1. Evie K.

“Evie has been a fantastic dog sitter and saved us for a family occasion! She is brilliant with our dog and a great communicator. I loved all the photos updates we recieved whilst at a family wedding! Thank you Evie!”


2. Nathalie C.

“Nathalie did a super job looking after home and four family dogs while we attended our daughters wedding. Two of the dogs were only visiting during the wedding and didn't know each other. One of them found this very difficult despite us having tried to introduce them carefully away from the home. Nathalie managed the situation brilliantly without having to disturb us at the wedding. I would recommend Nathalie to anyone looking for a professional and comptetent dog/house sitter. Thank you Nathalie!”


3. Nichole B.


“Nichole has been absolutely amazing, so many lovely pics while we are away and so flexible and accommodating, we are so thankful to her for the caring way she has looked after our golden retriever Rosie and 2 cats along with the whole house!!!”


4. Clare F.

“Clare has been great with everything. Dogs, house all perfect and well looked after. Photo and video updates each day of our holiday and really good communication throughout from the first enquiry to the end of the sit. Our dogs are a bit reactive out of the home and Clare dealt with this very well. I would have no hesitation in booking again. From all of us - a huge Thank you!”


5. David C.

“What a lovely caring man David is, he kept in touch with me throughout my absence regarding my 2 dogs, they were walked and fed, the house was clean and tidy on my return and jac and Harvey were 2 happy content dogs. Will definitely be using him again. Thank you David.”


6. Emily-Angelina E.

“Always super happy with their service! Our dogs are always so well looked after and you can tell they’ve had a great time because they’re always so relaxed and happy when we get home. Communicative, flexible, and friendly. We’ve rebooked before and will continue to rebook in future :)”


7. Nageswararao K.
“Absolutely amazing pet sitters! Nani and Navya treated my dog like family. My puppy literally sleeping with them in their bed. Their home is super pet-friendly, and my pup loved playing with their neighbour dogs and exploring the safe garden. It’s clear they genuinely love spending time with dogs. I felt completely at ease knowing my furry friend was in such loving hands. Highly recommend! Cost effective! — Minnie”


8. Elisha W.

“Elisha was great. She came to the house to get to know Teddy before we went on holiday so he was happy and comfortable with her. She looked after the house and Teddy was happy and got lots of walks. She kept us informed with messages and photos of Teddy while we were away so we had total peace of mind. We found Elisha to be a kind and considerate lady and would thoroughly recommend her.”


9. Iain B.
About: I've had two dogs in the last 14 years. Ringo and Sam. Couldn't face losing another. Making friends and taking care of them seems the next best thing I'm retired, so have plenty of time on my hands. I play golf at the weekends but finish around 10am. The rest of the weekend is normally free. I live in a secure gated area with gardens to the front. No other pets in the community at present. No pet issues with neighbours.


10. Mackenzi M.
About: With 3 years at Pets at Home and 8 years caring for my own dogs, I provide loving, knowledgeable care for pups of all ages and needs. As a part-time student, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide dedicated, loving care for your pet whenever you may need. I prioritize safety and trust by maintaining a clean, secure environment for pets. I follow each pet’s routine and ensure they feel comfortable and loved in their own home.


11. Lynne B.
“I would like to recommend Lynne as an animal carer, she is a thoughtful and responsible person to leave your pet with, she has owned and cared for animals all her life and I would not hesitate to leave my own much loved pet in her very capable and kind hands. Helen”


12. Eleanor T.
“Ellie has dog sat and looked after my two dogs quite a few times and done a great job even though they can be quite a handful. She's always reliable, great with dogs, walks them, feeds them, plays with them and they love to see her!”


13. Jane S.

“We have no reservation recommending Jane after leaving her to house and dog sit for 2 weeks. Jane is a very friendly, caring. calm person who put us at ease at first meeting. Our dog settled with her very quickly and Jane was able to cope admirably with her quirky fun loving antics. We returned home to a very chilled out, relaxed dog and a tidy house. Thankyou for the photos and videos. We were able to relax, knowing that our dog was in safe hands. Thankyou.”


14. James C.
“I am happy to write a testimonial for James as I have always found him to be a very reliable , responsible and trustworthy dog walker - he has extensive experience with dogs and it is obvious that he cares for them - I would highly recommend him as a dog walker”


15. Madeleine A.

“This is the first time I’ve left my dog with a sitter and I couldn’t have asked for better. My dog Barker was completely at ease from the very first minute which is a real testament to how Madeleine is with dogs. She kept us up to date throughout our holiday with fab pictures and stories which showed that our dog was having a brilliant time and was relaxed and happy. The house was in perfect condition on my return too, A very happy customer!”


16. Sharon H.
“My dog means the world to me, he's basically my child. When Sharon and Paul looked after him whilst on my holiday I gave them instructions about his routine and his commands. My boy Neiko was walked 2/3 times a day and had plenty of room to exercise in their safe high walled garden. He had the roam of the house but was comfortable been with them in their living room/ large kitchen. They have structure not decipline and plenty of experience having had dogs themselves and looking after family dogs. They are caring in nature and I will/would leave Neiko with them feeling happy and satisfied he is safe and happy with them.”


17. Ella C.
“Ella and Olivia were absolutely amazing. It's such a blessing to be able to go on a holiday and not be concerned about the wellbeing of your pets. They provided daily updates of them on walks or beach adventures and reached out if they were unsure about anything. These two showed a very genuine love of animals and we will absolutely try to use them again. They also left the house and car in better condition than we left it. We couldn't recommend them highly enough! Thanks so much girls! Our two babies will miss you.”


18. Megan K.

“Megan looked after our dog, Meg, when we went away for a few days. Meg has never been left at home or in kennels when we’ve been away and at 13 years of age we didn’t fancy putting her in kennels - she’s quite an anxious dog! Megan came to our house and we went for a couple of walks so Meg could get to know Megan so even before we went away we were comfortable with our choice. Megan sent regular updates while we were away and Meg was absolutely fine when we got back - no anxiety because she’d been in her own environment. Megan is lovely; she loves dogs ♥️and we have absolutely no worries about leaving Meg in her care again. Definitely recommended 5* 😊”


19. Julie F.
“Julie has looked after mine and my friend’s dogs and done a great job. She is very professional and friendly, the dogs clearly are very happy to see her!”
