Dorothea recently house sat for our two very complicated kitties for a week. Both of our cats suddenly developed IBD when they were 8 years old and now require around-the-clock coaxing with small, frequent meals (8–9 a day!), medication given at set times, endless patience and, for the lucky volunteer, regular stool monitoring too! It's a full-time job, so we were incredibly anxious about going away. In fact, this was our first holiday since they became ill a year ago. It turns out we needn't have worried. Dorothea was reliable, compassionate and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She treated our two princesses as if they were her own. The best way I can describe her is as a real-life Mrs Doubtfire... in the very best sense. She has that wonderfully warm, reassuring, caring presence and Scottish tone that instantly puts you at ease, coupled with an infectious sense of humour. But don't let that fool you! She also has endless energy, is wonderfully proactive and somehow manages to keep on top of everything without ever seeming flustered. She also very kindly watered our garden while we were away during what felt like the hottest week of June on record. If you're looking for someone who will genuinely care for your pets, your home and your peace of mind, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dorothea. We came home to two very happy cats, and for us, that's about the highest praise we can give.

Fabulous cay sitter. Dorothea has looked after our cats as good as we would ourselves if not better! She also left our house absolutely immaculate. Not sure the cats even noticed we had gone 😅 I would definitely book Dorothea again. Highly recommending her.
