Gemma looked after Tara for four days, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She was always punctual and kept me in the loop with regular updates, which was really reassuring. She took the time to play with Tara and made sure every instruction was followed to the letter. Tara was so happy and clearly found a lively, caring friend while we were away. I’m so grateful for Gemma’s thoughtful and attentive approach—we’ll definitely be using her again in the future!

Krystal was wonderful to work with. She was very communicative and made us feel very at ease that she was coming to our home to look after our cat Todd. Would highly recommend and we will be booking again.

Would highly recommend Emma as someone who to trust around your dog! She has a lot of experience with various dogs, including her own Labrador who she absolutely adores and has worked so hard in training. She has achieved the good citizen kennel club gold award with him. He’s often complimented on walks at how well behaved he is and Emma often gets asked if she is a dog trainer. As a friend in general, Emma is one of the most reliable and loyal people, great traits in a person you’d want around your own animals.

Caitlin looked after my dog while I went on vacation. She was so professional and good with our boy, she provided regular updates and photos. It was so nice to be able to enjoy my holiday knowing my dog was being looked after by Caitlin. She’s very knowledgable and I trust her to take care of my dog.

Megan has looked after our 15 year-old Lhasa Apso on several occasions, both for ‘doggy daycare’ and home boarding overnight. Megan is clearly a dedicated animal lover and an entirely reliable individual. She has been especially kind to our pet, understanding the care needs of an older animal, such as the correct amount of daily exercise and food intake. Communication has always been excellent, with regular updates and photos. I can unreservedly recommend Megan’s services.

Amazing service from Amy. My cat-Angel was very well looked after and was happy and calm when I got home. Communication was good and timely. Bonus points for cleaning up Angels’s hunting trophies. Overall, I recommend Amy and will use her again.

Mishka was amazing looking after my cat Tilly she came round to visit her first and was kind and gentle meeting her making sure she had all the information about tilly what she likes and dislikes after the first meet, She came round to look after my cat for the weekend, I received updates and pictures about Tilly every few hours so I had peace of mind she was doing okay. After I came back home everything was looked after well and Tilly was as happy as ever. Would deffo recommend 👌

I can’t recommend Laura highly enough as a dog walker and sitter! She has such a genuine love for animals, and it truly shows in the way she takes care of my Bonnie /old English bulldog . Whether it’s daily walks or longer stays, I know my pup is in the best hands. Laura is reliable, attentive, and always goes the extra mile to ensure my dog is happy, exercised, and well cared for. The updates and photos she sends during visits are such a thoughtful touch—they always brighten my day and reassure me that everything is going great. It’s such a relief to have someone trustworthy looking after my furry friend. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like family, Laura is the one to call!

About: I have had dogs growing up and I have ensured I was educated on how to train and take care of them. I know and understand their needs and I am aware of the patience and love they need. I will ensure your dog(s) feel safe and have everything they need to be happy whilst they are with me. I work from home so I can watch your pet all day before, during and after working hours. I can accommodate to your dogs needs throughout the day. I will respect your rules and dog schedule when taking care of your pet in your home. I will ensure to measure their food (I can bring my own food scale) and follow the boundaries you have set for your pet in your home in accordance to the training you have already implemented.

About: I grew up in a household filled with cats and now have two of my own. Grandparents always had dogs so also developed a love for them. My parents rely on me to take care of their elderly cat when they are away and my friends have two springers who I walk and care for too. I've had another friends 3 pups stay with me when she was away for a few days and we all had the best time! I work full time, mostly from home. I can dog walk in the day if it's nearby and can fit into a lunch hour otherwise weekends and most evenings are best. I have also recently started studying my degree which is 2 evenings a week for 8 weeks at a time. I can let you know if this will impact the dates you request as and when. I do have a fenced garden however as my two cats aren't fond of dogs I cannot accommodate dogs in my home as it would be distressing for them. When housesitting however I would be there all the time they need me, on beck and call!

Vinny looked after my beagle Finn, He is getting old bless his heart, suffering with arthritis in his back two legs and has to take medication every day. Vinny came round everyday for 3 days while I was away, I have to say she was incredible. Extremely caring of finn, helped him on the sofa every time he needed it, she fed him, gave him his medication every time without fault (even I struggle getting him to eat it some days). She gave him walks twice a day as requested. When I came back it felt like finn wasn’t really bothered because he clearly made a new friend! I can’t say thank you enough! I highly recommend Vinny.

Joseph has been a great comfort to us everytime he looks after our dogs. First the dogs LOVE him but also we have no concerns or worries while being away. Joseph sticks to the guidelines we ask, carries on with training, goes on walks, makes time for cuddles and keeps in contact as much as is needed. Couldn’t recommend anyone better!

Kirsty was brilliant with our two fickle cats whilst we were on holiday. We got daily updates and photos of our girls. We’ve come home to our girls fed and relaxed which is all we can ask for. Would absolutely rebook. Thanks Kirsty!
