Ruth was brilliant and looked after our cat Lumi whilst we were away. As soon as I met Ruth I was put at ease. Lovely updates as well. Respectful, reliable and kind. We definitely will be using Ruth again in the future. Really pleased to have found a fantastic cat sitter in the area. Thanks again!

Ruth again did a fantastic job of looking after my two shy Siamese cats, Tilly and Ned. This is the third (or perhaps fourth?) time she has visited them while I've been away, and they are always happy and relaxed when I get home. Ruth cleans up after them and sends me lots of photos and updates. I have already booked with her for my next trip!
