Highly recommend Molly she’s a pro with dogs.”

“Harry and his partner had our Belgian Malinois for four nights. I could not have asked for more. Absolutely amazing! It was our first time using a dog sitter and we will definitely be going back. Harry gave us updates through out as requested. Thank you!”


6. Cerys T.

“Our rescue pup was comfortable with Cerys from the start - she must have a super good dog vibe! Cerys house sat for us whilst we were away for a few nights - the first time we had been away for that long. Billie was well looked after and calm when we arrived home. Our house had been left spotless and everything had been looked after. Cerys was quick to reply when we asked for updates too. Before we booked for a long time away, Cerys met with Billie a couple of times to make sure everyone was happy and comfortable. The whole experience was excellent and we are so happy we could get away without worrying! Thank you!”


7. Alexa H.

“Alexa was brilliant, very natural around our lab Murphy. Provided helpful and reassuring messages and photos throughout the stay, left everything tidy and was a pleasure to deal with. Thank you Alexa!”


8. Santiago R.
“I can't thank Santiago enough for the exceptional care he provided for my cats and dog while I was away. His genuine love and dedication to animals is evident in everything he does. My dog, who suffers from anxiety, settled in beautifully with Santiago, something I never thought possible. He took the time to ensure all of my pets were comfortable and well-cared for, which gave me complete peace of mind. Santiago is not only professional but also incredibly compassionate. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for top-notch care for their pets!”

“Vivien was great with our dog Ringo. Daily updates and pictures were sent. Ringo had a great time and settled in well with her! It’s evident that Vivien has lots of experience with dogs. Would definitely leave Ringo with Vivien again. Thanks a lot!”


12. Dionne W.
“I have known Dionne for over ten years and have never met anyone with such a love and affinity of animals, particularly dogs. Dionne has looked after my dogs over the past years from a Bassett hound to our 60 kilo Bloodhound! Dionne is always my first call for our dogs welfare when I’m away with work or on holiday. I can go away & relax knowing my dogs are safe, well and happy. Too happy, they never want to come home! Dionne has a calm and logical approach with all dogs, regardless of their breed, size or behaviour issues. Her home is located in a fabulous location for dog walking in the beautiful Cheshire village of Lymm. You will be inspired by Dionne’s confidence with dogs. She also has an open, warm & friendly attitude with everyone. I would not trust my hounds to anyone else, so please don’t steal her too much...!”


13. Rebecca B.

“Rebecca and her partner are lovely and took great care of my fur babies. I have never seen them so relaxed after being away. I will definitely use them again.”


14. Stephen H.

“Stephen was great with Hugo. He’s very calm and has clearly been around dogs a long time so knows how to approach them and help them feel comfortable. - Hugo was smitten pretty quickly! He’s prompt and punctual, feels reliable and trustworthy and gave us updates to help us feel comfortable. Thank You Stephen.”


15. Kathryn T.
About: Hi i mostly work from home and have my own 13 week puppy. I am jogging with him every morning and walking at lunchtime. Would love to keep ur pup company too. I have a flexible squedule and enjoy going on long walks in the day. I have experience with puppies and older dogs having trained 2 of mine and looking after my oldest dog when he was 16 with health conditions. I have worked with stray dogs in Cyprus and rescued many too. Happy to stop in on your dog and take them on a long and fun walk. Also happy to house sit when needed. I am walking my own dog multiple times daily and can walk yours with mine if you are happy for that, but if not that is fine too and they can have a walk on their own. Schedule changes weekly and will be kept up to date on app. Currently free 9-5 Monday to Friday as work is flexible and I can take breaks when I choose. I am comfortable with walking your dog on lead but if your dog is used to being off lead in safe environments this can be discussed. Happy to do if they have good recall. I am a trustworthy person who will keep you updated on your pup through video and pictures. Will need to know their local vet in case of emergency. Please let me know if any specific requirements for your dog or any specific types of walks they prefer etc. If your dog requires a longer walk/adventure we can discuss if you feel comfortable with them coming in the car with me to forest ir beach etc.


16. Maya H.
About: I have cared for my dog and cat from a young age. I also study animal behaviour and welfare and volunteer walking dogs at University so i have deeper knowledge of animal care. I am currently working part time so have lots of time available to look after your pets! I am available in Chester Monday-Friday but i can work around you if needed! I take my dog on walks, as she is becoming a senior now i tend to do shorter ones. My cat will also sometimes join our walks. We have playtime, my cat loves string and my dog loves her penguin!


17. Hiu Tung N.
“Karen is a fantastic dog sitter! She really took care of our dog and kept him calm through out the day. She’s also in a great location in Chester which makes it easier for pick ups and drop offs if commuting to and from the city! Would definitely book with her again!”


18. Hannah P.
About: I’m Hannah, 30. I recently left London to come back to the countryside and outdoors of Cheshire, where I grew up with two older brothers. One tall and blonde, and one amazing chocolate Labrador, my personal favourite (don’t tell the tall blonde). Outdoor adventures in the LakeDistrict, at the coast, in our local forest or simply through the fields by home quickly became my favourite way to spend a day, followed by evenings by the fire. This is still the case, though sadly we lost our Labrador when he was 16. I love the company on these little adventures and explorations, currently borrowing friends and families dogs regularly to join me, I also always have my camera on me so there’ll be some lovely photo portraits and updates for you as a bonus! I have dog sat for over a month at a time, and am very comfortable and confident doing this for any period of time needed, with a good daily routine, plenty of exercise, and plenty of evening cuddles. I have also puppy sat puppies just weeks old overnight on multiple occasions as my Aunt is a breeder of Korthal Griffon dogs, very cute! Leaving London I am re-setting my pace of life to savour and enjoy the little things again, and i’d absolutely love to have doggy pals while I do this. If you have any questions at all for me, please ask away :) I am currently available 24/7 or as needed having moved back from London to re-set and enjoy a more leisurely pace of life back where I grew up. I have a large garden that is fenced, and plenty of local walks in forested or fielded areas on my doorstep. Our own chocolate Labrador has passed but had a lovely bed by the aga, lucky boy. I have also dog sat for friends and family who have crate trained dogs and so have a space for this in the kitchen also. Very happy to work around you!


19. Cara H.

“Cara is absolutely lovely. She came to meet us and the dogs ahead of the sitting and put my mind at ease so I was able to go away knowing the dogs were happy at home with Cara. I had regular updates and came home to happy dogs! Would highly recommend Cara. She looked after my 3 over the hottest days we’ve had. Thank you!!!!”


20. Bree M.
“Bree loves dogs and cares a great deal that they have everything they need. She has a delightful, very friendly cockapoo called Peggy who loves the company of other friendly dogs. Peggy has been a member of the family for two and a half years, since she was a puppy. Bree ensured that she was very well socialised and Peggy is a much loved and well cared for family pet.”
