Edith has been a House and Pet sitter for us for many years. She is a very reliable, tidy, honest and responsible house sitter, and has looked after our dogs, cats and hens extremely well. One of the cats has special needs, as he has diabetes, and Edith is very comfortable with providing the daily injections needed. The animals welcome her to our home as much as we do - she always makes a special effort with us all. I thoroughly recommend her.

Edith is a very trustworthy and capable house/petsitter. Edith is very tidy and looked after our home like it was her own. We have a 13-year-old Maltese Bichon (Matti) who is an insulin dependent diabetic and required twice daily blood sugar testing and insulin injections. Edith charted and administered his insulin with care and also gave him daily eyedrops. We also have a Pomeranian Chihuahua (Toto) and our tabby cat (Cuddles). Edith walked our dogs daily and gave them lots of love and affection. Edith has minded them on lots of occasions and Matti, Toto & Cuddles are always excited to see her arrive which I think is a testament to the care she provides. I would highly recommend Edith as a house sitter and pet sitter.
