Cat Sitters in Kibworth Harcourt

Karen & Andrew

Karen and Andy were the perfect Housesitters. They were punctual, reliable, friendly and excellent communicators. We went on holiday feeling assured that we had left our house, garden and Labrador, Harry, in very safe hands. We came home to a happy dog, clean and tidy home and a well cared-for garden. We would thoroughly recommend Karen and Andy and delighted that they made our first experience of Housesitters such a relaxing one.

Jess

Jess and Ben were absolutely fantastic, we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy house sitters to look after their home and pets. Minutes before Jess and Ben arrived we discovered that 2 of our chickens had become very unwell, so they arrived to a rather chaotic scene of panicked children and sick chooks. Armed with experience in such matters, they very much took it all in their stride and took over the nursing duties without a problem. They also took great care of our rather excitable dog who can be a little overwhelming with her love and enthusiasm for life! Again, they were un-fazed and sent lots of photos of her having a lovely time which was very welcome. Communication before, during and after their stay was great and the house was left very clean and tidy when they left. we would certainly welcome the back!

Jessica

We were very happy to leave our two cats with Jess - she took great care of the house, sent us regular cute updates on how they were doing, and all round made sure we never had to worry for a minute of our holiday. Would definitely recommend!

Aman

Aman took care of our elderly dog. We were able to meet beforehand to introduce her to Tilly. Great communication prior to and during the sit. Aman is calm and gentle and caring: perfect for our little dog. Tilly was obviously happy in her company. She did a great job looking after our dog and home and we are so pleased that she has agreed to look after our dog on a longer sit. We highly recommend her. Thanks Aman.

Hannah

Hannah was wonderful. Peri and Arki have made new friends in Hannah and Junior. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Claire

Claire was a wonderful pet sitter who I would welcome her back any time. She was very attentive to the needs of each pet and indispensable when one of my cats took ill. Her care went above and beyond, with trips to the vet, handling medications, and offering loving care. She was also a great communicator throughout the month-long stay, giving regular updates and consulting with any questions. She also took the dogs for lots of long walks and kept their fur in great shape. Four pets can be a handful and she proved very competent, reliable and trustworthy. She also took good care of my home and car. Very highly recommended!

Leanne

Leanne initially came for a 10 day sit, but stayed for almost 3 months! I think that says it all. She is kind, caring, independent, well-travelled, respectful of my home, and wonderful with Thelma. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to other pet owners and would be more than happy to have her come back. She genuinely cared for my dog.

Fanny Garrigues & Paul

Fanny and Paul were absolutely fantastic! They looked after our 3 year old cockapoo who can be a handful but nothing seemed too much of a hassle for Fanny and Paul, they went above and beyond to keep him happy. Upon our request, they arrived early and met up with Milo which was much appreciated. You can see they really love animals and know what they're doing. We had the most relaxing time on our holiday knowing Milo is in the best hands. We couldn't be more grateful to this wonderful couple and would have them back any time!

Melissa

Our home and animals were well looked after while we were away and I felt safe leaving them in Melissa and Mark’s care. They are welcome to come back another time.

Kavita & Jeremy

Kavita and Jez were great sitters. I came home to a lovely clean house and a happy cat. Their communication was great, lots of photos, and they were a pleasure to deal with. The whole process was a breeze and they clearly gave lots of care and attention to my Bertie-Boo. Highly recommend them as sitters for you!

Sue

Sue and Dave were absolutely first class and it was a pleasure to host them. The care and attention that they showed towards Ellie and Pippa was excellent, I could have asked for an easier experience. The communication was easy and on my return the cottage was spotlessly clean. Thank you so much to both of you.

Sharon & Duane

Thank you for a stress free and flexible pet sit. Really appreciates the photos during your stay. You have been a pleasure to deal with even if we were a bit chaotic! Would fully recommend! l

Lynda

We would like to thank sheila for looking after our house and our beloved pets for two weeks over the Christmas period..Scrappy Boo Boo and Picasso were all well looked after and all seemed well chilled out out on our return. Sheila even stayed an extra day because of our delayed return which we were truly grateful.   Sheila took advantage of of our lovely city of Lincoln and its amenities, our local restaurants shops etc, and said she really enjoyed her stay here which we were both pleased about.  So I would happily recommend Sheila for future housesits. thanks from Roy and Lynda

Leigh Ann

I am extremely disappointed with Liz’s stay.  I had a $1k rug ruined from letting them go the bathroom numerous times in the house.  I had explicit instructions and went through my ring footage and the dogs were completely neglected numerous times.  Including asking for my dogs to be taken out at certain times which did not happen or for them to be in their crates longer than 4 plus hours.  She left them for 8 hours after they had only been out for 5 minutes for the entire day.  Numerous other times she was actually there and again neglected to take them out causing damage to my house.  I came home to house that was not in the same order as left.  Including arriving at 1:30am to wet sheets in the wash and nothing to go to sleep on all while letting her stay so you could start her next sit the next day.  One of my dogs got hurt and had numerous lacerations and she had no idea when questioned.  Liz only got one star because my dogs were actually alive when I arrived but would not use her again as she is staying at peoples houses for a bed and not doing what she is being requested to do.  I am extremely disappointed with this experience and this made my vacation very stressful and I had to try to clean my house up after her visit for the entire day.
