Sasha:
“James and Jemma were kind enough to come and house sit Sasha for a week whilst we took a holiday away. From start to finish they were thoroughly professional; ensuring that we had given them all of the phone numbers they might require, instructed them on how to clean the pool and whether or not Sasha had any special dietry requirements (we suggested Atkins) as well as anything else they should know about.
We were able to logon to our emails each day and see a new report telling us how they were getting on, what Sasha had been up to and just generally how things were going back at the house – it was very comforting to know that we would be returning to our house exactly as we had left it.”

Tarzey & Farra
“James Cave and Jemma Porter very kindly stepped in at short notice to house sit for me and did a fantastic job of looking after my two cats and flat while I was away. They are very professional, but also very friendly, reliable, honest, willing, caring and cheerful and altogether exactly the sort of people you want looking after your precious pets and home while you’re away. My cats can be a bit of a challenge: they like to be fed frequently, one of them likes to eat too much and the other is on 3 medicines. James and Jemma coped brilliantly with giving Tarzey his medicines (both syrup and tablets). The cats took to them from the start and when I came home seemed very happy and content. The flat was cleaner than when I left it and I’d have absolutely no hesitation in asking James and Jemma to house sit again for me or in recommending them to anyone else.”

Ziggy:
“I can’t stress enough just how amazing it was to get away knowing that Ziggy was perfectly safe and cared for whilst we were away. All of the attention and extra care you gave is greatly appreciated – it really is great to know that he is getting proper attention (he needs a lot of it) and love.
The daily report was so professional! We felt like we were totally on top of everything, even when we were hundreds of miles away. All of the work you carried out watering the plants and cleaning the hottub really made a difference and meant that we could continue to relax as soon as we got back. It was also great to see Ziggy was getting properly walked and that he was getting proper home-cooked doggie meals.
If you’re ever get lonely and miss Ziggy’s little face just let us know! We’re always in need of someone to mind him when we go away and you would definitely be welcome to come back.”

Max
“Thank you so much for looking after Max at the last minute. We couldn’t bear the thought of putting him in a cattery and didn’t have anyone else to mind him. It was great to return home and see that he had been properly cared for and was in excellent health!
I’d have no hesitation in recommending you to people in the future!”
- Tessa
The Fish
“Just wanted to say thank you for taking care of my collection of fish whilst I was away. Everything was perfect when I came home but most importantly the fish were alive and well.”
- Sam A
Mouseley
“Really appreciate you being able to mind Mouseley whilst I was away. I know he can be a bit picky with his food sometimes, but you did a really great job and it looks like you’ve all become best friends in the process. If you’re up for it again it would be a pleasure to have you back.”
