“Nicole was a lovely dog sitter. She is very communicative, attentive and sent regular updates. She happily arranged a meet and greet before the sit just to make sure Albe and her got along. Albe loved spending time with Nicole and was clearly well looked after. I would definitely use Nicole again 😊”

“Brilliant experience! Ainhoa took care of my two cats who were wonderfully looked after, played with, and fed precisely as requested. I loved the frequent photos and videos. Kind, reliable, and polite—we'll definitely book again.”

We own plenty of toys from soft bears to squeaky balls to make sure your pet is always occupied.

“First class service! Alice was incredibly reliable and took excellent care of Wasabi. She arrived on time and looked after him attentively throughout the day. Wasabi was clearly very happy and comfortable in her care. We will definitely be booking Alice again and would highly recommend her to others without hesitation.”

“Israel was absolutely fantastic with Titan! From the moment he took over, he treated Titan just like one of his own dogs. He constantly took him out, kept him well-exercised, and gave him so much love and attention while we were away. Israel did a house-sitting stay for us, and he was incredibly respectful of our home. He kept everything clean and tidy, leaving us with total peace of mind the entire time. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to look after your dog, I cannot recommend Israel enough. We will definitely be booking him again!”

About: I have taken care of and had animals in my home since I was a young child. I have had the pleasure of meeting and caring for family, friends and acquaintances' pets throughout my life; being around animals will always be my comfort zone. I am currently freelancing from home so I can be very flexible with the dates and times of bookings! Plenty of time to look after the pets. The house has a large living room and ground floor, including a large fenced grass garden for dogs to play or relax. I also give dogs the option of fresh air and play at daycare bookings if the owner permits.

“Kaitlyn did an amazing job with our cats, despite their fussy routines! She handled all the meds perfectly as well and we came back to a clean house and happy kitties. Will definitely book her again in future :)”

“Sepideh is a dream cat sitter. She kept my Zinnia very happy and safe. Plus, she sent me lots of photos and updates. She was flexible, communicative and very friendly. Would 100% recommend and rebook. Thank you!”

“Katie looked after Biscuit for the day at my apartment whilst I was working. She gave regular updates and followed my instructions. She is super lovely, reliable, flexible and I would really recommend. Thank you Katie !”

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of cats and dogs, including tabby cats, British Shorthairs, and Sphynx cats. I have also looked after many different dog breeds and have grown up around animals, having owned Rottweilers and a Poodle, and I currently care for my Shih Tzu and two tabby cats. I am very confident handling pets of different personalities and needs, including dogs with separation anxiety. I genuinely enjoy working with animals and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. My aim is to give pet owners complete peace of mind, knowing their pets are in safe and loving hands at all times. I am a full-time SEN secondary teacher, however I spend my spare time (after 15:00) caring for cats and dogs, including my own pets. I have a strong passion for animals and really enjoy providing them with attentive, reliable care outside of my working hours. I am also available throughout all school term holidays, so if you are looking for a full-time pet sitter during these periods, please feel free to get in touch. In addition, I am open to last-minute weekend bookings where possible. With owner permission, I also love taking dogs out for enriching walks to places such as local parks or forests to ensure they are happy, stimulated, and enjoying their time while in my care. I have a fenced garden with plenty of space for pets to safely roam and enjoy themselves. I also have a female, friendly Shih Tzu named Paris, who is very sociable with other dogs and is also comfortable around cats, as she has lived alongside my two tabby cats. My cats are generally independent and often spend time outdoors in the neighbourhood or relaxing in their own space indoors, so visiting pets are able to have a calm and low-stress environment. I always ensure any pets in my care are introduced slowly and safely where needed, and I prioritise their comfort and wellbeing at all times.

Ho Ting was fantastic with our two cats. She ensured that they were both well cared for with lots of treats and cuddles to keep them calm and happy. She gave us frequent updates that clearly showed her love of animals. I would recommend you hire Ho Ting to look after your pets.
Susanna has become our go to sitter when we are planning holidays. She’s so great with animals and leaves house spotless. She’s great at following instructions and made sure animals are all pampered with frozen treats throughout the heatwave. I can’t recommend her enough as it is so difficult to find someone you can truly trust on the app, it makes leaving our beloved pets so much easier.

Nicole did an amazing job caring for our cat. I’ve never seen her so charmed by another person before! She even slept on the foot of Nicole’s bed! Our cat received the best care, it was very clear she’d been groomed/combed, fed well, and played with. We received regular updates and photo/videos over the duration of our trip. And when we returned home, Nicole had cleaned it even better than the cleaner we had hired two days before we left for our vacation! If you are in need of a caring, attentive, kind sitter for your pet, look no further than Nicole.

It has been a very positive first experience with Şansel! I reached out to her ahead of a two and a half week summer holiday. She was very responsive, and kindly came to see us ahead of time so we could introduce her to Camomille and go through her routines. Camo immediately warmed up to her. During our trip, she sent lots of pictures and daily updates, which we found very helpful as we always miss Camo when we’re away. We came back to a sparkling clean and tidy flat, and a relaxed and purring Camomille. We will book Şansel again, and recommend her to other cat parents!

Kelly was incredibly kind and gentle with Wasabi. Wasabi had a wonderful time with her, and it was clear that Kelly is reliable, caring, and attentive. We felt completely at ease knowing Wasabi was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking with Kelly again!

Addison came to look after our 2 cats and our dog in our home for the evening. She was incredibly affectionate with them all, super friendly and kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and messages! She even got our very nervous cat to come down for a cuddle and sent a gorgeous report card to summarise their stay which was a lovely touch. Addison clearly has a way with animals and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for some loving care for their pets! :)

Khushi looked after our dog for the day and we had a great experience. She was kind, reliable, and clearly very caring with animals. We came back to a very happy and relaxed dog. We felt completely at ease and would happily trust Khushi again in the future. Highly recommended!

Annie has been great looking after Zeus! Communication was great and she made sure she followed Zeus’s routine and sent lots of pictures throughout the day. The communication beforehand was great as well - making sure we felt comfortable before the handover! Would recommend Annie! Thank you!

Karly was a great sitter! One of those people you can just tell loves cats! Our boy is very clingy, but when we came home he barely even glanced at us, which is a sure sign that Karly gave him all the attention and love he needed while we were away (and he needs a lot!). She really went the extra mile with his care and was super helpful with things like bins and mail, asked clarifying questions about his care, sent regular updates and pictures, and left the house exactly as it was when she arrived. We also have catcams and she was very fine with them remaining on the whole time we were away, which I think really says good things about her trustworthiness. Very responsible and trustworthy, I definitely recommend her as your next catsitter!

Faith was a phenomenal sitter for us and took exceptional care of Ophelia. Prior to the booking, Faith took the time to properly understand Ophelia's needs, play style, and overall well-being. Throughout the week, she provided daily updates and even helped Ophelia develop better habits—like sitting patiently while her dinner is prepared—which is something we’ve struggled with in the past. She even taught her new tricks that we are looking forward to practicing! We absolutely loved Faith's care and attention to Ophelia's needs, as well as her understanding of our communication style while we were away. It gave us total peace of mind during our first holiday apart from her. We would absolutely recommend Faith to any pet owners seeking a knowledgeable and caring sitter who treats your pet like their own. Thank you so much, Faith; we came home to a happy, playful cat who truly enjoyed the time she spent with you.
