Clive Johnson – Testimonials

The following are testimonials that were left on the public house-sitting website TrustedHousesitters.com. Others can be found under my listing profile at MindMyHouse.com.

“What can I say!? Clive was amazing! He turned up on time to go through all the practical things before he went for a walk with Mac and my husband to get to know the area a bit and Mac. We then left our precious Mac and house in Clive's care without worrying about either as he had made us feel very trusting of him in all the conversations we had before and when we met him. We were kept up to date with how things were going daily which was great. We came home to a house that I am sure was cleaner than I left it! Mac looked very well and happy and Clive had brought what can only be described as a hamper of food for us on our return. He is a lovely man who looked everything so well. Thanks so much Clive . Sue, Sandy, kids and, of course, Mac xx”.

“Clive was our first house sitter, and he will be a hard act to follow. He made the whole experience seem so easy. He was easy to make arrangements with, and came to meet us prior to staying. We had regular messages while we were away, and we came home to two happy animals, a clean and tidy house, and even a fridge full of delicious food. We can't believe our luck at having found him. Can't recommend him highly enough”.

Christina - Brighton, United Kingdom 11 July 2016

“This was Clive's second sit for us and we were just as happy as last time. Clive is so friendly and easy to get on with, and we go away with absolute confidence that all will be well in our absence. He and our old border collie seem to like each other very much, and once again TJ wanted to go with Clive as he left. We would have no hesitation in recommending him, and hope he will sit for us again”.

Kate - Ross on Wye, United Kingdom 10 January - 31 January 2017

“This is the first time we had used a pet sitter and we were a little anxious, but from the moment we met Clive our worries were allayed. He is a gentle and unassuming man with an obvious love of animals and TJ seemed to bond with him immediately. We were able to spend a couple of hours together and take TJ for a walk, so that by the time we left we felt completely relaxed about leaving him (very different from past times when he's stayed in kennels). While we were away Clive sent us a few (not too many!) emails to let us know that all was well. I think they both enjoyed each other's company. When Clive was preparing to leave TJ ran down the drive and tried to get in his car, and that says it all really. On the house sitting side of things, the house was spotless when we returned. I was going to say you wouldn't have known he had been there, but you would because it was cleaner when he left than when he arrived!!, There was food in the fridge which meant I didn't have to traipse down to the shops, and this was very very much appreciated, thank you. We would recommend Clive without any reservation. Elsewhere on a reference someone has written 'you cannot do better'. That is absolutely 100% true and we very much hope he will be able to spend some time with TJ again in the future”.

“Clive was our first experience of having a house sitter and was recommended to us by friends at our local church. He made the whole process very easy and relaxed as we made initial contact by phone and then he came to meet us at home before we went away. He looked after our cat and 4 chickens very well without any fuss and we returned from holiday to a clean and tidy house and even an amazing stock of lovely food and drink which was very kind and thoughtful and an unexpected surprise! We will certainly ask him back again and would highly recommend him. He is very trustworthy and has that special personal touch which makes all the difference”.

Kate And John - House / Pet sitting Reference 05 September 2016

“Clive was a very respectful and thoughtful cat sitter. I hardly knew he had been in my house - tidiest sitter ever! He was very tolerant of one of my cat's waking him early for love. Clive is courteous and organised. First person to ask where the cats' toy basket was. I think they all enjoyed hanging out together. He left lots of goodies for my very late return and was prepared to stay until I arrived home. I would definately use him again and have already asked about his availability....Thank you, Clive. Love from Karin, Whiskey and Emi”.

Karin - House / Pet sitting Reference31 March 2016

“Clive looked after our house and two character cats in Nov 2015 - Jan 2016 when we were away for this period. It was a pleasure meeting him and we have absolutely no hesitation if recommending him as a housesitter. He is responsible, reliable, honest and has full respect for your personal possessions. He kept everything clean, neat and tidy, he was helpful in posting various things out to our customers when necessary and was very patient when the boiler/heating system broke down! Clive even managed to write and publish a book while keeping our cats company! He is a very easy going and relaxed person with a high regard for your home and environment. He loved our cats and gave them lots and lots of love and attention! It was great to arrive home after a long to a warm welcome and some ready meals which he very kindly left in the fridge for us. We would welcome Clive to come and sit for our us and look after two kitty-cats again. With best regards and happy sitting , Susan and Graeme.”

Susan And Graeme - House / Pet sitting Reference 14 January 2016

“Clive house sat for me for 5 weeks in September looking after my springer spaniel. I have known Clive personally for over 2 years so knew him to have total integrity. He looked after my dog well (she clearly became very fond of him) walking her regularly. He left the house in an excellent condition. I would not have known he had been there except he left some fresh food in the fridge to welcome me back!”

“Clive lived with us in the South of France for nine months. During this period he took great pleasure in sharing in the many jobs to e done in a large house with 10,000m2 of garden and grounds not to mention 2 dogs. We cannot speak highly enough of his thoughtful initiatives. We would most thouroghly recommend him. ‘You cannot do better’.”

Kat And Chris - House / Pet sitting Reference 06 August 2015

“Clive was our house and cat sitter during a recent holiday. We only needed someone to feed the cats and keep an eye on the house but he far surpassed these expectations. Clive arrived promptly and was extremely organised, taking notes as we gave him a tour of the house. Our property is very old and has many quirks but these did not faze him. When we returned we found the house had been cleaned, bed changed and bed linen freshly washed. He’d even paid our window cleaner! The fridge was fully stocked with essential items and a few extra surprises chocolates being our favourite! The cats were also content and had clearly been well fed and received lots of cuddles. Its a shame we only need a sitter when we go away as we could do with Clive around the house more often! We would not hesitate to recommend him”.

Hannah And Alex - House / Pet sitting Reference 20 November 2014

“We were delighted with having chosen Clive to house/dog-sit for us- looking after our two dogs and home in Hanover, Brighton. Our home was impeccable to come back to and we could tell by how our dogs were with Clive that they had had a lovely time. We wouldn't hesitate to have Clive back at any time, nor to recommend him to others”.

Liz - House / Pet sitting Reference 29 September 2014

“I couldn't have been happier with the service Clive provided. He was in all ways considerate and thoughtful - and I left for my holiday with absolutely no worries or concerns. I returned to an immaculate flat, and a very contented cat! Clive is clearly a very reliable and trustworthy individual who cares a lot about others, and about maintaining professionalism; I would more than recommend him as a house and pet sitter”.

Laura - House / Pet sitting Reference 23 August 2014

“Clive looked after our family home whilst we were in America for three weeks. He was brilliant! He was very organised when he arrived, having a check list of all the information he required. Our house was immaculate when we returned. Much tidier than when we left! He had thoughtfully provided us with food and flowers too, which was unexpected, but a delightful surprise. He looked after the cat and chickens extremely well. I can thoroughly recommend his services”.

Jane - House / Pet sitting Reference 19 August 2014

“Clive looked after our flat for 2 months while we were awaiting completion of its sale. In his early fifties, he is an author, life coach and management consultant with a responsible attitude. He kept the place clean and tidy, and was friendly with the neighbours. We felt the flat was in good hands and would use him again”.
