so I was worried that he would want us back)! Daisy and Will did a great job looking after Jack and our house - we came home to find it neat and tidy. We would happily recommend them and use them again.

Ellana & Casey

Casey and Ellana were fantastic sitters and I would have no hesitation in recommending. Their communication was excellent and both animals received loving care. They gave me photos and brief updates daily (as requested) and kept the house in great order. Casey even took a huge delivery of boxes for us and stacked them in our office. Highly recommend.

Katarina & Gavin

Katarina and Gavin were great while I was away, even coping with a broken kitchen tap! The house was in perfect order on my return, Woody had obviously been very well looked after and I would totally recommend these two for your Housesit.

Iryna & Tommy

Iryna and Tommy were stars! they looked after both Ruby and the house immaculately. There was an electrical problem (a faulty circuit breaker) which meant kitchen power was lost- including the fridge freezer. They responded proactively and organised an electrician with speed and efficiency. They were also prepared to be flexible when a friend nearby had a mental health crisis, which was very kind and charitable. All in all they are great Zeewoi.

Catherine & Bruce

I highly recommend Emma and Bruce to anyone who wants a lovely, reliable house/pet sitter. Emma was very easy to communicate with, friendly, organised and tidy. She took the time to get to know our pets and was keen for us to go for a walk before we left so she could uderstand how our dogs were on the lead and in public spaces. When we returned from our trip our dogs were relaxed, happy and i could tell they were cared for very well by Emma and Bruce. We had our cleaners come and clean the house on our return but Emma kindly stripped the beds and put the washing in the machine so it was easy for me to do remake the beds again. Everything was as we left it all organised and tidy. Thank you Emma and Bruce for taking care of our home and pets and we hope to see you again!

Rebecca

Liz has been the most fantastic house and pet sitter.  She visited us twice before the sit to familiarise herself with the animals and in particular Zula who always gets a bit nervous about us going away. 
Zula has the best time - Liz thoroughly spoiled her , always walking her early during the UK heatwave and even making her chicken stock ice lollies!! The pigs got frozen fruit and skittles the cat found that liz’s bed was a great place to seek to get lots of fuss and attention - 
Liz watered the garden and pot plants during the hot weather and it was so nice to come back to healthy looking plants too 
Liz gave us regular updates the whole time we were away and we returned to some very happy animals and a lovely tidy house.
I would book her over and over again if I could

Luke

We couldn't be more thrilled with Sophia's incredible care for our beloved cat, Axel. Axel is not just any cat—he's an acrobatic, lovable, hairless wonder who requires a special kind of attention, and Sophia exceeded all our expectations!

From the moment we met her, Sophia's warmth and professionalism were evident. She took the time to understand Axel's unique needs and quirks, ensuring that he felt comfortable and loved in our absence. Her dedication and genuine affection for Axel were truly heartwarming.

Sophia went above and beyond, keeping us updated with regular photos and videos of Axel's playful antics. It was clear that Axel adored her, and seeing him so happy and well-cared-for gave us complete peace of mind.

Sophia didn't just take care of Axel; she also looked after our home with the utmost respect and diligence. Coming back to a clean and tidy house was an added bonus!

In short, anyone who has the opportunity to have Sophia watch over their home and pets should consider themselves very lucky. She is amazing, trustworthy, and truly exceptional at what she does. We can't wait to have her back again! Thank you, Sophia, for being the best cat-sitter we could have ever hoped for!
