Pet care experience

A Buddy For Your Buddy While You’re Away!

I am a lifelong animal lover, who grew up with cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish and a chinchilla - basically as many animals as my mum and I could get away with bringing home and as my dad would (just about) tolerate! As an adult, I have had cats and now have a beautiful 6-year-old pug, Bella.🥰

Valerie popped in on our two dogs at very short notice (the day after we booked). Within a few hours she called round to meet the dogs and understand their needs. She came round perfectly on time and followed our instructions. She was also very accommodating when I needed to modify one of the bookings due to illness. I would 100% book Valerie again and would recommend her. Thank you!

We’ve been using Valerie for the past few months and I honestly couldn’t recommend her more highly. She has been absolutely amazing with our dog so reliable, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. It’s such a comfort knowing your dog is in safe her hands. Communication was great. And our dog loved her!! We’re so grateful for all her help and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind dog sitter. Thank you so much again! 🐾

Valerie has been brilliant with Cali! She is calm, kind, organised and friendly. Cali loves her manner. Valerie always arrives on time, takes her for a walk, ensures her health and wellbeing during the visit and also does a bit of puppy training. We look forward to having Valerie come regularly.

Thanks so much for dropping in for Monty. He was a very happy hound when I got home.

Valerie did a pre-visit. During the drop in, she left photographs to reassure me and followed instructions. Valerie was very flexible and understanding. Thanks again
