one of my new clients has asked me if i know of any charge-by-the-hour house-cleaners who are good with cats, or at least somewhat friendly with them?

she's planning to change cleaners, as her current one seems rather averse to her very good-natured and friendly cat.

does anyone have a recommendation?

(PS: cleaner must be able to speak relatively intelligible English, and read instructions in English)

Does she have to clean the cat?

Is reading English essential? You know who loves cats, although may well overfeed them.

Kooky: i'm afraid the reading English bit is quite essential - some days the client has to be out of the house by the time cleaner arrives, and needs to leave notes if anything specific/unusual needs doing.

also, client's accent is a bit strong over the phone, may not be easily comprehensible by a cleaner who doesn't have a strong grasp of the language.

BoD: the good thing about cats is that they are self-cleaning
