“Charlotte really helped us out with a last-minute booking, she’s reliable, good with communication/photos and Ernie was really tired out and happy after she looked after him.”


“Suriani is a genuine animal lover and was great with our rescue staffie Nessie. She kindly agreed to meet Nessie beforehand to learn about her specific needs and was very communicative all throughout. I would 100% recommend her!”


“Excellent dogsitter! Would recommend. We have asked Kerry a few times now to house and dog sit for us for the day, and she has always done a brilliant job. We get updates each time via the app on how things are going.”


“I'm pretty sure Munchkin had a great time with Rowan - he looked very happy when I got home. Rowan was also super responsive, replied to all messages very quickly. Thank you again!”


“Catherine has been a fantastic dog sitter for us whilst we’ve been on holiday- she has been so accommodating and understanding, really responsive and sent lots of great photos of our dog Bonnie. When you’re away it’s important to feel like your dog is in safe hands and that’s how we’ve felt the whole time with Catherine!”


“Julia was amazing with my little dog Pops. He is quite an anxious little guy but he got on with Julia straight away and she put a lot of time into making sure he was settled. She was also amazing at giving me updates on how he was doing and sent photos frequently which was very much appreciated. I really hope Julia is available next time I am away as she really was excellent”


“I can't thank Diya enough for the way she looked after Pops. She spent a lot of time beforehand going through Pops' needs and also gave me regular updates while she was with him, including photos which I really appreciated. Diya was so conscientious when it came to looking after Pops and giving him the best care and I would love to have her look after him again as it is clear that she really cares about animals. Thanks so much Diya x”


“We'd like to thank Izzy for looking after our three dogs and our home so well. They weren't all that excited to see us when we returned which is always a sign that they enjoyed being looked after by someone else. Thanks again, Izzy.”


“Isobel stepped in at the last minute to take care of my two dogs. She was amazing with them and all their specific health/food requirements, sent lots of photos and took great care of the house too. I will definitely be booking with her again and strongly recommend her as a pet/house sitter.”


“Amanda is fabulous! She was available at short notice and took the time to come and do a meet and greet. Our GSP River is really high energy and Amanda handled him brilliantly, playing with him for hours!! Highly recommend.”


“Will looked after my dog Zara for a week while I went on holiday. He sent me regular photo updates and responded quickly to all my messages. Zara can be quite nervous around new people but Will was patient and she warmed to him quickly. Zara was happy and the house was clean and organised when I returned. I would certiainly recommend Will to anyone looking for a house sitter, he is very friendly and has a great love for dogs.”


“Highly recommend Sammie. She was great with my 35kg dog with puppy energy and bounciness. She looked after him for a long weekend and did everything from walking, feeding and caring! I came back to a happy, well walked dog and a clean house! Thank you”


“Abi is amazing! She day-sat our 2 year old Labrador Retriever Tony and he had a great time. She kept us updated throughout the day with photos, gave him lots of walks and kept him entertained. We came back to a really happy Tony! We'd definitely recommend Abi and book her again as she has a lovely calm presence about her, which was great for our adolescent dog!”


“Martin was great in terms of understanding an adopted dog that can be reactive to other people amd other dogs sometimes. He understands a larger dogs nature and was able to keep me updated on his progress and how he got on. It was lovely to see how he managed him and will book again :) so thank you.”


About: I always have had animals around since at my parents had garden and love for animals. We had a tortoise, some hamsters, a rabbit, chicken and duck. Also some birds were staying in summer! But the most I have learned has been from Shana, we were together 14 years and was the best doggy ever! I can pet dogs after work. What it means at 1700. And also I take care of the animal just moving in the house for the time needed when humans are travelling. I do prefer to go to pet owner-s home since then I my furniture stays out of damage! haha No but I think its always better for animals. I like to meet before in a park and play together. Then I am an active person, who likes to take the animal involved in daily living as much as possible. I try to train them, like doing long walks, running after toys, practising obedience by cycling with them...

About: I’ve taken care of people’s dogs on an ad hoc basis over the years, especially the office dogs - they’re the best, playing with pets gives me a lot of joy and I like helping people out :) I work a general 9-5 in marine conservation. Occasionally I go away for a few weeks a year, but largely I’m in Bristol all the time, having recently moved. I can work hybrid and do can fit work around pet care :) With a lot of love and play, making sure that they’ve got enough space to chill out when needed. Listen to the owner ahead of any care

“Alex is honestly the first person I always when I need someone to take care of my pet. She’s just one of those people animals naturally love. Whether it’s walking dogs, playing with them or just keeping them company, she’s so caring. She’s super reliable too. She is super responsible and I have seen how much she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. If you’re looking for someone who’ll treat your pet like family, Alex is 100% your girl!”
