      Shona & Michael looked after Clarissa’s pets & home

      Shona came and stayed in our home whilst we were at a festival and looked after our cat Meeko. She was very well looked after and Shona gave us regular updates whist we were away. She was attentive and caring and responded to Meeko’s needs. Would highly recommend!!
