'We recently used Kim’s cat sitting service for our 4 month old Ragdoll kitten, Sulley. We had a holiday booked before we got our kitten and were extremely nervous about leaving him as he was so little. After reading testimonials and meeting Kim we decided to book her services. With every visit, Kim sent us daily videos and photos alongside text messages updating us on Sulley and how he was coping, etc. Kim also watered our garden which was a God send as the recent heatwave was in full force. With Such regular contact and lovely photos we knew Sulley was in good hands. Kim went above and beyond to ensure that both us, as owners, and Sulley were at ease being apart. We will definitely use Kim’s services again as she looked after our kitten with such attentive care and attention.'
Gemma and Sulley - Ware'Kim is a kind and conscientious cat minder who cares for the animals as if they were her own. She provides regular updates and photos to minimise missing your furry babies. In addition to this, Kim is a trustworthy person to have holding your keys and keeping an eye on your house in your absence. I found Kim to be willing to go above and beyond to help during our vacation and it was one less worry to know our house and cats Lodger, Daisy & Mittens were safe.'
Amanda - Ware'We have used Kim recently to care for our two cats Ruby and Amber, whilst were were away. In the past we have used a wonderful local cattery and been very happy with the care our cats received. However, now that they are older and with a degree of trepidation, we thought we might try a cat sitter instead. Any uncertainty vanished as soon as we met Kim for her introductory visit! Kim is very professional, well organised, practical and trustworthy. Her attention to detail is first class and most importantly she cares deeply for and understands the needs of the cats. Cat sitting is not just a job for Kim; it's a labour of love. Kim also looks after the house which is an added bonus when you are away - Kim was able to deal with a minor problem calmly and efficiently. In short, Kim is a very special lady; we are so lucky to have found her, Ruby and Amber are very happy too!'
Angela & John - Ware'We are extremely grateful to have found Kim as a sitter for our cats, Rex and Ralph. Since getting our kittens we had never been away from them overnight, so were naturally nervous about how they would react. Kim has been fantastic through the process from start to finish. We had a thorough intro meeting to get to know all about Kim, her service, meet the cats and understand key things about the property and caring for Rex and Ralph. It was refreshing the amount of detail we went through, which made us feel comfortable with Kim looking after our boys and house. It was also clear how much Kim cares about animals and was quick to build a bond with the cats. Whilst away we kept in touch via WhatsApp which worked really well. Kim provided us updates from every visit including photos and videos of our boys, which was really comforting. Most importantly, we came home to happy cats! We look forward to going away in the future knowing our boys are in safe hands and have no hesitation recommending Kim and her services.'
Harry & Sophie - Ware'We first started to use Kim after a recommendation from our neighbours. Our cat had always previously gone into a cattery and whilst she was looked after very well there, she definitely didn't enjoy her visits! Having Kim come into our house and look after Ruby has made such a difference. Ruby now gets to stay in her own home with comfort of her own things and surroundings. Kim clearly adores cats and we love the photos and videos she sends us whilst we are away. It's great to have that peace of mind that Ruby is being looked after so well and that our house is also being looked after! Kim is very thorough, efficient, friendly and kind and we would not hesitate to highly recommend her. We definitely will not be going back to the cattery!'
Karen & Mark - Hertford‘Kim has been comfort visiting our dog for a few months now and we are beyond happy with the care and time she gives to our dog Mabel. Kim goes above and beyond what is required of her and we know our Mabel enjoys every minute she spends with Kim. Kim is extremely reliable, and we really appreciate the regular text updates, photos and videos she sends when spending time with our girl. We trust Kim to look after and care for Mabel as we would ourselves, we also trust Kim in our home. We honestly couldn’t ask anything more of her.’
Dani & Lewis - Ware‘I was delighted with Kim’s service. She pays meticulous attention to detail and leaves nothing un noted. Being a very conscientious cat Fosterer, it is important I felt the cat in my charge had the same care and attention I would give it and Kim fully delivered, additionally sending videos and pictures on each of her visits. Kim clearly loves animals and treats each one in her care as her own. Kim is also exceptional with her business manner and cross infection hygiene procedures too. I would highly recommend Kim.’
