“Parker is contently sleeping away after his stay with Emma and Cody. Emma was amazing with Parker from his meet and greet to the updates sent through while he stayed with her”


“I’ll be loath to leave Sonny Jim with anyone else after Simon! He’s a gem who clearly adores dogs and looked after Sonny Jim as if he was his own. Sonny Jim is a large, strong lurcher, who can be lungey meeting other dogs on the lead. As such, he needs a strong, confident handler and I am very careful about who I leave him with but Simon found him no bother out and about. He’d give Cesar Milan a run for his money in the dog whispering stakes! Simon sent lots of pics of Sonny living his best life, lounging around & enjoying lots of pets, with plenty of his beloved late dog Chester’s toys to keep him entertained. The garden is also a bonus. Simon was a dream to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble, even when I was late collecting Sonny Jim, who came home a very happy hound indeed. I cannot recommend Simon highly enough. His wee dog Chester’s happy face smiles from umpteen photos adorning the walls and shelves of his cosy home. With such a super doggie dad spoiling him rotten, ‘tis no surprise Chester lived until the grand old age of 17! 🐶 Thanks a mill Simon! Michelle & Sonny Jim”


“Larry had the most wonderful time on his holiday with Nicole, Ronan and especially little Fiadh! Couldn’t recommend more to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter with an extra bonus friend! 🖤”


“Leah was brilliant with Vinnie kept me updated through the day with loads of pictures of Vinnie having a great time with his new friends this made me very comfortable knowing Vinnie was in good hands . I would book Leah again and recommend her to my friends .”


“Anna Rose was a fabulous sitter for my dog Charlie. Charlie is an elderly dog, who is completely blind and also requires medication - all of which Anna Rose handled with ease. Anna Rose followed all care instructions, was responsive to Charlie's needs, and made sure to check regarding anything she was unsure of. She also sent lots of updates and pictures to make sure my mind was at ease, and left the house absolutely spotless upon departure! Charlie was perfectly calm when we returned (as if we had never been gone) so I can confidently say he had a great time! Anna Rose was a fabulous sitter - I would definitely rebook her services and recommend to anyone considering her.”


“Holly is an excellent dog sitter; she is just lovely and on first meeting you would know she loves dogs. Wilbur had a great time staying at her house and Holly kept us updated with lots of very happy dog photos. I'd highly recommend Holly, she took great care of Wilbur & was super communicating with us throughout. Thank you so much Holly! 😀”


“Winnie had an amazing time at Maeve’a house with her golden retriever, Wrigley. Maeve kept me updated on how Winnie was doing (including pictures and videos!) and so I was more than reassured that she was in good hands, and she looked so happy and content! Thank you again Maeve for looking after Winnie, and at such short notice. Would 100% use Maeve again for future bookings.”


“We left our dog with Elaine for 6 nights. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Elaine and her family. From the very first meeting, it was clear Elaine loved animals and was incredibly responsible, attentive and trustworthy. We knew we were leaving our pup in great hands. Throughout the stay, we received regular updates and photos. It was such a relief to know that Margarita was not just cared for, but truly loved while we were away. If you’re looking for someone dependable, communicative, and full of heart - look no further. Elaine is an absolute gem, and we will hopefully use her dog sitting service again. Absolutely outstanding dog sitter.”


“Rocky had a great time and was really well looked after during his stay. Lots of good walks and Natalie sent loads of great photos to let us know how he was getting on. Would definitely recommend.”


“Samuel and Toby minded Piper for 8 days whilst I was on holiday. Safe to say I 100% will be rebooking again if and when I need Piper minded. Toby and Piper became the best of friends and the care that Samuel gave Piper was outstanding. I had photos and videos sent multiple times every day which helped with my anxiety of leaving Piper! Definitely recommend using Samuel and Toby!!!”


About: Although I don’t have a dog of my own my family does and I have gained experience caring for them! I’ll provide your dog with the attention and care they need :) I’m currently working another job but only for a few hours at a time so I have plenty of time to give your pups walks, playtime and attention🩵I work evenings for around 4 hours and some days I work 2-3 hours in the mornings Monday through Friday 😊 I have a fenced garden at home for safe outdoor play. Wether at my home or yours I will make sure they feel comfortable and stick to routine in a clean environment:) 🐾

“Isla was absolutely amazing with my pet. She looked after my 1.5 year beagle for 2 days inc overnights. Regular updates were sent showing peanut (my dog) was in loving safe hands. I cannot recommend Isla enough to mind your pet. I will be booking again with her.”


About: I'm a lifelong cat lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for furry friends. I grew up with my own cat, Fluffy, and later shared homes with two wonderful cats, Moggi and Elle. I've also looked after my dad’s cat and my sister’s dog many times, so I'm comfortable with pets of all kinds. I know every cat is unique, and I’ll take the time to learn your cat’s quirks and tailor my care to suit their needs. Whether it’s playtime, quiet company, or special routines, your cat will be in safe and loving hands I work full time, but I have two days off each week and free evenings, which I love spending with animals. Whether it’s popping in for cuddles, feeding, or just keeping your cat company, I’m happy to give them the attention they need while you’re away. While I don’t have a cat of my own right now, that just means your cat will have the run of the house when they stay with me! Whether they love curling up on the couch, snoozing in bed, or exploring new corners, they’ll have a calm, cozy space to relax in, plus plenty of cuddles and attention whenever they want it.
