I hired Winston to look after my 5 year old Persian Cat, Odette, while I went on
holiday for 8 days.
Odette is a fussy little Diva and does not take to strangers well.
I was confident that she would take to Winston as I know him well and know that he loves animals.
I was pleasantly surprised whilst on holiday, when Winston sent me photos and videos of my little Odette happily eating from Winston's hand (I have not even been able to get her to do that). She would sit next to Winston and was very comfortable and happy in his company.
I highly recommend Winston.
It was also good to know that I had someone popping in and out of the house regularly whilst I was away.
When I got back I noticed that my extractor fan in the bathroom had been cleaned. And he also tidied up the pictures on my sideboard in the living room.
I am very pleased with the service and plan on using it again in a few months (Nov)

'Lord Pometheus of Staines-upon-Thames'
15 years old - July 2015 (2.5 weeks)
We could not have found somebody more suited to looking after our precious cat, Pometheus, than Winston.
Pom can be quite unique and extremely sensitive to the majority of people he meets, meaning we find it hard to go away for long for fear of how ill he can make himself.
However Winston was so understanding of pets needs and their individual natures that I would now say he is probably the only other person who Pom seems truly comfortable around!
He sent us loads of pictures and videos daily showing what a great friendship they had built up and it was so reassuring to see our home being kept well and Pom looking happy and healthy.
If anything, Pom seemed most upset on our return as he realised it was time for his new buddy to leave!
We could not recommend Winston enough and will definitely be requesting him again in the future!

Winston recently looked after our precious little Tuxedo cat, Murphy, whilst we were away on holiday and we couldn’t recommend him enough.
Our little bundle of fur took to Winston immediately and we could see from the daily updates how much he was enjoying being thoroughly spoilt by Winston.
Everything was taken care of impeccably and it was obvious with great care and affection.
Our cat was so content on our return, he barely noticed us!
Also our flat was beautifully clean and our garden looked fantastic.
We would happily ask Winston to take care of him again and would be delighted to provide a reference.

Winston has been a brilliant find - he took wonderful care of my cat and flat, which was incredibly clean when I returned.
Due to unforeseen circumstances I had to delay my return and Winston was most helpful in sorting out some of the issues that went along with that including arranging to have my medication sent to me abroad.
While I was away he sent me regular updates with pictures and videos.
I can easily give Winston the highest recommendation.

Winston looked after our house and Molly, our (deaf) cat, for a month.
He was brilliant: reliable, well organized, very good at keeping us informed and dealing with unexpected complications, and excellent with Molly.
The house was spotless when we got back.
You couldn't ask for a better house-sitter!

Winston is a fantastic cat and house sitter. He looked after my cat Spicey for two weeks and sent me wonderful photos of him while I was away. Spicey was happy and content when I got back.
My flat was spotless when I got back, he'd laundered my sheets and remade my bed and he'd even fixed my toilet seat!
I would highly recommend Winston to anyone looking for a reliable, honest and trustworthy house/pet sitter.

"...you have shown that you can take a dog like Morris and turn him into a social animal, when as we
all know, he was having a few issues with going to the park before you came along.
I greatly appreciate all the efforts you made looking after the dogs, better than
anyone else has managed to do in the past."

Two (2) cats, including one blind one.
This was our first time using the website so we weren't sure what to expect (especially since we left things to the last minute).
We went with stand-out Winston who was extremely familiar with our neighbourhood as he used to live in the area.
First time we met him, he immediately put us at ease with his sense of humour and easy-going nature.
Whilst we were away, he sent us plenty of updates, pics and videos of our cats showing all were having a fab time.
Upon our return, our flat was the cleanest we'd had it in AGES which was a very pleasant surprise.
Plus, our cats were chilled out and non-plussed that we had even returned.
All in all, Winston ticked all the boxes and then some! We would definitely utilise his services again in the future and recommend him to others without hesitation.

Winston was a great house sitter. He was a joy from the moment I met him. Bundles of enthusiasm, clean & tidy. It was an added bonus that Winston loved my two cats who he looked after them impeccably. I wouldn't hesitate to have Winston back in my home again & my cats would certainly agree. UK - Multiple sits
