6. Katie L.

“Otis loves going to stay with Katie’s - loads of running around in her fields with her other dogs! She’s also been a star with treating him in a way that he gets a bit of extra training as a 9 month old puppy! Katie’s flexibility has also gotten us out of a couple of tricky situations when we’ve had to find a sitter at short notice!! Thanks Katie!”


7. Wan Jeong C.

“"Amazing Dog Sitter – Highly Recommend!" We couldn’t be happier with the care our little Daisy received during her stay with Wan! From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in great hands. Wan went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and reassured while we were away. Throughout the entire stay, we received regular updates, including loads of adorable pictures and videos. It was such a relief to see our puppy having fun and enjoying her time! We could tell she was well-loved and well-cared for, which made our time away stress-free. The attention to detail, thoughtful communication, and affection shown to our dog truly exceeded our expectations. We’ll absolutely be reaching out again the next time we need a sitter. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like family, look no further! Thank you so much for giving our pup the best care! Thank you, Renata”

16. Lucinda B.
About: I've had animals all my life from horses, sheep, dogs, cats rabbits, and guinea pigs, I know that every pet has their own personality which will be catered for when they are with me. I work from home Monday to Friday, and it is very rare that I have to go into the office, so will have excellent availability. I am always around to keep an eye on the dogs and have regular breaks for playtime, with an hour lunchbreak for a long walk. I have a large downstairs area with a medium sized garden fully fenced. Toys readily available for playtime - any medicational requirement are easy to fit into the day. Also pet care insured.


17. Sophie B.

“Excellent and exceeded my expectations! Sophie was a great company to Bella, kept me updated 24/7 and definitely put my mind to ease as it was the first time in 12 years when Bella wasn't iny company. I have only good words to describe the experience! Highly recommend!!!!”


18. Natalia N.

“Excellent, saved me with a really last minute booking. Natalia was great and Dexter settled in nicely. Will be using Natalia again.”


19. Kathryn L.

“Kathryn looked after my dog Lolly and my parents dog Harry for a few nights between Christmas and over New Year. We received messages and photos of our babies reassuring us they were well looked after. It was a relief to know they had a lovely family to stay with who would welcome them in as part of the family. Would recommend!!”


20. Candi H.

“Just wonderful ! I was in need of a sitter for our cat Zog at the last minute, and Candi was very quick to reply and let us know she’d be available. She consistently updated us about everything going on with our cat and sent us videos and photos all throughout. She also offered to pick up and drop off since we don’t have a car. Very enthusiastic about having him stay over which ensured he’s had a wonder holiday !! We are so happy Zog got to socialise with other cats too :) MOST DEFINITELY recommended and I now know who to contact were I ever to need a sitter again. Also - we would be happy to take care of your cats if needed :)! Very, very happy. THANK YOU !”
