1. Kirsty S.

“Kirsty is lovely and looked after our two dogs really well, she also went out of her way to come and meet them before the sit which was great. I'd highly recommend her and would love to have her look after Dora and Buster again.”


2. Cece O.

“Just home from 2 nights away , Cece as been amazing, it’s such a relief to have found her.. we’ve a Pointer & Viszla so quite high maintenance & I’m not confident at leaving them. However Cece came & met the the weekend before & we did a local walk. Cece is lovely lady knowledgeable & very suited to looking after your pets. I have to say it’s been so reassuring messages & pictures & I haven’t worried at all. I’d never leave my dogs with anyone unless I was 100% confident in the sitter. Cece really looked after the dogs & our home & we hope now to be able to use her as our sitter … Thanks so much Cece love Otto & Edie x?”


3. Tim S.

“I can’t recommend Tim enough. Tim stayed in our time with our dog Akela for 2 weeks while we were away. He was absolutely great with Akela, gave him plenty of walks, attention and love. Tim also treated our home with respect and it was nice and clean when we arrived home. Tim provided regular updates and photos of walks and Akela which we were absolutely delighted to see coming. Tim really went above and beyond when minding Akela and I would have him mind Akela again in a heart beat and we will very soon.”


4. Jo W.

“Jo was absolutely perfect for our reactive, strong rescue dog! Jo is warm, kind and sent us updates but most importantly left us feeling totally reassured that our anxious dog would be loved and well looked after. Our dog also took to Jo and her wonderfully warm energy instantly, as did we. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!”

10. Mia V.

“Mia’s kind and gentle manner was perfect for our elderly dog. She visited in advance of the dog-sitting and it was clear that she was a good match for Rudy. We found her to be reliable and trustworthy, and I fully recommend her dog-sitting service. We would welcome her back in our home.”


11. Jude B.

13. Penelope H.
About: I look after my dogs in the week… they are both older dogs so have individual needs which I adhere to. I have looked after friends and family’s pets several times over the years. I currently a student in my first year so have lots of flexibility. I can be available early in the mornings and late in the evenings! I have chicken wired my whole garden so your dog will stay safe! Alternatively I will ensure to follow instruction of your dogs needs for their safety!


14. Harsh C.
“Harsh is highly recommended by me. We recently had to travel for a family emergency and were worried about leaving our beloved Cane Corso, Luther. He's a big boy with a lot of energy, but also a gentle giant at heart. From the moment we met Harsh, we knew Luther would be in good hands. Harsh is incredibly responsible, with a genuine love for animals. He took the time to understand Luther's personality and needs, making sure he felt comfortable and happy during his stay. We received daily updates and photos, which put our minds at ease. We could see Luther was having a blast with walks, playtime, and all the cuddles he could handle. When we picked him up, Luther was relaxed and content, a true testament to the amazing care Harsh provided. If you're looking for a trustworthy, loving pet caregiver for your furry friend, look no further than Harsh! He's an absolute lifesaver for owners of large breeds like Cane Corsos.”


15. Harry C.

“Harry and Fergus got on like a house on fire! Harry was brilliant at keeping in touch while we were away and we were totally confident that Fergus was excellently cared for. Absolutely would recommend and now we’ve found him, we’ll definitely invite him to help us again. Harry is brilliant!”


16. Amber L.
“Amber is an incredibly responsible and caring person. She's attentive,patient and truly loves animals. I trust her completely around all animals and highly recommend her.”


17. Alfie D.

“Alfie was really good! Riley had an amazing time and went on lots of walks. He was calm and relaxed on our return showing he had a great time!! Alfie stayed in our house and we returned to it clean and tidy so thank you!! I would highly recommend”


18. Eleanor R.
About: I have always grown up with dogs and cats, having labradors, border terriers, and two german shorthaired pointers as well as two tabbies. I love animals of all sizes and shapes and have a genuine love for keeping them happy and healthy!! I have helped around the village i lived in before coming to uni with home visits and walks. And now I am at university, not only am I missing all of my pets, but I would love to be able to help out with busy schedules. I have trained two puppies, my german shorthaired pointer is a full working dog and I did lots of the training with that. I have also looked after a 15 year old dog, so I am very versatile with all ages and all sizes. I am also first aid trained for animals. At uni I currently only have Tuesdays that are full with uni work, but on mondays, thursdays and fridays I am free apart from one one hour block. I am also free on Sundays all day. I will just ask about specifics of what you do and don’t allow in your house, as to not create any naughty habits. Pets will not be left unattended for any period longer than an hour, and when I am with them i will make sure to play and take them on regular walks to keep them entertained and happy.


19. Prashant K.

“Prashant spent 4 days with Bonnie. He was attentive and provided a very good dog sitting service.”


20. Maxine W.
About: Hi! My name is Maxine! *Lower Winter Prices* I have lowered my prices for services as I am less concerned about how much money I receive but rather more about the experience! I believe it is better to be more affordable for you as you are actually giving me the amazing service of quality time with your pets! I have frequently house sitted and walked pets for friends and family over the past seven years and have had a dog myself for ten years and a cat for four so I know the effort and care required to look after them and that every pet is different! I’m trustworthy and reliable and I’ll make sure all needs are properly catered for and that I am always on time. Your pets needs take priority so feel free to message me any requests or questions you may have! I love long walks on my own finding them relaxing and enjoyable so it will be even better with a dog for company. My own dog sadly passed a year ago and so some canine company would be very welcome and loved because as much as I love my cat, it’s not the same as a dog! I work with enthusiasm and very thoroughly as I know how important the health and happiness of peoples pets may be to them. I will try my best to give your pet the best experience! I have had dogs myself that have suffered with epilepsy and other conditions such as cancer, metal joints and breathing issues and so am able to look after and feel comfortable with dogs with medical needs! I would love the chance to have a nice walk with some canine company or to cuddle and hangout with your pups or kittens!! It’s the perfect way to distress… or at least be stressed in another way!! I have very flexible hours and would be more than happy to meet owners before caring if that makes you more comfortable! * I am aware there are multiple cancellations in my reviews. In my past I have struggled with an unpredictable health condition leading to cancellations and I also have responsibilities towards family and friends in hospital which are sometimes urgent*. I will always go my best to let you know in advance if I can’t make it but as with everyone sometimes life doesn’t work that way and is unpredictable. Just wanted to make any bookers aware of the reasoning in case they were worried. I am currently working a flexible job and so in most cases I will definitely be able to take your gorgeous pooch for a walk or spend time with them! I will not be able to have your pets in my own home due to landlord restrictions but I will gladly follow any instructions given to me when house sitting and dog walking and make sure to respect your rules and boundaries and take care of your pet to the highest of my ability!
