Cat Sitters in Great Gransden

Amy

Amy was a great communicator and I’m sure would have been a great sitter, had the sit gone ahead. Due to a sudden and unforeseen illness Amy and River were unable to attend the sit. Amy kindly offered to arrange have an acquaintance come and sit on her behalf but fortunately I managed to get someone to come and sit last minute. I am certain that River and Amy would have taken great care of the cats should they have been able to attend and I would be willing to have them sit for me in the future.

Richard & Nika

Richard and Nika's professionalism was evident from the start. Richard arrived at our home well in advance of our departure, allowing us ample time to go through all the house-sitting details. This punctuality and preparedness immediately put us at ease, setting the tone for a smooth house-sitting experience. Richard's calm and collected demeanour further reassured us, and it was clear that he had a natural affinity for animals. The dogs quickly warmed up to him, and by the time we left, they were already comfortably lounging with him on the sofa. Throughout our time away, Richard and Nika kept us updated on the dogs' wellbeing via a WhatsApp group, providing us with peace of mind and reassurance that everything was going smoothly. Upon our return, we were greeted by Nika, who had maintained the house impeccably. Our bedding had been changed, and the towels were freshly laundered, reflecting their meticulous care. The dogs, visibly relaxed and content, clearly enjoyed their time with Nika, which reassured us of their ability to provide a loving environment for our pets. We had a wonderful experience with Richard and Nika as our house-sitters. They took excellent care of our home and pets, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. Their responsible and attentive nature was truly appreciated, and we wouldn't hesitate to have them house-sit for us again in the future. We wholeheartedly recommend Richard and Nika to anyone in need of reliable and trustworthy house-sitters.

Emmy & Sam

Our animals loved their sit with Emmy. It made for a lovely and relaxing weekend away.

Lilly

Lilly & Jordan have been amazing sitters! Great communication beforehand and I did get to meet them as well. They send videos while I was away and to see my cats who can be timid purring away was so lovely to see. The house was spotless when I came home! Can not recommend them enough! Thank you so much xxx

Jemima

Jemima & Freddie house sat for over 3 weeks looking after my 2 large dogs, house, houseplants and garden while i was away. My dogs are strong and bouncy and need a big walk everyday while my house and garden being deserted for nearly a month also needed regular tlc. Jemima & Freddie did a great job, mature, sensible, responsible clean and tidy, the hounds and the house were in great shape when i came home, i'm only sorry they didn't get better weather! Recommend, your pets and home are in safe hands with these two!

Natalie

Natalie looked after our 2 dogs for 3 weeks while we were away. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She kept in touch with us throughout our trip, sending us lots of photos and even providing our builders with refreshments. The house was immaculate when we arrived home. We would definitely have Natalie back again to stay. Thank you Natalie.

Grace & Jared

Grace and Jared were ideal pet sitters. Our dogs had a lovely time with them and were extremely well looked after. Had lots of communication and doggy updates. Would recommend

Vivian

We cannot recommend Vivian and her daughter highly enough. The attention they gave to Marlowe was just wonderful. We felt completely comfortable and at ease knowing our home and little dog were in the best hands!

Angie

Angie and Miguel looked after our parrots and tortoise for 10 days in August/September. We invited them around to meet us and the animals a few days before the sit so we could talk them through pet care and show them around the house. They immediately seemed like lovely people and asked all the right questions about each of our animals which immediately gave us confidence that they would be great with our pets.

Phoebe

Phoebe and her friend stayed at our place and took great care of our cat Ella. Their communication was great - we had a phone call before they came, and we had regular updates and photos whilst we were away. The house was immaculate when we got back and my basil plant was still alive, so I think they must have been looking after that too! Lovely to arrive back to a box of chocolates too, so very kind. We'd be very happy to host Phoebe and her friend again.

Louis & Rajko

Could not fault Louis and Rajko. The perfect housesitters. They were prompt, kept us informed of their arrival time, of the welfare of the dogs whilst we were away and left the house immaculate. Could not have asked for better guests. Thanks guys!

Caroline

Caroline and Steve were fantastic. We have 3-dogs and they took such good care of them. Our ridgebacks have special requirements - one is very nervous and the other is totally the opposite! Caroline and Steve were not fazed in the slightest - they bonded so well with the dogs and I would highly recommend them to take very good care of your pets. Our house was really well looked after. Caroline and Steve were very organised and tidy, our house was spotless when we got back, and they had washed the bedding. If you need someone to take care of your pets and house to a really high standard then these guys will not disappoint

Leslie

Laura and Daniel were a hit with Lola before they even got in the door! They are exemplary sitters with a fun, kind and easy manner. They were very attentive to Lola’s needs by adjusting their adventures but still keeping it fun for her and themselves. The house was spotless when we returned and the garden was as we left it. We very much appreciated their attention to detail. 

They also welcomed us home with some wonderful treats for us and Lola. 😊

They are very welcome back and we hope to see them again on their travels. 

Many thanks, Laura and Daniel! Lola misses you.

Greyson

Morgana really came in at a difficult time for my pup. I had to say goodbye to my second dog a week earlier. Leela, my remaining dog, had never been by herself for more than a few hours, so I was worried about how she would do, but Morgana took great care of her and Leela really took to her. Really couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Leela.
