2. Becky B.

“I’ve booked with Becky multiple times now, and can’t recommend her enough. Very quick to respond, very communicative during the booking, and takes lots of photos. Will definitely book with again”


3. Suriani A.

“Suriani was amazing - she was very reassuring when she came to meet the cats beforehand which made me feel confident leaving them in her care. She was reliable and responsible while looking after our cats and always sent pictures. Our one cat Matilda has special needs (cerebellum hypoplasia aka she’s wobbly) and Suriani helped her use the litter and kept her clean and happy! I would recommend her to anyone.”


4. Marisa M.

“Marisa is great! Looked after our kitten over the Christmas period, communicated well, sent lovely pictures and took great care of him. Would happily book again!”


5. Charlie G.
About: Hello! My name is Charlie. My partner & I recently lost our little dog at 14 years old, and are now looking forward to taking care of yours! We’ve had dogs our whole life and are fortunate enough to be home very often. We are very active and love to go on walks/hikes, and will be very attentive to all your dogs needs. We are in the office on Tue/Wed/Thur, however come home for an hour at lunch time, so will only be away for a few hours at a time. We work from home on Monday & Friday and are at home on the weekends I have a secure, fenced outdoor area for your dog to sniff around, as well as lots of exciting walks nearby. We can also crate your furry friend if necessary and will ensure they have the best time, whilst also following all of your rules!


6. Abi C.


“Abi responded to our enquiry about a drop in walk at the last minute, the service she provides is 10/10. Quick replies, polite & punctual. Willow absolutely loved her time with Abi! She went out of her way to make sure all willow’s needs were met. I would definitely recommend! Thanks so much!”


7. Will M.
“Will loves all dogs of any breed. He is reliable, able to follow specific instructions, completely trustworthy and responsible. He loves the outside and is at his happiest walking or playing with dogs for as long as time allows. He adores the family dog and is responsible for her veterinary needs, but whilst currently renting accommodation away from home he can not have a dog of his own. He does visit home regularly and I'm convinced that the main attraction is to see Rosie.”


8. Isobel W.
“Isobel is a Bristol University student studying veterinary nursing, a career path she has been passionate about since childhood, due to her love of animals. She has a calm, compassionate nature which she displays openly through her care of animals. She has her own French Bulldog, which she has been responsible for, loved and cherished for the past 5 years and she has also been very involved with the care and upbringing of the British shorthair cats and kittens that I have bred for the past six years. She has undertaken five weeks of work experience at a local vet practise and was praised highly for her excellent attitude and her exemplary care and handling of all the animals. Isobel is a good time keeper, she is polite and attentive to the needs of others, is highly capable and is both reliable and trustworthy. I have no doubt she would excel in this role and be a credit to your company.”
9. Freya S.
“If you want your dog to feel like they are staying with their favourite auntie then Freya is your choice! Kind, loving and fun are the 3 words I would choose to describe Freya’s attitude towards animals. Freya will look after your pooch as if they were her own. We 100% recommend her, and our dog Nigel would do too! 😊”


10. Hannah C.

“Hanna had a great time with Tommy and they clearly got on very well. Tommy has a new friend and looks forward to next time.”
11. Hui Jun L.
“I am writing to highly recommend Jun as a responsible and caring dog sitter. I have had the pleasure of knowing Jun for several years and have seen firsthand their natural ability with animals—especially dogs. With over six years of experience caring for their own dog before studying abroad, Jun has developed strong instincts in reading dog behavior, maintaining routines, and ensuring pets feel safe, calm, and loved. Jun is dependable, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs—whether it’s giving medications, following a specific feeding schedule, or simply offering companionship. Their respectful, trustworthy nature also makes them someone you can feel completely confident inviting into your home. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like family, Jun is the perfect fit. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Sincerely, Clement”


12. Bei Z.
“Hi there, She took care of my Golden Retriever, Cooper, while I was away from Liverpool, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was incredibly thoughtful—Cooper is a large, energetic dog, but she handled him with so much patience and care. She made sure he was walked, fed, and entertained every day. What really stood out was how clean she kept the house. Anyone who’s owned a Golden knows how much they shed, but she managed everything so well. She also sent me tons of photos, which I really appreciated. I could see how happy and relaxed Cooper was, and it made being away much easier. If you’re in uk and need someone trustworthy and kind to look after your dog (and your home), she’s absolutely the person I’d recommend. Best, Anna”


13. Sarah O.

“Sarah dropped in to check on Mowgli at very short notice, having not met him/us before, and was very flexible and communicative! It was great to know Mowgli had some company and a chance for a play while we were out, and we're grateful to Sarah for popping over. We'll definitely ask her to look after Mowgli again! Thanks”


14. Joshua S.
“Joshua is a kind, caring and responsible individual who absolutely loves animals. He is friendly, trustworthy and very easy to get along with. I know that he has looked after a few pets for his friends' in the past and he has also taken Meg my Border Collie out on numerous occasions as well as sat with her in my home. I consider Joshua an ideal candidate for the role he has applied for and would trust him wholeheartedly with the pets placed in his care.”


15. Junting C.

“Junting is super quick to respond to my last-minute drop in visits requests. Reliable and a pleasure to work with, even bought snacks along. My cat Marge loves him, will definitely recommend for anyone looking for a sitter:)”


16. Amanda S.

“Amanda was lovely - Mog loved seeing her every day and she was very reliable, providing lots of photos every visit, and details of the state of our house! Would definitely recommend.”


17. Rowan S.

“Rowan has been part of Jolly Pet Care for around ten years. Originally helping other carers and then taking sole responsibility as they got older They have always been reliable and hardworking and have a deep love for all animals. Now off to university they are hoping to embrace their love of animals to help support themselves.”
18. Ava B.
“I have no hesitation in recommending Ava as a pet sitter. She was fantastic with our two labradors - walking regularly, playing with them and giving them a good groom - treating them like her own pets. Whilst we were away Ava also sent through photos to keep us posted on how they were doing which was very reassuring.”


19. Catherine S.

“Excellent again, stress free and hassle free.”


20. Gabriela P.
“Gabi looked after Charlie, my 15 year old Bichon F. He was well looked after and did not want to leave when I went to pick him up.”
