We are so lucky to have had Michelle as our cat-sitter. Our older cat, Gluino, got unexpectedly ill during her stay. Michelle recognised the signs and immediately called the vet to check on what should be done. Then, she rushed him to the clinic. His condition was very serious. Once stabilised, she took him home and monitored him the entire weekend. Gluino had high fever, his breathing was abnormally fast and refused to eat. Michelle went out of her way to find foods that might entice him to not starve himself. She bought chicken, tuna, tried treats and his favourite wet-food. She made sure to administer medicine, measure his breathing, stay in touch with the vet and make an appointment for Monday at another clinic (where it was planned for him to undergo more detailed tests). All this while keeping us updated about his wellbeing and taking care of our younger cat Nacho. She had to juggle the needs of a seriously ill cat and a young, active cat and was extremely resourceful in doing this. We were abroad and could only fly back on Sunday. Although in shock and extremely anxious, we had the peace of mind that Gluino is in great hands. Michelle stayed at Gluino's side up until the moment we arrived as she didn't want to leave him unsupervised. Besides being very skilled at taking care of cats, Michelle is a reliable, loving, caring and sweet person. We didn't have the pleasure to meet her partner Fran, but there is no doubt for us that he is no less of a wonderful human being. He helped her a lot in caring for Gluino during this very difficult time (Fran is allergic to cats and stayed at a rental place in Amsterdam. Still, he came over to the house to help Michelle care for our two cats). After returning home, Michelle would keep in touch to inquire about Gluino. She regularly asked for updates and sent words of encouragement. This meant a lot to us! Thank you for everything, Michelle!

Catherine was my first sitter so I was a little worried about the whole process but it could not have gone better. My dog, bless her, is not the easiest to look after but I felt comfortable leaving her with Catherine.
I came home to a clean and tidy house and a happy and safe hound, what more could one want.
Thanks again Catherine!

Nick and Bridie were delightful sitters who took tremendous care of both River and our home whilst we were away. As we had an early start the next morning, Nick and Bridie came over the afternoon before so we could meet them, show them our home and the area, and introduce them to River.

They were attentive and friendly from the off, and River took to them so well. It is clear that they are not only both huge dog lovers, but very good house guests as well. Throughout the stay, they kept us informed to provide peace of mind, but gave us a disconnect from everything back home, and when we came home, it was spotless with a stripped and washed bed, and with River very contented.

We highly recommend Nick and Bridie to any sitter who is looking for a couple who will treat your home like it's their own and who will take great care of your dogs - certainly no complaints from our end!
