It is well-known how animals affect our psyche. The benefits of swimming with dolphins or the positive effect horses may have on disabled or mentally impaired persons will be familiar examples for most of us. Similarly, during the lockdowns and our obligatory “house arrests” it has been reported the domestic pets found in more than [...]
We were absolutely delighted with Colleen. She kept us updated regularly about the cats, her progress in Worcester, and amongst our friends at the Cathedral, and went above and beyond in keeping us in the loop on the many pre-Christmas Amazon deliveries! She looked after the house and our two aged cats very well and [...]

Hi Dave, Many thanks for your kind gesture re the towels; it is very much appreciated. House is spotless - no complaints whatsoever. Team [...]

Of course, that’s choosing the correct person to take care of your property and pet(s) while you're away from your home. There are hordes of house [...]
Many thanks for arranging two successful home and pet sits at such short notice in July and August and for bearing with me while I kept changing dates! We were able to leave our three cats (in particular an old and sickly one) at home safe in the knowledge that they would be well cared [...]
