Married couple, experienced cat 'servants'

56, Taking a loooooong career break?!

62, Taken early retirement

Hi, we are a mature (ish!) married couple. we relocated to beautiful North Wales in 2020 and (post Covid) found ourselves in the position to take early retirement. We love travelling and exploring new places but have always had cats around the house. Our 'special needs old girl' passed away in 2021 (we got her as a 'Golden oldie' looking for somewhere to spend her last couple of years but she enjoyed 6 wonderful years with us). We have decided not to get another cat of our own for now but do miss the furry, purry company! We both had CRB checks as part of our work requirements and also for befriending volunteering in our village. I used to work for a Housing Association and Chris had a career in Transport, including management. Before retiring he worked part-time driving for a large supermarket. We have used HouseSittersUK very successfully for several years and we have met some wonderful people. We have always had contented pets on our return. Since moving we have been lucky enough to return the sitting and have made new furry friends. We think this is a great scheme and the best thing for your pets whilst you are away. We will treat your home and pets with love and respect. Please read our positive Reviews as House owners and sitters. As well as a lifetime's experience with cats, we've also kept chickens and tropical fish and more recently have become the 'emergency go to' for friends dog sitting (see pictures). Although we are absolute 'cat people' we would would be happy to consider sits with older, calm dogs now we have waggy friends too. Happy to provide copied of ID etc, and chat/ video call further if required.

This was our first time using House Sitters UK & we were a little apprehensive as we have two sensitive cats. We searched for sitters who were “cat people” & we were so pleased to find the ideal couple. Claire & Chris have experience in using house sitters themselves which made everything more straightforward & meeting them both before our departure was a great reassurance. Whilst away we were informed with updates & photos which gave us peace of mind without intruding on our holiday. Their aim ... MORE

Claire and Chris looked after our house and two cats whilst we were away. Communication was brilliant both before and during the sit giving us reassurance that everything was fine. Our cats were both super relaxed when we returned. It's like we hadn't been away. Our home was so clean and tidy when we returned. It was a real pleasure to have them sit for us. I would recommend them to anyone.

Claire was fantastically helpful at the beginning as this was the first time I have used a sitter. The initial visit was very useful and I found both Claire and Chris to be lovely people. The cats were so happy with the love, care and attention they received that they hardly noticed I was home! The house was immaculate on my return and the level of communication throughout the sit was excellent. 5+ stars for everything. I would certainly recommend Claire and Chris very highly.
