3. Savanna C.

“Savanna was great, helped me out last minute and took such great care of my cat while I was away, took the time to feed, fuss and play with him. Great communication, regular updates and always a picture or two to show me what he was up to. Would definitely book again!”


4. Amy G.

“Amy dropped in to see our cat Mitsy and spend a little time with her whilst we were away. Amy is very conscientious, sent us updates and photos which is reassuring and lovely to see. We've already booked her in for our next holiday. Thanks Amy :)”


5. Linda J.

“We booked Linda to do drop ins on our elderly cat Honey while we were away for a week, she was able to do it at short notice and we had no issues at all. You can tell she loves animals and looks after them well. We had photos and an update each time she visited and could see that our cat was content and cared for, and she looked so happy to see her in the photos we were sent.. I genuinely think she will be missed! Honey had her medicine administered at each visit and was given lots of love and attention, we came home to find everything in order and any instructions followed, and with a happy cat, which is the most anyone could ask for ☺️ Linda is such a lovely, caring person and was an absolute joy to be in contact with, you can feel her love for all things small and fuzzy! I highly recommend Linda and want to thank her again for putting our minds at ease and for making each visit special 🥰❤️🙏”


6. Klaudia S.

“Klaudia did an amazing job looking after our boys (who are highly spoilt) at such short notice. We loved the photos and videos she sent. Klaudia comes highly recommended and we will definitely be asking her to look after our boys again.”


7. Daisy J.
About: I have regularly looked after my family pets or friends of the family’s pets. I thoroughly enjoy long walks with the company of a furry friend. I will always find a fun game or new location to make the walk more exciting! I am currently a University student with a timetable of 2 days a week. This may vary with deadlines and exams. Dog alks will be a lovely break from sitting studying. I live in a shared house all pet lovers and a fenced garden. There is a lot of space for dog or cat beds and a lovely big garden.


8. Emily & Leigh M.

“Emily was amazing! She was so kind, caring and understanding. I will definitely be using her again. She even went the extra mile to clean and feed the parrot. She sent me lovely videos making me feel reassured whilst I was away. Thank you for looking after puss puss and arcoo xxx”


9. Hazel T.

10. Bethany B.
“Bethany is great with dogs, and pets all round! Has been very patient with my reactive dog, and she adapts care well to the dog’s specific needs.”
11. Megan G.
About: I have had 2 different dogs from the age of 5 years old making me very comfortable and understanding around dogs. I want to respect what is best for your dog and their individual needs. I have been dog sitting for the last 3 years, having looked after big and small dogs with many different personalities! I am currently on a long summer holiday after the past year at uni, so I have a lot of availability including weekdays and weekends with a flexible schedule! I want to do what is best for your pet and respect your home. I will make sure to be respectful to your wishes and want to do everything I can to make your dog feel safe and to make you feel comfortable with your pet in my care :)


12. Iris D.
“Iris pet sat for my 5 cats multiple times during the summer, and have been a constant go to when I needed for the last 2 years, they are courteous of your house and belongings they follow instructions well and offer a personalised service for every pet they sit, they took the time to learn about all my cats and earn the trust of them all. They ensured they were fed and litter trays were clean to my preference, they also ensured the cats had positive stimulation and were loved as thier own. I would highly recommend Iris for any pet sitting responsibilities, if you want your pets loved and cared for by someone who genuinely cares you can trust Iris.”


13. Jade G.
“Jade provided wonderful care for my dog, Barkley, a Spaniel Jack Russell Cross. She showed incredible patience and a truly caring nature while looking after him, making sure he felt comfortable, loved, and well-exercised. It was clear that she went above and beyond to ensure his happiness and well-being. Jade is also a talented photographer (Jade In Frame Photography), so I commissioned her to take some photos of Barkley during his stay. The pictures turned out beautifully, and I had them printed and framed as a special keepsake. I would highly recommend Jade!”


14. Katy K.

“Katy gave Oisìn another fun walk and was incredibly patient with me as I struggled with the Rover website. I trust her with my furry babies and that's my highest compliment. I would highly recommend others to use her services. 5 star!”
15. Isabelle E.
“Isabelle is truly wonderful with our dogs! We have an older Labrador and a young, energetic terrier mix—quite the duo! Izzy accommodates both of them with such care, patience, and skill. Our Lab needs a slower pace and has a few medical issues while the terrier is always ready to zoom while being very emotionally needy. Isabelle somehow manages to meet both their needs perfectly. We get regular updates and photos, and it's clear our dogs adore their time with her. She walks them regularly for us and has also stayed for longer sits......we are a very chaotic household and Izzy is always understanding and respectful and keeps our home beautiful. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful dog walker/sitter.”


16. Deborah H.
About: Hi, I'm Debs. My experience with dogs started at a very young age. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats and I just love being with them and taking them out for walks, in all weather!! Rain or shine we're out enjoying walks in parks or at the beach. I'm very lucky to be a stay at home mum, which means I can be very flexible for your pet's needs. All my children are school age, and when they're home they love to be around the pets too. For dogs who are either boarding or staying for day care, our house has a fenced garden for them to play in safely. We live near two parks and a heath for walks. For dog walking, I have a car and am able to collect and return your pup after our walk. For Drop ins, I will spend all of the 30 minutes with your pet. Whether they need feeding, play time, letting out in the garden for a wee break, they will have my undivided attention. All services will be carried out with love and care, as well as me following any routines and schedules that you have for your pets.


17. Katie M.
“I've known Katie for years as a friend and colleague, she is a very caring and responsible person and she lights up around dogs! I have trusted her to look after my dog Lucy, who loves spending time with Katie. I've seen her looking after other dogs and she is always attentive to their specific needs and gives lots of care and cuddles. I believe your dog would be in safe hands with Katie.”


18. Teigan H.
“Teigan is the perfect person to look after your pet, she is reliable, caring, loving and would always ensure that your pet is treated the best. When she is with my dog my dog doesn’t leave her side, she always takes time to give her a cuddle. Teigan has an experience with her own dog as well which i would say is one of the happiest pets i’ve seen. If you left your pet in the hands of teigan they would have the time of their life, long walks, play session and even cuddle and sleep session. Anything your pet needs teigan will do it.”


19. Imogen B.
“Imogen is a kind and caring person, she absolutely adores dogs and is well versed in caring for them. When out on walks or sat down having a coffee she is always on the look out for dogs so she might have a stroke or a quick gaze at their cuteness. Imi has grew up with dogs in her family and is often taking her parents dogs for walks when she goes back to the family home in North Dorset. I have taken my own families dogs on walks with Imi and would feel comfortable and confident that she would be able to care and walk the dogs if we wanted to leave them in her care.”


20. Chloe W.
“I've found Chloe to be trustworthy, always on time and caring. She goes out in all weathers and she is very responsible especially when it comes to animals.”
