Elena was great from start to finish regarding communication & execution of tasks. I urgently needed a cat sitter very last minute and I could not have asked for a better one. I will definitely use her services again if needed in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter. Thank you so much Elena!

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!

Mellisahas been wonderful, sending photos of willow daily, and because of seeing how comfortable willow was allowed to relax and have really nice time away. I would definitely recommend Mellisa to anyone. Thank you again

About: I've had my own dog and regularly look after my friends and neighbours dogs when then are away from home. Experience with rescue dogs too. I work full-time but always from home 8am to 4pm Monday to Friday so free to walk dogs after 4pm or anytime during Saturday or Sunday. My garden is very secure with 6ft fences all the way round. The road I live on is pedestrian only, no cars are allowed to drive on it.

Highly recommend Ana! very professional service and eased our anxieties as this was the first we have left our cats with a sitter we did not know. Ana gave us regular updates with photos as well as following specific feeding requirements. Will 100% be using her services again!

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.

Georgia was recommended to me by a friend and I can’t be grateful enough that they did. She has been looking after my dog now whenever I go on holiday for the past 2 years. She is a natural and really takes the time to get to know your pet so everyone can feel comfortable with the situation. My dog has some anxiety issues and can find it hard to trust people, but she took the time to get to know him and his routine and it made all the difference. She has stayed over at my house with my dog numerous times and I feel my dog is in very safe and experienced hands with her. She is a delight whenever we meet and you can tell she really loves looking after animals. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter for their pet.

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.

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.

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.

We have know Debbie and her husband Shane for many years now and know them very well. During this time they have always had dogs as their family pet and they currently have a lovely Cockapoo named Dougal.Dougal is a very well trained ,obedient and happy dog who regularly visits us with Debbie and Shane. He is very well looked after both physically and emotionally and they are very aware of his safety and wellbeing all round. They clearly love him to bits and I know this would extend to any other animal in their care either in the short or longer term.

Amanda has always loved animals and dogs in particular. She is very competent in dog walking and walked both our dogs Ruby and Amber regularly. She would often take them to the park and very confident in general handling them She was also particularly good with grooming them and always reminding us when their worming/flea treatment due. I would not hesitate in recommending her.
