“Amazing care taken with my two cats and 2 bunnies :) regular updates, the animals loved Lisa! They greeted her the minute she arrived to collect the keys and they’ve never done that before, took to her straight away! Even joked her new name would be Lisa dolittle as she’s like an Alan whisperer :) would absolutely book again and would happily reccomend Lisa x”


2. Poppy W.

“Poppy was super lovely, very calm with my pup, and really nice to chat to, would definitely recommend!!”


3. Myya H.

“Myya was amazing! She was really warm and attentive, and asked a lot of questions that makes it clear she has a lot of experience & cares about providing exceptional care. I was slightly nervous because she had to administer medicine which my kitty doesn't like to take, but everything went smoothly and I returned home to a very happy guy! I also embarrassingly didn't stock up enough litter, and Myya was really gracious & made a last minute run to snag more. It's clear how much Myya loves animals and goes above and beyond to take care of them as if they're her own. Couldn't recommend more!”


4. Molly B.

“Molly is great! I’ve really appreciated how quickly she has responded - especially with some rather last minute requests…! She’s reliable and communicates well about both her availability and with updates on her time with Rodney. And, more importantly, I always come home to a happy puppy - so not only does he enjoy his time with her, it also gives me such peace of mind.”


5. Ella P.
“Scooby had been through a lot, he's a covid pup, not socialised until l took him on 2 years ago. He has trust issues due to being treated badly so l imagined dog walkers as a way for him to turn around. He met a couple but it didn't work out, then Ella came into Scooby Dawgs life and changed him completely. Ella opened the door, so to speak for him being able to trust. He still has his attitude, he's still Scooby Dawg, but she melts his heart. He performs tricks for treats, he appreciates her. Normally whenever we shower him, we get soaked and the house floods. But he behaved for Ella. When Scooby Dawg got stung by a bee, Ella helped both of us through it, explaining to the vet, he's normally extremely vocal, but he wouldn't talk. I highly recommend Ella, Scooby too, as she's impacted our lives completely.”


6. Gwennan W.

“Gwennan was great with our puppy! Came over to meet him before first visit and learnt what he likes. Kept in contact and will definitely use services again ☺️”


7. Emily L.

8. Nikki S.

“Nikki did an amazing job looking after our 2 cats!. Gave updates, spent time and ensured cats were well looked after.”

10. Niky S.
“Niky was kind enough to look after our dog for a weekend when we went on a holiday. She kept me updated throughout the day which was very much appreciated, highly recommend!”


11. Morgan L.

“Morgan was great and clearly knows her dogs! She replied super quickly and looked after our dog jasper at short notice. Would highly recommend!”


12. Holly G.
“Holly has cared for my dog Missy multiple times before! I haven't ever had any issues and always updates me with photos of her getting fussed, fed, and loved. 100% recommend Holly to look after your furbabies. 🐶🐾”


13. Emily M.

“Emily has just started to visit Marley our cockapoo and he loves her! She is fab, took to Marley straight away and he to her. She is always on time and sends update of her visit. Highly recommended.”


14. Junyao G.

“Really great cat sitters - they dropped in every day whilst I was away and sent detailed daily updates with pictures so I was aware of everything that was going on with the cat whilst away. Felt totally at ease leaving keys and trusting them with my flat and cat and will definitely book again next time im away!”
15. Fionn L.
“Fionn has been amazing. She communicated clearly and regularly with us the entire time we were away. She went above and beyond when our older cat had to go to the emergency vet after sustaining an emergency caused by another animal. We couldn't have asked for a better sit, she is so reliable, kind and loving with our much-loved pets.”


