Cat Sitters in Childrey

This was Anthony and Nicola’s first pet sit, and it was exceptional! Not only did they look after my two cats, fed the fish, fed the tadpoles, watered the plants, communicated with daily WhatsApps to keep my informed and reassured, but Anthony, of his own volition, fixed a rotting garden bench, giving it another decade of use, and changed some light bulbs for greener, more energy efficient ones. My only regret - that I couldn’t have spent more time with them both because they were such good company too.

Leigh and Dan were super reliable! Great communication from start to finish, keeping us updated while we were away, so that we didn’t have to worry and could just enjoy our holidays knowing all is in good hands. They took such a great care of Bailey and the house. In fact I think they left the house cleaner than we did! So nice coming back to a lovely clean house and freshly changed bedsheets! Bailey enjoyed some nice long walks when we were away and we came back welcomed by a happy and a very relaxed dog! You could see he had a great time with them.

Hannah is absolutely wonderful, as is her daughter, Joanna . The moment we met, we knew Maya and Lando would be in excellent hands. We covered everything before we departed, and felt totally relaxed about leaving the dogs and house. We had regular updates and photos throughout our trip away, the house was immaculate on our return, the bed linen was in the machine, and we were the lucky recipients of a delightful card thanking us for their stay! I can't recommend Hannah highly enough.

Heather was a delight and such a gentle person. Great communicator before, during and after the Housesit. Minnie took to her straight away and we were very happy to leave him in her care. She is knowledgable about cats. She rates 5 stars on being organised, reliable, self-sufficient, tidy and Pet care. Also, she kindly left a lovely risotto in the fridge for our late arrival back. Would welcome Heather back again to Housesit. Would recommend Heather to anyone looking for a Housesitter.

Hector was brilliantly cared for while we were away, and the house was left in a wonderful condition upon our return. Would use again, and recommend!

Dagmar came to mind Ben on her own for a week. Although I never met her, our paths crossed in the air, I do feel I got to know her through video chats and texting. And my neighbours thought she was lovely! Couldn't be happier, Dagmar is conscientious, reliable, and your dream dog sitter! Many thanks and I'm glad you enjoyed staying in my little home! Dermod

Karen and Phil were great, they looked after Ella, our cat, brilliantly, including giving her her daily tablet. They left the house clean and tidy and were very accommodating when we had to change our dates at fairly short notice. They came the day before and we got to know them over an evening meal. We were very comfortable leaving them to look after Ella and our house. We would certainly invite them again.

Natalie and Heather were fantastic sitters for our house but more importantly, the love and care they showed our black Labrador was more than we could have asked for and put our minds at rest, as well as reassuring us that House Sitters was definitely the way forward. They kept in contact with us while we were on holiday, sending us pictures of our dog and emerging spring garden. We cannot thank them enough for their care. We returned to a spotless house and happy dog! Thank you to you both and we hope that in the future you will come back and visit Nala!

Steph and her partner Jonny sat with our two elderly rescue cats for seven weeks and were absolute superstars. Steph was communicative beforehand, agreeing to a zoom call so we could explain responsibilities and nuances about the cats. We also really appreciated her flexibility on dates as we finalised our plans. Because of the length of the stay, there were a lot of additional tasks (e.g. cleaning water fountains, fully cleaning litter trays) which she took in her stride. There was also an unexpected task of replacing the cat flap when a neighbour cat broke in, which Steph and Jonny handled self sufficiently and with admirable calm. We are so grateful to them for their support and hope to have them back in future!!

Steven, Judith and their daughters Rose and Esther were wonderful house sitters. We communicated well from the very beginning and had daily updates during our time away. On our return, the house was beautifully clean and tidy. Judith had baked a delicious apple pie to welcome us home. The girls took on responsibilities for the chickens and ducks as well as the honesty box at the top of the drive. Steven did a great job in the garden. He picked all of our apples that would otherwise have fallen in the windy conditions and rescued our crop of carrots from marauding rabbits. The lawns were also nicely mowed. This had been a rather challenging house sit for various reasons. Firstly, our beloved Rosie had sadly died just a few weeks before they came. Una was therefore on her own so she enjoyed walks and lots of loving attention. Secondly, one of horses, Cubley, developed a sore hind foot just a few days before the house sit which necessitated both Blue and Cubley being on stable rest throughout the house sit. Even though this was an unexpected level of responsibility, they took on the challenge willingly and coped well in the circumstances. Finally, we had been having some unresolved issues with the heating system. Steven showed initiative and contacted the heating engineers independently. Given these unexpected issues, Steven, Judith and their girls were wonderful and took everything on board as far as they could. We are sorry that they had more responsibilities than originally agreed and hope that this did not detract from their experience. We would certainly welcome them back to our home at a time when hopefully circumstances are back to normal.

Absolutely amazing! Arrange to meet us before, was on time tidy and looked after our pets with such love and care! Huge recommendation!!!

Superb house and cat sitter. We had no qualms at all in leaving Tim in charge. Toby loved him and everything in the house was as we left it.
