Cat Sitters in Kensworth

Bev

Bev is a delight and we would recommend her to everyone! She helped us load our car (we were self catering so there was a lot!) and tried to make sure we didn’t forget anything. Nina, who had previously been as good as gold at Christmas, decided that a good game was climbing the tree and batting the baubles and tinsel. Poor Bev had to spend a lot of her time retrieving things and putting them out of harms way. She sent us some lovely pictures - Nina in the tree for example, so we could see exactly what our naughty little girl was up to. We came back to a clean, tidy house, an orchid to replace the poinsettia I had killed as I was leaving and all the laundry done. We hope that Bev will consider sitting for us again and have no hesitation in recommending her. Thank you Bev.

Hannah

Hannah looked after my flat and my cat Leeloo while I was away for 5 days. When we first spoke she asked me lots of great questions to make sure she had all the information she needed. She also came around to pick up the keys and familiarise herself with my flat the day before the sit was starting, which meant I didn’t had to rush around very early in the morning. I was offline for the 5 days I was away so it was a big responsibility and Hannah handled everything perfectly. She checked in with me before she left the flat and made sure I had everything I needed when I got back. And she also sent me some lovely photos of Leeloo :) It was great to come home to a very clean flat, happy plants and a very happy cat. I hope she house-sits for me again!

Eve

Eve was fantastic - she was clearly really looking forward to meet Brixton (my dog) and had even brought treats. Very easy to communicate with, flexible and left the house beautifully clean and tidy! Would definitely love for Eve to stay again.

Stephen & Lucy

What brilliant house sitters! We had a very last minute change of plan and Stephen and Lucy accommodated this with ease. They were great with Luna and the house was very tidy and clean on our return. Stephen and Lucy were also self-sufficient which helped me feel extremely confident in their ability to look after Luna and the house. I would 100% recommend them.

Michelle & Gary

Michelle, Gary and Ellen are the loveliest loveliest family you could hope to meet and I was so happy they were able to look after Pablo and Alba for a second time. I was actually rather jealous of all the fun the dogs had - every day we got updates and photos of their day - trips to the local beaches and attractions, they looked like they were haven the time of their lives! And then snuggles on the sofa in the evenings. This family are simply wonderful and clearly gave our dogs so much love. The house was immaculate when we got home which I really appreciate. It’s great coming back from holiday knowing that your house and pets have been taken care of so well. Thank you Michelle, Gary and Ellen. I can, as always, highly recommend this fantastic family. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

JIE

Jie was a fantastic sitter. So friendly and personable and took a real interest in Paddy and Tiger. She left the house in great condition and i am sure the dogs will miss her. No hesitation in recommending Jie as a sitter.

Fran

Fran & her daughter stayed for the weekend, they left the house clean and tidy & you wouldn’t know they had stayed for the weekend! The dogs enjoyed there walks. Ideal sitter 😊

Stephen & Patricia

Stephen was a good communicator leading up to the housesit. He arrived the day before we left and was able to settle in and get to know Minnie. He took everything in his stride and was easy to get along with. We arrived back to a happy Minnie and clean and tidy house. Would welcome Stephen back to housesit again.

Zohra

Denise

Alda and David were absolutely wonderful. They were friendly, organized, and very reliable. I felt very comfortable leaving my home and my dog in their care. I returned to a super chilled dog and a clean and tidy home, just perfect.   100% recommended.

Christine

Ebony was an excellent pet sitter. She cared for my sweet Smudge with love and patience. She sent several pictures and videos. Those really helped ease my mind, especially since this was my first time away from Smudge. Ebony went above and beyond, not only in her care for Smudge, but also in dealing with an unexpected issue issue with the flat. she also left the flat spotless, cleaner than she found it, and remade my bed with clean sheets, enabling me to tumble right into it after an international trip.
