“Sandra was absolutely wonderful with our westie as always- especially dealing with her dietary issues and me miscalculating amount of food she needed for the duration. We are so glad we have found her!”
“Adam and Shannon were great with our miniature schnauzer Tess. We had a pre-visit which was really helpful to chat and see how she would settle. Communication was good before and whilst we were away. Tess was very happy on our return so we will definitely be booking again.”
“We have just collected Trixie for her mini holiday with Jane (and Shannan) and it is clear she has been well looked after and has enjoyed a comfortable, relaxing and fun stay Jane sent updates and photos throughout so we knew Trix was settled and having a great time. We collected a very happy and content doggo and would highly recommend and will definitely book with Jane again. Thank you for having her 🐾”
“Lovely family who love and understand dogs! Mango and truffles really enjoyed their time with Harry. There were regular updates, photos, and lots of walks. They’ve also dog proofed the furniture so you can rest assured plenty dog cuddles will be had! We are very happy with Harry and his family’s care for our boys.”
“Kris and Nick were amazing with my dog Monty. They looked after him really well and he had a great time with them as he came back and was knackered! They kept me updated with him while I was away and really kept me at ease during is staying. Thanks so much and I will definitely be using again!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!! From our initial meeting, it was obvious Ludo loved her, which immediately put me at ease. She has so much experience with animals, both professionally and personally, and it really shows. I received regular updates throughout the weekend, so I never had to worry. I actually felt a bit guilty picking him up because he was clearly having such a great time!😂 I will certainly be booking with her again and would highly recommend Wendy ☺️”
“We couldn't have asked for anyone better to look after Sparky. May took incredible care of her and kept us updated throughout the stay with photos, videos and messages. Sparky clearly loved her time with May and looked so happy and settled in every update we received. May really understood what she needed and was very accommodating to Sparky's habits. We are so grateful for everything she did for Sparky and would recommend her to everybody, especially those looking for somebody with a great understanding of dogs and experience caring for elderly dogs. Thank you May!!”
“Bibiana gave great attention and care for our Golden Retriever for about a week. She loved the big garden out back and loved having the whole family to play with. Highly recommended.”
“Dora has looked after Nala a few times and Nala has been very happy in her company. Nala isn’t the easiest dog and Dora cares for her as if she was her own. Would highly recommend Dora!”
“Amazing experience, we felt Ella was in safe and loving hands. Before Ella went to stay, Suey sent over a form to get to know Ella. During the stay we had several updates every day of what she was up to. She looked like she had a great time! This enabled us to relax and enjoy our holiday knowing Ella was with such caring and dog focussed people.”
“We had an absolutely exceptional experience. This lovely young family truly went above and beyond in every way. From the very beginning, communication was constant and reassuring—they kept us updated daily with messages and photos, which made us feel completely at ease. Their love for animals is genuine and obvious. The children were incredibly excited and formed such a sweet bond with Milo—it was heartwarming to see. They treated him as part of their family, and it really showed. When we picked him up, he was visibly calm, happy, and very well cared for. Milo enjoyed regular walks in beautiful rural surroundings and was never left alone, which meant so much to us. It was clear he received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise throughout his stay. They even told us how much they miss him and welcomed him back anytime—which says everything. We couldn’t have asked for better care. Highly, highly recommended. 💛”
“Sam had another brilliant stay with Golnar. We could tell from the updates that he was happy and settled, and very well looked after by Golnar and her husband. Lots of play and attention and Sam's next stay is already booked in. Thank you!”
“Lilah thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Francisco Jr O. It is very clear that Kiko loves all the animals that he looks after and treats them as one of his own - even dressing them up to match the family at Christmas. Communication was excellent with regular photo updates. I would highly recommend and will definitely be using Kiko’s services again.”
“Mariana did a wonderful job looking after my dog Cosmo when he stayed with her. She sent me lots of photos and I could see how well her and her family were looking after him. I could tell she cared about Cosmo and she even bathed him (after checking with us first) so he was super clean when we collected him. I would definitely send Cosmo to Mariana again in the future.”