Eleanor - Hertford (Cat Fosterer, Cat Whiskers)'We all know how attached we are to our little fur babies and the need for someone caring and kind to look after them should the case arise. I cannot praise Kim enough for looking after my beautiful cat Athos for a week, whilst I took a much needed holiday. I was a little anxious as he has had me at home constantly for the last 18 months, but Kim was reassuring. She went above and beyond keeping me fully updated every day on his progress with plenty of photos and videos. I came back to a very relaxed and happy fur baby. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kim. Thank you Kim!'
Rebekah - Ware'Kim ensured that she had met our pets ahead of looking after them and was very thorough in checking all relevant information which gave me peace of mind. Kim looked after my 2 cats and mouse as if they were hers and shared lovely photos of all 3. The cats obviously loved her as they were not grumpy when we returned home. I will certainly use Kim again in the future and would recommend her to anyone wanting a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank You Kim!!'
Rachel - Hertford'My neighbour recommend Kim to me. Kim looked after Marmite, my 18 month Tortie rescue cat for a week recently. Unfortunately Marmite had a bad skin reaction to the flea drops I gave her just before leaving. Kim noticed straight away that she was not well and raised her concern with the vet. This resulted in Kim having to take Marmite twice to the vet's in the week whilst I was away, keeping me updated on the situation with Marmite's condition and treatment. Kim took great care of Marmite, regularly bathing her wound and generally giving her lots of love and attention. Kim’s service was way beyond what I expected and I would highly recommend her - she clearly loves animals and is very professional in her all round approach. Happy to say Marmite has now fully recovered and is back to her normal self. I have since booked Kim to look after Marmite again when I am next away.'
Mary - Ware'We are so pleased we found Kim! We felt totally safe leaving our cat Fluffy in her hands after her first visit to meet us. Kim clearly loves her work. We loved the daily photos and updates on Fluffy, especially the selfies! We have used a couple of other sitters before but they were always in and out in moments. Kim really took the time to care for and entertain Fluffy on every single visit, which is so important when your beloved cat is home alone. She also kindly offered to deal with curtains, lights, bins and watering plants if we wanted. She could not have been more professional, helpful and friendly. We could not be happier and thoroughly recommend her.'
Nicola & Warren - Ware'We have used Kim to look after our twin sister British Blue cats for a while now. She is not only professional in every aspect of her work, but obviously loves animals and this is our priority. Kim goes over and above (sorting out our lighting when the whole house tripped in our absence) with her work ethic and we are confident our fur babies are in the best hands when we go away. I wouldn't have any worries booking Kim for future visits. Thank you Kim!'
Debbie & Roger - Hertford'After feeling slightly disappointed with the quality of care our cat had received at boarding catteries, we decided to search for a local cat sitter that could offer Lola a more personal service in the comfort of familiar home surroundings. We were fortunate to be recommended Kim by a friend and after reading her glowing testimonials we decided it would be well worth giving her a call to arrange an initial consultation. At the consultation we immediately could see how caring Kim is and her passion for the work she does. Kim took time to introduce herself to us and our cat, she recorded important information to prepare for any future visits including our cat's needs, preferences and emergency contact details, putting us at ease about handing over responsibility of our property and pet. Throughout our holiday we received daily messages and photos, updating us on our cat's activities and notifying us of any concerns. We returned to a happy, relaxed cat and with our property in good order. For that reason we would have no hesitation in recommending Kim and will be very happy to use her services again soon.'
Faye & Joe - Ware'Kim, from Fur Baby Minder cat sat for us whilst we were away for over a week. The service provided is extremely professional, with Kim’s animal centric approach helping us to be at ease whilst away. The pre-booking meeting was extremely useful and helped put our minds at ease with leaving Marley in Kim’s care. During our trip, we loved receiving updates and Kim’s personal but professional approach really made all the difference. We would highly recommend Kim and the services of Fur Baby Minder. We will be using this service again.'
