Who runs The Happy Pet Sitting Service?
A Client Feedback Form is left after the completion of an assignment, or in the case of a long term arrangement like regular dog walking, after 2 - 3 weeks. We ask questions about the initial client meeting, how the services were performed/are being performed, whether or not the client would use The Happy Pet Sitting Service again and if they would recommend our services.
We encourage HONEST feedback as this is the best way to monitor and improve our service delivery. We thank the clients (and pets!) below for their words and pictures.

We have used Karen’s services several times to look after our dog Sammy when
we know we are all going to be out of the house for a long time and we can’t
take Sammy with us. Karen will come in once or twice during the day,
depending on how long we are away, and take Sammy out for a walk, play with
him and generally spoil him rotten. Karen has a natural empathy with
animals and Sammy took to her like a duck to water – well a dog really!
She is fully qualified as a ‘pet
sitter’.
We have known Karen for sometime and it is reassuring to know that she will
check things out whilst we are away – and we always look forward to getting
back and seeing her little report on how Sammy has been during her visit.
Karen is a very honest and reliable person and we would have no hesitation
it recommending anyone else to entrust their pets in her care.

I find Happy Pet Sitting to be
a very professional and smart service and also very friendly. The text and
log updates they use are so reassuring. Bubbles is very happy to have them
look after her! Miss J of Macclesfield |

Zac so looks forward to his

he has had his outing. Zac is happy and we are delighted! S and A-M of Timbersbrook |

Finding someone to look after rabbits
can be difficult as very few people are prepared to do the cleaning out.
With my two buns, I have the added complication that one requires medication
twice a day. Karen provides an excellent service that caters for all of these needs and because the animals are looked after in their own home, they are spared the unnecessary stress caused by car journeys to alternative carers. The service is both friendly and professional with Karen's daily diary even giving details of the cuddles before bedtime. Mrs R of Macclesfield |
|

The Happy Pet Sitting Service looks
after my puppy Roxy. I use them twice a week. They inform me on how Roxy got
on every visit which is a great help in Roxy's development. She always seems
tired after her walk which is a good sign! Mr M of Macclesfield

The initial client meeting - For me
this was more about getting a feel for you - I could tell you were
enthusiastic, caring and professional. Lloyd seems happy! Daily reports are good and make interesting reading. Level of professionalism is excellent. Great that Lloyd gets to see Bandit every day! J and K of Sutton |

very informative and amusing. The service was above and beyond the call of
duty including re-potting cat attacked plants and noting the condition of my
car tyres- all much appreciated. Mrs. E of Rode Heath |

Karen is very approachable and kind.
She is willing to share her experiences with her own dog which is very
reassuring. Mrs. L of North Rode. |

A great experience, from the initial
telephone contact, to returning home to 2 happy and well cared-for cats.

A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL MY CLIENTS
(AND THEIR MUMS AND DADS!) FOR THE WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS CARDS AND PRESENTS
THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME. THE HAPPY PET SITTING SERVICE HAS MADE A FANTASTIC START DURING 2007 AND I LOOK FORWARD TO CARING FOR ALL MY PET FRIENDS DURING 2008! KAREN |

We were very happy with the dog
walking that you did for us during Xmas and new year and impressed with both
the professional attitude showed both at your initial introduction and the
log provided after the walks. Mrs. F of Congleton |

As new owners of a 10 week old
Newfoundland puppy ("challenging" springs to mind!), we are counting our
blessings that we found Karen and the Happy Pet Sitting Service! What we have found with Karen's service has exceeded our expectations! Not only do we have a reliable person who schedules her visits to suit our needs, and provides feedback on how our puppy has been or behaved whilst she has been there, we have found someone with the best possible attribute we could have ever asked for...we have found someone with a genuine, deep love of animals, someone who puts the animal's welfare as their highest priority, and is happy to look after, play with, and even socialise our puppy (and dare I say sometimes her owners too :-) We not only have someone who provides a dog-sitting service, but someone who we trust and can learn from...and from Flump the Puppy's perspective, she has found a brand new friend who she just loves to see (in fact 2 friends if we include Bandit, Karen's dog!) We cannot recommend the service provided for us by Karen highly enough, and we hope that Karen and Flump will stay friends for a very, very long time. Mr O and Miss S Of Gawsworth

