We are so lucky to have had Michelle as our cat-sitter. Our older cat, Gluino, got unexpectedly ill during her stay. Michelle recognised the signs and immediately called the vet to check on what should be done. Then, she rushed him to the clinic. His condition was very serious. Once stabilised, she took him home and monitored him the entire weekend. Gluino had high fever, his breathing was abnormally fast and refused to eat. Michelle went out of her way to find foods that might entice him to not starve himself. She bought chicken, tuna, tried treats and his favourite wet-food. She made sure to administer medicine, measure his breathing, stay in touch with the vet and make an appointment for Monday at another clinic (where it was planned for him to undergo more detailed tests). All this while keeping us updated about his wellbeing and taking care of our younger cat Nacho. She had to juggle the needs of a seriously ill cat and a young, active cat and was extremely resourceful in doing this. We were abroad and could only fly back on Sunday. Although in shock and extremely anxious, we had the peace of mind that Gluino is in great hands. Michelle stayed at Gluino's side up until the moment we arrived as she didn't want to leave him unsupervised. Besides being very skilled at taking care of cats, Michelle is a reliable, loving, caring and sweet person. We didn't have the pleasure to meet her partner Fran, but there is no doubt for us that he is no less of a wonderful human being. He helped her a lot in caring for Gluino during this very difficult time (Fran is allergic to cats and stayed at a rental place in Amsterdam. Still, he came over to the house to help Michelle care for our two cats). After returning home, Michelle would keep in touch to inquire about Gluino. She regularly asked for updates and sent words of encouragement. This meant a lot to us! Thank you for everything, Michelle!

Drew was a fabulous guest. I always come back from my time away wondering if Dex actually got a real walk in with the sitter and I never wonder with Drew. He sent me a Strava with GPS on every walk he did. Dex and Misha looked health and happy when I returned. He also updated me daily. Would happily have Drew stay again.

If I could leave 10 stars I would. Heikki is amazing!! We encountered a situation where our pup became ill and Heikki ended up having to take our pup to the pet emergency TWICE. She kept us very well informed, was not at all stressed or bothered by the inconvenience and her biggest concern was making sure our pup was safe and comfortable. She made batches of chicken and rice for puppers and did everything she could to help. We ended up coming home early as our pup still wasn't feeling great, and Heikki just went with the flow, not at all bothered, only wanting what was best for our dog. 

I would recommend Heikki to anyone. She is trustworthy, responsible, has excellent communication and goes above and beyond. 

Thank you for everything, Heikki!

I had an absolutely delightful experience pet-sitting for Oaty. This little pup is not only adorable but also has the sweetest temperament—perfect for plenty of cuddles and playtime!
Issy and Jack were incredibly welcoming, making me feel right at home in their beautiful and comfortable house. The communication with Issy was excellent, ensuring everything went smoothly and according to plan.
The location in Altrincham is ideal, with so much to offer. 
Sitting for Oaty was an absolute pleasure, and I’m eagerly looking forward to the opportunity to come back again.