Chris & Deanne - Stanstead Abbotts'After searching extensively for a cat sitter in my area, I came across Kim’s website. It stood out immediately, Kim came across as very organised and professional and straight away I had a very good feeling that this was someone I could trust. That feeling proved to be true as soon as I made contact with Kim and she came over for the assessment visit. Kim was extremely thorough and gathered every detail necessary to care for and look after my two cats while I was on holiday. With such attention to detail it was clear that she loves her work and takes a pride in doing her job to a high standard. Kim is a lovely lady with a quiet calm manner that I knew would suit my cats. One of them is especially nervous with new people, but he did not run off and hide as usual, I took this to be a good sign! After that initial visit I was completely confident that my cats would be getting the highest standard of care. While I was away Kim went above and beyond expected pet sitting duties looking after my cats. Not just to put down food and empty litter trays but taking time to play with them, groom them and most importantly bond with them. It was lovely to receive the daily photos, videos and updates and to see that my cats were receiving fun and caring visits. They were obviously two happy and contented kitties and this gave me great peace of mind. Kim is an extremely caring person with a natural affinity for animals and I would thoroughly recommend her without hesitation to other pet owners. I feel lucky to have found such a treasure and would trust my fur babies’ care to her again in the future. Thank you Kim X'
Sarah Charville - Hertford'We bought our gorgeous Springer-Doodle this August and Kim started visiting Jasper in September. Kim is incredibly conscientious and really will spend all of her time with your gorgeous fur baby, we cannot fault the service that she provides! She sends regular updates and beautiful photos of her time with our pup! Jasper clearly loves his time with Kim and we are reassured that he has such a wonderful pet sitter taking care of him!' ðŸ¾ðŸ¶ðŸ’•ðŸ˜Š
Jenny & Glenn McLaird'We cannot recommend Kim highly enough. Our cat Millie is a very nervous EX Blue Cross rescue we have recently re-homed. Millie is a mature lady (12 years old) with some rather anti-social habits. Kim has worked wonders with her. Bearing in mind Millie would not let us anywhere near her for months, Kim has built up a lovely relationship with her based on mutual trust. Millie now plays games and allows Kim to stroke her, which is very nice to see - Kim sent us daily photographic reports and messages reassuring us of Millie's health and welfare. There is clearly a developing affectionate and respectful relationship between our cat and Kim, that is due to Kim's exceptional attention to Millie's needs. Our cat always looks content in the photos when being looked after by Kim and we feel completely confident that our cat is getting the highest standard of care. Kim has been thoroughly professional in her approach to her visits to our home to feed and share social time with Millie. We provided Kim with a detailed portfolio of information about our home and she did a fantastic job of looking after our home, garden and houseplants during an extended hot dry spell of weather. Kim gained our trust and we would encourage anyone who wants to have the best care for their pet and home to contact Kim at Fur Baby Minder'.
Barbara & Perry - Ware'Kim has been a simply wonderful, going well above and beyond any normal duties and what you might expect of a regular pet sitter. She has cared for our two (very love and affection-needy!) Burmese cats Coco & Tiffin twice now. Both times she has sent us daily photos, updates, feeding info and general feedback on how they are doing. She has also gone to many other lengths, such as closing curtains, turning lights on and off, watering plants, talking rubbish out, leaving bread and milk out to defrost on the final day and more. She even spotted an area of carpet upstairs where our cats had decided to scratch after we’d just moved in and gone on holiday, and not yet being fully familiar with the cats’ habits in our new house, we hadn’t noticed they’d started to aim for this area of carpet. Kim sent us photos of the issue and even went to the considerable length of ordering a cat scratching post paying upfront with her own money, from a well-known online pet store for next-day delivery, built it and put it in place so the cats stopped using the carpet instead and then kept us fully informed afterwards. We considered this to be well beyond what other sitters would have done and were extremely grateful to Kim for her professionalism in this situation – she saved a big piece of carpet!
Kim clearly adores animals and sparked an immediate connection with our family and our two Burmese, who adored her. I felt very comfortable leaving them under her care and knew they were in the hands of someone who would notice even minor problems and inform us - or take a vet’s advice as necessary if we could not be contacted. She was extremely thorough in her initial visit in terms of collating information regarding vaccination details, wormers, flea medication, food habits etc and clearly loves her work and takes great pride in doing her job to a very high standard. I know my cats are getting a fun, playful and very caring visit each time, but most importantly Kim is highly knowledgeable and experienced. I would not hesitate to recommend her or book her again in the future'.
Louise & Miles - Benjeo'Thank you Kim for taking such good care of Millie on her walks for the last three weeks. She looked forward to seeing you every day and I felt totally confident letting her go with you. I will definitely recommend you to everyone I know'.
