Nicole & Dave were incredible house sitters for my 3 kitties while we were away on holiday. I always worry about my oldest cat who has separation anxiety; and yet, after some coaxing from Nicole, Cynder came out to enjoy the companionship they offered to him. Although it was not expected, Nicole kept in contact with me over the 2 weeks providing me with updates and photos of the cats, and my gardens. And I'm confident all 3 kitties loved having them tend to them. The house was immaculate when we returned late in the evening and my gardens were very well tended and the lawn mowed (thanks by the way). I would highly recommend them for you and hope to use them again in the future.
Elsa kindly came to look after our eight month old persian kitten, Cyrus. Elsa is the perfect housitter - I cannot fault her! She arrived on time to meet us and asked all of the right questions. Whilst we were away she sent us regular updates on Cyrus - who clearly had an absolute ball without us. We returned home to find the house looking spotlessly clean and tidy, but most importantly, an incredibly happy and relaxed cat (he actually seemed sad that Elsa had gone). Cyrus' longfur had been groomed beautfully - his fur mats easily, so we were delighted to see how much care and attention Elsa had clearly given to brushing him. Elsa is clearly an animal lover and has a very natural way with animals. She followed feeding instructions carefully (Cyrus is very fussy) and kept up our routine. A marvellous sitter!Don't think twice about inviting Elsa to sit for you - she is trustworthy, reliable and most importantly will take perfect care of any pet. We look forward to Elsa returning to look after Cyrus many more times in the future!
