“Buddy had a great day with Jane and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.”


2. Lin L.
“Lin has been amazing - he’s looked after my puppy many times over the past year, giving regular updates, photos and treats, like she was his own. Staying with Lin was one of the first time my puppy has been away from home, but she’s always had a great time and has become so much more of a confident pup under his care. Could not recommend him enough!”


3. Lauren G.
“Lauren looked after my two kittens over a weekend when I needed to go on a last minute trip. She took great care of them and I appreciated the regular updates. Highly recommend!”


4. Louisa Rose B.
“Louisa has house and dog sat for us on many occasions. Our dog LOVES her, and she doesn’t mind sharing a bed with him which not everyone is happy to do (he just likes to jump up for a cuddle and doesn’t sleep there the whole night). The house is clean and tidy when we return (I think was actually better than how we left it last time). And she sends us updates and photos when we are away.”


5. Amadeusz W.
“Amadeusz (Ama) is an extremely caring and considerate person. Ama enjoys the company of animals and they seem to flock towards him, he has a calm and relaxed nature and likes to be outdoors.

13. Rachael B.
About: I’ve always had dogs and now I’ve moved away from my mums house and my pups I miss having a furry friend to walk and play with! I’m used to rescue dogs who may be a bit nervous about people and puppies who have little sharp teeth. I’ve always had bigger dogs so walks won’t be difficult for me! I’m always free for your fury friends! I’m ready to take on the responsibility of taking care of them when you may need someone to rely on There’s a massive fenced in park 2 minutes from my house. The house itself is up a single flight of stairs but once up it all on the same level. Lots of room to run and play


14. Katie C.
About: I have done many years experience looking after family and friends animals. I loved this during my level 2 animal care qualification and feel like this is something I could do to help other paw friends 🧡 I am home all day everyday with my 2 year old son and my 2 year old labrador. I am part of a military family so i tend to travel back to see family every other weekend, I will notify you if I'm unavailable for that weekend i go away 😁 I have a home for big or small dogs, my current dog is a labrador and he's a friendly giant. He's been brought up with my 2 year old son. I have a large crate with a bed if your dog is crate trained, if not there is a dog bed outside the crate too for them sleep on.


15. Thomas S.

“Thomas was great with our puppy Peggy. Arranged a meet and greet in advance and was very reassuring as this was to be Peggy's first ever doggy daycare. We got messages and pictures at various points during her stay and she obviously made herself quite at home. Would happily rebook.”


16. Jade K.
About: I've always had dogs or cats throughout my life and I currently am a cat mum. I thoroughly love animals and care for them a huge amount. I am currently working full time from home. But I have a flexible schedule, so happy to workout timings with you when a care is needed. I can not have animals in my home as I have a cat and I don't think she would like any visitors unfortunately and it wouldn't be fair on her.


17. Dean B.
“Rex loved Dean straight away which is weird because he is always a little shy of strangers. On time pick ups and drop offs even when I had to change the times on a few occasions due to family commitments. Dean seemed to really have fun with Rex and sent me a few pictures to put my mind at ease. Thoroughly nice dude and that shines through when Rex is around him :)”


18. John S.

“My dog seemed very happy with John when I picked him up. Communication was very good with John, who was relaxed and listened to all the caring requirements for my dog. Very highly recommend and will definitely use again!”


19. Catherine T.
“Reliable, enthusiastic and trustworthy with our dog which is what you need when you’re unable to be at home with your own dog. Would thoroughly recommend as a caring sitter.”


20. Emily L.
“Emily has looked after my cats numerous times while I have been on holidays. I have 5 cats and it’s lovely to see someone who genuinely loves animals come to mind them for me. My cats are never stressed when I am away and Emily assures me that they get lots of love and attention. I would recommend Emily to care for anyone’s pets, be it dog, cat or even stick insects! Emily has a calm nature and the cats respond well to her.”
