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.
