It was very easy to have Steve and Marjorie look after Minie. They were very organised and communicated well before the sit. The house was clean and tidy

I am writing this letter to wholeheartedly recommend Steve Collett as a responsible and trustworthy individual to house sit and care for your pets. I have known Steve for 9 years and can attest to his reliability, integrity, and genuine love for animals. During my own experiences with Steve, he has consistently demonstrated a strong sense of responsibility and commitment. Whether it's taking care of my pets while I have been on holiday or helping others, Steve approaches every task with a high level of dedication and attention to detail. His compassionate nature makes him particularly well-suited for the responsibilities associated with pet care. Steve has proven to be adept at handling various types of pets, including dogs, cats birds, fish and rabbits, ensuring their well-being, and providing the love and attention they need. Additionally, he is meticulous when it comes to following any specific care instructions, dietary restrictions, or medical needs that your pets may have. In terms of house sitting, Steve is highly respectful of others' spaces and belongings. I am confident that he will treat your home with the utmost care and maintain it in the condition you would expect. Having personally witnessed Steve's dedication to creating a safe and nurturing environment for pets, I believe he would be an excellent choice for your house-sitting needs. Thank you for considering Steve for this important task. I am certain that you will find him to be a reliable and caring house sitter for your cherished pets. Sincerely Luisa Stade
