Gemma & Simon, Staffordshire, UK (January – February 2016)

“From the outset Mark and Maria have been a pleasure to deal with and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone. We have five cats which is quite a handful for anyone, but they went above and beyond to look after our little ones and made sure they were happy, settled and stimulated with play whilst we were away for six weeks.

We came back to a clean and well cared for house, with our cats all very happy. In fact, our most nervous boy Fergus has completely changed in personality – before he was timid and clingy, and now he comes for fussing, is playful and even likes to sunbathe on the patio which was unheard of before! It’s clear Maria has spent many hours giving him the confidence boost he needed and we are so grateful.

We also have another cat who needs medication every few days and this was handled brilliantly too. They kept good communication with us at all times, and sent updates with photos whilst we were away which was great for our peace of mind. Having never had house-sitters before, we had obvious reservations, but if you are considering Mark and Maria then relax, because your home and your cats are in very safe hands. Highly recommended and wouldn’t hesitate to have them back again – so thankful for their efforts.”
