“Very grateful to Daniel for helping with my pup Levi at short notice. He was great with Levi and with me as I can be a bit nervous leaving Levi as he’s a bit shy! Thanks Daniel 🤩”
15. Siyi l.
“Siyi is honestly amazing with dogs. She took care of mine a few times, and I could tell right away that she just gets animals. My dog loved her—he’d get so excited every time she came over. She’s super caring but also knows how to gently set boundaries, which I really appreciated. She kept him on his routine, took him out for fun walks, and made sure he got plenty of playtime and attention. I felt totally at ease knowing he was with someone so trustworthy and experienced. If you’re looking for someone who’s kind, responsible, and just really great with dogs, Siyi is your person.”


16. Eirini Konstantina M.
“She is very humble and kind. Eirini have walked my dog Aris quite often. Aris seems to love spending time with her and I feel I can trust her. As my circumstances have changed I don’t call her very often but she is the first person I will go to. Highly recommended 🐶: Thank you for everything Eirini”


17. 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!


18. Charlotte D.
“Charlotte is a keen dog lover with a lifetime of experience of caring and loving dogs. She has a passion for animal care and loves meeting new dogs with a keen sense for animal safety.”


19. Peiqi Z.

“Peiqi was very professional and trustworthy. She always answered my messages very quickly and she sent loads of pictures of Al, my cat, while she was with him, which I love. Al seemed to enjoy his time with her, so I would recommend her!”


20. Katie M.

“Katie did a great job dropping in on my cat Lola and sent plenty of photos and updates that made me feel at ease whilst away. Thanks very much!”
