My dog had the best time with Isobel. I can’t wait for something to come into my diary so I can book her again! She could not be more lovely and was great at sending me updates and photos.

Kelly recently looked after our 2.5 yr old cockapoo Ginny for 4 days. Kelly was fantastic, super communicative and was very accommodating with Ginny’s separation anxiety. We also had delayed flights and taxi issues meaning we were not back until 2am, which Kelly was very gracious of. Overall 100/10, will definitely be booking Kelly for any future sitting we will need! Thank you!

Thank you so much for looking after Bow so well! Sophie was great with our dog Bow when we went out for the day and kept us informed with lots of pictures and messages. He instantly clicked with her from the first meet and greet and it was clear she was very kind and caring towards animals. Will definitely ask Sophie to look after our doggy again in future if we need it. Thanks again.

Amiee is a natural with dogs and they warm to her instantly. Her communication in the run up to house sitting and on the day was excellent. Her relaxed and friendly manner puts dogs and humans at ease making her a super house sitter. Would recommend :)

Becky looked after our sweet girl Meg on several occasions over the last few years, she had her stay with her and her lovely family whilst we went on holidays, Meg had a wonderful time and I was sent daily photos. She popped in over the years to check on Meg if we were out all day, even rushing over once to feed her for us as we were held up, she messaged to say she had stayed with her for a bit and put the lamps on for when it would get dark later, she went above what you asked for and in the best way. She also took her on walks for us during lockdown and those months after as we were unable to go out. Meg absolutely loved her and got so excited to see her, it was peace of mind for us as we knew our girl was being well looked after (spoilt) Then when our girl sadly passed away last September Becky was wonderful and so thoughtful, she was deeply saddened herself by the news as she loved Meg dearly and has since been over to put a plant on her resting place in our garden. She truly loves dogs and genuinely cares about them.

Highly Recommend Jade she’s been absolutely amazing with my dogs and I have two very stubborn strong headed German shepherds , Jasper and jacs who can be quite a handful. Jade has been walking my dogs for some time now once a week as I have requested and she’s always on time and always has the dogs best interests at heart. My dogs are always really excited to see Jade and know they are about to be spoilt with love, kisses and treats it’s their favourite part of the week as they get those longer walks. Jade has had my dogs to stay the night previously and have me regular updates and made sure to write down all my instructions and made sure my dogs were well looked after and followed their usual routine ,jade is 1000% my favourite I don’t trust easily with my pets but with Jade I’m always kept in the loop and are aware of what they are doing! Thank you for everything Jade

About: We have been pet owners our whole lives (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, ferrets, birds, giant african land snails) as well as looking after houses and pets for family and friends for years. Our gorgeous boy (shi tzu x poodle called Oliver) died 3 years ago and so we decided to do more travelling and use the love we have for animals to take care of other people's beloved pets when they aren't home. We have a campervan that we travelled in for 2 months in 2024 (as part of 3 months of travelling) and from January 2025 we plan to build a life that is a combination of being in our campervan and house / pet sitting. I am an accountant and business coach and work remotely so take my work with me wherever we go. My partner Anthony worked as a paint sprayer for construction companies since leaving school right up until leaving Jan25 ready for us to start our new chapter and adventures together. He has now joined me supporting clients in our bookkeeping and accounting business. We are both in our mid 40s, so mature adults. Anthony has two adult children and four grandchildren too 😊 As lifelong animal lovers with experience caring for dogs, cats and small animals, we understand that every pet is unique and deserves personalised care. We specialise in providing a calm, loving environment and excel at meeting the needs of pets of all ages - whether it's playful attention for energetic animals or gentle care for those that are a little older, slower or just more sensitive. What sets us apart is our attention to detail and ability to adapt to each pet's individual personality, routine and needs. We take the time to understand their quirks, favourite activities and specific requirements. If your pet needs extra walks, cuddles or even has a favourite game, we've got it covered. We provide peace of mind to pet parents by maintaining open communication with updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry family are in capable hands. We also take extra special care of your home, ensuring everything is taken care of as you would want it to be and that you have a clean and tidy home to return to after your travels. If you want a grocery delivery ready for when for you get home, we'll sort that too. As an accountant and business coach who works remotely, I have the flexibility to take my work with me wherever we go. This allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for your pets, ensuring their needs are met with consistency and attention. My partner Anthony recently joined me in our bookkeeping and accounting business after years of working in construction and together, we’re starting an exciting new chapter of adventures. This lifestyle enables us to fully embrace opportunities like pet sitting while providing your furry family members with all the care and companionship they need throughout the day. Your pet’s routine is priority in our days and we seamlessly fit the rest of our flexible schedule around their needs, whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just being there to keep them happy and loved. When caring for pets in your home, our top priority is their safety, comfort and well-being. We understand that pets thrive in familiar surroundings, and we take pride in maintaining their routine and environment just as you would. We treat your home and pets with the utmost respect, ensuring your space is kept clean, tidy and secure while you’re away. We’re diligent about following your instructions, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or favourite activities, so your pets feel as happy and cared for as if you were there yourself. Working remotely allows us to provide consistent companionship throughout the day, reducing any stress or separation anxiety your pets may feel. You can also expect regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind that they’re in loving and capable hands. With us, your furry (or feathery) family will be safe, happy, and cherished in the comfort of their own home.

Couldn’t have been happier with the care Nirantara gave sitting my two dogs. By the time I got home I could see they had really bonded with her and had a great time. Nirantara clearly knows dogs well and how to be with them. My pair are a lively two year old and an ageing 15 year old with different needs which Nirantara ably met and understood. She was a pleasure to have as a dog sitter in my home and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or use again.
