We have lost count of the number of house sits Claire has done for us over the last 4 years anywhere from 1 week to 3 months at a time. Claire looks after all aspects of the security and maintenance of our large Georgian townhouse including overseeing various tradespeople working inside and outside the property. Claire always stays in regular contact while we are away and it is such a comfort and reassurance to know that our 2 cats are always so well cared for - in fact, they love having her stay! Claire also helps my elderly sister with groceries and running errands. We can't say enough about Claire she is 100% reliable, trustworthy and honest and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her as a sitter.

Claire was excellent. She is calm, reliable and very efficient. I had decorators at the house while I was away and they commented on how helpful she was.
Thoroughly recommended.

Claire was a godsend when we went away this year. She looked after our house as if it was her own and cared for our two dogs with love , patience and kindness. She sent me videos to show they all getting along to put my mind at rest. Left house immaculate. I would highly recommend her to anyone thinking of using a house/pet sitter.

Thanks to Claire for being our first ever housesitter. She made the entire process worry-free. The dogs and bunny were well cared for and saved us a lot of worry about having to consider sending them to kennels (one is blind and therefore would have struggled in a new environment, so having a housesitter was essential for us). She left the house immaculate and was very respectful of everything. Will look forward to having her again in the future.

Claire was amazing. She took care of Nala and the house as if it were hers and let me know how things were doing daily. I would choose her again always
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!❤️
CARLA (Harborne, Birmingham England, Oct 2022 - 4 days)
Claire has now sat for us on 4 occasions, from 3 to 6 weeks each time. We are very happy to ask her to return, she communicates well and our cats love her, in fact one of them briefly looked disappointed when we returned. That is reassuring for us as we know they are happy and well cared for.
We unfortunately had some items stolen from a shed, Claire kept us well informed, sending photographs, information and replacing items and buying a lock.
We highly recommend her as a sitter:))

Clare arrived before the sit dates which was great for handovers and for us to meet her properly. She was keen to know what worked for Tippex and what hadn't worked/or worked well with previous sits. She was also keen to help us with the lawns without asking. Clare was very efficient and did what was needed without fuss. She kept in touch throughout the sit and sent us some photos. This was a long sit for us 6 weeks and we felt no need to worry whilst we were away and fir the full duration ...

Claire was on a sit close to us (her 3rd time with the same family), so we managed to meet up a couple of times before we went away. Claire has a lovely calm manner and Poppy took to her instantly. We were given regular video /photo updates and we came home to a tidy, clean house with the bedding and towels all washed. Poppy was a happy cat and we would not hesitate to ask Claire to look after Poppy again.

I don't understand where Claire's great reviews have come from. I will never trust a house sitter again after having her come to stay. She has damaged my sofa, broken a blown glass serving bowl, I have 2 other glass bowls missing and she melted the handle on a chef's knife and tried to hide it by throwing it in the recycling bin - also dangerous because the refuse collectors here sort by hand. I understand things get broken, but the dishonesty really upsets me. Front door was not locked when I ... MOREI don't understand where Claire's great reviews have come from.

We would not hesitate to recommend Claire as a house and animal sitter. Claire came to stay with us a few days before we went away, as we had plenty of room, and it was a great chance to get to know her and for her to know us.
Our cat was instantly besotted! It was a new experience for us to go away and feel so relaxed knowing that our home and cat were in great hands. Claire is intelligent and nice to be around, and is super clean and tidy. She was so kind in the house and even left it ... MOREWe would not hesitate to recommend Claire as a house and animal sitter.

Claire is intelligent and nice to be around, and is super clean and tidy. She was so kind in the house and even left it beautifully tidy as a surprise for when we got back. Great to communicate with and give you lovely pet-updates while you are away, we would always love Claire to come back here again. Thank you very much for your help.

Claire bravely took on my 7 month old puppy and I came home to find him well and looked after. :)
NATALIE (Bath England, Sep 2019 - 1 week 2 days)
Claire looked after our 2 cats whilst we were away on holiday for two weeks.
It is the first time we have used a house sitter and we were so impressed with the service Claire provided and wouldn't hesitate to call her up again in the future.
Upon arrival from our holiday the cats were happy and the house in immaculate condition.
Highly recommended.
MATT (Kings Heath , Aug 2019 - 1 week 6 days)
Claire was a fantastic house-sitter and put me at ease from the start. She looked after Jack our cat really well and kept us up to date with photos and messages so we didn't worry about him at all. Great communication and a really lovely lady. She was also very flexible about my holiday timings which I was very grateful for.
Having not used house sitters before I was very reassured by Claire and would welcome her back into our home anytime, She left everything spick and span.
JULIET (Coventry England, Jul 2019 - 1 week)
Claire was a great house and cat sitter. She did a fab job of looking after my two cats and kept in touch whilst I was away to let me know the cats were ok. The house was left very tidy when I returned.
SOPHIE (Bristol England, May 2019 - 5 days)
Claire looked after our 2 cats and plants beautifully - the cats were relaxed and happy on return, and even some previously problematic scratching behaviour seemed much improved!
Communication was great from the outset, and we also received welcome pics of the cats while away. We are very grateful to Claire for the wonderful experience of being able to go on holiday knowing that the cats would be very well taken care of!
ANNE (CHELTENHAM England, Mar 2019 - 2 weeks 3 days)
Not for the first time Claire has taken great care of our home and more importantly Maud and Wilf. Coming back to a clean, tidy house, two very contented cats and a very tasty supper was much appreciated. We would highly recommend Claire as a house and pet sitter and Claire will certainly be our preferred choice in the future.
KEVIN (Torrington England, Feb 2019 - 3 weeks)
Highly recommend Claire! She looked after our house and the cat while we've been on vacation - everything worked just perfect. The house looked absolutly spotless after our return and the cat didnt even missed us :-)
ANNETTE (Mount Hawke England, Feb 2019 - 1 week 2 days)
I would recommend Claire to anyone looking for a house and pet sitter. Although I felt a bit sad leaving my pet cat for three weeks, I felt confident that she would be looked after well. Claire left my home clean and tidy, and my cat happy.
VICKI (Northampton England, Sep 2018 - 3 weeks)
Claire stayed in our flat for two weeks and looked after our home and our two ginger cats. She was an ideal house sitter - keeping us updated with pics of the cats whilst we were away and also taking good care of our home, leaving it in spotless condition. Thanks very much Claire!!
LESLEY & JESSE (Twickenham England, Jul 2018 - 1 week 6 days)
Claire is a lovely person. She took care of my cat George, and my home, for a month whilst I was away recently. As soon as I met Claire I could see what a cat lover she was, and I knew that George would be in good hands. I was able to go away and not stress at all about the house or George and Claire kept me up to date with pics, so I didn't miss him too much. Everything went very smoothly and I came home to a happy contented cat and my home just as I'd left it. I have no hesitation ... MOREClaire is a lovely person.

PAT (Warren Row England, Jun 2018 - 1 month 1 week)
We came home after almost two weeks to two very happy, very well look after cats. Claire left our home completely spotless. We would recommend Claire to anyone else looking for a responsible, friendly and accommodating housesitter. Thanks again Claire!
HOLLY (Wooburn Green England, Jun 2018 - 1 week 4 days)
Claire looked after my cat and house for over three months this spring. Everest was very happy and well looked after, and she did a great job of keeping the house clean and tidy. She also looked after a visiting dog for a night or two.
Claire was friendly, helpful, honest, punctual and reliable, and I'd be confident recommending her as a housesitter for others too.
