Pet Sitters in Rickmansworth

Sara

Sara was great - looked after everything really well -thank you

Aysha

Aysha arrived a little later than agreed but I do live in the South East!!! When I met Aysha I knew she was going to be OK! She had a list of questions for me and if she needed anything she messaged me. The house was lovely, clean and tidy when I got home but most importantly Stuart the Cat was very chilled and had obviously been looked after very well! I can definitely recommend Aysha and would have her back to look after Stuart any time!

Gemma

Gemma looked after our dog, cats, chickens, sheep and pigs for a week. It was lovely to come home to happy animals and a clean house! We would recommend her and her lovely family to look after any house and animals!

Karen & Brendan

I thought they were brilliant and at relatively short notice, they were in touch on a regular basis much to the joy of my kids. When you come home and the dogs are almost disappointed to see you, you know they’ve been well cared for. Absolutely brilliant

Deborah

Deborah was very reliable .looked after the animals very well. She kept the house spotless. Could not fault her. She was very hands on . and helped where needed. Would highly recommend her. I would like to have Deborah again in the near future. 10 out of 10 .

Ellen

It was our first time using a house sitter and we could not have been more pleased. Ellen was fantastic and looked after the dogs perfectly. It was also a pleasure to meet her. She is charming, intelligent and thoughtful and clearly has a very good rapport with pets. Our dogs were very comfortable with her right from the start. I'd recommend her without hesitation.

Ekaterina

Thanks to Ekaterina, we could enjoy our holiday without worrying about our cat because she often reported his condition and sent his photos to us. We couldn’t manage to meet her when we came home as our flight was delayed, but our house was so clean and tidy, also she made and left a chocolate cake for us. we strongly recommend her and would like her to look after our cat again!

Denise

Denise looked after our cat and 2 dogs for 10 days in August. Everything was completely unproblematic from the initial contact to the final wrapping up. She left the house very tidy and our animals all seemed really happy and well looked after when we returned. Denise was very self-sufficient, and also always replied very promptly when asked for updates. I would have no hesitation in recommending Denise for future house-sits! Thanks for looking after our gang so well :)

Romana

Romana was an absolute delight to have to sit for us, nothing too much trouble and we felt totally relaxed leaving her in charge She was conscientious and caring . She was brilliant with our dogs and had them sussed immediately ! I would thoroughly recommend Romana in the future

Sandra & Maheshi

It was delightful to meet Sandra and Maheshi when they came to sit for us for the weekend. Communication was great, from the initial zoom call to the updates they sent. When we returned the house was just as we left it and the dogs happy. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Paul

Steven and Ariel were amazing house sitters. They came to meet my husband beforehand to introduce themselves, which I thought was nice and reassuring. They sent us frequent updates and photos of our lovely Fluffy. The kids and i enjoyed seeing what she was up to… she looked very happy with Steven and Ariel in the photos and videos and I could see they were treating her very well. Once we got home Fluffy was relaxed. They left our home exactly as they found it, plus they cleaned up a pan I had nearly destroyed and left a beautiful floral display. We were very pleased as they made our few days away worry free and the process was effortless. We would be happy for them both to stay in our home and look after Fluffy again.

Debbie

Debbie was lovely and sweet to work with! She was flexible and really cared about Kale’s wellbeing. She gave him his flea medicine, which was really helpful and let him in the backyard, which was a bonus. We had some communication mishaps so I learned over communication is key! But we easily resolved them and Debbie was great about it. She even left some flowers and a card for me and my sister at the end of the sit as a thank you.

Barbara

Barbara and Mike are a lovely couple who very kindly let us use their cottage on the night before the sit and for the day following it so as to allow us smooth transition from one sit to another. The main house is a large country house with substantial grounds ideally situated by the A31 near Ringwood. The dogs Willow and Mr Wags are adorable cocker spaniels who love to be cuddled up close to you on the settee and the two miniature Shetland ponies Judy and Cinnamon are approachable and easy to look after. We had a lovely time looking after things and walking Willow and Mr Wags around the grounds and parts of the New Forest. We will look forward to going back there again in November.

Lisa

My girlfriend and I had an excellent time looking after Shana!!! Lisa and Batie were wonderful. We were fortunate to share a couple meals together. They have a beautiful family and we were lucky to stay with them.
Shana is an early riser and can be anxious at times. She settled in quickly with us after a day or two. She can be very sweet and affectionate.  We will miss coffees with shana in the morning. Thanks for having us :)

Michael

Cleo is a lovely well behaved dog with plenty of energy and lots of fun. We enjoyed our walks along the amazing beach which is only two minutes from Mick and Debs home. We were made very welcome with clear and comprehensive details on what was needed for our sit, which is always a great help. Mick and Debs home is very modern and has stunning views across the water. There are plenty of shops a short walk away and Cleo on her lead was a welcome companion. We had a marvelous time with a top dog in a stunning home..
