Sarah and her team have looked after cats Schrodinger and Heisenberg on several occasions now. It's very reassuring to go away knowing that they are in such capable and caring hands and equally to return to find that the usual tsunami of cat hair has been held at bay by their assiduous house sitting. In particular, Heisenberg can be quite aloof and it was amazing to see how much easier-going and forthcoming she was after a week with Claire. Highly recommended.

Its always very comforting to go away, knowing our pets are in such capable hands. Over the years our rescue cats haven't been straightforward to care for and so its been particularly good to return and find they've learned new skills with Sarah and are more confident than when we left. I can't recommend her highly enough.

I used Fulbourn Feline Services for the first time in June 2016 to look after my cat when I was away for a short break. Sarah was able to quickly arrange an initial meeting to discuss my cat’s usual routine. I was impressed by her friendly professional manner and her comprehensive questioning to ensure she knew all my cat’s needs – including about medication that she takes, which Sarah was very willing to manage. As well as looking after the cat, Sarah and Claire took great care of my house – they put the post away, cleaned the floor, watered plants and put the bins out for collection! (They also offer to collect milk/bread for our return and to alter the lights and curtains for security purposes). They also sent an email when I was away to reassure me my cat was ok, and sent a detailed report when I was back about her behaviour, feeding habits and how they had played with her – I felt that in only a few days they had clearly understood my cat’s habits and quirks and she had obviously taken to them. I will be booking with them again for my next holiday as I was extremely confident that my cat was in excellent hands.

Sarah has always been totally professional and reliable. As a vet, I'm a fussy cat owner and I trust Sarah with 'Dylan' absolutely - she has coped with his medication and also made me feel totally secure that he is being loved in my absence!

Sarah did a wonderful job looking after our girls. Lexie, our oldest, has diabetes, so Sarah was very attentive to her needs and gave injections twice daily. Chloe and Zoe eventually made friends with Sarah, and the morning brushing routine for all 3 she established has continued! Great job, and highly professional.

We were made aware of Sarah through a friend and thought we would try an alternative to the cattery for when we were away from home. Instead of having to collect the cat from the cattery, and accept a day or two of sulking, we now come home to a very happy cat. Sarah provides an excellent service, is very professional, and clearly knows how to keep a cat happy! Knowing that she will be popping round really puts us at ease when we are away.

We love having Sarah visit and it’s a brilliant service. Our dog Baz loves her coming round. It’s such a relief to know that he’s getting some play with someone who clearly loves animals.

Sarah Hayns looked after our cats for the first time in September. It isn’t an easy job as the two cats have very different needs Our elder cat is 15 and not in the best of health. While we were away she had a bad turn and Sarah coped with this admirably. She contacted our vet and talked through the problem with them and kept us informed every step of the way. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Sarah. She is extremely professional as well as having a great affinity with cats. As well as looking after our two felines, she switched lights on and off in the house while we were away and picked up the post from the mat so we felt very confident leaving our home and our animals in such capable hands. We will definitely use the services of Sarah again and hopefully next time she will have an easier time with our two cats

Excellent. I feel very confident leaving our rather fragile elderly cat with Sarah. I know that she gives her the attention she needs and that if there is a problem Sarah will deal with it. Can't recommend her highly enough.

Sarah provides a friendly, professional and overall excellent cat sitting service. It is wonderful to find someone who is willing to put the time in to get to know your pets. Sarah is patient and thorough, and I do not believe that our cats could be in safer hands when we are away. Worth every penny, and a pleasure to deal with.

We have employed Sarah ( Fulbourn Feline Services ) on several occasions to look after our two cats. The service on each occasion has been excellent and when our kitten was slightly unwell Sarah would send us a text each day keeping us updated on the kitten's health and administering medicine when required.

Sarah took charge of our kittens (6 months) Yoshi + Yuri and our Hamster Sophie whilst we were away for a period of 12 days. Our biggest concern was the young age of the kittens, and having to leave them "on their own" for an extended period of time. But, then came Sarah – and to cut a long story short, on our return we found everything and everyone in a remarkable state!

On top of giving me peace of mind by sending me a couple of e-mails and pictures of our kittens on our absence, Sarah had provided us with a detailed "Home Visit Report", which documented the course of her visits twice a day. Reading through those notes, one could truly sense her love and affection towards those entrusted to her. We are very grateful for Sarah's extraordinary effort to keep everything and everyone healthy, happy and nourished – not just on a food level, but especially on a soul level! We are so grateful to have our cats back not the least "traumatized" from our absence, but merely confident, trustful and self-contained. It's obvious – they had a great time with Fulbourn Feline Services!

On top of that the household was kept in an (again) extraordinary state! The fact, that there was milk in the fridge and an extra food supply for the kittens on hand, made the late evening arrival even more convenient

I could go on and on with my song of praises – there are countless other details I could mention, all to be summarized: If you are looking for THE "feline expert" – Sarah's Feline Services is what you're looking for!
