Helen is an excellent cat minder, and Serge was a great helper. I was very nervous leaving Milo for the first time ever, but Helen’s experience truly shows in her care and she put me at ease. Helen stepped in at short notice for three nights and looked after him wonderfully. Helen carefully managed his wound care by keeping it completely clean and dry. Her regular photo and video updates gave me peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a relaxed, happy and perfectly healing cat. I would definitely recommend Helen.

Helen was great with Taffy. He seems to have had a great time with her . He seems to have been well looked after. Eaten all his food , played with his toys and exercised. We are using Helen again in August.

This was Sassy's second " holiday" with Helen. She usually gets annoyed with me if I leave her for any length of time, but she was happy to see me again after a week away. Obviously, she was happy with Helen who sent me many photos to reassure me that Sassy was fine. I would be happy to recommend Helen's services to others.
