1. Savannah L.

“Brilliant from start to finish. Very kind and helpful, she came in twice a day to feed and check on my cat and rabbit. I got a load of photos and updates which were lovely to look at and see how they were getting on while I was away for the weekend getting married! I would definitely book her again.”


2. Eleanor M.
“Eleanor regularly looks after my nine cats when I am away. They all get fussed and looked after incredible well. I wouldn't choose anyone else.”


3. Alicia M.
“I can't recommend Alicia enough! From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. Pepsi is a rescue dog and is very anxious around new people. However, Pepsi absolutely adores being in Alicias company and always comes home happy, relaxed, and well-exercised. Alicia is reliable, kind, and truly passionate about animals. I felt more at ease knowing that she is a qualified Vet Nurse. So should anything go wrong, i knew Pepsi was in the best hands. She kept me updated with daily photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Alicia will always be our first choice when it comes to looking for a dog sitter.”


4. Elizabeth S.
“Elizabeth loves animals, you can see this in how she treats the animals she has and the ones she has looked after. Our cats were happy with Elizabeth as she would play with them, pet them, brush them when needed and kept them well fed and watered. I have seen her with her dog and she is very responsible, cleaning up after him and he is well trained. Definitely would recommend Elizabeth for your pet care needs.”


5. Nicola W.
“I always know my pets are in good hands when Nicola is looking after them. She has taken care of both my two rabbits and two dogs on many occasions and they are well looked after and happy!”


6. Helen P.

“This was our cats first time staying somewhere without us, and they were well cared for and we got updates with photos to let us know the cats were doing well. Would recommend Helen and would send the cats back if we needed to.”


7. Cora J.
About: Growing up I have always had pets, dogs and cats. Breeds we have had include springer spaniels, jack russell terriers, border collies, german shepherds and yorkshire terriers. As an adult I have had 2 hungarian vizslas with a previous partner so I am well versed in active breeds. I had my vizslas from puppies so I have experience of those demands and training them. I now only have one of those vizslas, nearly 2 year old Finn so any requests will need to bear this in mind. He is friendly with dogs and people but he is active and loves to play. I have a flexible job, it is 9-5 monday to friday but I can work from home when I want to, subject to appointments. I don't have fixed days or times at home but I can balance the care of my dog easily. I can return home after appointments which are normally only an hour or two so your pets won't be left long. I have a fully enclosed back garden with no public access to the back- I have a side passage with two locked doors leading to the back garden and the fences are 5ft and in good condition so your pets will be safe and secure. I can shut off access to different areas of the house as well if your pets need to be contained whilst alone. I am happy to use a crate if that's what you prefer.


8. Marie S.
“Marie is a very caring and responsible young lady capable of looking after and loving your beloved furry family member. Marie has had dogs since she was a little girl and knows how to make your pets feel loved and comfortable when you are away”


9. Mark T.

“Mark looked after my indoor house cat TT for me while on holiday in August. He was amazing sending me videos and giving him his food, water and medication. Highly recommend 👌 5*”
