Cat Sitters in Rylstone

Michelle & Craig

Michelle and Craig looked after our three cats over two nights in the new year - it all went smoothly and we returned to a very clean and tidy house and happy cats. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them!

Lucy

It was brilliant having Lucy to look after Bryn & our home - everything worked out perfectly. She kept in touch regularly and we were totally confident leaving her in charge. After a long journey home, we were treated to a delicious home-cooked meal too. Bryn welcomed us back and then disappeared again to find Lucy - he clearly adored her! We would highly recommend Lucy and would be delighted to have her here again as a housesitter, or as a guest.

Louise

Couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter than Louise. She was very low maintenance from the beginning, but at the same time very thorough about making sure she knew about our dogs routine's etc before arriving even checking up on an old injury he had which I noted in my welcome book. She asked all the right kind of questions from the start and is obviously experienced in looking after animals. Because of our travel timings I couldn't be there to meet Louise on her arrival or see her off on her departure, but she took this in her stride and was very happy to meet with the friend I'd made arrangements with. Louise left the house very tidy and we came back to a very happy dog who had obviously been well looked after whilst we were away. She was a great communicator, and even picked up on the fact that our dog had lost his identification ring off his collar. I wouldn't hesitate to book Louise again if she wanted to return to our area.

Samuel

Sam & Caitlin are wonderful , perfect house guests and dog carers .and are 100% reliable Lulu had a great time with a variety of city walks which kept her happy and even a few adventures to the countryside . I would love to have them visit again and I am absolutely sure that Lulu would give them a warm welcome too . Thank you

Deborah

I would highly recommend Deborah and Brian as sitters. They were amazing. This was our first experience of having sitters and they looked after our fur babies extremely well. They kept in touch throughout the visit and were not phased by one of them being poorly. The house was spotless on our return. Thank you so much Deborah and Brian!

Charles & Liz

Charles and Liz were fantastic sitters. They stepped in an quite short notice and were even flexible when my return time changed. Communication was excellent and they left the house immaculate. Ozzie was very happy with them. They also dealt with some cat pee incidents very calmly. Highly recommended sitters.

Gavin & Michelle

Gavin and Shelly were excellent sitters who were quietly confident and very competent. They were very communicative and we felt very comfortable to leave Rufus and Monty in their care. We would highly recommend them and not hesitate to welcome them again. Thank you both .

Neale

Neale and Penny are a wonderfully relaxed couple to whom both animals took straightaway; the dog was so happy in their company that she took advantage of their good nature and was allowed to sleep on their bed. The house is clean and tidy and all the indoor plants are alive including the temperamental cyclamen. Excellent Housesitters!

Judith

Judith came and looked after our house and dog for a week and did a wonderful job. She happily came a few hours earlier than planned when we were panicking about bank holiday traffic, and communicated really well about travel plans. She looked after Woody so well, taking him in a whole range of adventures so it feels like he’s had a mini holiday of his own while Judith was here. We received lots of photos and updates about their adventures during the week. She looked after our house so well, leaving everything very tidy and washing bedding before she left. Judith was a wonderful house sitter and is welcome back any time!

Ellie & Max

This is the second time Ellie and Max have sat for us - we invited them back personally based on a fantastic experience first time round. They are reliable, look after our house and pets perfectly and go above and beyond!

Lesia & Richard

Lesia and Richard are absolutely fantastic pet sitters. I can not fault the care they gave to our two pooches Dotty and Bella. A lovely, friendly couple. They left the house clean and tidy and I wouldn't hesitate to have them look after our dogs again if they're free. Thank you both for being such good sitters. Dotty and Bella are missing you both!

Clare

Clare and Ruth were super housesitters. Very capable and took everything in their stride. My dogs and poultry were very well looked after. I would highly recommend these girls to others

Wendy

Jan was awesome- very responsive to communication and easy to work with. She coped with the cats slightly complex regimen very easily and they obviously loved her! 

Thought we had left the house clean and tidy when we departed but it was even more so when we returned! 

I was slightly less organised and got our return date wrong but Jan took that in her stride. 

All up - highly recommended and I would be more than happy to have her back again.

Sarah

Great sit, kept my informed of the animals and how they were getting in. House was nice and tidy when I returned.
Thank you again for sitting my fur and feather babies
