“The lovely Alix did drop in visits for my nervous rescue cat and did a fantastic job of keeping him calm and happy. I will definitely ask Alix to visit again. Thank you!”


“Just fantastic. What a wonderful person! I couldn’t believe my very timid cat was happy to have strokes and fuss from Seana, she’s obviously a cat whisperer. Highly recommended and would definitely ask her to look after our cats again. Thank you Seana!”


“Rhiannon came to meet the doggies and I today before looking after them tommorrow. She very quickly picked up on all of their little quirks and they all seemed very at ease with her. I feel very happy leaving them in her care.”


“Freya looked after our two cats at our home for a few days, she looked after them so kindly and got to know them both! She also made sure our home was well looked after as well, and kept us updated with texts and videos of the cats every time she visited. She was excellent and we will definitely use her again, we highly recommend!”


“We would 100% recommend Susan & we would definitely use her again! This was the first time we’ve ever used a house/pet sitter and we were really happy with how it all went. John was really happy and content & Susan gave us updates which we loved getting whilst being away! Our house was also left just as we’d left it and Susan looked after all our plants for us too which we were very grateful for!”


“Julie is such a lovely person! She gave me regular updates and photos of my fur babies. They both enjoyed her company and were very content. Everything completed as asked. Even with being let down so close to my booking with someone else, she accepted my late booking. Always so speedy with replies 🙂 Will absolutely book again, especially knowing my cats were so happy & well looked after.”


“Molly has been absolutely fantastic with my cat - sending me lots of photos and videos but also from the get go I felt I could trust her which is obviously very important. I highly recommend Molly and I will be asking for her help again.”


About: I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse with 10 years of experience in caring for Dogs, Cats and exotic species. I am also happy to take care of any pets that need a medical condition monitoring of daily medications given. I am a Locum RVN so work at practices as and when I want to.

I have walked, feed and looked after dogs for family, friends and love spending time with them and seeing their little personalities shine through, they become my bestie and i love it. I work remotely from home, so I’m always here! I may be able to accommodate any request, please contact me and i can check my schedule. While walking your dog every measure is taken to ensure safety including on the lead and by the roads. If your dog has any training that you wish me to follow, please do let me know. I will treat your dog how I treat my own and he is my fur baby :-)

About: I am an animal lover and study zoology and have a diploma in animal management and have work experience in a cattery and at a vets, I love to give dogs my attention and affection and love to see them happy. I am 20 years old and have always wanted a dog but have been happy with any pets that I have had and love them all dearly. I understand that owners want what’s best for their dogs and want them to be cared for in the way that they care for them and want to feel at ease when they are leaving their dogs with a stranger that they hardly know. I also love taking walks into woods, parks and on beaches and can walk for as long as the owner is happy for me to walk their dog. I will also play with their dog while I’m with them and ensure that all their needs are met and will clean the dog if they become dirty for whatever reason so the owner is at ease when they see their dog again without any worries. Also, on the course that I do we learn about behaviour and diseases so I know what signs to look out for if the dog is unwell or unease.
