Jo & Paul are genuine animal lovers, especially cats and have had their own for many years. We would be more than happy to trust Jo & Paul with our home and our trio of demanding cats. We would have every confidence that our cats would be well cared for and would enjoy the attention that would be lavished on them. Jo & Paul are a friendly and reliable couple who we have known for a few years and have no hesitation in recommending them as house sitters / pet sitters.

Why we want to house sit

We are both now retired and have lots of time to dedicate to travel and would love to combine this with giving our time and attention to pets whilst their parents are away. As cat parents we totally understand how difficult it is to leave