Eve - Ware'I started my journey with Kim just over a month ago when I got my gorgeous Golden Retriever puppy, Koa, during my half term break. I’m a full-time teacher and work long hours so I was concerned about how I would manage my time after the term restarted. My partner is self-employed but also works incredibly hard and has sporadic hours which complicates establishing a fixed routine for looking after the pup. We therefore turned to the internet to try and find someone who would be loving, personable, experienced with puppies and able to provide 2 comfort visits a day. Koa wasn’t fully vaccinated at the time and would need a month of home visits before we could look at dog walking. Kim’s website caught our eye with the lovely pictures but most of all, the glowing reviews by her existing clients. She met me at short notice that weekend for a couple of hours chat during time we clicked straight away and were already sharing stories and building a friendship. Kim started the following day and both Phil and I were blown away by the effort she puts in with Koa and to ensure that we are always kept in the loop about what they’re getting up to during their sessions! Kim sends regular Whatsapp messages and photos throughout each visit which reassure us that she’s arrived and that Koa has company, has done her toilet in the right places and is playing happily with her toys. Kim lets us know when she’s settling Koa back down and when she is leaving. It’s the loveliest thing to get little updates about my girl during a hard-working day and to know that, even though Phil and I are not there with her, she’s with her new friend and having a good play session. Thanks to Kim’s energy and attentiveness with Koa twice a day, we are free from guilt of leaving her and come home to a happy and chilled out puppy who has clearly had a great day. Kim’s incredibly flexible with her timings and does everything she can to accommodate our needs. She also goes above and beyond her role to help us out wherever she can. For example, she ensures the house bunnies are safe, get a little head rub, and have fresh water on her visits. I regularly come home to beautifully folded clean washing that has been taken down from the line if the rain’s coming, and once she even drove me to the doctors surgery after her play session with Koa when I was too unwell to get there myself!Kim has truly become a friend to us all and I could not sing her praises more. She has started taking Koa for fun walks along the river now that she’s growing up and I know that Koa is always safe in her hands. Thank you, Kim for all that you do to help our happy little family'.
Nell & Phillip - Ware'We’ve tried a number of cat sitters in the past and Kim is definitely one of a kind. Not only does she care for your animals as if they were her own, she also does added extras like putting bins out and turning lights on at night etc. Kim is such a kind and caring lady, now we’ve found her we won’t be using anyone else!'
Laura - Hertford'I would like to thank you so very much for the wonderful care you provided for my Buddy while I was away recently. I am so glad I found you. From the first time we met I knew you would love my Buddy as much as I do. I was not wrong. My boy was so happy and relaxed on my return. The regular updates were a comfort and you even loaned us a radio to ease Buddy (Classics FM) while he was home alone. I would highly recommend your service to anyone needing a true animal lover to care for their pets. I won’t be using anyone else in the future. Thanks again and we look forward to your next visit'.
Liz - Hertford (Owner of Buddy the Burmese)'Kim recently looked after my cat Max while I was away for 2 weeks. I wasn't sure how he would cope with being on his own, as he'd only ever been in boarding before and is also a very nervous cat with anyone he doesn't know well, but Kim was wonderful with Max and I was delighted (and astonished!) how quickly he bonded with her. The daily videos and photos and notes were very reassuring and it was great to see how well Max was doing. Kim gave him a lot of attention, including playtime and grooming, and he was clearly very happy and relaxed with her. Max was in great condition when I returned, and was more chilled out than I've ever seen him after I've been away. Kim is very professional and thorough, and makes sure that she has all details needed if anything went wrong while I was away. She is fantastic with cats (even one as nervy as Max), and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. I will definitely continue to have Kim look after Max any time I am away.'
Melissa - Ware'Kim recently looked after our cat who is 8 weeks away from being 20 years old. I was very nervous about leaving her but as soon as Kim came for the initial visit, my mind was put at rest. It’s very obvious that she genuinely cares about the animals in her charge. She bonded with Micia right away and she put my mind at rest with photos, videos and updates on every visit. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kim to look after your pet and feel lucky to have found such a genuinely great lady.'
