Ratings and reviews
Oliver looked after our dog and three cats for five days. He did regular updates, lots of walks and the full feeding routine. Everyone seemed very content and happy on our return and I would definitely recommend his attentive and reliable service.
Thanks Oli, it was lovely to know Penny was in such good hands ☺️
Oli is fabulous. My dogs adored him and there can't be higher praise than that. He looked after them in our home, followed all instructions, and sent regular updates. We will definitely book him again.
Oliver was the peefect house guest and companion to our elderly chihuahua and chaotic labrador, who we hadnt left with anyone. Oliver took time to understand their routine, sent pictures and videos throughout and made us feel updated throughout. Will be asking for repeat visits for sure!
I couldn’t be happier with the care Oliver provided for my dogs! He was attentive, reliable, and truly cared for Cash and Opie as if they were his own. My dogs were happy, well-fed, and clearly enjoyed their time together. The updates and photos were a great touch, giving me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Oliver to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog watcher!”
Thank you Oliver for looking after our girls so well. Oliver was kind, listened to our requests and took care of our labradors (and house) brilliantly. They loved spending time with him. We got lots of lovely updates.

I'm a freelance photographer, so I pet sit around my own schedule, being very free during some periods of the year. I can schedule pet sitting easily around my work.
