1. Caroline R.

“Caroline spent a week housesitting whilst taking care of my Bulldog Mabel. She provided constant updates in video and photo form and I could see from these how happy and comfortable Mabel was in her presence. We came home to a super tidy house, fresh sheets and a well loved and cared for dog. Mabel can’t wait to see her again soon and I am so pleased to have someone I trust to leave my third child in the hands of ❤️”


2. Hannah F.
“I highly recommend Hannah for dog walking/pet care. She is responsible and reliable with a gentle but firm manner with our dog. She is punctual and honest and always happy to help last minute if I’m stuck. I value her services so much and always know that my dog is well looked after and well loved.”


3. Domiziana R.

“Dom was great! Arrived exactly when she said she would, sent us update pictures and left a very happy kitty in our house.”


4. Jess S.
“Jess is a kind and caring young person. She has a genuine interest in animals. She is has never had a negative experience with animals. Due to her calm nature animals seem to respond well to her presence and any instructions given. Jess likes the outdoors and enjoys city and countryside walks.”


5. Emily E.

“Emily was the perfect dog sitter who agreed to come to our home for a whole day and look after our young spaniel. She sent us lots of updates and pictures, and allowed us to feel relaxed while visiting friends outside of London. Will definitely ask Emily to help out again!”


6. Ana G.

“Ana was fantastic from start to finish. She was very easy to communicate with. She was very reliable, sent me lots of pictures of my cat throughout to keep me updated and overall a pleasure to deal with!”


7. Clotilde M.

“Clotilde, was amazing looking after our 3 dogs. They absolutely loved her.”


8. Iona M.
“Iona walked my dogs regularly in her last few years of school, and both of them LOVED her. She has an energy that dogs really relate to and she makes them feel safe- even my 'nervous' dog who would usually take ages to warm to strangers loved her immediately. She is confident and lets the dogs know she is boss, and she obviously absolutely loves them. There were a couple of times she was unable to walk them and she let me know in plenty of time so I was able to make alternative arrangements. I wish she still lived nearby as both my dogs (and I) miss her. I highly recommend her as a responsible and loving dog caregiver.”


9. Nefeli K.
“Nef took such wonderful care of my two small pups while I was away! She was attentive, responsive, super clean, and made sure my pups were given plenty of love. It was clear my dogs felt comfortable and happy in their care. I also appreciated the regular updates, which gave me peace of mind. I would absolutely trust Nefelie again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”


10. Ella B.

“Ella has been simply amazing with my Olimpia! She pet sitted her for 2 weeks, looking after her with love and kind heart, while ensuring the right level of excercise for a Vizsla! She's 100% reliable and provide constant updates. So grateful I've met her!”


11. Massimo F.
“My beloved chihuahua, Chilli, is nearly 13 years old and I’m incredibly fussy with whom I choose to look after him. Massimo is always my first choice. When he meets your dog it’s immediately obvious that he is a genuine dog lover and cares about every aspect of their well-being. Your dog will sense it too, which always says it all!”


12. Abigail G.
“Abigail is a responsible and loving person who truly cares for animals. I've seen her interact with pets and she’s always patient, attentive, and kind. As well as loving and caring. I’m confident she’d be an excellent caregiver for any pet.”


13. Leila I.

“Zeus was very happy!”




14. Madi M.

“This was Madi’s second stay with our pups and we will continue to book with her for upcoming trips. Our pups had such a great time - we could tell by all of the wonderful photos and videos she sent while we were away! On top of taking great care of the dogs, she also took wonderful care of our home. Everything was perfectly clean when we arrived, and she even did poop patrol in the back yard! Such a rock star! We love Madi! ❤️”


15. Charli J.
“Charli looked after our cat, Bean, for 2 weeks - staying at our place. It was the first time in 14 years that Bean really couldn't care less when we returned - a testament to how happy and content he had been for the previous two weeks! Charli was caring, diligent, great at sending us updates and left our place immaculate with a happy, content and very satisfied kitty. Thank you Charli! x”


16. Oriana Del Carmen L.

“Great with my shy dog, friendly, punctual, courteous. Great!”


17. Janice C.
“Janice is an exceptional pet carer! Their dedication, love, and attention to detail are unmatched. My pet was happy, safe and well-cared for. Highly recommend their services to any pet owner! 5/5 Stars!”


18. Rosie C.
“Rosie looked after our Bearded Collie for a week. She was very diligent in feeding, providing daily medication and providing exercise. When we got back from holiday our house was spotless, our dog was very contented and we were delighted! I would recommend Rosie to anyone.”


19. Alice D.

“Alice and Oli saved my summer holidays. I had booked a house sitter that cancelled on me at the last minute. Alice was quick to reply to my announcement on Rover. We spoke on the phone and then her and Oli came to my house to see my dog : a Hungarian Vizsla. Alice and Oli were very friendly and my dog warmed up yo them immediately. During my two weeks away, they sent me daily pictures and videos of our dog enjoying his daily walks. When we came back, they brought our dog back to us and i could tell he was very happy and very well looked after. I really recommend Alice and would use her services again.”
