About Me

Honest, reliable and caring

Hello everyone, my name is Mark and welcome to my profile.

I hope you like it and deem me suitable to look after your pets.

I will visit your cat(s) once or twice daily as you require to give them the attention they need so they won't miss you too much. I'll make sure they're fed and watered and will clean their litter trays/boxes and make them feel special. I'll also send you regular updates including photos/videos if you wish via WhatsApp to give you that peace of mind to enable you to relax on your holiday.

I'm a non smoker and have my own car.

I've reached the stage in my life where I have time on my hands and not having any dependent children or pets I am available to look after your cat any time of the year.

Once I agree on a cat sit I always ensure that I carry it out.

I keep a very tidy and clean house. Being a single parent until a few years ago I have had to so I'll make sure your house remains the same as you left it even if your cats have managed to cause a bit of untidiness!!

I'm also fond of all animals as I grew up with cats, dogs, gerbils and fish.

I'm a very easy going person with a good sense of humour and like to see the lighter side of life generally and I'm also empathic too.

I do possess a strong sense of responsibility with a very caring and compassionate side to me too. My mother had a long spell of illness many years ago so I moved her into my house to look after her for 18 months. Not an easy task looking after someone who's had a nervous breakdown and I'm happy to say she's in fine fettle today.

To Whom it May Concern,

I have known Mark for several years and have always found him to be a conscientious and caring person. He is personable, genuine and trustworthy with a generous nature. He is also very friendly with an excellent sense of humour. He has run his own business for many years and therefore has experience and skills in logistics and organisation.

Mark loves animals and has had his own pets in the past. He is also a very family orientated person who cares deeply for his family and friends.

I would have no hesitation in asking him to house sit for me and i recently had cause to ask him to care for my cat, Blue.

For any other information please do not hesitate to contact me via email or by landline

I have been good friends with Mark for more than 16 years and would happily trust him to look after my house. He is very kind and thoughtful and when he takes on a responsibility takes it seriously. He ran a courier business for many years where deadlines mattered and he always made sure his targets were met (including crucial medical deliveries).

I have regularly stayed at his house which he keeps in very good order and we have been on several holidays together where Mark always takes on more than his fair share of the organising and arrangements which he is excellent at doing. With both his self-employed work life and his interests he has had to be very organised and disciplined to make sure things are done in good time. I know Mark is fond of animals and has looked after them for a couple of friends when they have been away on holiday.

I would have no problem in recommending him to look after anyone's house and/or pets.

Kind regards,

Elizabeth

Reference for Mark Trafford:

Re: House Sitting

I went to primary school with Mark and have known him for nearly 50 years. He is an honest, reliable and trustworthy person. He has an ability to get on with people and is one of the most genuine friends I am pleased to know. He has a great sense of humour which makes him good to be around.

He loves animals, and they seem to like him too. He has a an excellent track record in business and believes in customer service. His responsibility to customers is second to none.

He has a great circle of friends, and is close to his family. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mark to house-sit or look after and care for pets to the highest standards and in the most responsible way.

Yours sincerely

Maryam

    We chose Mark from the list on the website. We couldn’t have chosen better. He gave our cat the best attention. He came twice a day for 3 days and we left it up to him whether he left her indoors or outdoors according to his reading of her wishes and the situation at the time. He did this brilliantly. We certainly recommend him whole heartedly.

    Mark looked after our cat for 1 week and gave us regular updates. I would recommend using Mark if you are in need of a cat sitter.

    Mark is very trustworthy and reliable, I felt comfortable leaving him with my home and my cats while I was away. Great communication, made me feel relaxed about being away and kept me up to date each day. Looking forward to using his services again!
