8. Arthur P.
“I’ve known Arthur for several years, and I can confidently say he’s one of the most trustworthy and caring people when it comes to animals. He’s looked after my dog Rosie multiple times, and every time she comes back happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. Arthur is patient, attentive to each pet’s unique needs, and genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. He always sends updates and photos, which gives me peace of mind when I'm away. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet caregiver.”


9. Anna A.
“I've never met anyone that loves & cares for animals as much as my mum. She's DOG OBSESSED! Our pets have always been treated like Kings & Queens of the castle and spoilt rotten. I couldn't think of anyone better to look after your beloved pooch. They'll have her undying attention for the entirety of the stay and feel extremely loved.”


10. Shelby M.

“I had a wonderful experience with Shelby! She was incredibly kind and gentle with my cat, which instantly put me at ease. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. She followed all instructions perfectly and went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again or recommend her to any fellow cat parents!”


11. Joana M.
About: No professional experience but I had many dogs and cats all my life ! I’m happy to spend any time with your animals and feed them From August I’ll be available after 5 pm I’m going in maternity very soon so I wanted to be able to take my baby for a walk and also work in the spare time , if you are happy I can do both during the day Homes owner , or have the pet just for a few hours during the day at home or schedule walks would be the best idea


12. Alicia G.

“Alicia was a really good sitter. She was flexible and super good with my cats. Sent me pictures and updates what’s happening with them. I’ll definitely book another time with her again.”




13. Caitlin B.
“I highly recommend Caitlin as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She has been training and caring for her 8-month-old Labrador puppy, and she is the most well-behaved and affectionate dog I have ever met. Caitlin is clearly passionate about animals, and she takes her role as a pet caregiver very seriously. She is knowledgeable about animal behavior and training, and she is always patient and understanding with her furry friends. I have seen firsthand how Caitlin interacts with her own dog, and I am confident that she would provide the same high level of care and attention to any pet in her charge. She is reliable, punctual, and communicative, and she always goes the extra mile to make sure that her pets are happy and healthy. I would not hesitate to entrust my own pet to Caitlin, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet caregiver.”


14. Ekaterina Z.

“Katie was absolutely brilliant with our cat Charlie. We were initially nervous, having never had a cat sitter we didn’t know before, but we hadn’t needed to be. We couldn’t believe how quickly our ‘nervous, little rescue cat’ warmed to her - by a few days in he was laying on his back while she tickled his belly! She also did a great job of looking after the house and kept us updated throughout. I think the cat was actually disappointed when we came home! We’d recommend Katie to anyone (especially those with anxious cats) and will definitely be using her again!”


15. Mark B.
“My dog suffered with severe anxiety issues and Mark was the only person I would trust to look after him which he did on numerous occasions. He has a great understanding of dogs , can read their body language and behaviour, and he always treated my beloved collie with supreme sensitivity patience and kindness. He has a wealth of experience with a variety of different breeds and I would not hesitate to recommend him .Thank you Mark for everything you did for my collie. You always gave me peace of mind knowing that he was safe and happy in your care .”


16. Rachael W.
About: I have spent a number of years assisting my live in landlords with walking their dogs and general maintenance (elderly staffies, and young Greek foster rescues), and have also lived in a house of 4 cats where I have had much the same role of assisting in their day to day care of feeding and looking after the animals (including kittens) whilst the owners were away. I, myself have owned parrots, including an Alexandrine, cockatiel, and many budgies over the last 15 years and very much enjoy an animal in my home, and I find this a very special bond to have and build. I have brought them up from young weened birds, trained them through to their life end. Regular vet visits, and always insured to ensure their best care is afforded. My care is not limited to dogs, cats and birds, I have previously also owned rabbits, hamsters etc., so please ask in advance if you have any other pets to look after! I live in Basingstoke, but work full time / hybrid in Bracknell 2/3 days a week. This is always pretty flexible. Whilst I am on my WFH days I can offer more frequent services. I am an ex-Special Constable of 6 years so believe I am a trustworthy person. I now volunteer for the St John’s Ambulance, so I can also work well in a crisis should one ever occur. I can conduct whatever manner of care you require, from feeding in your home, to walks and toilet breaks. Please let me know what you require, and we can discuss and you can give me notes/I can take notes if anything is more specific so nothing is missed, and you can come home to a happy healthy pet!


17. Ella E.

“She was able to commit on short notice and was liked by even the most picky of our pets. They were super happy and barely noticed we were gone. She also responded to messages in a timely manner and it really helped put our minds at ease.”


18. Laura K.

“Laura was great with Luna, I came home to happy cat that was obviously well taken care of. Laura provided pictures and updates every day and was very attentive to Luna’s behaviour and notified me of any changes.”


19. Chantelle C.

“Looked after my two skittish with strangers cats, even managed to get a picture of them both together. My trip was disrupted by Heathrow fire, and she was understanding and flexible, working around my new departure time. Boys were fed and happy, and I would use again on any future trips. Thanks for the peace of mind”


20. Xiomara V.
“Xiomara is a dedicated individual who loves animals, she is kind hearted and responsible and respectful to all things big and small. She thrives off of schedule and the outdoors and will ensure your pet is comfy and happy at all times. She is extremely safe and cautious too.”