“Rocio is a wonderful sitter — she is very kind and cares for Jujube deeply. We appreciate that Rocio provides us with pictures and updates throughout the day and it’s clear that Jujube loves her company!”
“Frankie had a great few days with Fern while we were on holiday! Fern was very attentive and responsive, and it was lovely to see all the photos of their walks etc throughout the week. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a dogsitter, and will book again. Thank you!!”

“Natalie took fantastic care of our three indoor cats, when we got married and went away on honeymoon. She was fantastic and kept us updated on how they were doing daily. I would recommend Natalie to anyone who's looking for a honest, caring and animal loving person to look after their pets. Thank you Natalie, we knew they were taken the best care of whilst we were away!”
“Celeste looked after my cat for the weekend, and I couldn't recommend her highly enough. She took the time to learn about Smokey's individual needs and was incredibly caring and reassuring throughout. She kindly sent me regular updates and lots of photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I could tell she had completely won Smokey over—he's normally very shy (and a bit moody!), but he was happily cuddling up to Celeste all weekend. As an added bonus, she even watered my tomato plants for me. I wouldn't hesitate to book Celeste again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Smokey!”
“Kashif took very good care of our cats. He meticulously followed the care guidelines, took time to play with them and sent pictures everyday. We would absolutely trust him again! ”
About: I've grown up with dogs and been around dogs for almost all of my life. Until recently owned a 12 year old cocker spaniel called Tigger. I'm a keen Cani Cross Runner and Tigger was a great running dog, he absolute loved it, so I'm trying to help more dogs be active. A healthy active dog is a dog that will have a longer healthy life and a lot of dogs don't get the exercise they need. I'd love to help change that. 😊 I'm available almost all the time when I'm not travelling and happy to work around your schedule with enough notice. Let's have a chat about your needs. If you would like me to try running with your dog the following apllies: I would need to take your dog out for a walk or two first to learn about their habits and needs. Then if they've not tried Cani Cross before we would need to take it slowly as there's a lot to learn for both me and your dog about how we run together. I'm happy to answer any questions you have about this as well, so do let me know and if you'd like to come along as well that's even better!
“Gill has been a lovely pet sitter brilliantly looking after my two cats. She has been punctual, helpful, professional and kind. She looked after them very well, sending pics and updates and leaving everything spotless. She has been amazing and a real relief during our last minute holidays 😽✨”
“Marriette looked after my two cats when I was away for one month holiday. She kept telling me how they got on with photos very frequently. I was able to enjoy my holiday without worrying about them. She was a great carer ”
“This is the first time we have used a sitter for our four cats 3 of which are over 15 years old. Alison came for a meet and greet before the booking, and our cats took to Alison right away (which is unusual for a couple of them). We booked Alison to come 3 times while we were away we also had a cat cam to keep an eye on them as well, just in case Alison had not seen them. One of our cats was sick, we messaged Alison to go and check the cats and asked her to clean it up as with the heat it would not have waited until her next visit. Alison went in and clean it up for us - nothing has been too much for her she has a lovely personality and all of our cats really took to her. We defiantly will be using Alison again - would have given her 10 stars - would highly recommend Alison”
“This is the second time Marie has looked after Romeo when we are away. Romeo obviously likes her and she is really great with him. She always let's us know how he is and sends great photos. I would highly recommend Marie to anyone who needs there pet looked after.”
“We would highly recommend Sophie to care for your furry family members. She kept us updated with photos, messages and videos everyday, this made us more relaxed knowing they were in safe hands. She took time to spend with our male cat who is nervous of strangers. She didn’t push him and allowed him to come to her when he was ready. Thank you so much Sophie”
About: Although my main experience is with dogs, I have cared for cats belonging to neighbours, friends and family over the years. I understand how important it is to respect their space and routines, and I always take time to make sure they feel comfortable and secure. I’m confident with feeding, playtime and companionship, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions for medication or care. My calm, patient nature as a teacher helps me adapt quickly to each cat’s personality, whether they are shy or sociable.
