Kent based furry cat searching for Housesitters
Introduction
Runner lives in a hamlet and requires food, drink and some attention while his owners are on holiday. He is a former rescue cat who has been with us for almost 5 years. He came to us with an older cat, John, who sadly passed away recently from cancer. Runner has recently come out of his shell and while he is still extremely shy , he will be your best friend at mealtimes. He is curious about people and over time you can win his confidence.

Thank you so much Karen & Niall for a very enjoyable, comfortable stay in your beautiful quirky home. Your hospitality was very generous and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening & meal in the local pub - the Kings Head. Runner was a sweetie, albeit very elusive loving the outdoors, though we saw more of him as the sit progressed. I was so delighted when he finally came to me and let me stroke him. We thoroughly recommend this sit and would be delighted to be asked again.

We had a peaceful and relaxing sit looking after Runner and John in a beautiful and quirky home. The house is set in a beautiful location, but not to far to travel to nearby towns of Lenham and Headcorn. Thank you for choosing us, would love to visit again in the future.

Karen left comprehensive instructions and was in regular contact throughout the sit. We enjoyed staying in her lovely house and were made to feel very welcome. It was a great location to explore from. Cycling up the hill to the house was a challenge for me, however the local lanes were good to cycle in. John and Runner were a pleasure to look after. John loved to spend time indoors with us and liked company. Runner was aptly named and if startled ran. If he came up to me on his terms he loved a fuss. Thank you for inviting us to sit for you we would be happy to return.

We had a great time staying at Karen and Niall's wonderful comfortable house. The cats, John and Runner were great characters and very easy to look after. We were made very welcome and both Karen and Niall were very generous. The house is located in a fab area and as long as you have a car you can explore lots of places nearby.
