We have been using a lady for cat sitting when we've gone away during the past few years. We give her a key, she comes in twice a day to feed our cat and play with her. All was fine until the last time we went away last Christmas.
We came home to find we had been burgled. Only the upstairs bedroom was affected but they took my entire jewellery collection. To this day we are still not 100% of their point of entry - there was a smashed glass door to a balcony that leads off the bedroom but we think this was a red herring and whoever got in had a front door key.
Cat sitter said she knew nothing about it and didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
She seems trustworthy but I am very nervous now about using her again. I can't be sure if she wasn't involved or gave someone the key etc.
We are planning to go away this summer. For security I would feel safer leaving our cat in a cattery but that would mean she's in a cage and can't go outside.