About: I love animals (but everyone on here says that don't they!) I also have real hands-on experience dealing with rescue dogs that had a bad start so maybe a little 'minxy' in their behaviours. I had a dog as a kid and have one now with a myriad of 'quirky' behaviors. I've taken online courses in Dog Behaviours and Zoopharmacognosy (self-medication in the animal kingdom) so you know I have an avid interest in the general well-being of all animals. I will be available for daytime sits in your home, drop ins and evening sits from August. I can work from home three days a week so am happy for short mid week sits as well as long as you have a good wifi/internet signal! I have a fenced garden and 1 dog, I will care for your pet however you instruct me to but have experience crating and making up games as and when needed. I can also assist with basic puppy training and have dog reactivity experience.

“Brendon was great with chubs - he came home and slept the entire evening so must’ve had lots of stimulation! Thanks so much, and for all of the updates, would recommend for anyone :)”
“Emily was absolutely amazing with our dogs. Right from the initial enquiry Emily was easy to contact, arranged a pre sit introduction and clearly explained every part of the process. She took time to discuss our dogs likes and traits and made sure they were comfortable with her. I felt she went above and beyond what I could have expected and I was extremely happy and confident in leaving them in Emily’s care.”
About: We have both grown up with dogs that we have trained, lived and recently lost. We can work from home or have a dog-friendly office if owners are comfortable with that My partner works as a nurse so is home some days during the week. I can WFH whenever needed and also have a dog-friendly office. While we do have the odd weekly hobby, we are mostly only out for an hour or 2 and typically one of us is in the house at any time. We have a fully fenced garden and live in a lovely countryside village which is perfect to take dogs for a walk. We do have a small cat who we are gradually introducing to dogs, so we do ask that your dog is cat friendly. Right now we have no stair gate so the dog will have full roam of the house.
“This was our first time using Rover and we were lucky enough to come across Fern and Dougie, her GoldenDoodle. Honey, our Cockerpoo, had a great time, and it was super seeing the pictures of their adventures. We have no hesitation in recommending Fern, and hope to book Honey in for boarding later in the year.”

“Our one year old cocker Frank recently spent a a couple of days with Claire & Ross. Frank tends to suffer from separation anxiety, however he very happily goes to Claire & Ross. We find Claire & Ross to be terrific hosts! Claire is soft & calm & Ross is jolly & commanding and very chilled, a great combination for looking after a lively anxious young dog. Ross took Frank on long walks along with his own dog & Frank had the run of the house which helped to make him feel and at home, so much better than kennels. I would definitely recommend Claire & Ross, in my opinion you won’t find better dog sitters!”
“Chubby always seems excited to go to Damarys, she keeps me updated and seems very knowledgable and aware of dog behaviour which is great! He’s always knackered when he comes back to us too so he must have lots of fun!”
“At short notice, I was able to book Ping Yan to look after our dog three times over half term for a full day. She was very professional, friendly and caring and I felt 100% confidence in her. She kept contact throughout the day sending videos and information about how our dog was doing, which was great. On the first day, we were stuck in London and got back much later than we had initially anticipated. Ping Yan was very understanding and kept telling us not to worry as we waited on delayed trains to get back to Cambridge. She made us feel very reassured which really helped. I can’t imagine that anyone would be anything but overjoyed at the way Ping looks after dogs so you have nothing to worry about with her. She was also very punctual whenever I texted her to say that we’d be downstairs in a few minutes to meet her.”
“Sandra had Ria for a long day while I was working in London and was absolutely fantastic - professional, well organised, super communication. Ria loved her stay so much she didn't want to leave when I collected her. I felt at all times that Ria was in safe hands and being well looked after and I wouldn't hesitate to use Sandra's services again or recommend her to anyone else.”
