“Janet has been an absolute lifesaver for my blind beagle, Millie! From day one, she has been incredibly calming, attentive, and patient, making sure Millie feels safe and comfortable and enjoys every walk. Her reliability and genuine care give me total peace of mind, knowing Millie is in the best hands. It’s clear she truly loves what she does, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found her. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker, Janet is the best! Highly recommend!”


3. Hira N.
“Hira is FANTASTIC! I can't recommend her enough to look after your loved ones. From the get go my first impressions were that she was a friendly and caring person when I met her. You can tell she really has a soft spot for animals and really wants to make sure they're happy. She keeps you well updated which is also a great bonus! She sent us pictures of our cats having fun when me and my wife went away. I hope she will always be available to cat sit for us when we go on more holidays. Keep up the great work!”

“We feel incredibly lucky to have found our amazing dog sitter! Nell absolutely adores her – the excitement she shows when she arrives says it all. Whether it's an overnight stay, a weekend trip, or a longer holiday, we know Nell is in the best hands. We come back to a happy, relaxed, and clearly loved dog. Not only does she take exceptional care of Nell, but she also leaves our home spotless and always keeps us updated with messages and photos, which brings such peace of mind when we’re away. It's such a relief to know our dog (and house!) are so well looked after. We couldn't recommend her more highly!”

About: I grew up with a dog in India, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I have around 3 years of experience feeding, walking, and bathing dogs — and I’ve helped friends with their pets here in the UK as well. Whether it’s daily walks or just giving dogs some love and attention, I’m reliable, calm, and always happy to help I am currently working Monday-Thursday from home soI can take the dogs during morning and evening also in the afternoon for around 20-30 minutes. And during weekends I am fully available except on Friday. always make sure dogs feel safe and comfortable in my care. I follow the owner’s instructions closely and pay attention to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just keeping them company, I create a calm and caring environment. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home where they feel most relaxed.

“Xavier is a naturally loving and dedicated animal caregiver with a calm but fun and reliable presence . He helped care for our family dogs, Bramble and Teal, with patience, warmth and playfulness. From a young age, he’s always had a deep connection with animals and even dreamed of becoming a zookeeper one day. Anyone would be lucky to have Xavier look after their dog—he brings genuine love, attention, fun and calm care to every animal he meets.”

11. Louise Y.

“Louise is great! I’ve had my dog, Lola, since she was a puppy and she’s now 9 years old. She’s never had a sitter before and I had no idea how it all worked but Louise was great at explaining what’s involved and provided lots of reassurance. She came to see Lola twice and took her on some lovely walks, fed her and played with her and provided some great quality photos and videos. Lola had a great time with Louise and I’ll definitely be using Louise again! ☺️”

13. Amy R.
About: All dogs will be given plenty of exercise throughout the day as I love my walks and outside too! All day of fun and playing! Monday - Friday I can walk dogs from 6:30pm-8pm. Weekends I can pet sit from Friday at 6pm- Sunday 9pm. Weekends are more flexible from am-pm. I will offer them water and treats. Pet food will need to be supplied by the owner and familiar toys. I am happy for pets to sit on my couch/bed and share my home.

“Karla is a great friend of mine and in the time we’ve been friends I’ve truly seen what a great dog Mum she is! She treats her gorgeous Cooper like royalty.. from taking him on the best adventures, giving yummy treats and the best cuddles! I myself also have a Labrador and I wouldn’t trust anyone more than Karla to look after my baby! Your fur baby will get nothing but unconditional love, care and fun in Karla’s hands. Highly recommend!”
