Karen
Karen sent me texts with photo, each day, so that's the basis on which I rate punctuality. My cat was well cared for and happy.
May 2025
Our cats are always calm, happy and well fed upon our return. The appear to know Karen and we have been happy with her care.
April 2025

We really appreciate Karen being able to look after our cat when we are away, she is very helpful and our cat responds well to her visits.

Karen was great at communicating, particularly as Tilda didn't show her self. She let me know that she was eating and also had been very active at night playing, which was reassuring. She also went to the trouble to check she was under the bed and OK after she didn't come out to say Hi.
Karen is great with the timings also so that Tilda isn't ending up being feed really close together in time. I can't comment on punctuality or presentation as I am not there when she comes.
January 2025
Karen is amazing. She took exceptional care of our cats, fish, indoor plants and garden and communicated daily. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was perfect when we returned home. Karen is a gem and I would not hesitate in recommending her or booking her again!

Karen always takes wonderful care of Charlie when we go away. She sends us regular updates and we always come home to a very happy cat! He is very timid by nature but comes out of hiding and allows Karen to pat him so she has been able to form a great bond with him. We can relax and enjoy our holiday knowing that he is happy and in great hands!

Karen was simply wonderful in caring for our precious kitty Melvin Van Peebles. She completely understood his needs and his personality from the get-go and was highly responsive and attuned to us . Would highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a trusting, caring and reliable human for their non-human family members!
July 2023
We have had Karen numerous times to look after other pets we have had and she has always been reliable and caring. This time she took care of our newly adopted dog with separation anxiety. She sent numerous messages and photos about how our dog was going and it made us feel less worried. Our dog looked happy and comfortable. Karen always goes that little extra not just walking our dog but also playing with her and talking to her. Thank you Karen we will certainly ask for you again!

Karen sent me photos and texts to let me know how my pets were doing. She went over and above to look after them. I will definitely be asking Karen to look after my pets in the future. Rhonda.
January 2023
Karen is a dedicated carer and it was very reassuring to know that she was looking after our cat, Jinx. Karen came to visit us, to meet our cat and see the set up, in good time. She regularly sent updates and photos and Jinx looked very happy indeed. When we arrived home, everything was neat and clean and Jinx was in great shape. I can't recommend Karen highly enough. She's a very kind and reliable person and I'm grateful to have met her through Lonely Pets Club.
January 2023

Karen was fantastic with our senior dog. Including sending pics of him and letting us know how he was.
We were absent knowing he was in good hands. ??
January 2022
Very friendly and trustworthy. Thank you.
January 2022
Would suggest a text msg check-in for each day paid to visit, even if animal is not around eg. ‘Cat was not in house but dry food eaten from yesterday and pot plant watered’
January 2022
Karen is friendly, considerate and trustworthy. She came to meet us and our pet and to get familiar with our home before the care period. She kept in touch close to the start date to confirm it. She sent us every day news and a photo of our cat. The cat's tray had been cleaned and its bowl was filled with dry food when we returned. The cat did not seem distressed. Everything went as expected.

Karen has looked after my cats several times and each time they are happy and look great when I get home. Even my timid girl comes out for pats and a brush for Karen. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.
January 2022
Karen was fantastic and very adaptable when I had some last minute changes to my arrangements. Really appreciate that she made the time to come and meet the kitties before I left. She kept in touch during the period and made me feel like my kitties were in very good hands.

Want to thank Karen again for her excellent assistance looking after Nellie whilst we were away and also keeping us up to date as to how Nellie was going, specially with the hot weather. Karen also collected mail and was prepared to water the garden as needed and cleaned up after Nellie. A service I will recommend to others needing pet home care.
February 2020
Karen is wonderful the pups love being walked by her and always are happy and healthy when I come back to home.

This is the second occasion on which I've been fortunate to have Karen look after my two cats. Again, she did an exceptional job and I look forward to engaging her services again in future.
December 2019
I returned home to happy cat. I take that as a good sign that he was well cared for. In the past when we would put him in a cattery we would always return to a thinner, skittish cat. So it's great that we can confidently leave him and know he was looked after. Karen was an exceptional carer. I was a little worried this time as I've never left him whilst he needs to take daily medication but I had nothing at all to worry about, Karen looked after him beautifully.
December 2019
We have had Karen before and she has once again taken extra care of our cat Misty. On our return Misty seemed content and happy and all instructions were followed. I love how Karen sends us photos of Misty occasionally to reassure us that she is ok.
November 2019
My cats are so much happier staying at home and even my unsocial cat likes Karen.

My cats were in excellent condition when I returned home. Karen did a terrific job. Everything was done to my satisfaction... As I have used Karen previously - we get on fine and so do the cats. Karen in turn adores my Nudies and this is reflected in the care given.
I would gladly refer colleagues/ friends etc to use Lonely Pets and I do recall one of my colleagues following up on my recommendation...
As I have another trip planned for mid year and I will certainly use Lonely Pets again for care of my Nudies. Having police checked people also adds to the sense of security...
Thanks to everyone who cared for or did the office side of things. Great job and I look forward to using your services again in the future.

Karen has taken care of my cats on two occasions now and both times I've returned, they have been very placid and happy. Clearly Karen took very good care of them and they didn't miss me a bit! I'm very appreciative of Karen sending me texts and photos of them while I'm away.

We are always so pleased to have Karen look after our Koda. Karen always communicates well with us and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is 'right' while we are away. On our recent trip our gate broke and Karen did everything possible to secure the premises so Koda stayed safe. This wasn't an easy task - Karen moved large, heavy logs and bins! Karen also bought Koda a chew toy to keep her entertained while she mended our gate!! We are so very grateful. Karen is wonderful.

Karen has done a great job looking after Pinot and Oscar.
In previous companies they have provided a daily diary update of how the cats are doing - I just provides peace of mind. I have asked karen to do this. It's something you could consider going forward across all your careers. I love the ease of the service and the care you give to my fur barbies.
August 2017
I love having Karen care for my babies! I know I can travel without ever having to worry about them, knowing they are in very capable hands! And my babies love her! Especially Cleo, who is normally very stand-offish.

Karen did an amazing job with Frankie while I was overseas for two weeks. She not only fed and looked after Frankie, but she kept the place nice and tidy, took in my mail and kept in contact letting me know Frankie was well and even sending me picture messages of my baby. When I came home Frankie looked very well and was happy to see me and I had a note from Karen saying how well behaved Frankie was and how sweet she was. I will definitely use your services again- Michelle
