Crystal was fantastic, arrived on time as per our booking and Dylan was happy to see her again after meeting him in the week. We were away for approx 8 hours and Crystal kept us updated on how he was. She fed him his evening meal and when we got back although Dylan was happy to see us he didn’t make the usual fuss as he had company all day. Already booked Crystal for another stay, she’s great.

Shelley looked after my two dogs in our home beautifully. We have a high energy spaniel and a highly needy sausage dog! She kept in touch with regular updates, pictures and videos and they seem extremely happy and well cared for on our return home! Our house was more tidy when we got home than when we left! Thank you so much Shelley for making our holiday completely stress free, we can’t recommend you highly enough ☺️🌟

Josh has looked after our dog and puppy a few times now, he has been amazing with them and we always come back to happy doggos. Our puppy is still very young so is a handful but he has always attended to all her needs - we highly recommend him

It was great to meet Sandra & Ivor and our dogs and cats seemed to be very happy with Ivor house-sitting to look after them. Everything was left tidily in the house and all went smoothly. We were most grateful, especially as it was a fairly short notice booking. It was good to receive regular update photos and news whilst we were away.

Tara was a fantastic house & dog sitter. She updated me frequently with lots of photos and I could tell my dog had quickly settled with her which was great and reassuring. It was also good to know that the house was being well looked after during one of the coldest months of the year. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again! Thank you Tara 🥰

We highly recommended Katherine. She is calm and communicative, responsible and efficient. Katherine arrived on time for a handover, and our dogs immediately fell for her charms! All instruction was followed, with regular photo updates while we were out. We arrived home to two very contented doggos. We couldn't ask for better, and Katherine will definitely be on our short list for future sitters.

Anna looked after our English Bulldog puppy for four nights in our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. From the moment she arrived, she was warm, engaging, and fantastic with our dog. He’s still a playful, strong puppy, but Anna handled him with ease and confidence. She has such a lovely, calming presence, which put both us and our dog at ease straight away. Every instruction we left was followed perfectly, and during an extremely hot spell of weather, she used her initiative and made all the right decisions to ensure our dog’s comfort and wellbeing. Knowing he was in such capable hands allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. We received plenty of photos and updates throughout, which we really appreciated. When we experienced unexpected last-minute delays returning home, Anna was an absolute star and went back to feed our dog without a moment’s hesitation. As if that wasn’t enough, our home was left spotless and exactly as we had left it. We are incredibly grateful to Anna for everything she did. She went above and beyond in every way, and we have no hesitation in saying that she is now our dog sitter for life. Highly recommended! 🐾🤎

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life, and regularly look after friends and families pets. I know how nervous a lot of pets can be if they have to go into a kennel/cattery and so i enjoy providing flexible pet sitting where they can stay in the comfort of their own/my home. As well as feeding your pets, ensuring they have plenty of water, emptying the litter tray/taking them out for loo breaks, I will also play with/walk them, fuss them, brush them and administer any required medicine. I will also gladly send regular updates/pictures to let you know how they are doing as I know how much I worry when I’m away! I work full time but am able to work hybrid and so I can make plenty of time to care for your pet(s). I drive and have my own car so can easily get to and from pet sitting jobs and on short notice. I am also available for boarding (cats only) on weekends. I will always ensure your pet is well fed, watered, taken for loo breaks/cat litter emptied, fussed and played with. I will gladly spend time with them and administer any medication they may require. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac away from roads and noise. I have a private fenced garden with woods behind it which provides plenty of bird watching opportunities for cats! I have two friendly cats which can keep yours company, and I also have a spare bedroom which is kitted out with beds, blankets, scratch post and toys etc. so the cats can be kept separate if needed.

