Cat Sitters in Chetnole

Barb

Brodie was very sad to see them leave, house was left immaculate, we could not have asked for any more.

Denise

There ought to be more than 5 stars. For Denise. She has been before and is always welcome. We feel very lucky if she has the free time to come to us. Cannot recommend too highly.

Emily

Emily was with our pets Jimmy the cat and Carola, our dog for a 2 month stay while we were away in Spain. She was wonderful with them and they were well cared for and happy when we returned. Emily fell ill her first week sitting but we were able to send Carola to a local dog-walker/sitter for a few days while she rested and recuperated from a very bad flu. Jimmy stayed home and kept her company. Cats are easier to care for even when sick. The house was in order also with the aid of our housekeeper who helped out and knows exactly how and where things are kept and organized. Not speaking Italian may have been somewhat of an issue when problems arose but we have very helpful neighbors, hence the 4 star for self-sufficiency due to the language barrier. I'm certain she's perfectly self sufficient in English speaking situations. We did have an electrical problem when a fuse unexpectedly blew and a heating issue, both resolved within 24 hours or less. Unfortunately Emily was without heat during that time and we suggested she use the small space heater until the problem could be resolved. Always good to have emergency back-ups in place. I was able to reset the date/time for heating system with Emily by phone using whatsapp. We regularly received photos of her walks and park runs with Carola. Also photos of Jimmy snugggling up to her. The pets were obviously content during our absence and spoiled with brushings, treats and lots of love. Emily kindly bought us some breakfast foods when we returned which was very considerate. Emily is a reliable and attentive sitter. Your pets are in good hands with her!

Miri

Leo and Miri came to look after our two dogs, two cats and nine chickens for five weeks. I honestly couldn't fault them. We felt so lucky to have them holding the fort while we were away. They were completely wonderful from start to finish. Great communication and they appeared really responsible and attentive right from our very first zoom call where Leo impressively took notes for the entire conversation. They were so loving, caring and nurturing towards our animals, sending photos and updates regularly, we really felt that they were in the best hands. Various things needed attending at our house while we were gone (that we hadn't anticipated) and they dealt with them brilliantly, and efficiently. We were so grateful for their help, patience and understanding. They left our home immaculate (I think actually cleaner and tidier than we left it) and they clearly took pride in looking after our home as if it was their own. I really hope they will come back in the future and I would highly recommend them. Thanks Leo and Miri!

Sally

Sally and Jerry were wonderful They are lovely people who took care of our pets, plants and house better than we do. I could not recommend them more highly and hope they will come back to sit for us in the future. Sally left us a delicious curry and dal in the fridge on our return which was quite beyond the call of duty but was a great welcome home.

Ali

Ali is a delightful cheery person and was the perfect house sitter. All our communications were easy and comprehensive. She is totally reliable and organised. Molly was very sad to see her leave and had obviously been very well looked after. I would not hesitate in asking Ali to sit again.

Jane

Jane was so lovely and couldn’t have asked for anyone better to take care of our pets over Christmas! Would gladly have her back any time!! x

Arina & Olena

Didn't get to meet but Arina seemed lovely and taro had a great time :)

Hannah

Always a pleasure to have Hannah back to sit for Augustus!

Becky

Becky was the perfect house and pet sitter! I find it really hard leaving my pets with anyone but felt absolutely at ease whilst I was away in full knowledge that they were being looked after perfectly. Becky kept in contact with photos and news about Fremmy and Mowgli and on top of her perfect pet sitting she left the house spotless!

Lisa

A huge thank you to Lisa for looking after our home and our dog, Dillon. Lisa kindly came round for a meet and greet before the sit and her friendliness and true love for dogs shone through. Dillon took an instant like to her. During the house sit she kept us regularly informed with texts and photos and she clearly gave Dillon lots of love and attention. When we returned home we found the house cleaner than when we had left it and she also left us a welcome home pack which was really thoughtful. We would have no hesitation in recommending her or booking her again. Dillon has found a new auntie who he is missing already! (The only reason for a slight loss of 5 stars all round was owing to having to find other sitters/walkers for part of our holiday but this was purely down to Lisa’s house move which is completely understandable). Thank you from us all. Please keep in touch Lisa x

Olivia & Archie

Olivia did a great job looking after Archie (the dog) whilst we were away. All communications with Olivia were excellent, and because she was local she popped round before we went away so we could show her the ropes. Olivia arrived in very good time and stayed until we got back. The house was clean and tidy, the dog was well cared for and happy and Olivia really seemed to enjoy being here which we liked. We hope that she can help us again.

James

Nedda was the perfect house sitter. She was a good communicator, left the house in a great state and kept the cats happy.

She even helped me out by visiting the cats before the official sit due to a last minute trip I had. Nedda would be welcome back any time!

Christina

Thank you dear Mattia! I had great vacations while you were taking care of my doggo babies! It‘s hard to leave the boys at home when traveling and it‘s hard to relax if you’re leaving them to a stranger first time. Anyways Mattia was always responsive and reassured me that the dogs are in good hands. I got regular updates and photos/videos of them. 

Also my apartment was super clean and tidy upon my return plus my plants look happy and healthy! 

Mattia did a great job, thank you 🙏 😊
