Dog Sitters in Kempsey

Vicki and her daughter Nancy were excellent. They cared for our two dogs beautifully, looked after the house and left the place spotless. Our greedy labradors pinched some of her food the first day but she laughed about it rather than make a fuss. I had quite a few plants to water but they didn’t complain! We went away feeling reassured that we had a safe pair of hands in charge. Vicki sent photos to let us know all was well but sorted out any other issues herself without troubling us. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Malcolm and Jinny looked after our two young and demanding Siamese cats and our home superbly. We had to arrange a remote handover and introduction to the cats via a long-standing friend of ours and Jinny and Malcolm accommodated this arrangement; we regret that we couldn't meet them ourselves. We returned home from our holiday to an immaculate house, a vase of flowers, a card and some very happy cats! So pleased that Malcolm and Jinny were able to explore the local area whilst they were here too. Thank you so much.

Philip was great with our cat and seemed a very pleasant, communicative and reliable sitter, who looked after our pet for 7 weeks. He was good at communicating and sent us regular updates. However, when we returned we discovered that he had used all our canned food, olive oils, kitchen roll, rice, loo rolls, fish and other foodstuffs we have yet to discover! When challenged he replied that I had said he could help himself, but conveniently forgot that I had added that he should replace anything he used, as we did not want to return to find there was nothing left. A 7 week sit is very different from a short one, where the use of a few food items would be more acceptable. He has not offered to compensate us or replace any of the items used, fully or partially, which we feel is thoughtless and selfish. We are really disappointed. In retrospect I should have sent text or other written messages to Phil to make the replacement of goods used abundantly clear.

We were so happy with Phillipa! She kept us up to date with how the cats were at all times and we came back to a very clean house and some lovely flowers + a welcome home card. So kind 👍 We highly recommend her!

From the first minute our communicaton was easy and clear. I am so thankful to have had Rowan as our sitter!!! He was very attentive and helpful! Since 4 years I am a chickenholder and we never had mites. Rowan reacted immediately when he realized, that mites were in the chickenhouse and did everything was necessary to avoid sickness. He cleaned the chickenhouse completly, treated the chicken with anti mite drops and cared about our tomatoplants. He watered the plants and left the house very clean and tidy! An exzellent housesitter! We can recommend him highly! Thank you Rowan for caring the house, the garden and our beloved animals. You are allways welcome!

Ellen Chris and family were absolutely amazing and quickly became friends. Their care of my dog and cat and home was outstanding. I have no words that adequately describe my appreciation for them

Jane was brilliant, she left the house immaculate and even stripped the bed. Communication with Jane was easy and she was quick to respond. When I was away I got regular updates on the cats. We had a really cold snap of weather whilst I was away and Jane managed the outdoor cat really well even with the cold! Both cats were happy and healthy when we got back- what more could you ask for? Would definitely recommend and we are hoping to have her to house sit again!

Anna & Ben did a great job looking after Bonnie our elderly cat and Skye our energetic cocker spaniel. We had no worries at all while we were away and received updates and photos which was lovely. Joined too by their girls, they enjoyed our garden, the neighbouring cows and the local fields on walks with Skye. Thank you too for all the fuss made with Bonnie - time for cuddles are always important 🐈🥰

Well what can I say....... This is the fourth time Jackie & Brian have been to look after Cookie & Cracker - need I say more?? Jackie & Brian saved the day for us because we had booked a two week holiday but had only managed to get a sitter for the first week. Lucky for us they got back from their mega cruise a few days after we left, so they agreed to come & take over from the first sitter. Not only that but they had already made arrangements for Hogmanay so I had arranged for a friend in the village to look after the boys for that one night at her house. Unfortunately she forgot all about it & Jackie & Brian cancelled their plans so that the boys were not left on their own. How dedicated was that - we were gobsmacked & so very very grateful!! Cookie & Cracker must have been absolutely beside themselves when Jackie & Brian arrived - so very very excited to see them again. As always we received lots of photos while we were away. I think it was pretty hard going because the weather was atrocious while we were away but Jackie & Brian just take it in their stride & bath the boys in the outdoor sink after their very muddy walks. We were so pleased to see them again when we got back as we consider them as friends now & are looking forward to seeing them next week for lunch! Thank you again from us all xx🐾🐾

Josh and Lottie came to help us out with our dog, Figgy, and cat, Ruffy with very little notice. The whole family are delightful and we would thoroughly recommend them to anyone. The animals were extremely happy - so much so that Figgy pined after they had gone - and the house looked immaculate. They had even washed and dried their sheets - something no other sitter has ever done. Anyone having them sit in their house will be equally delighted.

Thank you once again Felicity & Matt, its always lovely to have you sit for us, the cats adore you both and appreciate all the attention they get ... they told me :) . Look forward to having you back again soon. Xx

Richard and Christine were fantastic house-sitters. We met them at our house first and found them interesting and highly competent. They bonded immediately with our cat and sent us regular photo updates during the sit. On our return, our house was tidy and spotless, the cat was happy, the lawn had been mowed, the bed linen had been washed, there was milk in the fridge, used soap and washing-up liquid had been replaced, flowers in the kitchen and a long note about their stay. We cannot recommend them highly enough and hope to invite them to stay again.
