“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 🙂”
“Never left our dog with anyone, we were very nervous and it was difficult to find someone to trust but Amy was an absolute superstar, she was in touch several times a day, sent picture and kept us updated at all times. Very grateful for how well she looked after Obi and miss 100% use her in the future.”
“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!”
“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”
“Magdalena was absolutely lovely with Guava. Guava is very nervous when meeting new people, but Magdalena was so patient, kind, and understanding, and really took the time to help her feel comfortable. She also sent me lovely updates throughout, including photos, videos, and a sweet little slideshow, which I really appreciated. It was so nice to see how much Guava warmed up to her. I’d definitely recommend her.”
“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 🥰”
“Liam is a fantastic house and dog sitter. He helped us out with some day care and was on time, kept us in touch with some photos and updates and looked after our dog with care and attention. He made us feel instantly at ease about leaving our dog with him and we would thoroughly recommend him to others”
“Wow what a wonderful person Marianne is! My dogs are older and have some quirky ways and I was a little worried but I need not have as the messages and pictures I had sent me while I was away reassured me. Marianne goes above and beyond dog sitting, watering my garden, looking after my tortoise and we came home to a lovely tidy house. The dogs weren’t even that excited to see us so I know they loved her! I will definitely book again. 5 ⭐️”
“Leo had another lovely day with Emma! She sent great updates on what they got up to and handles our rescue dog’s quirks really well. She seems brilliant with all dogs, and we’d highly recommend her for dog walking and sitting!”
“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.”
About: I’ve had a dog in the house since I was 5 years old. I’ve moved to Cheltenham for my work and I miss having a dog around so I thought I would look after them in my spare time while acting. I’m currently working as an actor, and I’ve got a couple of days off so I thought I would do Dog sitting as I couldn’t bring my dog up to Cheltenham so my dog is in back with my dad. Unfortunately, I can’t have dogs at my flat, but I’m more than happy to come over and dog sit at your house and take them for walks
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have spent the past few years caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs. I’m patient, kind, and dedicated to making every dog feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits easily into my routine as a university student with several free hours throughout the week. My availability varies day to day, but I’m flexible and can easily fit walks or visits into my schedule. Whether it’s in my breaks or on free days I’m always happy to make time for your pet! I make sure your pets safety is my top priority. I will tailor my approach dependant on the pet’s needs and personality. I will always maintain awareness of my surroundings on walks, use a lead when necessary and ensure the safety of your pet. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for every moment they are with me!
“Ross was superb with my aged sheepdog. He slept next to her bed downstairs and they became best mates for two weeks. Nothing was too much trouble and he insisted on accompanying her to hydrotherapy sessions. He is a very kind person and I would have no hesitation in recommending him as a house/pet sitter.”
“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.”
“Annie looked after my two elderly terriers for a week while I was on holiday, plus my five bantams. She provided an excellent level of care, and sent regular updates. The house was tidy when I got back, and the dogs had clearly enjoyed Annie's company and care. I will definitely be asking Annie to dog, chicken and house sit in the future.”
“Lula stayed with my two boys for 4 days at my flat . Lovely personality and provided best care for my babies. Always sent me messages and pictures. Also before she left my place cleaned and changed bed sheets. Didn't needed but thank you for that. Will definitely ask her to help me in the future. Many thanks Lula”
“We would recommend Harry, he was quick to respond to the initial enquiry and arrived promptly on the meet and greet and day we were going away. He was great with our dog and cat and left the house all tidy. Will definitely use him again.”

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!
Mary-Ann was absolutely lovely – she really helped me out at short notice when my usual dog sitter couldn’t do an overnight stay. We did a meet-and-greet beforehand and Guava warmed to her so quickly, which is a big deal as she’s usually very nervous around new people. Mary-Ann was calm, patient and asked all the right questions about Guava’s routine to make sure she could keep everything familiar and comfortable. During the stay she kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which I really appreciated and found so reassuring. I came home to a happy, settled dog and I wouldn’t hesitate to book Mary Ann again. Highly recommend!
Looking after a 23kilo 8-month-old puppy is no small task—especially one as stubborn and needy as ours—but Marianne seemed to cope well providing regular walks and enrichment games. Marianne provided us with regular updates and videos providing peace of mind that our girl was being cared for even under some very challenging times.
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.

Shannon did an excellent job looking after our dog and cat while we had a long weekend away. It’s the first time we’ve used a house sitter so we were a little nervous but Shannon was superb at communicating and sending photos and left the house immaculately clean and tidy. Willow and Rosie seemed super happy and relaxed with her. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again, thank you.
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! 🐕🐕🐕
Tracy had been amazing! Couldn’t recommend her enough. She took the time out to get to know my nervous Rottie before her house sit whilst we got married. She was patient, kind, and respected both my dogs & treated them like her own. We would be booking Tracy again if we need a dog sitter in the future !!! Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤️
