“Danielle looked after our needy 10 year old staffie for a week. She obviously loves dogs and our dog seemed to love her too! She works from home and was able to spend the time with him that he's used to and that he needs. She played fetch with him and provided daily photos and updates for us where he always looked like he was loving life! Thanks Danielle, I've no doubt Rosco's looking forward to seeing you again in June xx”
2. Aaron M.
“Here's a polished version of your testimonial for Aaron: --- I recently went on holiday for two weeks, leaving my dog, Daphne, in Aaron's care. This was extremely difficult for me as I've never left her before, and I was anxious about how she would cope without my family around. Aaron went above and beyond to keep me posted every day with videos, pictures, and even FaceTime calls. To my surprise, Daphne settled with Aaron more easily than I anticipated. Aaron stayed by her side every day, ensuring she was comfortable, slept well, and was calm with lots of cuddles. Daphne was walked more times than I can count and engaged in daily play to keep her mind stimulated. I was thrilled to see that not only was she loved and cared for, but she also went on family trips nearly every day. She enjoyed visits to the beach, forest, fields, and nature walks. I cannot recommend Aaron enough. I will only trust Daphne with Aaron from now on. Honestly, Daphne means the world to me, and Aaron's care made me feel at ease. When I returned, Daphne was so happy, clean, and knot-free, with smiles all around. Thank you so much, Aaron!”

“Madelyn, is incredible. She looks after my two crazy pugs and they absolutely love her, the excitement when she arrives rival my own welcome. She follows their normal routine, ensures they get everything they need and keeps me up to date along the way. She is always on time and I’ve never had any issues. Madelyn is now and will be (until she says no) Odin and Floki’s permanent dog sitter. So glad to have found her. I would recommend her to anyone with dogs wanting a caring and well experienced dog sitter.”
4. Demi B.
“As long as ive known Demi she’s always had a passion for dogs, she’s looked after my two large Akita’s when ever I’ve needed and done a fabulous job as well as giving them a beautiful groom. Demi is super reliable, she’s one person I will always trust with my fur babies.”
5. Francesca K.
“I have known Francesca for about 5 years. She cared for and shared my horse until he died last December. We also walked the local pub dogs sometimes up to 6 Rottweilers a day. Also if I go on holiday she cares for my dog while I am away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants a pet sitter. She is very reliable and trustworthy. Regards Lynda”

7. Samantha S.
“Samantha has been brought up in a household with dogs being part of the family . When she visits us we have 2 excitable ,active German Shepherds, 1 being very reactive. Samantha is at ease with both dogs , they love her to bits, she walks them, plays with them and has taught them some commands, we think she visits to see them not us. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone to give care, walk and play with their dogs and I no worries about the welfare of their best friends”

About: Dog dad to a Crufts Competition winner. 10+ experience with dogs and their needs. Currently a dog dad to a Presa Mastiff rescue, after being passed to 5 homes through behaviour, I’m happy to say we finally cracked the code with him and defeated the cycle. Only thing that makes me go jelly in this world are dogs as they are a gift to humans. Would be happy to give yours the love it needs while you are away. I am a fire fighter so I work a 4 days on 4 days off shift with annual includes. I’ll always do my best but if it fits then it will work. Every dog is like having a 3 to 5 year old. Watch the sharp corners, don’t leave things accessible on the sides and just pay better care with what’s going on around the dog is the key. Different methods apply to different breeds and ages but sometimes all it takes is a sharp eye to maintain the dog’s safety.

About: As a passionate pet lover, my motivation to be a pet sitter stems from a deep connection and understanding of the bond between humans and animals. Growing up surrounded by various pets, I learned early on the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for furry companions. This upbringing instilled in me a profound sense of empathy and appreciation for animals of all shapes and sizes. My decision to become a pet sitter was driven by a desire to provide pet owners with peace of mind knowing their beloved companions are in capable and loving hands while they're away. I believe that pets are not just animals but cherished members of the family, deserving of the utmost care and attention. In my pet sitting services, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of each furry friend entrusted to my care. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I tailor my services to meet the unique needs and preferences of each pet. I understand that every pet has its own personality and quirks, and I am dedicated to creating a comfortable and nurturing environment where they can thrive. As a pet sitter, I approach each assignment with enthusiasm, reliability, and professionalism. I am committed to building trust-based relationships with both pets and their owners, ensuring open communication and transparency every step of the way. Above all, my passion for pet sitting stems from the joy and fulfillment I derive from spending time with animals. There is nothing quite like the unconditional love and companionship they offer, and I feel privileged to play a role in enriching their lives and strengthening the bond between pets and their owners. I provide a comprehensive range of pet care services designed to meet your specific needs, including Doggy Day Care, dog walking, house sitting, and home visits. Walks are customized to suit your dog's requirements, ranging from 20 minutes to over 2 hours, for example. Your dog will receive continuous supervision (except for brief moments when nature calls). My home, which I share with my partner and their cousin, features a cozy, fenced garden and easy access to expansive natural areas. I'm happy to travel too so not just limited to local areas. I work Monday to Friday, rotating shift pattern between 2 shifts. So I would be able to fit your companion in around my job. Weekends I don't work so would have plenty of time for them too. I have a cozy, fenced garden and easy access to expansive natural areas. I'm happy to travel too and not just limited to local areas. At my house I would treat them just like they were my own and at yours I would do the same while also treating the house with the up most respect
17. Jordan A.
“We have known Jordan for several years and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him as a carer for your beloved pets. He is a personal friend so you might think we are biased but there are very few of our friends that we would trust our pets and home with in the way we trust Jordan. He is a natural animal lover and our two dogs absolutely adore him. Jordan has stayed in our home and looked after our dogs many times when we have been on holiday or away on business. He can be totally trusted to follow care instructions, is completely reliable and has always respected our home. He is great at communication and always sends us regular photo and cute updates so that we can be reassured Sammy and Nico are happy and safe.”
18. Bex S.
“Bex was great, really friendly, flexible & accommodating. Ruby was really happy, would definitely use again.”

About: I’ve done several animal care and training qualifications, even run a doggy boot camp for reactive dogs on the weekends. Animals are just my whole wide world and always have been so this is amazing for me Uni 2 days a week but only for 2 hours at a time, in this time my equally animal obsessed dad looks after your babies making sure they are never alone When boarding I make sure all animals have their own space, not too confined so they’re not stressed but separate enough that I know there some be any mishaps, I have a big enough house and garden which they’re allowed free roam of just as they would at home, but under my supervision to should any accidents

About: I know anyone can simply say that loving and caring for animals is an easy job, but its about understanding what your animal needs in order to take care of it and allow it to feel loved. I've trained and taken care of my neighbours dog for 5 years now and he is a real good boy, he never has an issue and always seems to roll around at the feet of his favourite people. I am flexible about timing, I would prefer an evening service and I think the pets would prefer it too, other than that, every day I am yours Caring for your pet at home will be easy and fun, no matter how energetic or sleepy your pet is, Im sure we can find something to do for it at its home :)
