I have known Lesley for approximately 3 years.  With her previous extensive experience of working with animals, as well as her own long history of pet ownership, I struggle to think of anyone better qualified to provide a professional and complete pet care service.  I would have absolutely no hesitation if recommending her to anyone looking for a totally trustworthy, reliable and honest petsitter/carer.

Lesley has indeed looked after my own much loved rescue dog and cat in our home and I went on holiday completely reassured in the knowledge that they, and indeed my house, were in extremely safe hands.  I have never used a petsitter before as I have always been extremely nervous of leaving my pets and my home in the care of anyone other than family so this in itself is a sincere endorsement of the trust I have in Lesley and her abilities.

It is a pleasure to provide a reference for Lesley. 

We first met when I moved in next door to her home twelve years ago.  I have a cat of my own and Lesley is as comfortable with him as she is with her own pets.  In the time I have known her, I have found Lesley to be extremely reliable and trustworthy.  She is also very accommodating with changes in schedule and always returns my phone calls promptly.

I have found Lesley to be flexible, mature, patient, calm and energetic, all skills necessary for looking after animals.  I would feel completely relaxed and comfortable leaving my pets in Lesley's care.  I feel she truly cares about animals and is genuinely concerned about their well-being and would highly recommend her as a petsitter.

During absences from home, Lesley has also looked after my house. 

I am completely confident in her ability.

Lesley has looked after my pets on numerous occasions and I have always felt happy that they are in good hands.  She is reliable and trustworthy at all times and I would happily leave her to make the right decisions about any of my animals.

Lesley has cared for both my rabbits and my two golden retriever dogs going out of her way to care for them and spend precious time socialising with them whilst we have been away.  It is very easy for dogs in particular to become stressed when their owners are away but upon returning home they are  always content and well looked after.

On one occasion we had gone out for a long day trip and had been delayed quite a few hours.  I rang Lesley to tell her what had happened and without hesitation she drove back to the house in order to make sure the dogs were let out and comfortable, this despite an un-planned 45minute  round-trip to do so.  I was extremely anxious about their well-being but Lesley phoned me to reassure me that all was well.