“Our dog absolutely loved staying with Hannah and Nalu!! Very quick responses and lots of updates throughout the day. Our dog is usually not very good with dogs, but Nalu made it really easy for him to adjust and have a blast☺️”

About: Hi my name is Steve and I have years of experience looking after friends' dogs and cats. I grew up with a labrador and (together with my wife and daughter) have been the proud owner of Sam, our (now almost) 7 year old cockapoo.

We regularly help out our parents with their 5 big rescue dogs of all different ages and personalities. We are very comfortable with walking, feeding and bathing all breeds of cats and dogs.

About: My family and I have fostered 10 dogs over the last 6 years. We have had dogs of all ages, sizes and difficulties.

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and I am hoping to work with animals as a full time job in the future. I am currently in university studying Veterinary Physiotherapy and I recently completed my level 3 Animal Management qualification at college. Due to my university schedule, I am only available during the holidays (Christmas, Easter and summer). I have previous work experience at the RSPCA looking after a range of dog breeds, including larger breeds like Huskies and Cane Corsos as well as small breeds like Chihuahuas and Terriers. During this experience, I have helped to walk dogs, clean out kennels, feed and play with dogs. I have also gained experience working with cats, rabbits, birds and other small animals at the RSPCA. I currently have a dog, who is a springer spaniel x poodle called Doodle, and a cat, called Pancake. I spend much of my free time taking Doodle on walks and playing and cuddling with her and Pancake whenever they want to. I have also on many occasions looked after pets of friends and family, including labradors, spaniels, jack russells, beagles, cats and rabbits. I am currently in university so I am only able to do pet sitting during the holidays. I am available around Christmas (19th Dec-10th Jan), Easter (20th Mar-4th Apr) and over the summer (10th May-Sept). The safety of your pets will always be my number one priority and I will ensure that I keep an eye on them so that they are safe and happy. I will listen to, follow and respect any rules or boundaries that you have when looking after your pets to keep both you and your pets happy and comfortable.

About: Are you looking for someone caring and reliable to take care/look after of your furry friend while you are on holidays, at work or simply you need an extra hand or walk in the evening and don't have the time? My name is Aurora, and I live in South Cambridge CB22 since July 2024 before I was in Essex between Braintree and Colchester where I was pet sitter in a few homes and still am when they go on holidays. 30+ living with dogs and cats and other animals. I have always loved pets, since I am a kid I've had different sort of dog breeds at home (cross breeds, labradors, mastiff, pitbull terrier...) small rodents like, jerbos, guinea pigs, rabbits... I've had birds, turtles and cats. 12+ since I became a pet sitter between Spain and the Uk I used to take care of other people and families pets when they used to go away, and I was living back in Spain. Now here in the UK, I keep doing the same as in taking care of people's pets while they are away or need help as daily, taking them out for a walk, coming and feed them, pet them, playtime, keep them company with lot of cuddles and love. I will always update you with photos & videos of your furry friend, photography is another passion I have so they will get 1000 of them! I do work in the mornings but I do work from home 3 days a week and sometimes 4 so in the case of staying over I can combine both jobs and over the weekend if needed. I'm flexible with the days I work from home. If you need me to check on your pet during the mornings/afternoons when I am home I can do 1pm-2pm, and then fully availability after 4pm. And when I am the the office once or twice a week I can do dog walking, or come to visit if you are away from 5:30-6pm For availability please do message me with the days, times and care you need :) If you would like more information about this services and rates please do send me a message or let meet and greet! I do take care for pets at their owners house, currently i don't own a place and lot allowed to bring pets home, so I do go to the owners place to take them out or staying over if they need me to :) I know some dogs are good off the leash, but I prefer to stablish first bond and good relationship with them before letting them off the their leash, this is for safety as dogs sometimes behave differently with other people until they stablish a relationship with the pet sitter and before this they can be unpredictable.
