“Wonderful Rose! I cannot recommend Rose highly enough. She is the perfect sitter - kind, polite, communicative, simply wonderful with Pickle and left my home even more clean and tidy than I left it - even washing bedsheets so I wouldn't have to return to do them on my birthday :) I wouldn't hesitate to book her again, what a star. Thank you x”

“Imogen did a brilliant job looking after our Greyhound Bob. I know he was happy because he'd eaten his lunch and he tends to not eat eat when he's anxious. Imogen went above and beyond to organise Bob sitting as I was struggling to find anyone who could do the hours. Would definitely book again and recommend.”

“I recently had the pleasure of having Hannah look after my dog, Bella, while I was on holiday, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, Hannah was incredibly attentive, ensuring I felt comfortable and safe leaving Bella in her care. She kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which truly put my mind at ease. It was clear that Bella was happy and well-cared for, and I could tell she enjoyed her time with Hannah. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! I'm pleased we now have someone who Bella can be with when we are away. Thanks a million Hannah :-)”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life from Dachshunds and terriers through to rescues and Labradors. I’ve recently retired and lost my companion Charlie so I’m hoping to invest my love in your precious one now. I’m recently retired so expect to spend all day with your pet, making them part of my life while they are with me. I live in a city centre maisonette and have a small secure outside space for fresh air, but there are also parks near me and all the smells and excitement of the city. I follow whatever exercise routine and rules you have at home. Pets can come on the sofa for cuddles if you allow that, and can either sleep downstairs or upstairs on the bed with me.

About: I’ve had my own dog for five wonderful years, and he truly opened my heart to all living creatures. We trained him ourselves from a puppy, and he has amazing recall and lovely manners. That experience taught me patience, consistency, and how important trust is with dogs. I regularly look after friends’ dogs of all sizes, small, medium, and large and I’m confident handling different temperaments and energy levels. I provide daily walks once or twice a day, sometimes including a run for more active dogs, and longer walks at the weekend for extra adventure and stimulation. Your dog would be cared for as if they were my own, with attention, affection, and plenty of exercise. 🐾 As I work from home, dogs in my care are rarely left alone and always have company throughout the day. I tailor walks to each dog’s needs, offering one or two walks daily depending on their routine and energy levels. There are always plenty of cuddles, attention and gentle supervision.. 🐾 Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. In my home, I provide a calm, secure and loving environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. I take time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences and any special requirements so they feel settled and comfortable. I maintain consistent boundaries, supervise interactions, and ensure doors and outdoor spaces are secure at all times. Walks are carried out safely, with close attention to surroundings and other dogs. I only allow off-lead time where recall is reliable and agreed with the owner.🐾

“Lauren is a lovely lady... Bonnie felt comfortable in her presence immediately & soon settled down for cuddles... Lauren arrived at the agreed time & was very understanding of Bonnie's needs...We were updated with photos in a WhatsApp group throughout the day & Bonnie looked very happy... Would not hesitate to book Lauren again!!”

“Lucy was very thoughtful in her interactions and sent frequent updates. Alfie seemed to love her from the first moment they met, and she was great at keeping him settled and calm when we left, which can sometimes be difficult for him. Excellent sitter and a lovely person.”

“Christina was a very professional pet sitter, she looked after our 2 dogs Button, who is a lively 3 year old Cocker Spaniel and our 16 year old Spaniel x Border Pippa. We had daily updates and photos of the dogs at home and out for lovely walks. Christina was experience with older dogs and administered Pippa's daily medication. When we returned home the house was left very clean and tidy. And very happy dogs. We would highly recommend Christina as your pet sitter. Graham and Sheila.”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Shirley looking after Enzo overnight in our home. From the very beginning, she was warm, professional, and clearly a genuine animal lover. Enzo settled with her straight away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Shirley took fantastic care of him, keeping to his routine, giving him lots of attention, and making sure he was happy and comfortable the entire time. It was such a relief knowing our home and our dog were in such safe, capable hands. We came back to a relaxed and content Enzo and a spotless house — it honestly couldn’t have gone better. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Shirley again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter. Thank you so much, Shirley!”

“Emma house sat for our GSD puppy while we were away for a few days. She was an excellent sitter and I can thoroughly recommend her. She’s clearly great with dogs and kept our GSD in his training schedule while we were away. She sent pictures every day so we could keep up with what what was going on back home. Great sitter!”

“We had such a great holiday and having David stay with our dog made it extra great! We could tell right away from meeting him before we left that he was exactly the type of person we wanted to stay at our home and look after our dog Gibson. It can a bit of a nervous experience leaving your home and pet with someone, but you will have zero worries with David at the helm! He's responsible, reliable and had an affinity with our dog. He even kept my squirrel snack jar topped up for my little garden buddies. The house was well looked after and looked like it did when we left. We appreciate him so much and will for sure book him again. Amazing person! Thank you so much David!”
