11. Siyi l.
“Alice looked after my dog while I was away on a business trip, and I couldn’t have asked for someone more reliable and caring. She was incredibly patient and attentive—taking my dog on regular walks, feeding her right on schedule, and even sending me photo updates that gave me peace of mind. Although my dog was unfamiliar to her at first, Alice quickly bonded with her and treated her with so much love and understanding. It was clear she genuinely adores animals. I came home to a happy, healthy, and well-groomed pup who clearly enjoyed her time. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly kind-hearted to care for your pet, I highly recommend Alice.”

16. Emily H.
About: Hi! My name is Em and I am a Final year vet student. In roughly 8 months I will be graduated. In this field of work I have a lot of experience in animal care and behaviour, over 12 weeks of animal husbandry and 13 weeks of clinical experience with animals, as well as daily experience whilst on rotations, constantly practicing my hands on skills and participating in surgeries etc. I had the privilege of owning my own dog from the age of 8, till when she sadly passed. I currently own an Italian Greyhound puppy who is obsessed with other dogs! If you would be comfortable if would be great socialisation for them to be together, otherwise my wee pup can be kept separately at all times. I am free every weekend, for walks and pet sitting. In the week days I am free after 6pm for the latter and odd days in the week (typically Wednesday afternoons!) As mentioned I own an Italian Greyhound puppy and so she would be around-if you were comfortable with this. My room is completely dog proof (for my baby Olive), fitted with stairs to the bed and to the couch- perfect for puppies and older dogs with arthritis/reduced mobility. I have a small room of my flat for puppy pads, however I would be sure to take your dog outside to go to the toilet and for a walk whenever you see fit! If I would be staying in your home, I would keep the place as I found it. I respect other peoples privacy and belongings. Any particular requests will be listened to and I am happy to accomodate any special needs for your dog!
17. Kassandra C.
“Kass is a fantastic dog walker and a true animal lover! She has lots of experience as a dog owner, including with larger breeds of dogs, and is knowledgeable and effective when it comes to training and managing behaviour. She is also a skilled cat owner, and would make an excellent pet sitter. She is kind, professional, conscientious and friendly, and can be relied upon to take an animal’s well-being into account at all times. She is adept at remaining in control during all situation and at making sure a dog is safe and supervised during any situation. Finally, your pets can always expect love, care and attention from Kass. She won’t let you or your animals down.”
18. Ellen C.
“First and foremost Ellen is a dog lover. She always connects with the dog in any gathering or household. Dog welfare is of great importance to her. I would highly recommend her as a dog caregiver.”
19. Zuryab A.
“Zuryab is a great pet lover and she puts in her heart when taking care of pets. She has recently helped me take care of 2 complicated German shepherds and she has aced it. Both dogs loved spending time with her and became so much less anxious when she was around.”
20. Sara S.
“Sara ha cuidado de mi gata y el perro de mis padres que es muy mayor y necesita de medicinas y atención veterinaria muy frecuente. Ha sido un encanto y los ha cuidado con mucho cariño. Cuando la necesitamos no dudamos en contactar con ella.”
