We were fortunate to have Ben as a sitter for our three cats and home during a recent four day trip. From the start, Ben was a prompt and clear communicator, making it easy to coordinate before and during the sit. He was able to flex his schedule to accommodate us returning an hour or so after we initially planned - and took the time to answer any questions we had about the sit were answered before he left. Ben shared pictures or videos of the cats each day, in line with what we hoped for, with a healthy does of humor thrown in. He has a good understanding of the quirks of cats and took any shyness or antics in stride. We returned to a clean and tidy house and happy cats. Without hesitation, we would have Ben sit for us again.
Dacia and I connected before our trips and stayed in touch during their stay. It was wonderful to get little updates and to see how happy our kitties were with new friends. Dacia even spent extra time with Mamma Cat (TNVR outdoor cat that I am trying to convince to move inside). Thank you for the peace of mind - and tidy house! 10/10

If you love your dogs, do not use this man to care for your dogs. I employed him to care for my two dogs for two weeks and house sit whilst I went on holiday. He failed to provide even the basic level of care for my dogs and one was left covered in red raw sores and a bald and infected tail. He clearly hadn’t even walked them as there was large amounts of faeces in the garden and my dogs never use the garden as a toilet unless absolutely desperate and no other option. My neighbours confirmed that they saw no evidence that he was there during the day or night. My dogs were left extremely distressed and in pain when I got home yet this man claims not to have noticed either the sores or any level of suffering. He lied to me throughout and continued to lie about his level of care until I showed him evidence of his actions had had on my babies.
Very happy to recommend George, he walks our two Dalmatians every week and they not only adore him ( I totally trust their judgment ) but come home suitably exhausted.
