Karen was excellent, both leading up to the house sit and during the time she was there. Sent messages and a few photos of our cat while we were away which

Karen looked after Katherine’s pets & home

Karen sat for us earlier this year and she was complete joy. She looked after our slightly anxious dog and our quite full of himself cat beautifully. We returned to an immaculate house and two relaxed and healthy pets. She is great with animals including dogs and let our dog come to her and he took to her very quickly. She was very kind and understanding while we were away about his fear of thunder and slightly picky eating. Communication between us beforehand was easy and she kindly arrived a day early so the dog could get used to her. She is clearly well used to housesits so gathered quickly and easily what needed to be done with our slightly quirky house and the animals needs. She kept in touch with us while we were away with some lovely photos. We recommend her wholeheartedly.

Why I want to house sit

I discovered pet sitting while travelling in New Zealand for 6 months - I've been hooked ever since. Enjoying looking after pets & experiencing new places is a huge win win for me. I have many excellent reviews with both the Kiwi & UK
