“Shannon is a very sweet and caring sitter. I can tell she took good care of my boys as they were quite relaxed when I got home and she took time to read my instructions on walking, routine and food etc. One of my dogs can be quite nervous around strangers but she has a very gentle presence so I knew he would be fine with her. Would definitely book again in future 🙂”

“Gemma is as fantastic sitting for my two puppies they were really happy and well cared for and Gemma left the house immaculate! Would definitely recommend and use again. X”


“Ella helped us out on about an hours notice after an issue with another sitter left us stuck just before work! She was the most relaxed presence and made everything so much easier. Dillon took to her straight away and communication was great. Couldn't recommend more highly!”

“Amy was fantastic with Mabel! She kept me updated throughout the day and made sure Mabel was walked, played with and loved! Put my husband and I at ease whilst working in the office knowing Mabel was happy! Thank you Amy x”

“Sian is lovely, she took great care of Maggie whilst dog sitting. Sian is communicative and left the house as she found it- I would recommend her and look forward to booking again. Xx”

About: I first began taking care of animals when the neighbors would ask my sister and I to watch their cats and small animals while away. Then I finally convinced my parents to get a family dog and that’s where most of my experience is! During covid years, my friend and I have been doing house/pet sitting for family friends for the past year and I enjoy it so much. Unfortunately we lost our precious family dog Jack a couple years ago and having moved from the US to the UK, I am seriously missing animal interaction ! I am pursuing a masters degree in social work from UoG and am currently on a full-time placement until the end of July. During placement I work Monday-Friday, 9-4:30 but am available in evenings and weekends. Once placement ends I will have much more free time and flexibility. While I am currently living in an apartment and will not be able to bring your pet home with me, I enjoy going for long walks in some beautiful neighborhoods or parks of which Cheltenham has plenty to offer! I am also happy to check in on your fur baby for potty breaks, feeding time, or just to share some company for a while or even extend it to overnight house sitting as well if that makes them feel more secure!
“This couple are AMAZING! I have the most nervous, sensitive cat and he fell head over heels in love with this wonderful couple. They were gentle, they were careful and they did everything I asked and more. I had some wonderful updates and to see my cat who is so nervous so happy made my heart happy. I cannot wait to book them again and so thankful for everything they did this weekend!”

“Annie was brilliant with both our pets. Our cat is very timid but he came out of his shell and spent time with Annie. Our dog absolutely loved having her spend time with him and take him on a walk. Both our pets were thoroughly looked after as if they were her own and we would recommend Annie to anyone looking for a pet sitter”

“Rebecca was absolutely fantastic from start to finish.. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Dillon. She kept me consistently updated with messages, photos and videos, which genuinely made such a difference while I was away (he’s basically my child, so this meant a lot!). It was so reassuring to see how relaxed and content he was with her. Especially as he can sometimes take a little while to warm up to new people. Rebecca was incredibly attentive, kind and thoughtful. She picked up on little things, kept me informed, and clearly gave Dillon lots of love and attention; he looked so happy and settled. She also took great care of my home, left everything spotless, and was just a pleasure to communicate with throughout. I would 100% rebook with Rebecca in a heartbeat and would highly recommend her to anyone. Dillon already can’t wait for his next stay with her 🥰”

“Sophie looked after our dog Lachie and cat Billy for 2 nights whilst we were away at a wedding and we couldn’t fault her. We had loads of photos sent through daily, messages to let us know they were okay, the house was immaculate when we got back and the animals were happy! Will definitely look to re-book in the future and recommend”


About: Hi! I’m a passionate and reliable pet sitter who truly loves caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. Whether it’s playful pups or independent cats, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. I have experience with dogs and cats of different breeds, ages, and temperaments—from energetic puppies who need lots of exercise to senior pets who require a gentler touch. I understand that every animal is unique, so I always take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. Your pet’s comfort and wellbeing are my top priorities. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks (for dogs), and cuddles—along with regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, or special care needs. Clean, respectful, and dependable, I treat every home and pet as if they were my own. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend—feel free to reach out with any questions!
“Valerye was super kind and patient with Guava who can get very scared when she meets new people. I got regular updates and photos throughout the day which was lovely and will 100% be rebooking in the future.”

“Isabela was really wonderful at house sitting with our dog. She was always really great at communication and sent us loads of pictures of the lovely walks they went on. Thanks Izabela :)”

“Charlotte provided exceptional care for Marcus, keeping me informed every step of the way with regular updates on his wellbeing. It was such a relief knowing he was in safe, attentive hands. She was wonderfully flexible around my schedule and consistently punctual - exactly what you want when you're trusting someone with your pet. When I returned home, everything was spotless: a clean litter tray and the right amount of food in his bowl. It's clear she genuinely takes pride in the care she provides. I'd absolutely recommend Charlotte and will definitely be booking again! :)”

“Katherine dog sat my 2 Jack Russell’s for 4 days. They were well cared for and very happy when I returned home. Katherine text and sent photos each day to keep me updated. I would highly recommend Katherine and will use her again.”


“Bethany was great. She totally look after Winnie our 1 year old cocker spaniel. Even in the heatwave Bethany was very considerate and was in constant communication with us. Would highly recommend.”

Carly helped us out very last minute after we had an issue with our previously booked sitter, and we wish we'd booked with her in the first place! Our Dillon took to her immediately and he was so well cared for whilst we were at work. Couldn't recommend more highly!!

Ella helped us out on about an hours notice after an issue with another sitter left us stuck just before work! She was the most relaxed presence and made everything so much easier. Dillon took to her straight away and communication was great. Couldn't recommend more highly!

Chris was fantastic; from clear and consistent communication, a great bond with our dog and a conscientious caretaker of our home whilst dog sitting, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of dogsitting services. Thanks again Chris for being awesome!

Hannah is an excellent sitter! She is calm and very patient with our anxious dachshund, Sherlock. Her communication was also great . I appreciate that she reached out to ask for tips when Sherlock was feeling nervous during their walk. She handled him with flexibility and was able to help him relax. Thank you so much, Hannah!

Elise was excellent, she looked after our puppy and old age cat like they were royalty. I received multiple updates during the day and she even left a full itinerary of his day so we knew when he went to the toilet etc. Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a highly attentive pet sitter. She also left our apartment spotless which was fantastic!

Highly recommend booking with Izabela! Great communication from the start and lovely updates during the booking. A very genuine and responsible sitter with lots of experience. The meet and greet beforehand was really helpful to ease my anxiety about using a sitter for the first time too. Freddie had the best day and is already looking forward to seeing Izabela again! 🐕🐕🐕
