Our experience

10+ years

We have been surrounded by animals for most of our lives coming from parents that were both dog owners. At the age of ten mum took in Nessie a 2-year-old grey Siamese, she came from a breeder friend and needed a forever home. This marked

Karen very kindly house sat for us while we were away for 4 nights. We can't recommend her more highly. Communication was always excellent; she was so

Karen and Matthew are great sitters who I highly recommend. They generously took the time to visit and meet the animals before the sit. The house was left

I have known Karen for 30 years. She's a very kind and caring individual. She loves all animals and I would be very happy for her to stay in my home to look after my pets. I have also worked with Karen. She is organised and reliable, trustworthy and very practical. She is able to manage any situations that might arise in a sensible manner. I have complete confidence in her at all times and totally recommend her.