Judi - Ware'Having used other cat sitters in the area, we have to say Kim is by far the most attentive and customer focused. What we got from Kim was a real sense that she understood not only what Bert would need but what we needed as well. Bert seemed to like her instantly, something we've not often found with any newcomers. Kim also gave us great timely updates, including photos and videos so we knew Bert was receiving excellent care. When we returned home, he also seemed more relaxed than he has been on previous occasions when we've gone away. Another sign he was well looked after. We will definitely use Kim again and recommend her to look after your cat(s).'
Nicola & Alan - Hertford'We would recommend Kim to care for your beloved pet in a heartbeat. Kim has cared for our little pup Teddy since we brought him home in January 2019. As a tiny puppy, she cared for his toilet training, his first experiences being groomed, playing with his toys and rewarding good behaviour with treats. He’s now much bigger and Kim is fantastic in keeping playtime energetic and rewarding for him. We love receiving photos and videos from their playtime together whilst at work speaking of which Kim’s communication is second to none, always updating us on her estimated arrival time and keeping us posted on how Teddy is. This is such a lovely extra that not many minders seem to offer. We’re delighted to have met Kim, she’s such a lovely lady and we trust her implicitly with Teddy’s care and cannot imagine finding anyone better to care for our dear dog.'
Katrina & Sam - Ware'We were delighted with the cat sitting Kim provided for us over the Christmas period. Our cat ‘Jessie’ is elderly with some ongoing medical conditions, but this did not faze Kim at all. After our initial meeting I was reassured Kim was someone whom we could trust to look after Jessie to a high standard and be alert to any changes in her health. In addition to the standard duties, Kim made sure her visits were also interactive with Jessie whether playing games or giving her all the fuss and attention that she so enjoys. We loved that Kim sent photos and videos during each visit and updates on how well she was eating, drinking, toiletry habits etc. which gave us the peace of mind Jessie was well whilst we were away. We have no hesitation in recommending Kim’s services.'
Sarah & Adam - Hoddesdon‘Kim cared for our recently adopted rescue cat Monty, whilst we were away over Christmas. Kim visited Monty twice a day including on Christmas Day itself and spent time playing with him as well as feeding him and emptying his litter tray. We loved the updates, photos and videos that Kim sent which showed a very happy cat! Kim took great trouble to make the house look occupied, opening and closing curtains and putting lights on, which we found very reassuring after hearing of a spate of local break-ins. Kim is a very professional, organised and caring person and we feel very lucky to have found her. Monty was very contented and Kim even very kindly left him a Christmas present! We have already booked Kim for our next holiday and would highly recommend her to other kitty owners. Thank you Kim!'
Lucy & Justin - Ware'Kim looked after our one year old cat Neko for four weeks whilst we were on honeymoon. We could really enjoy our time away, as we knew that our fur baby was being cared for so well. Kim visited twice a day and sent us photos and videos of Neko playing and looking so happy, along with text updates on EVERY visit. Whilst we were away, Neko ate a few leaves from one of our plants which can potentially be toxic for cats. Kim swiftly got in contact with us and took her to the vets to ensure she was okay. Like most cats Neko hates going to the vets, so Kim spent extra time out of her day to make sure she was settled again when back at home. The plant was confiscated. We really appreciated the love and care Kim gave to Neko and meant we never had to worry, especially with us being away for so long. We will always use Kim's cat sitting service when we are away from now on.'
Emily & Mark - Ware'Kim has been an absolute super star looking after our 4 kitties whilst my husband and I were on our honeymoon. She is extremely conscientious and really went above and beyond and clearly she really cares about animals. We were able to relax knowing our fur babies were in good hands and the daily texts, videos and photos gave us complete peace of mind. I have no hesitation in recommending the lovely Kim and we have already booked her for our next trip away!'
