Testimonials
Experienced, reliable and efficient sitters!
Ken and Jenny were the ideal sitters for us as first time MindMyHouse house owners. They looked after our cats and hens very well, including administering a pill to a cat on a daily basis. They coped well with a couple of things that arose during their stay and kept us informed to keep us reassured that all was well. They left the house clean and tidy and were happy to wait in the house until we were back in case of any delays. I have no hesitation in recommending them as excellent, reliable and efficient house sitters!