About: I have always had dogs in the family growing up. When I was a toddler and small child, my family had Mutley, a rescue spaniel, who was also known as Houdini! Following his passing, we had a small terrier, Alfie, who lived until he was 18! Then, at the turn of 2020, I rescued two Greek street dogs, Buddy and Bea, with my sister - they’re now 5 years old. Buddy and Bea often spend time with my parents who have vowed they don’t want another dog.. but love Buds & Bea! We had Alfie from a puppy and I was involved with his training with my father. Buddy and Bea were about 6 months old when they made their way to the UK. With my sister, I trained them at home in the garden - this was both toilet training and tricks! I work full time but predominantly from home, going into the office once or twice a week depending on what I have on. This means I have lots of time at home with the dogs and can take them out morning, lunch and noon. Generally, I play netball on a Saturday and Sunday but this only requires me to be out of the house for a few hours. So, those who have an animal staying with us, they must be ok being left alone for a couple of hours at a time. I have a totally enclosed and fenced garden with no escape route! This was essential as Bea often likes to find a way out! Whilst looking after your fur baby, I’d have Buddy and Bea stay with my parents so that your pet has my sole attention and focus. We have space to bring a crate if that’s preferred and we can discuss any sleeping arrangements which work for your little one.
About: What sets me apart is my flexibility and genuine love for animals. I work from home, so I can provide care throughout the day, including for pets that need extra attention or companionship. I'm also able to drive, making it easy for me to travel to your home. I've cared for pets with separation anxiety, high-energy dogs that need long walks, and pets that require more frequent care and supervision. I'll always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Working from home allows me to provide flexible, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs multiple walks, regular playtime, companionship, or extra supervision, I can easily adapt to their routine. I understand that some pets experience separation anxiety, so I'm happy to spend extra time with them to help them feel calm, safe, and comfortable while you're away. Every pet receives plenty of love, patience, and individual attention. While I'm unable to host pets in my own home because I have a cat, I'm happy to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Staying in a familiar environment helps reduce stress and keeps your pet in their usual routine. I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks (if needed), and lots of love while you're away.
About: I started my own little petsitting business from the age of 10, when I walked dogs and looked after a large range of smaller pets in Cambridge. I have experience of injecting insulin in pets and im happy to learn other medical needs. I have a cat of my own who's previously lived with a dog, and I also have pet rats. Im currently working a 0 hour contract at a school, while caring for my parents. Therefor I'm more available in school holiday times and weekends. Some weekdays I have online appointments, so I can easily fit that around petsitting :) I can care for pets in thier own houses over the holidays, or I can care at my house for shorter periods. I have an enclosed gravel back garden and a grassy front garden. My house os a short walk from the park or the community centre, so I can easily take a dog out.
“Brendan was great with Arnie, took him for a lovely long walk and shared some lovely pictures and videos. He managed to let him off lead as well and really wore him out! Brendan was also able to help out really last minute and super flexible 😊”
About: I’ve cared for animals for over 25 years, from tiny hamsters and ferrets to confident cats and sensitive dogs. I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and pace, and I adapt my care to match. I’m especially good with shy animals, neurodivergent households, and pets who need a calm, gentle presence. I never rush visits, and I pay close attention to routines, body language, and comfort levels. I have experience with puppies, seniors, nervous rescues, cats who prefer minimal interaction, and high-energy breeds who need stimulation and structure. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every home and every pet with the same care I give my own. My goal is simple: for you to feel fully at ease, and for your pet to feel safe, understood, and cared for. Animals shape the rhythm of my days. I work from home and keep a very grounded, predictable routine, so it’s easy for me to fit in regular walks, drop-ins, enrichment sessions, and feeding times. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s woven into how I live. When I care for your pets, I always prioritise safety, comfort, and low-stress routines so they feel secure while you’re away. Animals thrive in familiar environments, so all care takes place in your home, following their normal daily rhythm. What I do during each visit • Follow your exact feeding schedule and dietary instructions • Refresh water so it’s always clean • Clean litter trays, food areas, or small-pet spaces • Provide playtime, enrichment, cuddles, or quiet companionship, whatever your pet prefers • Respect boundaries for shy or anxious animals • Basic home checks (lights, curtains, post, bins, doors and windows locked) • Administer medication if needed • Keep everything clean, tidy, and exactly how I found it Your pet’s routine continues smoothly, helping to reduce stress and keep them happy. Communication & Peace of Mind After each visit, you receive: • Photos or videos • A written update • Notes on food, water, litter, behaviour and mood You’ll always know how your pet is doing. My Approach I care for animals with: • gentleness • patience • observation • calm handling • respect for each pet’s personality With many years of caring for my own animals (including cats, dogs and small pets) I understand how to create a safe, reassuring environment where pets feel loved and supported while you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up with many different animals including dogs, rabbits, cats and guinea pigs. I have my own energetic dog. I have completed 1 year of work experience at a veterinary school hospital and worked with many different breeds of dogs. I’m known to be trust worthy, reliable and full of fun. I’m available from Monday - Friday from the hours of 8am - 8pm, with the occasional latest 10pm for dog sitting if needed. I would love to spend my spare time with animals. I have a driving license of 2 years with a car, I am happy to take them to many different places for walks. I am happy to take your dog(s) to a fully enclosed dog field with obstacle courses and a splash pool if they can swim. They will be dried off before bringing them back into your home.