16. Rebekah D.

“Rebekah was great! It was really easy to arrange everything with her and then I got lots of nice updates/pictures of Paddy during the drop in. Would definitely book again and recommend 😊”


17. Linke C.
About: ✨Passionate and Experienced: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. I spent a lot of time caring for my grandfather’s two dogs, feeding them and making sure they were happy and healthy. During my time working at a private café, I also helped my boss care for two dogs and three cats, handling their daily meals, activities, and walks. This hands-on experience has taught me so much about animal care. I’ve even looked after some stray dogs near my home, offering them comfort and companionship. These experiences have made me realize that each pet has its own unique personality and needs, and my goal is always to make them feel safe and happy. ✨Natural Affinity: Animals of all kinds have always come naturally to me—not just dogs and cats, but also rabbits, ducklings , hamsters, turtles, and so on.I treat them as true friends and companions, with patience and genuine care. ✨Patient and Genuine: One of my most memorable experiences was with a Corgi named Puff, whom I cared for regularly. His owner, concerned he might run off but unable to find the time to care for him properly, had kept him tied up in the backyard, which made him quite restless. I took him out to the park every day, bought him toys, and taught him how to play. Over time, he became much more cheerful and confident, even initiating interactions on his own. Seeing Puff’s transformation was truly rewarding. ✨Attentive and Responsible: Before caring for different breeds, I make a point of researching their specific needs, from diet and exercise to health considerations, so I can give them the best possible care. For example, I know that smaller dogs need extra warmth in winter, while larger dogs benefit from ample exercise space. I believe every animal is unique, and I strive to cater to their individual needs. ✨Energetic and Dedicated: I have plenty of energy and rarely get tired, so I can keep up with energetic dogs during playtime or walks, ensuring they get enough exercise and enjoyment. 🫡Reassurance: When caring for pets, I will keep owners updated with regular photos and short videos if they need , so they can feel connected to their pets even while away. For me, this is more than just a job—it’s a joyful journey of building a meaningful bond with each little life I care for! 🥹❤️ ⏰ Right now, I don’t have any other work commitments, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m usually available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day to care for pets. So I can easily adjust to each pet’s routine, giving them the attention they need at the times that suit them best 🐶 Currently, I’m focused on offering dog walking and pet care in the owner’s home. For Dog Walking 🌳🦮 I will tailor outing based on the dog’s age, energy level, and personality, choosing safe, pet-friendly spots like local parks or green spaces. For younger or less active dogs, I opt for shorter, slower-paced routes, while more energetic dogs get longer walks to help them burn off energy. For Drop-In Visits 🏠🐕🐱 I‘ll make sure to follow the owner’s advice to keep the pet’s usual routine—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or rest. For pets with special needs, like puppies, senior dogs, or those with health concerns, I can adjust the activities according to the owner’s guidance to make sure they’re comfortable and safe. 📲I also keep in touch with owners regularly, sending photos or short videos after each visit so they can feel connected and know their pet is doing well 🐶😸


18. Eloisa L.
“Eloisa is great with animals, she loves them all and I’m sure one day will have a house filled with animals. With her experience she would be very good at looking after people’s pets and I know she will give each client and their pet her best service possible.”


19. Zhan G.
“I would 100% recommend Zhan - he really was a life saver when I needed urgent boarding for my dog Lloyd at short notice. He was quick to respond to messages, was really understanding, and - most importantly - Lloyd was very well-looked after. Thank you so much.”


20. sara s.
“Hello! I’m Malaika Shakil, Sara’s big sister, and I can confidently say that she has an incredible bond with animals. Her empathy and gentleness toward them are unmatched. She has fostered and rescued animals, including two kittens from her high school, one of whom—Cheeto—became the love of her life. Her devotion is so strong that she wouldn’t even move if Cheeto was sleeping in her lap! Sara has also cared for four beautiful German Shepherds, raising all of them from birth. She ensures they get daily walks, playtime, and plenty of love. Whether it’s a street dog or a pet, she always wants to show them kindness (with the owner’s permission, of course). Her love for animals truly shines, and I know any pet in her care will receive the same warmth and attention she gives to her own. She is a responsible, affectionate, and dedicated pet sitter—anyone would be lucky to have her care for their furry friend! I can't recommend Sara enough as a dog sitter!”
