“Karmen is the perfect dog sitter, an attentive, caring, loving and very patient soul who made sure Maya was well cared for while I was away. Maya had an instant connection with Karmen, her energy speaks volumes about her personality and Maya sensed this the day they first met. Receiving the regular updates on how their day was going was lovely, to see how happy and content Maya was made me feel relaxed and enjoy my time away from her. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her for me. Will definitely be booking you again soon :)”

“I was lucky enough to have Sami look after my cats when I went on holiday. I found Sami to be a kind, empathetic and responsible person with a genuine love for animals which meant she excelled in providing compassionate care for my two fur babies. Sami was committed in ensuring I was kept updated with little messages and photos which was a lovely way to give me peace of mind while I was away. I could see that Sami’s caring nature and desire to create positive experience for me and my pets was her priority. I would book Sami again and recommend for others.”

“We couldn’t be happier with the love and care Nikki showed to Milo whilst we were away. Daily updates gave us all the reassurances we needed, and it’s abundantly clear that Milo adores her! Nikki also treated our home with care. We love her so much, we’ve already booked her again and Milo is looking forward to seeing his Aunty Nikki again very soon.”
14. Katarina H.
“Katarina came in to help with my new puppy Sally whilst I concentrated on a project. She was wonderful. Very patient and attentive to Sally and was happy to follow my training techniques, so as to be consistent. Sally absolutely loved her and was looking around for her after she'd left. My only hesitation with leaving a 5 star review is that she might get booked up! We'll definitely be relying on Katarina for a while.”
15. Tom F.
About: Have taken care of many dogs and cats in house shares. Always build a good relationship and I tend to get along better with animals than humans. I am mostly working weekends and from 5pm so if you need a day sitter, it suits me well. I do a fair bit of working from home that is very flexible and perfect for me to take care and walk your little one. I will walk and feed your dog / cat, they will be well excersizes with me. I will need to know prior how they are on & off lead. I have some nice parks and fields near me. I live very close to a doggo park that can be rented for private dog walks in case you want them off the lead. I am not a dog trainer but I will do my best given the opportunity.

“Jerry and Jess watched Coco for us over Christmas and New Year holidays. Coco was recovering from some health issues so we wanted a sitter that would stay in our house to make things as easy on Coco as possible. Jerry and Jess took incredible care of Coco while we were away. They were diligent about giving medications, sent photos and videos everyday, and gave her lots of cuddles! Most importantly, they got Coco to eat 2-3 times a day when we sometimes struggle to get her to finish a single meal. Coco had lost weight during her illness and was very skinny when we left. By the time we'd returned home, she no longer felt bony and we could feel that she'd put on weight. A recent vet visit confirms that she's gone up from 5.9kg to 6.3kg, very nearly back to her normal weight! Not only did Jerry and Jess look after our dog, but also our home. When we finally arrived home at 2am, the house was immaculately clean and there was almost no sign they'd been there except for a lovely card and a dessert in the fridge for us! We cannot recommend Jerry and Jess enough. They are kind, caring people and took wonderful care of Coco and our house. We would love to have them watch Coco again for future trips.”

19. Kya B.
“Kya is a loving dog owner, who will treat any dog with the same love as her own, she is very outdoorsy and enjoys Boeing out on walks. She has dog sat for my French bulldog on many occasions and has always been incredibly friendly. Always left my home very clean to, always cleaning up after the pup”