“Kristine walked our Deedee everyday for a week whilst I was working, everyday she was on time and done a brilliant job of looking after Deedee whilst she was with her. 10/10 would recommend”
About: I have been caring for pets for 20+ years, including my own dog and looking after neighbours' and friends' dogs. I have experience with various breeds such as Chow Chows, Labradors, Jack Russell Terriers, Border Terriers, Cocker Spaniels, Dachshunds, English Bulldogs, Shih Tzu mixes, and Romanian rescues. I have trained my own puppy and am comfortable administering medication. I can handle multiple pets and have dealt with challenging behaviours, including helping my reactive rescue dog overcome her fears. While I don't have specific experience with special needs pets, my adaptability as a teacher allows me to provide excellent care. I can provide references from previous pet owners I have cared for. I have recently returned to work as a full-time teacher at a school in Girton. Therefore, I will not be at home during the day. However, I am still offering sitting services in the evenings and on weekends. Additionally, if you are comfortable with it, I am happy to have your pet stay at my house during the day. During the school holidays I will be able to stay at yours or have your pet at mine, where I will be at home during the day. During term time, you live somewhere with easy access to Girton, I am happy to house sit then too. I work full time, leaving for work at 7am but I do have a bit of time in the mornings. I also finish at 4pm so I also have time after work during the week. My weekends are quite free so I’d be more than happy to help out then, too! Additionally, I am more than happy to look after your furry friends during the school holidays. I ensure that the home is pet-proofed and secure, minimising any potential hazards. I follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and medication, maintaining their routine as closely as possible. I provide plenty of love, attention, and playtime to keep the pets happy and engaged. Additionally, I maintain open communication with the pet owner, providing regular updates and photos to give them peace of mind. We have a wonderful large garden which is secure as well as plenty of fantastic walking routes from our front door!
About: Since leaving home and having my own place, I have looked after other people's and had my own pets. Looking after has including weeing, feeding and walking. I am fun, energetic and always keen to help others! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy structuring my day around walks, feeding times, play, and companionship. I’m active and outdoorsy, so regular walks and exercise are easy to slot in, and I can work at home to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and affection throughout the day. On a weekly basis, I plan ahead to make sure each pet’s routine is consistent, calm, and tailored to their needs. I always prioritise safety, trust, and comfort. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding instructions, walking preferences, and any medical or behavioural needs. In my home, pets have a calm, clean, and secure environment with plenty of space, a fenced garden, supervision, and enrichment. In an owner’s home, I’m respectful and reliable, keeping everything as it was left and maintaining the pet’s normal routine to minimise stress. I keep doors, gates, and leads secure at all times, avoid unfamiliar risks, and provide regular updates so owners can feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I have had dogs all my life. I have taken care of dogs with disabilities and behavior issues. And I am currently studying zoology because I am a huge animal lover. I am currently a full-time student and I have the summer off. So I will be available for pet care all day if I am needed. I have my own dog who is 7 years old. I treat every animal as if they were my own. I have water, and treats with me when out for walks.
