Pet sitters


Hi, as we have one diabetic cat who needs injecting twice a day and two others who need feeding separately so we know who has eaten what we are looking into paying live in pet sitters so we can go away for a few days. Does anyone have an recommendations in the Cambridgeshire area or any advice on how to find good sitters? One company seems to ban their sitters from leaving the house which seem a bit draconian!

Sadly I think Scotland is a bit too far as I hear there is someone goof there......

Re: Pet sitters


Sorry CS, no-one in your area. Best thing is to get a personal recommendation. Perhaps ask if your vet surgery knows of anyone?

I'm too far away to be of any use to you CS but maybe your local vet can help, or the local CP branch ??

This one looked good to me, they are also a member of NARPS, which means you have an association to contact with any quieries etc. I think they also have a bit on their website for the public to view pet sitters and dog walkers in the area.

Hope that helps, if not then move up to Aberdeen lol
