“We were apprehensive about leaving our rescue 8 month old kitten for the first time, but Evie came to visit and make friends with Patch the weekend before. We felt happy and confident and happy he'd get along fine. hShe kept us updated and sent photos of him looking happy with his treats. And even better he didn't seem that annoyed that we'd left him overnight :). Thanks Evie. First time leaving our 8 month old rescue kitten overnight, and we were a little apprehensive about leaving him. Evie came and visited to make friends with Patch beforehand which was great, and we felt confident he'd be fine with Evie visiting him whilst we were away. She kept us updated and sent photos of him looking happy with his treats. And even better he didn't seem that annoyed that we'd left him overnight when we got back :). Thanks Evie.”


2. Kristel R.

“I cannot recommend Kris enough. Such wonderful personal service and updates on my girl. Loads of pictures, videos of play and even made sure the house was smelling beautifully on our return. Great communication and a genuine love and care shown every visit. Will definitely be rebooking xx”


3. Ellie S.

“Ellie was great. Came round at arranged time for a pre-meet and was very professional and organised gathering the information she needed. She was flexible and accommodating in meeting our cats particular needs and I felt confident entrusting our cat and home to her while we were away. Our cat is quite timid but was a fan of Ellie, choosing to sit in her lap for a cuddle which is rare. Really appreciated the photos to give us peace of mind that our beloved cat was well and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to use again and to recommend.”


4. Clare F.

“I would highly recommend Clare! Clare was happy to accommodate a slightly chaotic request for a last minute meet&greet/drop-in. She instantly put me at ease and bonded with my dog Blue. During the drop-in she sent multiple photos and kept me updated. Great communication, 10/10 😊”


5. Samantha B.
“Samantha is the perfect pet owner! She has experience with a variety of dogs, with plenty in the immediate family and friends circle, looking after different dogs time and time again. She has a love for all animals, including horses, rabbits and cats, but her love for dogs shines through. As an independent business owner Samantha has the luxury of working from home all of the time which means plenty of attention for the lucky dog too!”

About: A lifelong love for all animals but especially dogs and as a regular long distance walker (with big pockets for treats) my fitness would never be in question. I will be retiring from my present position as a postman this year (2023) so will be able to be hired on a moments notice. Caring for other peoples pets would be on the owners terms and the time spent in their homes would be with the utmost respect and care.


7. Elisha W.

“Elisha was lovely, very friendly and we felt so confident and relaxed leaving our pets with her. We highly recommend her. Thank you Elisha.”


8. James C.

“Amy has looked after our cat, pond fish and wild birds exceptionally well. Her reliability and care has been excellent! We shall definitely be asking Amy again in the future , definitely would recommend her.”


11. Lea S.

“Lea was fantastic! She agreed to come and feed my 2 cats at late notice. Communication was swift and she was able to come over for a preliminary visit on the day that I booked. Lea was relaxed and clearly had my cats best interests at heart. I received photos and videos during every visit which was really great. Lea listened carefully to my instructions and was very clean and tidy, after her visits my house was exactly as I had left it and my cats were happy.”


12. Thomas B.
“Tom looked after my Dachshund for a week, during that time I got lots of pics and updates. He was looked after and loved like one of his own and taken on lovely walks with Toms own dogs, who were a great influence on my young dog and helped him gain more confidence. I highly recommend Tom and will definitely use him again in future.”


13. Alex B.
“Alex is an excellent caregiver for all types of dogs! He’s great with our rescue pup Margot, who is a little nervous - Alex knows what’s best for her and looks after her really well. He’s a classic dog guy: caring, fun, and responsible with his own dog and others!”


14. Polina B.

“Polina has been exceptional, she very quickly built up a strong rapport with our puppy - Bella. Bella absolutely adores her! Polina is incredibly dilligent and keeps us regularly informed with photos and messages of their walks and plays. I strongly recommend Polina to anyone searching for a dog sitter and walker.”


15. Stephanie O.
“I couldn't be happier with the care Steph provided for my two dogs, Riley (a Sprocker Spaniel) and Saffi (a Labradoodle), during their overnight stay while I was on holiday. Steph kept me updated with plenty of pictures and videos of them playing, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear from their happy faces and relaxed behavior that they were comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend Steph to anyone looking for a caring and attentive pet sitter!”

19. Ella C.
“Review from Matt in Australia It was such a pleasure to have both Ella and Olivia housesit our family home and look after our beloved dog Louis whilst away overseas on holiday. From our first interaction with Ella and Olivia we found them to be friendly, professional, respectful and totally trustworthy. They kept our property in immaculate condition and formed an immediate and strong bond with Louis. It was such a nice touch to receive regular WhatsApp messages and photos from them letting us know how Louis was doing. It meant a lot to our children who missed him. They went above and beyond collecting packages for us from the post office and treated our home like it was their own. We would 100% have them housesit again and can't recommend them highly enough for others considering using them. Thanks again girls !”
