Janine & Steven arrived on time and it was obvious that their love of animals was totally unquestionable. Their communication throughout their stay was very good. Although I put new batteries in the cat-flap, tv remotes, front door bell etc etc, the one thing that I didn’t think of was the smoke alarm in the Plant Room and of course, that decided to start beeping towards the end of their stay here. We asked them to turn the alarms off at the fuse box, but Steven said it was still beeping. When I got home, I turned it off and after 5mins that solved the issue until I could buy new 9v batteries the next day. They were very sweet and left us lovely flowers, a card and chocolates which was very thoughtful of them. Because we arrived home quite late, they’d already departed as they themselves had a long journey home. On first appearances the house looked tidy. They both preferred a bath to a shower, so I’d told them they could use the bath in my bedroom. Well, I don’t think it had been cleaned at all in the whole time they were here and I found myself at 10pm scrubbing the bath and toilets until they were clean! The bed sheet also was covered in blood spots and hair and I immediately felt I had to wash the bedding, mattress protector/pillow protectors even though by then it was approaching 10.30pm and we had our holiday washing to do as well. A real shame as otherwise we would have had no complaints and I hate putting anything negative but you have to be honest otherwise it makes leaving a review pointless.

Catherine was really outstanding in her level of care to both my pets and my home. We chatted on the phone in detail and Catherine then visited the house twice before I left on holiday. I was so very grateful that she spent the time getting to know the animal's routine and paying great attention to their requirements. On all occasions, including the day I was leaving for the airport, Catherine was very punctual. I also had the pleasure of meeting Catherine's daughter Hannah and the animals immediately took to her too. It was lovely to get pictures sent to me seeing them all relaxed and enjoying each other's company. With Dolly still being quite young, Catherine and Hannah were extremely mindful of this during her walks and showed responsibility by not letting her off the lead in uncertain areas. Dolly enjoyed her walks massively. I returned home from a transatlantic flight at silly o'clock in the morning on New Year's Day but Catherine had the house absolutely spotless for my return and was all packed up and ready to go. Both cats and Dolly were settled, happy and content after their week with Catherine and Hannah - it was a joy to see. I truly felt at ease leaving them in Catherine's care and it allowed me to enjoy my holiday. You can instantly tell that Catherine and Hannah not only love animals but really respect people's home and know that this site is equally to look after pets but also to treat people's homes like your own and that's exactly what Catherine and Hannah did. I can 100% recommend them to look after your pets and your house - they will be in very capable, reliable and respectful hands.

Jerrold
Jerry was welcoming to us.  He had directions for Sadie and Rudy as well as information about  the house/neighbors.  We enjoyed walking and playing with the dogs.  Their home is lovely and located two blocks from Lake Michigan.  Sadie and Rudy are sweet dogs and fun to walk with around the beautifully forested community.

Shelby
Banksy, the most famous cat in the west village, is very sweet and cuddly. He is a loud purrer! Shelby is very communicative and is used to having sitters, so she has a guide for not only Banksy and the apartment, but also for the neighborhood. Any sitter would be lucky to stay with Banksy.

Sandra, Oreo, and Roxy were absolutely wonderful! I already miss Roxy and Oreo soooo much! They were so easy to sit and appreciated me so much! Very loving dogs. Sandra is the most generous, hospitable, kind person you could ever meet, and she made me feel so comfortable! I know she will be a friend forever! It is nice, too, that she is very laid back and easy to sit for. Her house is beautiful with a beautiful yard for the pups to take in the sun! It is a great area close to the lake and great entertainment! Thank you, Sandra!
