There aren’t enough stars to add to reflect the experience we had with Dina and Karimah but in the absence of more, suffice to say they were wonderful. We feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to have them sit for us. Not only did they provide amazing care for our three cats (our dog was with staying elsewhere) but they left the house so clean and tidy and even were thoughtful enough to strip the bedsheets and launder them. We know the cats were happy through regular updates and photos and when we arrived back they were calm and content. Zippy was also out and about from day 1 which doesn’t always happen with him being a shy little scaredy cat with new people/voices. I think Dina and Karimah gave off great vibes to the cats from the outset :) We also had the opportunity to meet before the sit at the house so Dina and Karimah could see the layout and discuss the cat routines etc which was super helpful. It’s always nice to meet your sitters ahead rather than just handing over keys to a ‘stranger’ and we really appreciated this. Despite a couple of little curveballs the cats threw at them during the sit,, Dina and Karimah dealt with the incidents calmly and responsibly, obviously wanting to trouble us on our holidays as little as possible. I would have no hesitation in rebooking with Dina and Karimah for our next sit… in fact they would be our first choice and I hope very much we will keep in touch. True gems. Beautiful (and talented!) human beings and obviously great with animals. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our furry felines and our house.
