Denise was brilliant with our dog Bailey. He can be a nervous boy and has separation anxiety so she was really attentive to him. So much so he was missing her after she left! Brilliant and will book again!

Celia looked after Finn at my place for the day. They got along really well and he was clearly very happy with her! Celia’s comms were quick and clear, she arrived on time and took care of the place. Great sitter and will definitely book again.

Clodagh looked after my young fox red lab Albert for a few days while I was away with work. She was fantastic - getting to know his routine, and being very communicative with lots of photos and pupdates! Albert loved Clodagh!

Ciara is great with Nova! She takes Nova for big walks at the beach and Nova always looks suitably tired and content when I return home. All in all Ciara is great with dogs and very trustworthy ?

Bonnie stayed in our home to look after our greyhound and cat while we were overseas. We felt very comfortable leaving our pets and house with Bonnie as she is kind, loving and responsible. She seems to really enjoy being around animals and it is obvious that they love her, too. Bonnie kept us updated with photos and videos, which gave us much peace of mind during our trip. We appreciated that she kept to the animals' usual schedule and gave the cat as much attention as the dog. At the end of her stay, the animals and our home were as we left them. We would definitely book Bonnie again to look after our pets, but I fear once people find out how amazing she is, she might not be able to fit us into her busy schedule. (Also, her photos are amazing. She really captures the animals' personalities. I might make one of them into a t-shirt. 😄)

Alex was a fantastic dog sitter, gave us lots of updates on the dog and plants! She spotted when my dog had hurt his paw and took appropriate action to help him get better. 10/10 would book again.

Thalia was wonderful! Not only did she communicate flawlessly and was available at rather short notice, she and her partner also helped me out with some transport issues. But most importantly, Agon absolutely loved her. When I returned home he didn’t even get up to greet me because he was so happy cuddling on the sofa. ? I would definitely contact her again and can’t recommend her highly enough.

Daria was great! She came over to meet Ziggy in advance of our booking to get to know him and have a chat about his care needs. She was also quick communicative during that whole process and then was great with Ziggy, giving me photos and updates throughout the day. I felt really safe in the knowledge that Ziggy was in good hands and would absolutely use her services again. Thanks Daria.

Sadhbh is a caring and enthusiastic person, who I take many hikes with in and around the hills surrounding Edinburgh. As someone who is used to walking her friends and familys dogs, and a cat owner herself, she is the perfect person to take on the responsibility of looking after your pet.

Adam is amazing, he is so friendly and confident with both us and our dogs. He talked to us on how he is experienced with providing this service in the past back home in the US. He really showed how he is experienced with dogs and gained the trust of ours so quickly. He stayed in our home whilst we were away and he left it very clean and tidy. He also sent to photos of them on walks and relaxing at home to keep our minds at ease. We wouldn’t not hesitate to use Adam again and would happily recommend him to anyone.
