Jonna is such a wonderful pet and house sitter. She’s stayed a few times now and my cuddly Burmese cats absolutely love her. Everything is easy, and she goes above expectation on leaving the house ready for return. Highly recommend!
We have been very impressed with Mark. He has certainly exceeded our expectations. We were looking for a quiet, gentle person to look after our cat, Lucya, who is sensitive, and not used to other people. It turned out that we could not have asked for a more suitable person than Mark. From the start, communication with Mark was very easy and straightforward. During an initial video call meeting, we felt a special warmth and kindness coming from him. We arranged for Mark to arrive the day before we left for a holiday, and he arrived at the agreed time. We had a lovely conversation and dinner together, while showing Mark things around the house. He was well prepared and asked follow up questions from the information we had previously supplied. When we were away, Mark sent us regular text and video updates about Lucya and the house. The most amazing thing was that Mark trained Lucya to use the new cat door. We had a door installed in our house but we were struggling to teach Lucya to use it. It appears Mark used every trick in the book to get her interested in and using the door. He even bought treats for her too as part of the training. Immense patience would have been required. We were very impressed when we received a video with Lucya actually using her door. Training was certainly more than we could expect from a pet sitter. Apart from the amazing job Mark has done regarding our cat, he has left the house in a very clean and tidy condition - the best we've seen it for a long time! He even did some DIY jobs around the house. Finally, just before he left (a few hours before our arrival as arranged), Mark cooked dinner for us, and even bought us a few things for our breakfast next morning. In summary, we had an amazing experience with Mark and he far exceeded our expectations. A sixth star was needed for him. Naturally, we highly recommend Mark as a pet and house sitter.
