Cat Sitters in Melksham

Penny

I couldn't recommend Penny more highly, she was simply excellent throughout the 4 week sit. Penny arrived a day early to get to know us, the area and the routine which was hugely helpful and made us instantly feel at ease leaving her with our beloved pooch and house. Bonnie unusually became ill during our absence and Penny was superb taking her to Vet appointments, cooking special meals and nursing her back to health - we are so grateful. On our return the house was in great condition and Bonnie had returned to her healthy happy self. Thank you so much Penny for the additional efforts you demonstrated and the brilliant communication throughout. We wish you well with your next adventures and hope to see you again one day xx

tina & tom

Tina stayed alone to sit with Penny (the cat), she did a great job of giving Penny her medication. I appreciate that as I only recently moved house some house renovations are still underway and therefore a complete house sit pack was difficult to provide as the kitchen had only been fitted days before things are still finding a place in the house. I was nervous that Penny was still anxious in a new home but Tina ensured she was medicated and fed and updated me each day which reassured me.

Lucy

We were so lucky that our first experience with a Zeewoi was so excellent. We hope they will come again!

Lauren & Jack

They did a good job however arrived later than expected (to be fair due to traffic I assume) and left a lot earlier than initially implied. They did give the dog his dinner before they left but this was around 16:45 rather than his usual 19:00 ish. Not a huge deal but it would have been nice to been informed beforehand rather than a message after they’d already gone. Otherwise they were clean and tidy!

Georgina

Georgina, Stephen and the girls are amazing. Our house was immaculate and all animals were well looked after. They had the grand experience of new piglets being born the day they arrived and chicks hatching while they were here. It was an absolute joy seeing them again.

Ali

Ali was great over the 6 weeks she housesat for me! My cat Yasmin absolutely loved her, and Ali more than rose to the challenge of caring for a cat who needed regular medication and vet appointments. I would definitely use her again.

Ivan & Janet

They are a lovely couple and treated our home and dog with respect and love would highly recommend Janet and Ivan.

Alexandra & Jacob

A really lovely couple who calmly and kindly bonded with our dogs the minute they walked through our door. Felt 100% confident leaving the house and pets in their hands, as they were clearly both warm, considerate and extremely capable people. They left the house spick and span. Great communicators. Thoroughly recommend!

Diane

Diane did an excellent job of looking after our house and cat while we were away for two weeks. She communicated well with us in advance and during our time away and clearly enjoyed spending time with our affectionate little cat. We came home to a spotlessly clean house and everything beautifully tidy and well cared for. I would definitely welcome having Diane back to sit for us again in future.

Tom & Claire

Tom and Clare were calm, competent and first class house sitters. They looked after our two dogs and our chickens beautifully and the house was immaculate on our return. Their delightful daughters took their role as Dog Cuddlers in Chief very seriously and Albert and Arkwright have never been so pampered (and Arkwright never so fluffy after all the grooming he had!). Highly recommended and many thanks from all of us.

Jonathan & Ella

Jonno was a complete pleasure to have as our guest looking after Nancy and our home. We invited him to say the night before we left and immediately found him a delight to have in our home and to be around. Nancy loved spending time with him and our house was spotless when we returned with Jonno even taking the recycling with him We cannot rate Jonno highly enough....

Harriet

Harriet has just finished another few weeks of house sitting for us, looking after our two cats Jeff and Herbie. I returned to a super relaxed pair of cats and a lovely calm and tidy house. Harriet is an ideal house sitter. Communications were great and we got lots of updates and photos of how life was going back home. I can tell the cats really like having her around and I hope Harriet enjoyed spending more time in our home this summer. As well as taking care of our cats she also took care of the house plants and the garden. Which was much appreciated. I would be totally happy to have Harriet looking after our home and cats anytime. I highly recommend her. 😺😺

Annie

Literally couldn't have asked for anything more!  Patricia and Philip are fabulous.  The house was sparkling to return to and the dogs could not have been happier - to the extent they looked really disappointed to see us return to the fold!
Patricia kept in-touch with us when we were away with updates on 'the girls' and Phil dealt with a plumbing 
issue on our behalf - brilliant.
A real treat ... would love to keep them to ourselves but realise we have to share.

Carol

As soon as I walked through the door I knew Nadia and Marc were perfect for Mya. It felt as if I had known them for years and I had an immediate connection with them both and there personality and kindness just shone. 
I have actually been in contact with them for nearly a year now as when they took the position, Marc would often keep me posted of there adventures and there new fury friends. 
What I loved about them was that they immediately settled in and were so self sufficient. They explored all the lakes and even packed in a visit to Venice with Mya. I really felt that Mya had a fantastic holiday as every day if was a different swim. They kept me up to date with Mya daily adventures and it just made me feel so happy and not at worried about my little girl as I knew she was having a blast. 
Nadia cooked me a delicious seafood pasta too for my return and the house was spotless. 
I honestly cannot rate Marc and Nadia high enough. If you are looking for serious house sitters who actually will love your pet then look no further. I cannot wait to invite them back again.