“This was my first time using William to walk my dog Betty and I was very happy with the experience. He arrived early, was friendly and professional, and immediately put both Betty and me at ease. Betty can be a little hesitant with new people, but she seemed very comfortable with William. He took her on an hour-long walk and it was clear she enjoyed herself. I’ve already booked him for another walk and some overnight stays. Would recommend!”

They’ve also dog proofed the furniture so you can rest assured plenty dog cuddles will be had! We are very happy with Harry and his family’s care for our boys.”
“Kris and Nick were amazing with my dog Monty. They looked after him really well and he had a great time with them as he came back and was knackered! They kept me updated with him while I was away and really kept me at ease during is staying. Thanks so much and I will definitely be using again!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!! From our initial meeting, it was obvious Ludo loved her, which immediately put me at ease. She has so much experience with animals, both professionally and personally, and it really shows. I received regular updates throughout the weekend, so I never had to worry. I actually felt a bit guilty picking him up because he was clearly having such a great time!😂 I will certainly be booking with her again and would highly recommend Wendy ☺️”
“We couldn't have asked for anyone better to look after Sparky. May took incredible care of her and kept us updated throughout the stay with photos, videos and messages. Sparky clearly loved her time with May and looked so happy and settled in every update we received. May really understood what she needed and was very accommodating to Sparky's habits. We are so grateful for everything she did for Sparky and would recommend her to everybody, especially those looking for somebody with a great understanding of dogs and experience caring for elderly dogs. Thank you May!!”
“Bibiana gave great attention and care for our Golden Retriever for about a week. She loved the big garden out back and loved having the whole family to play with. Highly recommended.”

“We are so grateful to Claire and Ross for looking after Ava so well and like one of their own. She had a great holiday with them and Syd! We had a great holiday knowing she was being so well cared for, we enjoyed the regular updates, photos and videos of her enjoying her time with them - thank you both so much!”
“I’m incredibly happy with the care Zeus received while staying with Will. He was brilliant and even helped keep on top of Zeus’s training, which is so important (and very much needed!) with a lively Boxer puppy. On pick-up, Zeus was happy, well-adjusted, and clearly well cared for. I’m especially grateful that Will was available for this booking, as his experience with the Boxer breed and training his own service dog, Orion, gave me real peace of mind. The regular updates, complete with photos and videos, were so reassuring. I’d happily send Zeus again in the future and would highly recommend Will to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and caring sitter.”
“Our dog had such a fun few days with Lauren, her family and their doggy friends! Lauren sent wonderful photos and videos so we knew he was having a ball!”
“We needed Cooper looking after for my works Christmas do. Having only recently got Cooper it was our first time leaving him. Marcus and Cheryl made us feel instantly relaxed and welcomed Cooper straight into their home on the meet and greet. They put our minds at rest and were extremely flexible for us, making sure we had a good night and Cooper was looked after. We got regular photos and couldn't have asked for more. Really impressed and also very much appreciate it. Very highly recommend and only have good things to say!!”
“What a great experience- our little fluff ball had a wonderful time and we enjoyed regular updates, videos and pics. We will definitely use Tahiana again and would highly recommend, recommend, recommend!”
“Terry was fantastic - took great care to make sure Ted had a good week with him, including asking questions beforehand about Ted’s likes & dislikes, and taking him on lots of great walks. Ted bonded really well with Terry, and it was good to know he was being so well cared for while I was away.”
“Hector had a lovely time while I was away on a long overdue holiday. She messaged every day and sent pictures showing me what he was up to. I was worried he'd be really sad because he's a rescue dog and does suffer with separation anxiety but he seemed to have an absolute blast! Hope to book with Liz again!”
“This is our second time booking with Ricci and he continues to be fantastic. Ricci watched our pups for several days while we were holiday and he did an excellent job. It was clear from the moment we returned that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and very well taken care of. He’s reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely great with animals, which gave us incredible peace of mind while we were away. We will absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
