Safety, trust & environment

House sitting: Environment: I prefer do house sitting as pets are less anxious out the environment, they have their safe space they have smell they know. I take care that any objects or food not for pets is out of reach and environmet is clean and safe. Trust: Owners are getting updated and photos and videos of their pets, as frequently as they would like to do. I also prefer to do a meet and greet before the sitting so owner(s) and the dog will meet me know me and i won't ba a total stranger coming into house.

Crumble is our 11 year old Cockerpoo who is set in his routine, and very attached to me and my husband. He is rarely alone, and naturally, I was concerned leaving him for more than a couple of days to go on holiday. Polly came to our rescue and stayed at our home taking care of our beloved boy with a mix of absolute professionalism and great affection and calm. For the 5 nights we were away, I received many photo and film updates of our beloved boy having a simply wonderful time! It was such a relief to be able to relax, knowing that our home and our dog were being so well looked after. I highly recommend Polly (and Hue) and will definitely use her services again. I think he misses her...

Polly took good care of both of our puppies and we can recommend her. We were a bit nervous leaving them especially as they were still quite young and attached to us, but Polly's patience won them over and they cuddled up with her only after a couple of hours. Plenty of updates from Polly made us feel at ease and we wouldn't hesitate to book her again.

Polly & Hue were great with my puppy Biscuit. They are clearly dog lovers and it shows with the loving way they engage with her. They sent me updates from their visit and messages about how she was doing. Thank you!

Paulina was amazing with my two dogs, she met with us prior the booking for a meet and greet. I felt so comfortable leaving my beloved fur babies with Paulina, they seemed so happy in her company. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again and would absolutely recommend her to any other dog parent!
