What Our Clients say
Hi Ian
Just a quick note to thank you for your excellent care of Puss Cat over the last few days. I got real peace of mind to see the photos you sent every day, and to get your messages. PC was happy, relaxed and contented when I got home, and this means everything to me. I’ll definitely be doing some word of mouth advertising for your service, and using it again in future.
Many Sincere Thanks

Cat Pet Sitting | Holland ParkHi Ian,
We arrived home yesterday to very relaxed and happy cats. Thank you for taking such good care of Candy and Edgar, and for the daily photographs which are a great comfort to us while we are away. We also appreciate what a great job you do with keeping an eye on things with the house – plant watering, bins, and mail.
Thanks again and best wishes,

happy clientHi Stephanie & Ian,
Thanks very much for feeding the boys, they didn’t seem too upset with us for leaving them outside for a couple of weeks as they had plenty of food and water to keep them happy. I’ve attached a photo, so you know they actually exist! Thanks again.