Emma & David - Hertford'A couple of months ago I was searching online for a professional and reliable cat sitter. As soon as I came across Kim's website I felt she would be the perfect safe keeper of our two special kitty boys. We have two rescued cat boys with special needs, they are indoor cats, both having their own strong personalities. Nemo is a three legged brown tabby, quite aloof and unpredictable with people and Little Prince is a very shy black beauty with Cerebellar Ataxia - he is unable to coordinate balance on his four paws - but remarkably is a great climber!...loving his food along with lots of cuddles. After making contact with Kim she came over for the assessment visit and as soon as we met, all I had felt about her through the website was strongly confirmed. Kim is a really beautiful person inside and outside so naturally full of love and compassion and so attentive to every single detail, even the smallest one. She took careful note of all the habits of the two boys, including their different food requirements and 'rules of the house' safety measures for the boys and the house itself. Kim is so professional and conscientious with her role, the week before starting her cat sitting with the boys, she made an additional voluntary trip over to double check the electronic entrance gate and strict parking regulations where we live. Last weekend Kim had her first cover for the boys while we were on a long weekend away in Cornwall, and exceeded our expectations. She was fantastic, sending us updates and videos and lovely selfies with the two boys after every visit. We could see from the videos both Nemo and Little Prince were so comfortable with her, not shy nor unsure, really at ease. She played with them all the time, gaining their trust and love. This is because they felt she is a pure and kind animal lover. Kim took perfect care of them, and I have to admit Little Prince is quite messy with the litter tray, but we arrived home to no mess at all! Kim had made sure it was spotless. I am an anxious person, but this time as Kim was looking after our boys I could finally relax and enjoy our break away with no worries. We have been so lucky in finding Kim - I prefer to refer to her as our adorable boys Guardian Angel. Thank you Kim with all our hearts ♥ï¸ the boys are looking forward to your next visits.'
Aless & Ryan - Hertford'Kim has been such a great find! Our Teacup Chihuahua Tiana was new to us in September 2018, a very timid 3 year old. We are her third owners in a year, so we had our work cut out to ensure she felt loved and comfortable even when we were at work. Kim is a very warm and caring person whom we connected with straight away. She's worked hard gaining Tiana's trust and they are now great friends. We rely on Kim for her comfort visits twice a week and we find her time with Tiana invaluable to us, knowing our little dog is happy and has company during the days we cannot be around. We would recommend Kim and her services to anyone who's fur baby needs some comfort, feeding or walking......thanks Kim, to us you are amazing!'
Ema & Nick - Hoddesdon'Kim is such a great help - ensuring she not only feeds, but spends time with our cats Boris and Luna whilst we are away. Her updates are fantastic and we would highly recommend Kim to other cat lovers.'
Adelle & Patrick - Hertford'We were delighted with the care and attention our two cats Alan and Coco received from Kim during our 6-day holiday in Cornwall. She sent us videos and text updates everyday allowing us to enjoy our holiday in the comforting knowledge that our pets were being cared for and loved in their own home. When one of our cats limped in through the cat-flap one morning Kim's reaction was very reasuring. She called the emergency vet at the local practice and arranged immediate care. She reacted in exactly the same way that we would have ourselves and following the diagnosis of a badly sprained front paw, Kim was on hand every day to administer the prescribed drugs and to take extra care of our wounded soldier. We are very grateful to Kim for her professionalism and care and we would have no hesitation in recommending Fur Baby Minder to other loving pet owners.'
Rob & Polly - Hoddesdon'Kim has been looking after our little ‘Jug’ Gurgi three times a week for the last few months (and on-going) as we are both teachers and needed to make sure Gurgi is OK during the day. We are so happy that we found Kim. It has been very easy to set up regular comfort visits and make payment by bank transfer. We both receive photos and videos of our little boy playing and having a great time with Kim via WhatsApp, which really brightens our working day! Our initial consultation made us feel confident that the whole process would be straightforward and we were also given lots of useful advice. Kim’s comfort visits have really helped Gurgi with any separation anxiety and we know he really enjoys his three hours a week with Kim. It is very simple to stay in touch and to make any alterations should they arise or to ask any questions. We would recommend Fur Baby Minder to anyone who is looking for a kind, caring visitor to look after their furry friend during long spells at home alone.'
Lee & Natasha - Hoddesdon'We were thrilled with the service we received from Kim. She went totally above and beyond to care for our two kittens Archie & Lily and cat Cosmo whilst we went away. The daily videos and updates were lovely and put our minds at rest. I would recommend Kim without reservation – she is an extremely caring person with a natural affinity for animals. Thank you so much, Kim! x'
Joanna - Hertford'We feel super lucky to have found Kim. She is doing a great job with our Cockerpoo pup Barney and it's such a relief to know she's there to look after him when we can't be around. Her attention to detail is second to none and she is so caring and thoughtful. I love the 'pup dates' she sends me when I'm at work (videos, photos and messages about how Barney is getting on). Would definitely recommend Kim to anyone looking for the personal touch and someone who will go the extra mile for you and your furry friend.'
