Pet Sitters in Great Totham

Micheline

It was a pleasure to have Micheline and Bob in charge of our dogs, goats the chickens and the house. We returned from holiday to very contented pets and a lovely tidy house. Their communication was just right and they were very helpful and accommodating to our timings. We felt very comfortable being away, knowing 2 safe pairs of hands were back at home, looking after things. They are wonderful house sitters and we would be very happy to have them back again.

Cheryl

Cheryl and Tony and their two young girls were everything you could want in Catsitters. Proactive, organised, great communicators and the left the place spotless. It was lovely to see them teaching their girls how to interact with the cats too. I’ve no doubt the kitties had a dreamy time and were showered with love and affection. Would highly recommend.

Geraint

We are glad that we chose Geriant to sit our cats. He was attentive to them, used to send us wonderful pictures of our cats every day and updating on them daily - smooth and efficient communication. Geriant left the house clean and even planted some mint in our patio. Great surprise! We also met him in person a day before and our son loved Geriant. He bonded quickly also with our cats, gaining their trust on the first day. I would definitely invite him to pet sit again.

Shelley & Ian

We are so thankful to Shelley and Ian for looking after our dog, Boo, for a long weekend. As soon as we welcomed them into our home, Boo was all over them and I knew that we were leaving her in great hands. The daily updates showed us just how happy Boo was in their company. We would highly recommend Shelley and Ian to anyone looking for caring sitters and we'd welcome then back any time.

Amanda

Amanda is a truly fun and kind person with incredible energy. This is the second time she has come to our home to take care of my cats, Dallas and Chico. She is very attentive to details, ensuring that everything is perfect for both the cats and the house. She keeps me informed with regular and delightful updates about Dallas and Chico, sharing charming anecdotes about their activities and her own adventures in Amsterdam, which I really enjoyed hearing about! Her affection for the cats is clear, as she spends quality time playing with them and cuddling them, which has made them very happy in my absence. Amanda's care and attention have left me feeling incredibly grateful that our paths crossed. When I returned home, everything was organized, and Dallas and Chico were happy. I immensely recommend Amanda to anyone who is lucky enough to receive her application!

Marina

Comms pre stay were great. Pics and feedback were so helpful. The house was left immaculate and couldn’t of asked for more Many thanks for the help!! Hope you can come back again.

Rosalyn

When we arrived home from our short break and found our cat stretched out cuddled up with Rosalyn we knew we had made the perfect choice! If you are looking for a cat lover, with a fun and bubbly personality look no further. We had the pleasure of meeting Rosalyn when she came to stay the day before our trip which gave us a chance to get to know her, introduce her to Neo, and show her around the house and local area. Rosalyn is warm, friendly, clearly loves cats, and treats your home with respect. Rosalyn gave us regular updates throughout our trip to give us peace of mind everything was OK back home. We came home to a beautiful tidy house, and one happy cat - he didn't even get up to see us when we arrived home as he was enjoying his cuddles with Rosalyn so much!! We would recommend her to anyone who is looking for the perfect sitter, and would invite her back without hesitation. Thank you Rosalyn!

Genevieve

Just when we think it can’t get any better…..this family is awesome! Their care of our donkeys and the cleaning of the “ donkey palace” was outstanding! They are wonderful people, raising outstanding children. We would adopt them all if we could. They have an exquisite sense of fun, duty, humanity, compassion, and adventure. Above and beyond flexible and committed. The house and laundry was all clean. Sigh…we’re missing them!

Fiona

Fiona and Callum came for 6 nights and looked after our 2 dogs, our cat and the chickens. Fiona kept us updated while we were away and I didn't worry about anything while we were gone. On our return all the animals seemed very happy and content, I don't think they'd missed us at all! The dogs looked very dapper as Fiona and Callum had given them a brush and the house was cleaner than when we left it. I would love to have them sit again in the future and would recommend them as 5 star sitters!

Caroline & Phil

Cat and her family were wonderful house sitters! There was great communication before and during the sit and I felt very happy leaving the pets in their care. Cat, Emily and Imogen were friendly and calm and the dogs instantly felt comfortable around them. We would happily invite them back to sit in the future 😊

Hayley

Hayley and her daughter stayed at our home for a week to look after our 2 dogs and a cat. We met them before we left and they were both lovely. We arrived home to find the house immaculate with all bedding laundered and back on the beds and happy animals. I could not recommend Hayley highly enough. 😊

Jaymi-Leigh

Thank you both. You were amazing with our dogs. They’ve loved it and had some lovely scenic walks. Would highly recommend you to anyone.

Teresa

Francesca is wonderful. Riley was very happy when I got home which means he didn't miss me that much. Francesca is organized, thoughtful and very communicative.

Carolyn

If I could give more than 5 stars for this amazing sit I would surely give a 10!! This is among my top few best sits.  
Carolyn and LeRoy were very welcoming and nice.  I was very comfortable right from the start.  The information to care for the sweet pups; Scout and Skittles were detailed and very easy to understand.  
Scout and Skittles are sweet little boys and absolutely very well behaved.  
Carolyn and LeRoy’s home is beautiful and very well kept.  I have never felt safer as the community is gated.  
The guest bedroom is very comfortable and has an en-suite bathroom.  Again, I was very comfortable.  
Outside is a lovely screened in patio, which overlook a nice lake.  
I would gladly return to care for Scout and Skittles if our schedules align.  
Note to future sitters: Do not hesitate to apply for this sit!  You will be in for a treat!
Thank you Carolyn and LeRoy for selection me.

Kate

This was a great sit! 

Kate was super easy to communicate with both before and during the sit. 

Lola couldn’t be sweeter. She took her meds with no trouble. And the house was very comfortable.

Highly recommend!

Alex

This stay was very special. Tilly is absolutely precious and is quite happy doing her own thing, but loves a pat. 
We felt extremely grateful to stay in Alex's house given the location, and he sent through super clear and helpful instructions.

Auriel

We thought we'd probably love this sit based on all the amazing reviews Auriel has and we weren't disappointed! Auriel and Sebastian were really welcoming and friendly, taking the time to show us round their place and making sure we felt at home. What a gorgeous place it is too! Right by Hampstead Heath and so nicely set up - it was a lovely place. Whilst away they were quick to reply to us and left us cupboard space which isn't expected but was really appreciated!

Bruno and Thyme were really sweet pups too! We found them flexible to our routines as long as they were let into the garden for a pee in the morning they were happy to wait until we were ready for our daily walk round the Heath. They do love their evening snuggle on the sofa which we were more than happy with!

Overall a true 5* sit - we'd love to come back!

Lisa

It was a privilege to look after Lisa and Dave's house and especially Oscar who was a very loving and friendly cat.  Lisa kept me we informed all the time and communicated well.  We had a wonderful time in Emneth with Oscar.

Caitlin

I had a really nice time with the animals and the communication was good too! Caitlin even took me to the airport in the end.
