Hamish was great with our dogs, he was very aware of how our two dogs behaved and quickly adapted to their needs to make them feel comfortable. He’s very friendly and polite, and we are very happy to get our dogs under his care.

Is there an option for giving more than five stars? Absolutely delighted and couldn't be happier we have met Daria. After our Chili having met Daria twice prior to a five night housesit, we knew we'd have confidence in leaving her to look after our Podenco and our flat while we were abroad. Daria far exceeded our expectations. She gave regular detailed updates but required nothing from us, fully having the task of dog and house-sitting under control. We felt like we could actually enjoy being away knowing that both were being looked after so well. Daria is completely stress-free and easy to work with; her competence is truly professional but with humour and a personal touch. She gave clear communication upon departure so we knew what to expect when we arrived, offering her flexibility in case anything were to go wrong with our return flights. I cannot overstate how excellent she has been. She then went above and beyond - not only was Chili happy and well, we were astonished to find our flat tidy and clean when we returned, noting that Daria had hoovered the flat, cleaned the kitchen, prepared the laundry, and left our house spotless. We've had close family friends paid to housesit Chili in the past who haven't offered a fraction of the respect and care that we've experienced with Daria. Thank you, Daria.

Iina was amazing! Our babies loved having her here with them. She asked for our daily schedules and she followed it better than we do 😂 she sent photos daily and spent lots of time playing and giving them cuddles. Will definitely be rebooking her again!

This is the second time we have had the pleasure to work with Ieva and I couldn’t be happier with her professionalism and level of care she provided for our young dog Mago. He looked happy, relaxed and at ease with her. Even cried a bit when Ieva left…

Sarah has looked after our dog Marlow a few times, and has been nothing but fantastic. The most recent time was for a 10 day trip, and it was wonderful knowing that Marlow was so well taken care of. Sarah was easy to communicate with, provided frequent updates, and Marlow obviously adores her!

If I could give more stars, I absolutely would! Kathleen has been absolutely amazing and sent photos of Levi and updates throughout the trip! Then when we had some troubles getting back from Dublin, she was incredibly flexible and understanding of us getting stuck in a day of nightmare travel. It made an otherwise incredibly chaotic day very calm knowing that my dog was in such capable hands ♥️ he already has his next walk booked ☺️

Velveth has always loved pets. She’s kind and caring, and it shows every time she’s with cats or dogs. One of my favorite memories with her is when we gave food and water to stray dogs in Mexico. It’s a moment I’ll always remember, and it really shows how much she cares for animals. I highly recommend her as a loving and reliable pet caregiver!

Mareli is a fantastic pet sitter! She took such good care of our dog and we felt so comfortable leaving him with her. Our dog, Wallace, took an instance liking to her and I could tell she is very much a dog person. Mareli is super organised! She contacted us for a meet-up before the booking, checked in on all of our dog's needs and was very responsive to messages. We would book again with no hesitation.

Mary was great! She was very professional, listened carefully to the instructions on Yogi's care, and really took good care of him. She communicated throughout and gave us lots of photos and updates as well, and our pup Yogi was happy and tired when we came home! I would definitely recommend booking her and will surely be using her services again for our Yogi!

She followed all the instructions perfectly and gave us several updates about how he was doing through the day, and she was punctual and professional. Yogi really enjoyed his days with her! Overall highly recommend her and would definitely book her again to look after our wee pup!

If you want peace of mind your pet is in good hands and can trust they will enjoy great days that will consist of a loving companion than Charlotte is your person. Charlotte has grown up with dogs and cats. She has taken her own dog to agility and training classes and has also taken him to swimming lessons. Her cat loves cuddling up for strokes, playing games and following her around. Charlotte has helped out over the years raising money for an animal charity Brysons by donating lots of cuddly toys, helping walk the dogs and she has sponsored the animals. Charlotte has also has supported and never missed a Brysons Christmas Eve event every year since the age of three. I am confident that Charlotte will be loved by your pet. Your dog will enjoy the tummy rubs, exercise games and walks. And your cat will enjoy her loving nature. I would highly recommend Charlotte she is reliable, responsible and has a very caring nature towards all animals.
