1. Abbie C.

“This was my first time using a cat sitter and whilst I was initially nervous, Abbie made me feel much more relaxed and I looked forward to her updates with photos and videos each day. My cat became very comfortable with her quickly and received great care. Would definitely book her again in the future x”


2. Ceri P.

“Ceri looked after our cat Reggie while we were on holiday. She was great and really cared for Reggie. Letting us know each day how he was doing and sending us pictures, would not hesitate to use her again.”


3. Rebecca M.
“Becca looked after my 2 little kitties when I went on Holliday. Fed them and let them out for the toilet as well as showed them love and attention. She was really good with them and was constantly sending me pictures and videos to let me know they were safe! 5*”


4. Guste G.

“Guste has been amazing. I went with the right person to check in on my two cats when I went away. She is very friendly, followed instructions perfectly, she went above and beyond and even hoovered and cleaned up more than I would ever ask her to. My painfully shy cat let Guste stroke her, she normally hides and only comes out after a sitter has left. Guste’s reports were lovely and detailed. I felt reassured that my girls have been well looked after. I could not recommend highly enough, I will happily book her again. Thank you so much!!”

6. Rosie O.

“Rosie looked after my two cats while I was away for two weeks. I received daily photos and updates which was really reassuring! She was kind and professional from the start and I felt at ease knowing they were being cared for by Rosie. Highly recommended!”


7. Abigail S.

“Abigail was amazing, collecting our spaniel on our wedding day to take out for a walk. Easy communication and provided plenty of pictures which was lovely to see when we checked the following days. Thank you so much for helping us on such an important day! It certainly put both our minds at rest”
8. Aurinta G.
“My mum is a dedicated pet owner. She is absolutely brilliant with all animals, big or small. She has a passion for animals and always ensures that her pets are happy. They seem like they’re her main priority and would definitely treat anyone’s pets as her own. Would highly recommend!”


9. Millie P.
“Millie is a very gentle and caring pet sitter. She was very reliable and able to accommodate our very busy schedule! Our dog (Jamie) loved spending time with Millie, and she was very patient, confident and relaxed with him. I would recommend her services to anyone!”


10. Lucia T.

“Amazing couple that looked after Dave he is always shy when he first has to stay with someone but they got him out his shell and by the next morning we got lots of pictures of Dave chilling out and being back to his normal self. They was very accommodating to us popping over to see Dave and spend time with him and kept us updated daily”


11. Karolina P.

“Karolina was amazing all the way. Her helpfulness to get us out of a sticky situation to providing plenty of information about timing, for when we could drop him off. She was amazing at keeping our cat Dave active and entertained. My partner was delighted to receive plenty of pictures and videos of our happy cat playing and being swamped with attention”


12. Jack B.

“Jack and Abby looked after our cat. They were fantastic. Our cat is an indoor cat and hasn't been around dogs before but Callie was great with ginge. Although our cat hid away Jack Abby did all they could to make him feel comfortable. We got pictures and a video of his stay. We will definitely use Jack and Abby again. Thanks guys.”

“. Has a passion for animals. I would not let my late dog stay with anyone else. Your dog could not be in safer hands”


14. Al M.
“We have used Al's services for our 2 year old border terrier Ralph for several months now and are so delighted that we have found such a brilliant and reliable pet sitter. On occasions where we have had to be out of the house all day we have booked Al, given him a key and he comes around to take Ralph for a walk mid day then returns him home. Al takes him out to the river or park and I always get plenty of photo updates which I love. Ralph is so tired out when he returns that he sleeps all afternoon until we return home. I no longer worry about days I need to be in the office or days out when I can't take a dog. I have also used Al's overnight services for Ralph where Ralph has stayed at Al's house. This is great as it is home from home for Ralph and we can see how excited he gets when we pull up to Al's house to drop him off. This is totally different to the whimpering and wining we got when we had no choice but to take him to kennels in the past. I love the fact Al only has one dog at once as Ralph thrives off one to one attention. A lot of other dog borders that I have found have several dogs at once and Ralph can get a bit excitable with other dogs so can be a bit of nuisance to them. I used to worry if we had to go away and leave Ralph somewhere but now I know that I can book Al, I don't worry anymore because I know that Ralph will enjoy a holiday too with lots of one to one attention and lots of love!”


15. Arizona R.
About: I have taken care of dogs varying in age from puppies to senior dogs. I have trained puppies to walk on lead correctly without pulling. I am trained to be able to communicate with animals (dogs especially) and have undergone various training days to be able to provide the best experience for my clients and their four legged friends. I am a professional dog walker so pet care fits very easily into my routine as it’s what I’m used to doing 24/7. I can adjust to peoples schedule and am always available to message I offer pet sitting services in the clients home only- this is purely because I find that animals are more relaxed and feel safer in their own environment which they are used to.


16. Lauren A.

“Lauren has been such a find! Having never used pet services before, it’s a bit worrying handing your keys over to a stranger and having them look after your pets. Lauren made me feel at ease from the start. I’ve had photo and text updates on the status of my pet, which has been reassuring. She has also been very accommodating. My life, at present, is a little chaotic and she has been very patient with me, changing dates, last minute requests etc. I’m really delighted with the service she has offered and will definitely use her again in the future.”


17. Abigail L.

“Abigail was fantastic with my two cats, trustworthy and punctual and kept me updated with messages and photos during each visit. The cats both love her and we all look forward to, hopefully, seeing her again in the future. I would highly reccommend Abigail to others.”


18. Megan D.
“Megan is warm and friendly with a calm demeanour. She has had pets all her life, for the last few years she has given time to friends and family looking after their pets, whilst on holiday. From Guinea pigs to dogs all pets welcome x”


19. Emily R.
“Emily is such a loving, kind and genuine person. She has such a passion for animals and I feel really comfortable leaving my pets in her care. 110% recommend!”

About: I have been animal mad since I was a little girl. I have always helped out with friends/family’s animals whether that be cat, dog, fish, hamster, rabbits. I have recently helped my partners mum rehabilitate her cat who went missing for 6 years. I have plenty of love and experience to give. I’m currently working full time but I finish at 2pm and 4pm Monday - Thursday rotated weeks but I work late giving me plenty of time to play with your pups🐶 I finish at 1:15 on a Friday and I am free at the weekends. All my spare time goes into my business 😊 At the moment I don’t offer boarding but in the next year I am looking into this, my new house will have a large fence around it so that your animal will have a safe space to play. At the moment, I will make sure the garden is secure in your home and I will keep my full attention on the pup whilst outside. I will crate the pup if this is something you would like