After our previous disastrous time
with a rival pet sitter, we came home to a spotless house and 2 very happy
and contented Orientals (Mim and Merlin). Thank you so much for looking
after them and keeping us informed by texts and then the diaries when we got
home. We will, most definitely be calling on you again! Mr and Mrs. M. of Congleton |

definitely have them again! Thanks again. Ms. F of Congleton |

I would recommend "The Happy Pet

It gave me peace of mind, knowing
that both my cats were cared for in their own home. Karen and Mark are
obviously pet-mad, so I was really glad to leave Koko and Toby in their
hands. Mrs. H of Macclesfield |
|
| KoKo and Toby | ||
  |
A great first service from Karen. Loved the pet log, it was nice to see what the cats had been up to each day! I have no hesitation in recommending Karen, she obviously adores animals and I have already booked next set of dates with her later in the summer. Mrs. H of Holmes Chapel

From the pet sitting log, Sam has
been looked after brilliantly. Ms. H of Congleton |
|
| Sam | ||

Very friendly and a love for dogs
was obvious - we felt very happy leaving Meg in your care and it sounds like
she had fun - it was great having the log to look at to see what she had
been up to. R and N of Macclesfield |
|
| Meg | ||
  |
It was reassuring to get the initial
text message to let us know that all was well. Thank you Karen for providing
an extra visit at very short notice when our flight home was delayed. We
very much enjoyed reading the daily log. Thank you for all the time spent
with Tabby - she was very contented when we got home. Tigger was his usual
laid back self! We very much hope that you will be able to look after them
again. You are a star! Mr and Mrs. S of Biddulph |

The pet sitting log is a fantastic
idea and gave us a good insight to what Alfie got up to while we were on
holiday. We also loved reading about Alfie's relationship that he built up
with Claire and his little swims. It gave us a great reassurance that he was
fine while we away. Our house sitter commented on how Alfie was quite pooped
after his walks with Claire. We are so glad we made the decision to use your
dog walking service and a huge thank you to both Claire and Karen who
provided us with a fantastic service and we look forward to speaking with
you again soon. PS Please send a big lick from Alfie. Mrs. B of Congleton |
|
| Alfie | ||

Claire [one of The Happy Pet Sitting
Service's helpers] is friendly, professional and brilliant with Xavier! We
are so pleased with the service, it just means one less thing to worry about
- we know Xavier is happy and well looked after while we work. Mr and Mrs. F of Congleton |
|
| Xavier | ||
   |
All done as promised - great to get
text letting us know boys came in! Boys seemed chilled when we got back -
even Psycho! Definitely use you again. Thanks A-M and J of Congleton |

Fletcher was well looked after and
it was reassuring to know that the house was kept an eye on too. Fletcher
doesn't enjoy going into a cattery so this is the best choice for him and
for us as we know he is happy at home and has some company during the day. Mr and Mrs. H of Mow Cop |
|
| Fletcher | ||

It is very important for one in my
lofty position to have the best quality staff. I am very generous to my
staff and allow my butler and housekeeper plenty of time off - sometimes
even as long as a week or two. How am I able to do this? The answer is Happy
Pet Sitting who provide the best quality staff. They ensure that I am well
catered for and cuddled whilst my regular staff are away. Furthermore Happy
Pet Sitting provide this excellent service at an affordable price. I would have no hesitation in recommending Happy Pet Sitting to any other blue blooded cat. Marmaduke |

Excellent attention to detail,
inviting anyone into your home is always a risk but Karen made us feel at
ease and we knew our cats were in good hands. Mr. N of Congleton. |

