This was my first time having a house-sitter look after my cat and I would definitely do it again. Overall Shelagh was great - not only did she look after my cat (who was unwell just prior to my going away) but she looked after my garden keeping it well watered through hot summer days and interacted with tradespeople at the house during the house-sit. None of this fazed Shelagh - she was totally relaxed and dealt with everything. She kept me well informed about how things were going and I felt totally comfortable having her in my home and was able to relax on holidays knowing that Henry was being looked after so well. If the opportunity arose again, I would definitely ask Shelagh to house-sit again. Thanks Shelagh for taking such good care of Henry.
Dakota was great with our geriatric dogs who need medications and lots of attention. The house was clean and tidy. We would have him sit again anytime!
