Meet our Sitters

‘I personally vet all of the London pet sitters that work for the company.’

Kacey Curtis (Founder & Director of Paws Galore Pet Sitters)

“Having set up Paws Galore Pet Sitters in 2009 after using a pet sitting company I felt didn’t really fulfil my expectations, I know how uncomfortable it can feel to hand over the keys to your home and beloved pet to a stranger.  That is why I only accept reliable, trustworthy London pet sitters to represent the company, people that I would trust with my own pets and home.”

 

Every sitter that works with Paws Galore Pet Sitters is covered by our Cliverton insurance policy and all hold a basic police disclosure certificate along with current references which are available upon request.  They go through a strict process which takes time and we interview every sitter in their own home.

Any of the information I have collected for our London pet sitters during this process can be made available to you should you wish to see it, this includes a personal statement about their personal and professional pet experience, references and CV’s.

We also have some clients that have joined us and become a London pet sitter themselves, they really know how it feels to leave their pet in someone else’s hands so can offer you the extra reassurance you may be looking for.

Also, in many cases, we are in a position to offer new clients a personal phone or email reference from one of our current clients who, when asked, are only too happy to provide this for the company.
