6. Kerith W.

“Another fun weekend with Kerith. As soon as I let her out of the car, Dotty realised where she was and ran round to the back door to invite herself in! On my return I was met by a very happy pup who had been on another bus trip, Studland this time. She slept really well that night. It took the stress out of the weekend, knowing that Dotty was in good hands. Thanks Kerith 😊”


7. Alicia M.
“Alicia was soo lovely & accommodating! Bear is a fairly shy dog but he was made to feel @ home and from the daily videos was quickly calmed and made to feel at home. He has had several stays there since, thank you so much as always Ali.. and Ofcourse Chris! X Maggie 🦮🐾”


8. Sarah B.

“Sarah looked after our staffie x American bully while we were away camping. Benji can be quite anxious, hyperactive and can be a bit of a handful. She set up a meeting prior to the sit so we could meet her and discuss Benji's routine. She stayed in touch the whole weekend and sent us updates and pictures which put our minds at ease. Benji was very settled when we got home and Sarah left the house clean and tidy. We would reccomend Sarah 10 times over. Thank you so much 🥰”

“If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and compassionate pet sitter or dog walker, look no further than Lucia .

She’s attentive to their needs, patient, and has an amazing ability to make even the shyest pets feel comfortable. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or simply ensuring pets feel safe and loved while their humans are away, Lucia goes above and beyond every time. Her trustworthiness and dedication are unmatched. I can confidently say she’s someone you can depend on to care for your furry family members as much as you do. Pet parents, you and your pets are in the best hands with Lucia!”

17. Nicole O.
About: I often look after a chihuahua for a family friend. I also had a family dog when I was five (it was a shitzu). I'm looking forward to more years of pet care experience. I'm fully flexible for pet care duties. I'm able to walk the dogs. When I start studying again it shouldn't effect my schedule. I could start as soon as possible. At home I care for the chihuahua by sticking to the routine I got him into when I first started looking after him. I feed him his food at the same times everyday and I walk him to the park and play with him in the garden. I’m doing an online course so I’m going to be at home most of the time. I would also be able to regularly walk your dog because I live near a park. I live in a 5 bedroom semi-detached house. I also have a large garden which is great for any breed. I don’t own any pets either.


18. Federica S.

“Federica has been amazing, both my dogs love her, one of whom is very nervous but she won him over within a day. Lots of love a walks were provided to both of them. Great communication while we were away which really reassured me. Federica also stayed in our house with the dogs and my house was left spotless, I would happily regularly have her back again and in fact have rebooked her for a few weeks time. Thank you very much”


19. Annelies P.
“Annelies is a friendly and caring person, she is very affectionate, kind, and amazing at looking after dogs and good at giving dogs attention and making the dog feel part of the family.”


20. Katy K.

“Katy looked after Vali SO well for an overnight stay. Vali can be a little nervous at first but Katy was brilliant with her and even taught her “paw”. Hugely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
