4. Scarlett H.
“Scarlett is a fantastic pet caregiver. She is kind, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of animal care. Any pet owner would be truly fortunate to have Scarlett care for their beloved pets. She’s able to navigate most any situation with confidence and ease where animals are concerned. She has been around dogs, cats, horses, goats and more since she was born. Pet care is something Scarlett takes very seriously. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing my family’s pets were safely with her on many occasions over the years. I would not hesitate to recommend Scarlett for any pet care needs.”

I will leave my pet in Lara's care again, she has given me a lot of security, Thank you Lara! We will see each other in the next few days for sure!!! Carolina”




6. Grant B.
“Grant is the ultimate dog whisperer and an adaptable superstar when it comes to caring for my diva. He knows how to balance nurturing with settings boundaries ensuring she doesn't run the show (too much!). She adores her time with Grant and comes back with tales of epic adventures that would make any pup jealous. If you're looking for someone who can handle a high maintenance diva with a smile, look no further than Grant”


7. Maddie G.

“Maddie dropped in for several visits to our Bengal cat, Callie, and kept us fully informed as to her wellbeing with photos & updates. Would definitely recommend and will use Maddie again when we next go on holiday in January”


8. Karen W.
“Karen has had dogs and cats all her life. She is wonderful with them and I trust her implicitly with my pets. She is kind, loving and caring with them. She takes their welfare very seriously feeding, exercising and playing with them. She is great with them and thoroughly enjoys the responsibility they require in looking after them. She is great with people too, she is very gregarious, out going and friendly., she is very trustworthy and respectful of other people and their needs. If there were any problems or concerns with the animals she would inform their parents immediately and take what actions may be necessary, such as illness or accident for example the need for veterinary involvement should it be necessary. I would have no hesitation or concerns about employing her as I know they would be well looked after. In her spare time she also organises and facilitates a group of people who take their dogs for doggy play dates and walks in various places such as the new forest where everyone who enjoys their shared love of animals and socialising including the dogs. it’s a win win everyone gets exercise and contact with like minded people plus they get a cafe stop towards the end.”


9. ellen f.
“Ellen was lovely and very attentive to our pets (4 cats, 1 dog), they were all relaxed and happy when we got back from our trip. Ellen had whole days planned for the dog, leaving enough time to spend with the cats and I could tell they were all sad to see her go when we got back. Very impressed with her care and thoughtfulness regarding the pets and they all had a lovely time and didn’t want to see her go.”


10. Imogen V.

“We’re so happy with how well our cat Nova was looked after by Imogen! The regular updates each day really eased our anxiety about leaving her while we were away. Nova is now more playful than ever—I’ll definitely need to step up my playtime game!”


11. Leah W.
About: I’ve looked after various dogs over the last few years. Different ages and temperaments. From fighting to medication to seizures I’ve handled and seen it. I work from home 4 days a week and I am home most weekends. I can pop in for toilets breaks, playing, medication and walks in the day as well as the occasional overnight stays. I have been with dogs that require a lot of attention I.e. a dog with epilepsy who require multiple medication throughout the day and all round care as well as a pup who only wanted to walk for 10 minutes and then sleep the rest of the day. I am used to rules and guidelines as well as dogs and houses where anything goes.


12. Isabel C.
About: I’ve always been a passionate animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and other animals, including having animals all my life! Being outdoors is my happy place, and i couldn’t think of a better way to combine my love for animals and nature than through this business. I’m currently working full time but looking for something to fill in the gaps when i’m not working. my schedule can vary as my days off aren’t always the same but im more then happy to elaborate if needed! a safe, clean environment, regular feeding and fresh water, and plenty of exercise and playtime. Make sure they have a comfy spot to rest and feel secure.


13. Erin A.
“Erin house-sat and cared for our dog Alba and cat Coco and we couldn't have been more pleased with the service. She was caring and attentive to them, ensuring to provide us with updates and the house was left clean, tidy and well looked-after. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Erin to anyone!”


14. Emma M.
“Emma has looked after my labrador and spaniel on numerous occasions. She has house sat for me and she is amazing with my dogs. She struck up a bond instantly with them and is so kind, professional and caring. Whenever we were away she would send me photos of the dogs reassuring me that they were having a good time and were in safe hands. I trust her implicitly with both my dogs and my house and cannot recommend her highly enough.”

17. Rosie P.
About: I have previously done alot of volunteering with animals including conservation and my job allows me to look after your pet both healthy and when they are sick. I believe that our pets are the best companion you can have and they are my happy place. I will be doing this in my spare time when I am having a break from my nursing diploma. I will be doing this in my spare time so mainly on the weekends. Additionally, I also have time on Wednesday afternoon/evening to walk dogs. A pets home is there own personal space and they must trust me before I can develop a good relationship with them. I am patient and kind.


18. Chase T.
“Chase is a very caring & calm person. She is trustworthy & professional. She has walked my old dogs several times and is always considerate of their needs. I feel rest assured they are safe in her care and that they are being looked after as I would look after them. She is always willing to go the extra mile (no pun intended). I would not hesitate in recommending her services. She is a 5-star dog walker/carer.”