Emily - Hertford'Kim was wonderful with my fur baby Mr T. From the moment she met him, I could see that she had an affinity and love for cats and his positive reaction to her (along with her preparedness and professionalism) reassured me that Kim was the right person to care for him in my absence. Kim sent me texts and videos while I was away which were a source of reassurance and amusement and also gave Mr T his medicine added to his food. She left the house in an immaculate state, his litter tray and food bowls were spotless. She even picked up my post. I came home to a happy contented cat who hardly seemed to have missed me at all! I will definitely be using Kim again when I take my next trip, hopefully very soon!.'
Jenny - Ware'Thank you so much Kim for looking after our Daisy whilst we were away. Your daily videos and updates really put our minds at ease as Daisy is a very nervous cat - but she came and sat downstairs with you much to our surprise! You are so conscientious and caring, I had no qualms about leaving Daisy in your care and will do so again in the near future.'
Lisa & Mark - Ware'Kim from Fur Baby Minder looked after Oscar my Bengal cat over the August bank holiday weekend. From our initial meeting Kim is clearly super organised and a real animal lover. She came prepared with all the necessary forms to ensure she had all the details on how Oscar should be looked after as well as those important things like insurance, police checks and references. She quickly bonded with Oscar and had him playing with her as well as with Theo my dog who was jealous of the attention Oscar was getting! Once we went away Kim sent us an update plus photos and videos of Oscar after every visit and she certainly spent a lot of time entertaining, playing and fussing him which he really loved as well as the practical things like feeding and cleaning his litter tray. We came home to a very happy and contented cat. I would not hesitate to recommend Kim as a pet sitter and feel confident that my pets and my house are in expert and safe hands with Kim.'
Caroline - Ware'We had Kim come to look after our cats Fudge, Casper and Oreo for a few days while we were away. Kim is 100% trustworthy and put our minds at ease with her twice daily updates along with photos/videos. Kim is a very kind and caring person, looking after our cats as well as if they were her own.'
Anthony & Kelly - Hoddesdon'Kim did a wonderful job looking after our cat Carly whilst we were away. Before we even went away Kim came round and explained everything about how she works. When away, we received regular updates, photos and videos. When we arrived home Carly was so relaxed and happy and Kim had cleaned the litter tray, topped up Carly's food and water and even put our post in the kitchen. Kim is the sweetest, nicest person whom we trust 100% and will be using again, again and again! Highly recommend this wonderful lady.'
Alison & Simon - Ware'I can honestly say Kim is one of the nicest ladies I have met. There are not many people I trust my dog with, but I am able to completely depend on Kim. She is very kind and great with my Beagle Bruno, always willing to go out of her way to help such as walking him very early mornings during the recent extreme hot weather. Kim also tries her best to arrive as close to the agreed time as possible. I can highly recommend the service she provides.'
Maggie - Waterford'Kim looked after our two cats Knuckles and Beauty when we went away for a week's holiday recently. We found Kim to be extremely professional, very warm, kind and caring - every eventuality was covered. Kim went the extra mile to ensure that our cats were happy - not only did she feed them, but she also spent time to play and get to know their different characters, making them feel more at ease in our absence. Kim also kept us updated by text and email after every visit including sending us photos and videos, which made us feel very reassured our cats were happy and in turn meant we could enjoy our holiday without worrying about them. We would thoroughly recommend Kim if anyone should need to use a pet sitter - the service Kim offers is first class.'
Dawn & Derek - Ware'Due to various health problems, I needed someone to walk my dog and am so glad I found Fur Baby Minder on the internet. From the first visit I knew Kim was the right person, she is very caring and trustworthy, my dog Purdy loves her. I have no hesitation in recommending Fur Baby Minder, in fact I have already recommended Kim to family and friends.'
Barbara - Ware'Thank you Kim for looking after Archie and Elsie so beautifully and with such care and attention. I have returned from my break to two happy cats, a watered garden and everything just 'tickety-boo!'
