Becca has looked after my dog Otto a 2yr old rescue terrier. She has taken him on walks in a variety of places eg countryside and beach. She follows the instructions I have given her regarding Ottos care, and ensures he is safe at all times. Otto enjoys the love and attention Becca shows him and gets plenty of fuss.

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

Guste is reliable. She owns her own cat and dog therefore shes aware of the responsibilities. She wakes up early in the morning so shes able to give her dog the walks he deserves aswell as an adventure for herself. She especially loves going for car rides so the dog is able to explore new places. She’s owned her dog for just over 10 years and a few years ago she decided she wanted a cat too. She has trained both of them and they’re both happy and healthy.

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!

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

About: I have had dogs for over 30 years and have been a dog boarder for 3 years. I have a mini dachshund who loves to make new doggy friends. I am experienced in puppy and elderly care and cannot wait to provide a home from home experience for your dog(s). I work from home so I am in all day and work around the dogs needs. Weekend care also available. They will be walked either once a day for a long walk or a couple of shorter walks, whatever is within the dogs needs. Each experience is tailored to the dog and owners preference. I don't mind the dog being on the bed or the couch, whatever makes the dog comfortable. I follow owners instructions.

About: I am a retired lady who is completely mad about dogs of all shapes and sizes. I find it really hard to walk past a dog without acknowledging it. They are such wonderful creatures. I have fostered many dogs for a local rescue centre and am a member of the RSPCA and have helped with various aspects of volunteering work involving dogs and dog welfare. I have a large house with a totally secure back garden. Doggy guests can sleep upstairs or downstairs according to their owner's preference. Daily walks on the beach or through local countryside guaranteed. Let me pamper your pooch while you are away!

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, caring for a diverse range of pets including dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, and birds. My passion for animals runs deep, and I genuinely enjoy their company. My extensive experience has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide top-quality care and ensure that every pet feels loved and comfortable. Your pets will be in safe, caring hands with someone who truly understands and cherishes them. I spend most of the day at home. I work full time from home so your pet will be always in company. Generally when I am not at home (running errands or exercising) my parter is at home. We live in a two bedroom house, there is plenty of room and a backyard were I oftentimes go with my cat Raiker but he is a indoor cat. Pets are allowed in the whole house and furniture as Raiker is too.

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!

Amy has been regularly caring for my two dogs for years. She goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy and have everything they need. Nothing is too much to ask and I know I can trust her completely. My boys love Amy (and her dogs), which is obvious from the photos she sends me when she's looking after them :) I would recommend Amy to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Emily, has a gentle loving and caring personality who has always put other people before herself. Loving the outdoors and walks on the weekends. Making friends with anyone she meets. Emily has always grown up with pets in the household being that from Dogs to Chickens. Recently she took 2dogs of the side of the road that had escaped from their home and managed to get them home safely. Her loving personality relates directly to into the animals and has always had a great rapport with any animal she has to look after. Emily has looked after my Dog for many weeks and I couldn’t have more trust in a human being to feed, walk and care for my dog. She makes the perfect candidate for this role.

Jack is a gentle giant. His dog Callie is spoilt, well trained and was very friendly with my dog Charlie. I got constant photo updates. And my dog now has a new bestie! They’ve even met up again in the local park for a walk together. Would recommend to a friend.
