I have asked Lydia on many occasions to look after my 6 cats often at very short notice. From the start, Lydia impressed me with her professional and organised approach to her business- requiring full information from the cats' likes/dislikes to details of their veterinary cover. This, together with her friendly personality, gives me the confidence that my cats' welfare and the security of my home are in good hands when I am away.

My husband and I have been extremely happy to allow Lydia to look after our cats and hamster and we would not hesitate to recommend her services to others. It is always reassuring when we go away on holiday to know that our pets are in capable hands. The main thing we appreciate is that Lydia doesn't simply just feed the cats and hamster, but she will spend some time with them and give them some attention and affection so that they don't get too lonely. We are very happy with her service and think it is good value and trust that she will continue to do it for some years so that we know we always have someone trustworthy and reliable to depend on! Thank you Lydia

Lydia looked after my cat Betty a few times. I was impressed at the amount of information she took down about my cat, from her feeding habits to her likes/ dislikes and character/personality. Betty was certainly very content and happy on our return and had sat on Lydia's lap a lot of evenings, which is amazing as Betty can be quite shy. Can definitely recommend Lydia to look after anyone's pets.

M Robertson Lydia is perfect for looking after your loved ones. Not only is Lydia very reliable, she also takes time to understand them, their requirements, and puts your mind at rest by giving updates whilst away.
E Jurish Thank you so so much Lydia, 10/10 for everything! If anyone is looking for a professional pet sitter then look no further! Fantastic! X

Just a quick note to recommend a brilliant pet sitter if anyone ever gets stuck for holidays and weekends away. I've been using Lydia from Paws and Claws Pet Sitting to look after my cats and rabbits for a year or so now and she is absolutely excellent and very reasonably priced. She is very professional and reliable and our animals act like we have never been away. A real gem! She has done an astounding job as always, going above and beyond what we expect. All animals are clean, happy and totally indifferent to the fact we are home, as it should be! Lydia is an absolute godsend, travelling has always been stressful with so many animals, now we can go away and relax. Can't recommend enough, five stars! Thank you again Lydia.

Lydia looked after our 9 month old kitten whilst we went away for the weekend, it was very last minute and she was able to fit us in and do a registration meeting the same day! She left us a lovely note when we got back too. We will definitely ask her to look after our furbaby again

Lydia is the best! She responded to our first contact call immediately which was reassuring straight away. We have an elderly unwell cat who needs special care. The moment we meet Lydia we were more than happy to leave Rosie in her care. She is calm and gentle and responsible. One of the best thing is seeing a posting of your pet while you're away. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect cat sitter.

Lydia has been doing house visits whenever I go away for work for a few months now! We have four bunnies, two guinea pigs and a hamster! She is so kind to them and feel comfortable having her come to our house! Lydia even came to do house visits when I injured my back and struggled to look after the animals as my husband was away. She’s lovely, friendly and very caring with the animals

We have used Lydia twice now and the service she provides is fantastic. I know that our cats are being left in good hands in the comfort of their own home. I love the fact that pictures are posted on the Facebook page and how Lydia cares for the animals, like feeding one of my cats upstairs as she is timid so other greedy boy doesn't eat it all! Also great service as Lydia watered my pots and collected my much awaited next parcel from a neighbour. Can't recommended enough. Thank you Lydia

Lydia looked after my two beauties for a weekend, they were so content when we got back. Lydia is very friendly and extremely professional.

We've used Lydia twice now and all booked for our next trip. Our cats have been well looked after, Lydia has been friendly, professional and flexible. She's been happy to accommodate our fur babies and their fussy ways. We would definitely recommend her.
H Chang
Thank you so much, Lydia!! Jackie and Rosie are really happy which made us a perfect trip. We will definitely ask you to look after them next time when we are on holidays. Now feel a lot relax to plan next holiday without worrying our fellows at home.
Again, thank you very much! Amazing service!