Trudi - Hertford Heath'After a leaflet coming through our door, we decided to engage Fur Baby Minder to look after our cat Theo for a week whilst we were on holiday. From the very outset Kim was the perfect mix of personal and professional, being totally thorough in understanding our house, Theo and all the particular needs and foibles that come with the individual characteristics of a pet. The process put our minds at ease, meaning we both felt we could relax and enjoy our holiday so much more knowing that Theo was in such good hands. This feeling was continually reassured by the daily message, photo and video updates. The twice daily visits Kim provided were tailored to meet our/Theo's needs and delivered with a real sense of care and compassion. Even though Theo was pleased to see us when we got home, we're pretty sure he misses Kim a little. They formed a genuine bond as Kim spent time with him on his terms; feeding, brushing, playing, fussing.....We will definitely be using Fur Baby Minder again and wouldn't hesitate to wholly recommend Kim and her services.'
Ian & Gemma - Ware'We had Kim look after our cat Milly for four days in May. Before we went away Kim came round and went through a thorough checklist so we felt confident that all would be well. Kim is clearly an animal lover and sent us lots of detailed updates and photos while we were away. She exceeded our expectations and Milly quickly warmed to her too.'
Tim & Sarah - Ware'My introduction to Fur Baby Minder came after I received a leaflet advertising the services through my door. I contacted Kim, arranged to meet up as I wanted my cat fed whilst I was away. Kim came to my house and met both myself and my cat Boris, what a lovely friendly lady Kim is and it is completely apparent that she is extremely dedicated to her work and her love for animals. Kim spent about an hour with us explaining what services she offered etc, we then went through some paperwork where Kim asked lots of questions about Boris and my home e.g. which vets, emergency contact, where the fuse box was, water tap etc....things that never even occurred to me that could be important....she also showed me proof of her police checks and references. With all that in place and completed we arranged to meet the day before I went away to collect the key and meet Boris again. I went on holiday and Kim's duties began! The first day Kim came to feed Boris at 8am....after feeding him she spent approx 20 minutes with him, taking photos and petting him....she then sent the photos to me with a little explanation of how he was that day. This happened every morning and I looked forward to the daily updates....each time with photos and comments!! Bless her, I had only asked for a 'pop in' service but she went above and beyond that, removing any food waste etc. I cannot recommend Fur Baby Minder highly enough....Kim is extremely professional and the most kind caring person you would ever wish to meet....Boris thought so too! She completely took the stress out of leaving my pet at home and the daily updates were invaluable. We will definitely be booking Kim again.'
Sharon - Ware'Kim has been looking after our four dogs (Greyhounds) for several weeks now and they love it. Whilst they are in Kim's care she spends the time playing with them, grooming them and giving them shoulder and chest massages - which they love. When we get home, they are all relaxed and content. My partner worked from home one day and he noticed that they were waiting at the door for Kim to arrive at her usual time! Kim is extremely kind and also very professional. She has done a fantastic job for our dogs and I don't know what we would do without her.'
Laura & Adam - Ware'Kim looked after my two cats over the Easter break - a total of four days. My little girl 'Smeagol' is 13 and my baby boy 'Stuart' is just over a year old - so Kim had both ends of the spectrum to deal with! One is very aloof and the other is quite skittish and nervous around new people, but from day one they seemed to warm to Kim - which was so reassuring!!! It was a real weight off my mind knowing that they were both in good hands while I was away. The twice daily photos and updates were so lovely to receive too!! I've never used a cat sitter before, as I wasn't comfortable with the thought of having somebody I didn't know in my home but Kim has done such a great job that I will 100% be booking Kim in the future!!!'
Marcia - Ware'Kim came and looked after our elderly and frail cat "Mrs Wu" on a number of occasions when we were away, administering medication and making sure she was comfortable. I have known Kim for many years, her attention to detail and care in looking after her own along with other peoples pets is second to none and conveys her great love of our four legged friends.'
Diana - Hertford'Kim walked my puppy when I had to go out, really helped me to know Anise would be well looked after and was in safe caring hands. It's good to know I can rely on Kim when needed.'
Gill - Hertford'Angel always enjoys her fun walks with Kim. I would have no hesitation in recommending Fur Baby Minder. Kim is a natural with animals and is willing to spend time building up a relationship with the much loved pet she is looking after. Kim is also 100% trustworthy and reliable.'
