1. Elena A.

“Elena is a natural! I would not hesitate to book her again to look after my cat, Forrest. She provided great communication from the off, and plenty of pics and videos were sent during each drop-in which put me at ease that Forrest was in excellent hands! Thank you Elena ☺️”


2. Evelyn R.
“Evelyn is the best with animals! My pets absolutely love her, she is so kind, caring, and patient. My pets always are excited to see her. She takes time learning about their personalities and preferences making them happy and comfortable. Her own dog is one of the happiest I’ve ever met because of how well loved and cared for she is. I never have to worry when my pets are in Evelyn’s care. She is great about sending updates as well. I highly recommend Evelyn for your pet!”


3. Amanda M.
“Amanda Moore was the best dog mum Amber and Ruby our 2 cockapoos could wish for, she would always be ready and willing to take them both for walkies, feed them on time, groom them both and of course play with them, as our daughter she was also the one that kept the vaccinations etc up to date. Infact until she moved into her own house she was hands on and our dogs miss her in their own way.”


4. Francis R.
“Francis has walked my lovely Dachshund Bella for the past year. She is always on time and very polite. She takes Bella to the park and sends me pictures of their adventures. Bella is not very good with other dogs, but Francis knows how to deal with this and I always feel that Bella is in good hands.”


5. Courtney D.
“Courtney is one of the kindest and loyal people I know. She is hardworking and dedicated to whatever she turns her hands to. Courtney is experienced with dogs having had her own. She has also been a huge help to me when I was poorly and took my two energetic Cocker Spaniels out for their exercise. I would not hesitate to recommend Courtney for working with, walking and caring for any dog.”

I am offering your dog a safe and loving home to stay in, a secure garden. I'm located next to fields and a woodland area for the 'w' word. They will be cared for like my own. Doggy-centered care!

About: Hello, my name is Charlotte. I have looked after dogs my whole life and dogs of all sizes too. From Chocolate Labradors to French Bulldogs to Springer Spaniels! I am that person that stops people on the street to tell you how gorgeous your dog is. I grew up with a dog from a young age and when I moved to London, I signed up to borrow my doggy and also done a lot of caring for my sisters rescue dog when she is away. Now living in Colchester and I am in a house with a garden, with lots of space. I am a huge dog lover and would be honoured to look after your dog for you! I am currently working full time but work from home twice a week and have the weekends free for doggy care. My weekends can be quite flexible and happy to work around you. I live in a house with a fully enclosed garden, I live with my boyfriend who is also a huge lover of dogs, however often he is away for work for long periods of time.


9. Ana G.

“Ana is an exceptional pet sitter, our girls absolutely adore her! Our shy girl Mango warmed up to her so quickly as Ana is patient and attentive to the animals she looks after. We received updates, photos and videos which were so appreciated throughout our trip. She listens and makes sure to ask any questions to make sure your babies have the best time. We came back to a clean house and Martha and Mango were very happy and well looked after. Thank you so much Ana ❤️”


10. Megan R.
“Megan took great care of my lovely dog Rufus. Megan helped me with regular walks and also looking after Rufus for a week when I was on holiday. He absolutely adores Megan and she is very much missed now that she has moved ! He always came back well exercised, having done his evolutions and a happy boy! Thank you Megan for always being on time and putting my mind at ease with great pics of the happy boy when I was away.”

13. Melisa B.

“I booked Melisa for a few drop in visits when I was away for a few days. From the start, she responded to queries and messages promptly. She took a lovely picture of my cat unfortunately I had to cut my trip short after one visit and she was so accommodating in helping me find the best way to ensure I wasn't massively out of pocket for visits I no longer needed. I will definitely be booking with Melisa for any future trips I take.”
14. Daniela C.
“I’ve known Daniela for 4 years. She is the most kind and compassionate person. She is extremely reliable and responsible and I can always count on her. She enjoys doing stuff she loves, one of them being spending time with fluffy creatures. She treats them like they’re little angels that can do no wrong and no doubt they’ll be happy and safe in her care.”

17. Amy W.
About: I have had dogs since I was a child as since joining the army I have not been able to have any and miss my two dogs who are at home with mum a lot there names are Ella and Dottie, ella is a golden retriever and Dottie a miniature dashound. I have looked after a friends dashound for 3 years on and off if he is on exercise, he has just left the army and will miss looking after Oscar. I have also done dog boarding/ house sitting for my boss at work, her dog is a cocker spaniel called Guinness that was for 5 days. I have looked after family’s pets if have been on holiday. Any dogs I will be looking after will get 3 walks a day one early morning at 0600, one at lunch between 1200 and 1330, a evening walk and a walk just before bedtime to make sure he/she is going to be comfortable at night. If pet is scared of fireworks or lightning please tell me, and what the plan is to happen if those events are going to happen. My dog Ellie is scared of fireworks and lightning she has to have tv on loud and lots of reassurance and thunder scarf on. As I live in a military camp I am able to do long walks on our sports field which is out of the way of any vehicles and is fenced off. I am unable to have dogs in my flat due to new rules from the army, I am able to come to yours if within 5mile radius mid week boarding, weekend boarding 10 miles+ with house sit.


18. Simon W.
“Simon is an experienced pet caregiver, he grew up always with pet cats around and we have had two cats of our own for the past 12 years. He is proficient in all aspects of cat care -feeding, litter trays, grooming, administering drops + medication, and of course giving them plenty of love and attention. We also have a dog and despite being a "cat person", Simon is also great with the dog, and has even taken on the role of our household dog groomer! He is patient, kind and gentle, and genuinely loves animals, and any pet would be lucky to have him visit.”


19. Barbora V.
“Highly recommend Barbora to look after your dogs. She always gives Lexa so much care and love like she’s her own. Always happy to help even at last minute. Your pups will be in safe hands with Barbora looking after them.”