Lydia recently looked after my furry family. Elsa the cat, Mildred the chinchilla and toddy the degu. I was very worried about leaving them, but after meeting Lydia for the first time I felt confident that everything would be fine. I was very happy when I returned home and could see that the animals were all happy and well looked after. Thank you Lydia for doing a great job. I would highly recommend you.
N Tanner
Lydia was very quick to respond to enquiries, kept in good communication and arranged a visit beforehand to sort out what the cats needed. Didn't bat an eyelid at probably slightly unusual arrangements like raw feeding and "ghost cats" that are rarely spotted by visitors! Thanks very much for checking in on the boys over Christmas, I'll definitely get in touch again if I need pet sitting.
R Juffs
Great service and cats are a million times happier than going in to a cattery! Thank you so much!
M Hill
Our cat is quite shy and we were worried about leaving her but Lydia has put her at ease and we have been able to go on holiday knowing she is in safe hands.
D Patman
Lydia was able to look after my gecko at very short notice. She was friendly and very professional. I went away feeling very happy that Milo was going to be well taken care of. I would have no hesitation recommending her to anyone and would definitely use her again.
P Mainprise
Thank you so much Lydia! We have a house and garden full of pets and you have done a fantastic job of looking after them.
H Russ
Thank you Lydia, I came back to our lovely pussies, both relaxed, I am very grateful to you. The update was very reassuring and I am glad Greebo finally came around (very aloof, pussycat who doesn't accept people easily) and allowed you to stroke him.
C Baker
Lydia provides a professional, reliable and good value service. Our cat and our home were very well looked after, and we received regular updates. We are grateful to have found a genuine cat lover who enjoys what they do, and it was clear our cat warmed to Lydia straight away. We would highly recommend Lydia to anyone looking for someone to take care of their beloved pets, with the peace of mind that they will be in very good hands.
M Hammond
Unbelievable service and would recommend to anyone who wants their pets looked after when they are away. We have full confidence when leaving our Pets and get updates and pictures to show how they are getting on.
K Gardiner
Lydia is a very sweet and thoughtful person who took the needs of our cat seriously, and communicated with us very effectively before, during and after the cat sitting. I'd certainly recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting
L Munnelly
Lydia looked after our cat for a week while we went on holiday, with visits twice a day. She sent regular updates so that we could see how he was getting on and what they’d been up to together.
Lydia made time in the visits to play and give attention to Austin alongside feeding etc which we hugely appreciated to make sure he wasn’t feeling lonely. He has definitely taken to Lydia and has loved his time with his new friend!
We wouldn’t hesitate to use Lydia again, or to recommend her to others who would like their cats to be looked after in the comfort of their own home.

Lydia has looked after my zoo every time I have been away this year. What a fantastic service! Highly reliable, and we loved the updates and photos while we were away. All the animals were well fed and looked after, with extra cuddle and play time. Absolutely amazing. 5 stars all around.
A Cragg
Lydia has been a godsend, she looked after our two cats as they hate the cattery. This year she looked after them while we were away and there was also a tradesman doing extensive work on our house. She took care of the kitties knowing they were probably feeling very unsettled. We are very grateful!
K McKenzie
Thank you Lydia for taking great care of my bunnies Snowy and Bubba for 7 days at short notice. Snowy was poorly and Lydia called me and managed the whole situation while keeping me informed and administering medication after taking him to and from the vet. I will never trust anyone else to look after my precious fur babies. Lydia even brought grass and dandelion leaves especially from home. If you have a fur baby they're in safe hands with Lydia
H Robertson
Great flexible local service, experienced and very caring. Lydia looks after my nervous cat who is so happy to see her. I can't recommend more highly.
M Hallwood
We have a very shy and nervous cat ( well, not with us, she bosses us around, but with everybody else). Hence, we worry when we leave her.
Lydia takes the time to play with her, sends us updates and we can see that she is being looked after and taken care of. So reassuring!!! Thank you!!
S Agnew
Extremely reliable friendly cat sitter. Lydia always sends photos to show how your cats are and, in my case, will search the house looking for them if need be! 100% recommend- Wouldn’t be without her!
A Trower
Lydia provides an excellent service. She is hugely knowledgeable and always takes the time to provide updates when looking after my cat, Peanut. He really loves her and I wouldn’t trust him with anyone else. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
