My experience

7 years

I regularly cat sit for neighbours and friends - both indoor and outdoor cats. I've helped with medications and looked after cats both young and old. I've also dog sat previously although not with dogs with health problems. I also have

Sam's care of my elderly, disabled and sometimes difficult cat has been excellent. He has recently been a very poorly boy so I was nervous about going away

Sam is an excellent house/pet sitter. She looked after my cat very well and kept me updated. My home was spotlessly clean on my return. I highly recommend

Sam was the perfect sitter for Charlie. Communication was excellent and she lavished him with affection to make sure he found our absence much less

I am really grateful to Sam for taking such wonderful care of my cat, Mimi. Leading up to the sit, Sam responded to my messages promptly, which gave me a lot

This was Sam's second stay with us, and yet again she was brilliant company. Our cat Dusty was clearly a massive fan as well, judging by the daily pictures

I connected with Sam on another platform for regular pet sitting of my cat in November 2023. I didn’t know her before, and she’s so far been once for a few days. I have a few years experience using Trusted House Sitters. The house was tidy on my return, and my cat seemed fine, well cared for. I found Sam to be a great communicator, sending me little messages every day. She is organised and friendly. She has a public profile as an academic and I’d say she is indeed a trusted housesitter!

Why I want to house sit

I love the company of animals. I don't have any of my own because I travel so much for work and it wouldn't be fair on any pet. I am looking for a cheaper alternative to constantly paying for hotels and love the company of animal friends. I
