David and Sue White, Formerly Stour Row, Dorset

Dear Lorraine,

We had to write and thank you for sitting for Kat once again. I think she was quite sad when you left and she only had us once more!

It’s been such a relief to us to have someone not only reliable and trustworthy, to leave Kat with, but who leaves both her and the house looking even better than they were when you arrived, HOW do you manage that with all the walks and games you do with our dog??

We are sorry this will be the last time because we are leaving the country. We will miss your cheery sense of humour as much as Kat will miss all the fun times and loving care you gave her over the years.

How many times has it been….at least four times a year, short or long stay, over the three years we’ve owned Kat. Wish you would come out here for a ‘holiday’, to look after her, while we visit the UK next year?

Thanks so, so much, we hope your animal-sitting business takes off for you, if we can give references to any future customer, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,

David and Sue White and of course Kat

Just a quick note to say thank you for looking after Boston & Sally over the Christmas Period, we were very grateful for your stress free service.

We would further like you to add this letter to your already great list of references for the following reasons.

We are very particular in allowing people to stay at our home and very much more particular about who we allow to look after our dogs as we like them to maintain a normal life in our absence, and if honesty prevails we treat them like children. The Paws Indoors service is professional yet not of a cold corporate standard and was tailored to our needs and expectations perfectly. Jack fully understood our needs and our slightly over the top expectations of their care. The dogs were of a fit, healthy and happy disposition on our return and the house was tidier than when we left. I would thoroughly recommend Jack & Lorraine as Dog Sitters.

Mark and Hayley.

I cannot thank the Pawsindoors team enough for the way they sat our property and beloved labrador Scrumpy. We were away for ten days and came back to having to coax him away from Jack. The team are firm friends now and are certainly on our Christmas card list. Our garden was a joy with the grass cut and borders weeded and edged made us feel like we only played at it. Well done team and we would referee you any time. You have our full support, keep up the good work and we will see you again very soon. Many Thanks, Laura and Andrew.

Many Thanks for pet sitting for us for William and Saffy and the fish. We were pleased to arrive home and find that all the animals were happy, clean and well fed.

We will not hesitate to use your services again and will happily recommend yourselves to our friends!

Look forward to seeing you in the future

Mr and Mrs Robertson, Stalbridge, Dorset

We have used Pawsindoors for House and Pet sitting on a number of occasions since late 2008. They havelooked after our 4 cats, 2 dogs and our parrot.

They have always been punctual, friendly and able to cope with the range of tasks needed to ensure the smooth running of our home.

We therefore have no hesitation in recommending their services to others.

Mrs Sanderson, Sixpenny Handley, Dorset

Thank you so much for looking after our three dogs a couple of weeks ago. Each time you have worked for us we have returned to find content dogs and a house that was significantly tidier than when we had left it. This last break that we had came at a difficult time due to family circumstances and it was reassuring to know that it was you who could step in and take care of the household.

Whenever we need outside help, you are the first choice for pet/house sitting.

Look forward to seeing you again.

Best wishes

Mr & Mrs Sanderson

P.S Please use this as a reference should you need one. We can also be listed as a contact and the telephone number given out.

My elderly housebound cats were well looked after while I was away.

Mrs P. Farina, Eastbourne, East Sussex

I don't have any animals, but I did need my home looking after while I was on holiday. Lorraine looked after my house for two weeks and with Jack's help, she painted my living room, dining room and kitchen to a very high standard. I had new shelves fitted also. My grass was cut and flower beds watered and looked after. It was a pleasure to come home, and I will definitely be using Pawsindoors again. My holiday was more relaxed knowing my home was being cared for and my decorating done.

Tanya Tissington, Blandford Forum, Dorset

I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you so much for taking excellent care of our four house rabbits whilst we were away on holiday. It has taken a long time to find someone I feel that I can trust to look after them the way I would, but I now know that I have found someone that it is completely dependable and cares for animals a great deal and will happily recommend you to anyone seeking the service you offer.

It was such a pleasure to come back and find the hutch clean with new bedding, litter trays clean and not a mess in sight - something I normally have to do when I return and not a chore a relish after a long flight, so an extra special thank you on that point.

I certainly will not hesitate to call you again when we go away in the summer and know that I can go away and not worry about my little bunnies.

Once again thank you and please feel free to use this email as a reference if required.

With best wishes, Tanya Tissington
