Joanne looked after my sweet 12 year old cat for ten days in April. Unfortunately my cat Aki was pretty unwell most likely due to the stress of us not being there😥 which was worrying and upsetting Joanne was communicative and caring, taking Aki to the vet and administering medication. When I asked her to increase her visits to care for Aki she kindly was able to do so and continued to send regular updates and photos/videos which was a relief to see I’m sure it wasn’t the most relaxing cat sitting job and am appreciative of her kind caring nature towards Aki! Thank you so much Joanne! 🐾🥰

Laura was fantastic, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we contacted her, communciation was clear and prompt. All our dog's needs were taken care of with exceptional love and care. She updated us with plenty of photos and videos and it gave us complete reassurance during our absence. If you are looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter we highly recommend Laura.
