Cat Sitters in Child Okeford

Rosalind & Michael

We cannot speak highly enough of Ros and Mike. They arrived on time and had clear questions and expectations of what would be required. Our house was spotless when we returned home and they had been extremely thoughtful in leaving some groceries for us as well as a beautiful bouquet. Our pets were very happy and it was clear they’d been very well cared for. We had regular updates and pictures whilst we were away, which was lovely. We would highly recommend Ros and Mike as reliable, trustworthy and caring housesitters.

Adrian & Ruby

Adrian and Ruby were delightful, they arrived before the sit for a 40 minute briefing and asked all the right questions. They communicated well and dealt with any problems that arose. We returned to a happy cat and a very clean house

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!

Wendy

Wendy is a great house sitter! She took great care of our pets and home, even when it wasn’t easy with my very elderly dog! Highly recommend

Dennieze

Dennieze was very organised and kept us updated with arrivals etc since the beginning. We got lots of videos of Pepsi throughout the sit, which was great! Pepsi looked happy with her care. She left the house very tidy and clean. Would recommend Dennieze :)

Hannah

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

Blythe

Blythe and her sister took care of Leo. I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience and the care. They took exceptional care of Leo, ensuring he was well-fed, entertained, and given plenty of affection. Additionally, they maintained the cleanliness and order of my home. Leo, who is typically affectionate around new people, quickly warmed up to them. I highly recommend Blythe.

Nick & Kayla

It was a great pleasure to have Nick and Kayla take care of our house, dogs and chicken. Everything was perfect - our dogs were sad to see Nick and Kayla leave. The house was spotless. We highly recommend Nick and Kayla - they are always welcome at our place

Henry & Zoe

Henry and Zoe were absolutely wonderful sitting for us. We were nervous leaving the dogs for the first time, especially as Nell was anxious and relatively new to us. However, we needn’t have worried. Henry & Zoe we’re not phased at all and settled in really well. They kept us updated and sent photos and videos showing two very happy dogs 😊 They clearly, genuinely love dogs and have a lovely way with them. We returned home to a tidy & clean house and two calm and settled dogs. We would not hesitate to ask them to sit again. 🐾

Alexandra

Alexandra and her sister were delightful. The animals were well cared for and the house left clean.

Csaba & Anna

Csaba and Panni are wonderful . They arrived and were so friendly and easy to chat to . We talked through the dogs needs and showed them around the house . They were very happy to be there and to meet the dogs . They looked after the dogs and house for three weeks and it’s been brilliant . They set up a whats app group where we had photos and videos regularly . It was really re assuring seeing my girls out and about and having fun or at home being cuddled . We really hope they will look after the girls again as I could see how happy everyone was and I don’t just mean the dogs 🥰 Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts . I just worry that people will realise how fabulous you are and we won’t manage to book you again! I could tell from the first zoom call how lovely you both are and my lovely girls obviously adored you . Thank you isn’t enough . Forever grateful to you both . Best wishes Ruth & Duncan plus the three L’s ❤️

Candy

Candy is just perfect. Super pupdates and my anxious rescue dog took to her immediately. A short stay but myself and the furries looking forward to seeing Candy again

Gavin

Kim and Dean were absolutely brilliant. When we arrived home the dogs seemed happy and well looked after and the house was very clean and tidy.

Having such experienced pet sitters was incredibly beneficial as one of our dogs unfortunately needed to go to the vets during our holiday but Kim and Dean really came into their own, managing to overcome resistance from the vets to get an evening appointment to get him seen to and subsequently managed the medication prescribed and leaving us detailed notes and instructions for our return. I genuinely would have been worried had we had someone less experienced but Kim and Dean were amazing and communicated excellently throughout the whole time.

Would definitely have them back and sincerely recommend.

Rochelle

Julie gave my dog wonderful care, exercise and affection.  I was so happy to receive updates and photos while I was away and be reassured all was going well.  I would definitely choose her again.