Professional / Well organised /
Knowledgeable / Extremely helpful / Attentive / Punctual / Security
conscious - all these words can be used to describe this service from a
small, family run business where your receive a personal service to suit
your own individual requirements. Karen has been enthusiastic and helpful in all my dealings with her and more than ready to go the extra mile to make sure my dog was comfortable and happy with the arrangements. I would particularly like to mention the "pet log" which was completed at each visit to let you know exactly how your pet was and how long she stayed and what they did. Karen even sent a text message on her first visit when we were unsure how our dog would react to a stranger entering the house for the first time and this really put our mind at rest to know everything was OK and we were able to enjoy our day. Very satisfied with a wonderful service! Mrs. G of Congleton |

It was great to arrive home to see
Sam our 19 year old cat in such good condition. While we were away it was
comforting to know he was being looked after properly - and getting plenty
of attention which he needs Mr and Mrs. S of Tytherington |
|
| Sam | ||
  |
A great alternative to the usual
cattery and an ideal choice for 2 - 3 days. We particularly like the
"Pet Sitting Log" so we can see what our "boys" have been up to while we're
away. GREAT SERVICE. Mrs. O of Macclesfield |
|

Beth loves her walks with Karen and the team and we love coming home to read the daily reports! Always put a smile on our faces! Lovely to know has such great dog lovers there for her if we can't be home every day. Mrs. J of Congleton

Thank you for looking after April
and May for us last week. We were extremely pleased with the service you've
provided - the girls were both happy and relaxed when we arrived home. The log is a lovely idea and it was great to get a text message from you on the first day to put our minds at rest. It's a big step letting someone have your house keys and trusting them to look after your pets but I can honestly say that the girls couldn't have received better care. We now look forward to going away later in the year and it's just such a relief to know that the girls will be well cared for. Mr and Mrs. J of Congleton |
|
| April (left) and May | ||
 |
What can we say but "excellent!"
Having a deaf dog we were initially concerned about hading responsibility to
someone else but Karen, Mark and Claire have rapidly put our minds at rest.
Lucy loves them all and adores her walks (and the cuddles after!!) and we
can now go to work with no worries knowing she is in good hands.
Ms. O and Mr T of Congleton |

The service from The Happy Pet

A big thank you to Karen and the
Happy Pet Sitting Service for looking after my handsome boy Fizz , a big
black panther who just loves to be waited on , as I'm sure Karen and Co
found out when they came to cat sit over the Christmas period. He is truly
grateful (and so are his parents) for the fuss he was given whilst we were
away. I would recommend this service to anyone with feline or canine
friends and thank them all once again for a great job putting my mind at
rest. Mrs. B of Kidsgrove

Poppy loves the play and training. I
have peace of mind that she is being looked after well. Ms. B of Macclesfield |
|
| Poppy | ||

"I would recommend this service to
anyone I have used it 3 times now and have booked ready for my next
holiday. The whole service is superb from the initial booking to the
security of knowing that your animals will be cared for until you let them
know you are home so any flight delays etc are covered. Attention to detail
is key and it is lovely to come home to a diary seeing what Lawrence has
been up to while I've been away!!. It means he can stay in the comfort of
his own home and also gives me peace of mind about the house as well when I
am away. A five star service that I can't recommend enough." Mrs. G of Macclesfield |

Pet sitting log was fantastic and
really gave us confidence that the boys were very well looked after while we
were away. Whole service from initial contact to returning was exactly what we were looking for. Normally when we go away, even for a few nights, it takes a day or 2 for Fin particularly to settle and he is often missing for hours when we get back. This time both cats at home and looked like they'd barely noticed we were away. Thank you very much. Miss N and Mr B of Macclesfield |

Many, many thanks for looking after Kitten Face for the two week when we
were away on holiday. Hannah did a wonderful job and we returned home to a
happy and healthy cat and confident that someone had been keeping an eye on
the house while we were away. We were also delighted to receive your text
letting us know that everything was ok and to read Hannah's daily log when
we got back. I will certainly be using your service again because it is well
run, efficient, reliable and caring - what more can you ask for? Ms A of Macclesfield |
