I would recommend Marcella/Purple Penguin to anyone who needs their pet looked after. I have been away a few times now and have had complete piece of mind that Henry (the cat) is being well fed/watered and cuddled. Thanks so much, you are the best pet carer Henry has ever had! Jemma & Henry (the cat)

I knew from the moment I met Marcella that my cats would warm to her and they did!
My cats are getting on in years and unfortunately both of them fell ill weeks before I was due to go off and get married last December. Pixie developed a large tumour on his side which had to be removed immediately and Dixie had to be put onto a special diet and pills for his kidneys. I was on the verge of postponing the wedding when Marcella’s brochure arrived through my front door. Marcella is a very caring person and she immediately put my mind to rest. She did an amazing job looking after both cats whilst we were away and it was always great to receive the text updates to hear that everything was OK. Both cats looked extremely relaxed and well cared for when we arrived home.
I thoroughly recommend Marcella’s Pet Nanny services and will continue to book Marcella for all holidays and business trips - whenever we have to be away from the ‘boys’. Lorraine & Pixie + Dixie (and now Bertie, Ziggy, Hattie + Rodney)





It’s really reassuring to know that as well as taking care of the animals, Marcella is happy to open and close curtains and switch lights on and off (at no extra cost), giving added security to the house whilst we are away. Vicki & Polly + Beanie
Thanks for clearing up the dead bird that the cats bought in! Cats seemed quite happy and content when we got home, thanks. We’ll give you a call next time we’re away. Helena & Lou + Rosie
Thank you so much for looking after my guinea pigs so well. It’s great knowing that I am leaving them in such good hands. You are so reliable and professional. Also, the text messages are a great idea and reassurance. Tanya & Rascal, Toffee + Pepper
Never try and teach a guinea pig to sing: it's a waste of time, and it annoys the guinea pig.
Excellent service, flexible to meet our needs. Fluffy was not distressed as she used to be when we put her in a strange cattery! Friendly and efficient service and we felt we had a link with home whilst away. Complimentary milk was very much appreciated on our return. David & Judith + Fluffy
Marcella is superbly efficient and very friendly. More importantly, she genuinely cares for my pets which I value above all else. Andrew & Isaac + Fizz
An excellent service. It is very reassuring to know that Tuppence is in such good hands and can stay in her familiar environment whist we are away. It is also great to have the house visited regularly too. Linda & Tuppence
My two pooches adore Marcella which is testament to the excellent care she gives them. I can strongly recommend Marcella for the care of your pets. I can now go away knowing my pooches are in excellent hands. Amanda & Inca + Toby
Nothing but thanks! It’s very reassuring to know we can rely on someone 100% and to know that someone cares about our cats and enjoys spending time with them while we’re away. They come straight to you when you come to the house which shows how comfortable they are around you. Kate & Brandy + Whiskey
Very efficient and reliable, will definitely use the Purple Penguin Pet Carer again. Mr Allen & Clyde, Scruff + Snowy
Our pampered puss has clearly continued to be pampered. We are extremely happy with the service you have provided. Luke, Maria + Looby Lou
