Cat Sitters in Richmond

Nick & Emily

Nick and Emily are extremely warm, intelligent, knowledgeable, fun people. I cant say enough nice things, and it was an absolute delight to meet them. We feel so lucky that they were able to look after our difficult little brood (and fix that pesky draw that has sucked for at least 10 years!) Thank you guys...

Till

Till and Pierre looked well after Jinxi and Jasper. They provided regular updates and the house was clean and tidy on my return.

Lewis & Holly

Lewis & Holly are lovely people and having met them, we had no qualms whatsoever about leaving them in charge of our old blind cat for 3 weeks (and our almost as precious, house). Our pussy cat and also the house were both in pristine condition when we arrived home and Lewis was super kind in sending us fun updates and photos of our fuzzy boy at regular intervals- just enough to stop us from worrying. They were totally trustworthy and we appreciate their contribution to our holiday as it was totally stress free.

Carson

Carson was amazing! Highly recommended, super animal focused and a pleasure to have stay at our place

Hayley & Joseph

Hayley and Joseph were amazing! the house was spotless and both Bernie and Jon were very relaxed when we got home. Thankyou so much to both of you for such an awesome sit. Hopefully we can welcome you back again soon!

Darcy

Darcy & Sam were great from beginning to end. They both met with us and the dogs first so that we were more comfortable in leaving our dogs without family for the first time. They were prompt, reliable and communicated well throughout, and our home was tidy upon return. Most importantly the dogs were clearly well looked after and very settled after we returned. Sam & Darcy provided us a great first experience using this service and we’d definitely recommend and use them again.

Charlotte

Charlotte and her sister Olivia were exceptional sitters. I would give them 10 stars if I could! Our little Pablo who is still a puppy adored them and they obliged me by doing extra days. I highly recommend them and hope that our paths will cross again.

Tessa

Tessa was wonderful! She was my first sitter from this app/site. She took excellent care of my three cats and handled everything on her own to ensure their wellbeing. She even sent me photos without me having to ask and took my elderly gal for porch walks in the sun. Tessa left our house as she found it which was great to come home to!

Heather & Kate

Heather and Kate looked after our two dogs and home fantastically. They kept us updated with pictures etc. regarding how the dogs were and what fun they were all having together. Our home was beautifully clean and tidy when we got back and the dogs happy and clearly well looked after. Thank you Heather and Kate for making our trip/s away stress free. To be on the other side of the world and not have to worry about anything was terrific. We’d love to have you sit again if you’re available next time we go away.

Hector & Mariel

Hector & Mariel took great care of my little Kloppy and my apartment in general. They provided me with regular photo and video updates and were very reliable in terms of liaising between the different people in my life (eg, coordinating pickup and drop off of Kloppy with my ex husband). They have a natural warm predisposition and Kloppy and them bonded immediately when we first met them.

Rebecca

Rebecca and James were absolutely fantastic. They sent me an update with photos every day (their idea), included Teddy in their activities and took him walking every day. Teddy had a small injury to his foot (that he got a few days before they arrived) so they had to ensure Ted wore a vet ‘bucket’ on his head to stop him licking. By the time I got back his injury had healed. My cat Uzi also was looked after, fed and cuddled lots, and both animals were calm and happy when we returned. The house was immaculate, they had even washed the bedsheets and left us a little gift to say thanks for the stay. I would absolutely recommend Rebecca and James as both pet and house sitters and hope they will sit for me again one day.

David & Margaret

This was David & Margaret’s second stay & would welcome them back at anytime. Very reliable, punctual, self sufficient & clean. They took great care of all our animals, which was greatly appreciated. Our dog keeps going back to check if they are in, he misses them. I’d highly recommend David & Margaret to sit if you are considering them.

Merav

Thank you, Sabina for treating our cat & home as yours. 

Sabina is a trusty woman and great communicator, before during and after the sit. 

She completely won our trust & hearts (not only of the humans in this household. We believe Meir was a bit disappointed to find us at home when he returned from his evening shift patrolling the hood). 

We’ve received loads of picture & clips of Sabina & Meir hanging out together and she saw through all his manipulative moves… 

Sabina, we will coordinate our future trips with your visits to Frankfurt :)

Lily

Brenna did an excellent job of looking after our little cat whilst we were away! She was great at communicating and messaged us lovely photos and updates every day to give us peace of mind that he was being well taken care of. She also left the house extremely tidy and took good care of our home whilst we were away. We couldn’t have asked for more so thank you Brenna 😊
