“George is a very interesting and conscientious person with a calming nature, which is great for our cats. We were completely happy with George staying over-night to look after our 2 kitties who love cuddles in the evening and first thing in the morning and it's s great comfort that they can snuggle up to someone in bed. They were very relaxed when we returned home. Highly recommend, we will be booking for future holidays.”
“Emelia did a fantastic job looking after my cat Ziggy , she gave updates on his progress and sent pictures to keep us piece of mind while we were on holiday, I would recommend Emilia as a fantastic pet sitter. Elspeth”

About: During my time working in a kennel the best care was provided, always keeping it clean and giving lots of attention. Always playing with dogs and cats every day! I worked there for 4 years and have always had pets! I have given baths and given medications for years too :) I am currently unemployed due to trying a change in career and not enjoying it so as of now I am available a majority of the time! In your home it would be treated with respect and would clean anything up behind your furry friend! I’m happy to do whatever you’d like for you and your pets to be happy aswell
