We have just said goodbye and thank you to James. He has been an excellent sitter for our two cats, tropical fish and chickens. He kindly agreed to arrive the afternoon before we left so I could walk him through how to deal with our chickens, as we have a very mean cockerel! We were pleased he already had experience looking after chickens. Our cats, who are usually quite timid, took to him from the start. James sent us photos and updates. He successfully administered anti-biotics to our cat, Eddie, who had managed to injure himself just before our holiday. The house was kept clean and tidy and he even washed his bed linen before leaving. I would happily recommend him as a sitter and ask him to sit for us again.
