1. Shelby M.
“Shelby regularly comes and stays at my home whilst I'm away, and has done for over 2 years. She looks after my animals (including chickens and cats) and my home, which can be a challenging space as it's a converted bus, so requires extra attention (it's very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter). I trust her, and am always delighted to come home and find the space clean and welcoming, and the animals very well cared for- they're always so pleased to see her when she arrives, and are calm and relaxed when I get home. She goes the extra mile, always doing more than I've asked for, and the animals enjoy her company so much that I feel like she's a co-parent! She is a prompt communicator, enthusiastic, flexible, and has good boundaries and is able to say no when she can't do something. She also now pet+ house sits for several other members of my family. Shelby is an absolute dream, and I would highly recommend her as a pet and house sitter.”


2. Ruth C.
“Ruth is a wonderful person and carer for our pup “Opie”. We were concerned about leaving him for the first time but Ruth really made us feel comfortable and reassured. Opie had such a wonderful time and we will definitely be booking in with Ruth again very soon. Ruth is dedicated to ensuring that your pet has a fun and enjoyable experience with her and she treats the pets she cares for with so much affection and kindness, she truly is a special woman and your pets will be loved and cared for wholeheartedly.”


3. Gemma S.
“Gemma is fantastic! She's looked after my boy Georgie on several occasions and he is very comfortable with her. I adore all the pics and videos she sends me of thier adventures while I'm away. My neighbours have even commented how good she is with him which is just lovely to hear! She's always on time and leaves the house spotless. I would 100% recommend her and we will definitely be continuing to book her for future dates!”


4. Colin G.
“Colin has looked after our two cockapoos Cooper and coco on many occasions last year he looked after them for 3weeks he has a fantastic natural unique warmth about him our boys took to him straight away he sent us lots of pictures of them living their best life he has now been a regular dog walker and our boys are always excited to see him for there walks we cannot thank him enough for the care he always takes of our beautiful fur babies and have no worries whatsoever about leaving them for our or should I say their 3 week holiday this year”


5. Josh S.

“Meeting Josh for the first time was pleasing. Josh is a bright young man who we would definitely recommend. Our 9 week old pup Bentley warmed to him immediately and instantly all our nerves were settled. Josh came across as a animal lover with the potential to succeed in whatever he wants to achieve. We/Bentley can't wait to hire Josh again when necessary. Thank You Josh from Rob, Nina & Bentley.”


6. Ilinka V.

“Llinka looked after my two Victorian bulldogs and cats while I was away for four days. She took them for 2 long walks every day and gave them.lots of love and attention. I was updated regularly with photos and videos. My phone died on the plane so she couldn't get hold of me so she came back round to my house with more food for my pets incase my flight was delayed. I can't recommend her highly enough.”


7. Alvie C.

“Taiyo enjoyed his time with Alvie, she was punctual, respectful and polite and provided updates throughout the day. Looking forward to the next booking!”


8. Lauren B.
“I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Lauren and her dog walking/sitting. My dog Buddy isn’t always the easiest, he’s full of energy and pretty stubborn, but she handles him like a total pro. The first time she took him out, he returned happier and calmer than I’ve seen him in a long time. What really sets her apart is how much she genuinely cares. She doesn’t just show up to check a box, she gives the dogs love and attention. I’ve had her dog sit Buddy a few times now, and every time I get back, it’s clear he’s been in good hands. I get regular updates, photos, and little notes about how he’s doing, which honestly gives me so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and who actually loves dogs, look no further. Buddy and I are both lucky we found her.”


9. Cristian D.
“Hi my name is Suzana, Cristian’s he’s a lovely person with huge love for pets, specifically dogs and he’s been like this ever since. We grow up back home in Romania with loads of dogs around us, so he’s very friendly with them and know dogs really well”


10. Ghulam M.
“Ghulam took care of my chocolate Labrador, Teddy, for a weekend, at short notice, and I was so happy with his care. Ghulam sent me photos and videos of Teddy, indoors and outdoors. He looked happy and content. He clearly loves dogs and has had lots of experience with large dogs, which made me feel more confident about leaving Teddy with him. I recommend getting in touch with Him and having a chat if you need a dog sitter. He won't let you down”


11. Jack W.
“Jack absolutely loves animals, he is very caring and would do a wonderful job helping care for and walk these dogs. He is very responsible”

I'm calm, reliable, and always respectful of each dog's unique personality and routine. Flexible, daily and weekly both possible and weekday and weekend morning and night both possible.

14. Beatrice-Ionela V.
About: I’ve had roughly 9 years of experience with dogs, my own and family friends. I have given medication orally and with food, I have gone on daily walks. I can play and try to tire them out before they tire me out. I also am getting some experience in training as I am trying to train my own dog tricks currently. I am currently taking a gap year so my schedule right now is free most weeks and days. I do want to focus on pet care and cat sitting if possible so I can provide the best services. I can crate cats pretty well by bribing with treats and I would do the safe for dogs. I can keep eating areas, drinking areas clean and tidy. Refill it when needed, as well as many toilet breaks needed for animals. I can clean litters for cats and play with both cats and dogs.


15. Scarlett W.
“Scarlett has looked after a couple of my animals. She had my kitten with her for over 2 weeks and 2 of my french bulldogs for a week (not the calmest breed!) i had a previous awful experience with a kennel when I had gone away for a couple of weeks and Scarlett knew I was worried and instantly offered to have them this time around, I wouldn’t of had anyone else look after them, the love and care she has is amazing. Not only was it a lot more affordable but I was able to actually enjoy my holiday without the added pressure and worry if my pets were doing ok! I would 10000% recommend to anyone and will definitely be using her again!!”


16. Bhavana A.
“I can’t recommend Bhavana enough! She took care of my labrador, Leo, and I could instantly tell how comfortable and happy he was around her. Bhavana has such a natural, gentle energy that dogs immediately connect with — Leo isn’t usually quick to trust, but with her, it was love at first tail wag! She was not only responsible and attentive but also truly treated Leo like her own. From regular updates to thoughtful little things like making sure his favorite toy was nearby, Bhavana went above and beyond. Knowing he was in such loving hands gave me total peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and will treat your furry family member with the care and kindness they deserve, Bhavana is the one.”


17. Lucy N.
“Lucy is great dog lover and carer. Has looked after plenty dogs for years now and has there dogs which is cared for and trained well and will go the extra mile to make sure a dog is happy and safe.”

20. Ellie T.
“Ellie was great with my dog and cat. She was quick to answer messages and provided me up updates/photos and videos of my dog and cat, which made me feel at ease. They came back very happy from their visit. They both came home with goodie bags and a lovely photo of their stay. Highly recommend.”
