Janice very kindly did a cat sit with my four cats while I was away in December. She took very good care of them and they were very relaxed with her. She allowed one of them to share her bedroom, or Janice to share the cats bedroom as she sleeps there most nights! The house was neat and tidy on my return and I think Janice was a very good sitter and wish her all the best with future sits N.B. I was a member of THS when I booked Janice, but as my membership has expired I can only give an external reference and not a members one.