About: I’m a huge animal lover with a home full of furry personalities, including my own gentle giant and three other four-legged companions; chaos, cuddles, and muddy paws are all part of daily life! I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. From bouncy puppies who want to play all day, to older dogs who prefer a slower stroll and a bit of extra care, I’m confident adapting to each pet’s needs, whether it’s tiny lap dogs or big lovable beasts. I also have experience looking after cats, so I’m more than happy to care for your feline friends too, whether they want constant attention or just someone to respectfully exist in their space! Expect lots of love, attention, updates, and probably a few extra cuddles along the way. I treat every pet like one of my own. I work from home, which means I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, company, and care throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available for pet sitting, drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays during the week as well as weekends. Animals are already a huge part of my everyday life, so caring for pets naturally fits into my routine. I’m used to early morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication routines, and all the muddy paws and cuddles that come with it! Because I’m home-based, I can easily adapt my day around each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s regular toilet breaks for puppies, slower-paced walks for senior dogs, or simply providing companionship and reassurance for pets who don’t like being left alone. I always make sure pets get lots of love, attention, exercise, and consistency while keeping owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. While I’m unable to board pets in my own home, I’m very happy to care for pets in their familiar environment where they feel most comfortable and secure. I always aim to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, training, medication, and bedtime habits. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I adapt my care to suit each individual pet. This includes: Walks tailored to a dog’s age, energy level, and mobility Supporting older dogs who may need slower walks, mobility assistance, or medication Caring for puppies and reinforcing training routines, toilet breaks, and positive habits Providing calm, patient care for nervous or anxious pets Taking pets to appointments if needed Giving cats attention on their own terms, whether they love affection or prefer quiet company I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I’ve owned both cats and dogs growing up, and have completed a veterinary degree so am very comfortable to look after all animals no matter their needs. I have a break from university before I start my job in Autumn, so fitting an animal into my schedule would be extremely easy and I would b le able to give them my full attention. I have a fenced garden and secure house, and am able to provide any needs for your animals that you would want, and would also want to get to know what boundaries you like to set with your dog so that I can follow them at all times.

Georgia and her family were absolutely fantastic! I could not have wished for a better sitter to leave my beloved Duke with. He had so much exercise and received a lot of love and attention. I would not hesitate to recommend Georgia to any dog owner. She went above and beyond! Thank you Georgia. Duke looks forward to staying with you again in the future. 😃

Our mini dachshunds had a great day with Jessica! They don't usually trust anyone other than us, they're uber sensitive which can be hard work sometimes. But we came home to two exhausted and calm pups. She sent us some brilliant pictures throughout the day and updates and it was very stress free for us :) Pippa and Clint had a fun filled day and are looking forward to seeing her again soon!

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life. I grew up rescuing stray dogs and giving them a safe place, food and love. Over the years I have cared for many different breeds, from small playful dogs to large strong ones. I am calm, patient and attentive to every dog’s personality and needs. For me dogs are not just pets – they are family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and being active outdoors. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate proper time and attention to each pet I care for. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings when needed. When I look after a pet, I make sure they receive enough exercise, attention, and companionship. I never rush walks and always adapt the time and activity to the dog’s needs and energy level. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I treat every dog as if it were my own. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and properly supervised at all times. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and any instructions given by the owner so they feel secure and relaxed. Even though I live in an apartment, I make sure dogs receive plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and fresh air through regular walks and visits to nearby parks. I keep a calm and clean environment and always focus on building trust with both pets and their owners.

Ally and Steven looked after our rescue dog Koda for a long weekend whilst we were away. This was the first time that we have left him and it was an amazing experience. Koda loved them both and within a few hours of us leaving he was having cuddles on the sofa. They really looked after him and left the house spotless and their communication whilst we were away was perfect and enabled us to relax and join our holiday knowing Koda was being looked after really well. Will definitely be rebooking with them. Thank you so much for making our first trip away such a success.

I will be recommending Maja to all of our friends and family, we will be booking with Maja again soon.

Paddy has been wonderful! He spent 7 days with Hermes and Lucy and they both loved their time with him! They were very relaxed and happy to be going for walks, have play time, and just hang out with him. Paddy was great at communicating with us and giving us updates and photos/videos of how everyone's doing. I would highly recommend Paddy to anyone looking for a reliable, caring individual to look after their pets. He also looked after our house and left everything very neat and tidy. Thanks Paddy!
