Cat Sitters in Derbyshire

Louise Angela

Louise and her daughter looked after our cat and house for a weekend and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them! They were very friendly, and clearly won over our notoriously suspicious cat easily! They were very organised, great at communicating and the house was immaculate when we came home. Thank you!

Shauna

Shauna and Mark and their children were really lovely. Very organised and were fantastic with our animals. They sent me updates to let me know how the dogs were getting on while I was away, which was very reassuring. I would recommend them as housesitters.

Stephanie

Stephanie was brilliant all round, great to meet with and great with our English Setter Freddie. She gained his confidence almost immediately and he clearly had some wonderful walks with her. She happily shared her bedroom with him too. Stephanie left the house so tidy and even stripped her bed and washed the bed linen! We have already asked Stephanie to sit for Freddie again. Thanks Stephanie

Deborah & Luke

Deborah and Luke were fantastic sitters - incredibly communicative, easy to talk to, and most importantly, genuinely seemed to care for Freyja :o) She's a shy kitty, but they really went that extra mile to get her to come out of our shell. Our house was spotless when we came home. We'd love to have them come sit again anytime!

Dawid & Aggie

We could not have had a better start to our zeewoi experience. Dawid and Aggie looked after our pets, house and garden beautifully and sent a video of the dogs playing together. The house was left clean and tidy and our neighbours said it was a pleasure to meet them. They will be welcomed back anytime.

Helen

Helen came to visit us for 2.5 weeks over Christmas, and was a lovely house sitter! I swear our cat, Beryl, barely noticed we were leaving; she was comfortable with Helen very quickly after arrival. Helen has a calming atmosphere which was perfect. Helen also respected that Beryl is not the most friendly, and gave the space needed for Beryl to warm up to her. I got photos as often as I asked for them, and updates about how Beryl would get comfortable enough to give head bumps and purr when scratch (an achievement!). There was a small medical issue, and Helen let me know right away, working with me to make sure I had all the details to make the best decision for Beryl. As a house sitter, she was very tidy! She had stripped the bedding and washed it before our return, the place was mopped, and the kitchen was as we had left it. Helen would be welcome back at any time to visit Beryl. :)

Matthew & Kate

Kate and Mathew are perfect sitters and a pleasure to exchange with. I completely trusted them and was confident they would take great care of Dexter and our home. I thoroughly recommend them and hope they will come back and sit for us again. Thank you for being great sitters

Rebecca

Rebecca and James have now cat sat for us twice and we (and our cat) love having them. They're reliable, kind and we know our cat is being well cared for. Would highly recommend!

Hannah

Hannah is super reliable, friendly, and caring! Our communication was always great, she arrived promptly and kept me updated, sent regular updates to give me peace of mind, and asked all the right questions to make sure that she could do a great sitting, which she did! The fact that she's a vet was so reassuring, obviously!! But her personality and the fact that she was super respectfulwith the place and left the house spotless were just the cherry at the top! I'd have Hanna over again every time if I could!

Amanda

Amanda was a perfect sitter. House and pets better than we left them. Would welcome Amanda back anytime and recommend to others. Cheers Ed and Bex

Karina

Karina came to look after my 3 year old Collie cross and she was fantastic. Collies can be difficult to handle so I was apprehensive about leaving him but my mind was quickly put at ease as Karina showed she was more than capable of handling him in the first couple of days. She gave daily updates and was really kind, considerate and polite

Claire & Greg

Claire and Greg, what a super couple!!! We had a lovely, pre break evening in their fabulous company, and left feeling confident that our pups were in the safest of hands. The 3Ds were immediately at peace with them, and enjoying play time tuggies from the get-go. Both Claire and Greg were great fun, but calm and sensitive to our Dodger who gets a little confused sometimes with his dementia, and is also scared of the stairs. He was helped down them, with care and sensitivity, and regularly checked on to make sure he felt safe and loved. This sit was only a short one, but we very much look forward to welcoming Claire and Greg back for longer sits, and thoroughly recommend them. Great sitters and lovely, lovely people!

Donna

Malcolm and Jinny are the most perfect pet and house sitters.  Great communication, arrived early on the day I was leaving and took great care of my two cats whilst I was away for the week.  They kept me updated as to how the cats were doing which gave me great peace of mind.  The house was as clean as I had left it and all the bed linen had been washed which I did not expect but very appreciate of.  
Thank you both, see you again in May.

Diana

Philippa and Roberto lived up to all their reviews. The handover was easy, even though its a large house and there is lots to explain! 
Philippa very kindly took me to the airport so we didn’t have to have 2 cars there which saved us a small fortune.
They were very good with our dogs and Amba and Zulu took to them straight away. 

Whilst we were away, Roberto was quick to spot that Amba had a fever and swiftly took her to our vet where she was diagnosed a severe infection. If they hadn’t moved so fast the results could have been so much worse. His veterinary experience was such a bonus and it enabled us to feel confident in the knowledge that all our animals were being well looked after whilst we were on the other side of the world. We knew that Amba especially, was in good hands. Philippa always kept us up to date with daily photos, videos and of course importantly how Amba was progressing on her antibiotics.

Roberto obviously enjoyed the Garden as he did much more than just keep things tidy, he even went as far as digging out the nettle roots in the vegetable garden. Which was definitely above and beyond the call of duty.  
On our return we found all the dog blankets washed and changed, (which is no small feat) house clean and tidy, dogs and chickens happy and chicken coop cleaned out too.

AND I CANT BELIEVE IT BUT THEY EMPTIED THE DOG POO BIN!!!
For that they get a gold medal!

Philippa made us a lovely supper upon our return of Tart Tatin, watermelon, feta and cucumber salad with Roberto’s home made Spanish tortilla. We thoroughly enjoyed their company and they looked after our home as if it was their own. What more can you ask for! 
Muchas gracias Roberto y Philippa hasta la proxima.
