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!”

14. Megan D.

“Huge thank you to Megan for looking after Arlo last minute to allow me to be at a very important appointment. She worked with us despite being ill and made it clear she would not be able to look after Arlo as well as she would like to, but agreed to sit with him for a couple of hours as needed. She was so helpful and left my home very neat and tidy.”


15. Murran H.

About: I have helped to take care of my family dogs from the age of 9, when we fostered our first hearing dog puppy. Growing up socialising hearing dogs for the deaf means that I have experience with a lot of puppy care and training. My mother also opened her own dog training business for a while so I learnt a lot from her during that process. I have a great love for all animals and would love to help you care for yours! I am a self employed performer, working part time in a local restaurant, so I have lots of time during the week to look after your lovely pups. I usually work Friday and Saturday evenings and Sundays during the day with the occasional dance class or weekday evening shift thrown in, but I always know of thee changes at least 2 weeks in advance. So I am able to facilitate whatever works best for you! I will make sure that your dog gets plenty of attention and lots of walks, regardless of weather (unless you specify that you want me to stay in the house with your dog). I will make sure to only let them off their lead in enclosed safe environments and only feed them any treats or foods that you have approved first.


17. Rebecca E.

“We love Rebecca! She was a blessing and looked after our puppy so well. She’s so caring and very understanding. She went out of her way to make our puppy feel at home. Our puppy got so attached to her and misses her friend! We will always go back to Rebecca, she’s truly amazing.”


18. Lucy C.

“Lucy was professional in her communication and reliable when house sitting. She kept me up to date regarding Bruce and he seemed happy and healthy on our return. Only thing I would change is for the house to be given a quick hoover and bathrooms wiped down, I appreciate that everyone is different but this would be my personal preference. I have booked Lucy again to walk Bruce in Jan ☺️”


19. Orla G.

“Orla looked after our kitten over a long weekend, and we came home to a very happy cat! House was well looked after too and we got a bunch of lovely pictures over the weekend.”


20. Caitlyn R.

“Caitlyn was really great with my 3 month old Jessie. Definitely understands dogs and their needs and was on time and efficient. Thanks very much will definitely book again.”
