“Sarah is fantastic. She looked after Lenny while my partner and I were at a wedding and Lenny loved the toys she brought with her. She met with Lenny prior to sitting and was thorough in learning about his needs. She also sent us lots of useful and interesting information about dogs. We will be booking Sarah regularly to look after our gorgeous boy.”
2. João M.
“João took excellent care of Lisbela (my senior Labrador) and Mwanito (my cat) while staying at our house during our travels. He sent us plenty of videos and pictures, showing the love and attention he gave to our pets. In addition, João is incredibly organized and left our house tidy and spotless upon our return. Communication with João was seamless, and he was always kind and thoughtful. I couldn't recommend him more highly. Our pets adore João! Thanks to him, we can travel with peace of mind, knowing our home and furry family members are in the best hands.”
3. Molly B.
“We recently had the pleasure of having Molly look after our newly adopted dog, Buddy, for 5 nights while we were on holiday, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Molly's extensive experience with dogs made her the perfect choice, and we are so glad we entrusted Buddy to her care. Molly went above and beyond and was happy enough to do a meet and greet beforehand to ensure Buddy was a good fit for her, which we believe contributed to a smooth and successful house sit. During our time away, she took exceptional care of Buddy, sticking to his routine and asking all the right questions. We greatly appreciated the regular updates and pictures Molly sent us, which gave us peace of mind knowing Buddy was happy and well-cared for. Upon our return, we were greeted by a cheerful Buddy and a spotless house. Thank you so much, Molly, for your outstanding care and dedication. This certainly won't be Buddy's last time seeing you! Aziza, Deacon, and Buddy 🐾”
4. Sudhanshu J.
“I cannot recommend Sudhanshu highly enough for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. My Labrador, who has struggled with anxiety and high energy issues, was in his care, and the experience was nothing short of incredible. Sudhanshu handled my dog’s needs with patience, expertise, and genuine care. He made sure my dog received plenty of physical activity to burn off excess energy while also creating a calm and nurturing environment to ease his anxiety. What truly stood out was the consistent communication—he provided regular updates, including video calls every 90 minutes or whenever I requested, which gave me complete peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone so attentive and dedicated to a pet’s well-being. My Labrador came back home happy, relaxed, and well-exercised—a testament to Sudhanshu's exceptional care. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust him again and wholeheartedly recommend him to any pet owner!”

6. Sarah S.
“Sarah is great! She did a house sit for us and our two dogs for a weekend and was fab. She came and met the dogs in advance and saw the house. Our dogs take multiple medications and she was comfortable and great with handling these. She sent picture updates throughout the stay as well and took great care of the house. Definitely recommend.”

8. Isobel B.
“Very pleasant young lady. She was very cooperative and helped us when we were dire need.”
9. Holly M.
“What can we say about Holly?! Well, she's kind, caring, attentive, respectful of your home, very patient with your fur baby & gives a 5 star service. We were nervous at leaving our older dog with someone other than family but we shouldn't have been as Mollie was in perfect hands. Walked, fed & loved everyday as well as given her meds & massaged as our older furry lady has arthritis. Can't wait for her next visit.”
10. Vlada M.
“Vlada was incredible taking care of our pets. When we got home the house was flawless and the pets very happy, healthy and calm. They really liked Vlada and so did us. Super recommend and definitely we will call Vlada again when we travel. The communication was great, we received photos and videos and the pets were happy at it.”
11. Aimee G.
“Aimee took great care of my dog. She is talented, consistent and reliable. I found my puppy very calm, and very excited and I could tell she had a great time and was well fed, rested and happy. Aimee was really, devoted to her. It’s highly important for us as owners to feel that whoever takes care of our pets really feels them on a deeper level, and that was definitely the case with Aimee. I am really grateful.”
12. Claire d.
About: Since i was a baby we’ve had animals at home. I’ve worked with multiple horses since I was 12 and always took care of my dogs and cats. At the moment im writing my thesis for my study, so other than that I have a lot of free time to take care of animals. So because of this im very open to any time of the day. Safety for the animal is my biggest priority and with that comes trust, i take care of the animal how the pet owner sees to it.
13. Eduard D.
“We could not recommend Eduard highly enough. Our two dogs and cat are fans of kennels/catteries so we looked for a housesitter. Eduard demonstrates perfect communication before and during the dates - sending us updates and photos whilst we're away. Our home is cleaner than when we leave, he shows a great respect for our home. As much as I can write a great review - it's the dogs feedback which says it all - they want to get in his car and go with him when we return!”
14. Giorgos K.
“"I can’t recommend Giorgos enough as an animal sitter! He took incredible care of my dogs and cats while I was away. They were happy and relaxed when I returned, which shows how well he connected with them. Giorgos is not only responsible and reliable, but he also genuinely loves animals. His updates and photos gave me peace of mind throughout my trip. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy to care for your pets, Giorgos is the perfect choice!"”

About: I love dogs and I have experience working with other animals, such as racehorses. I enjoy building a relationship with animals, especially dogs, and I am sure it will be clear to see that any dogs who stay with me will enjoy their time with me. They will get plenty of attention in a nice, peaceful, relaxed home. Lots of walks. I don't have a garden, just a back yard. However, there are great walking opportunities right outside my house. I work from home daily. I have a lot of flexibility within my job which would make it easy to care for a dog at the same time. One on one just me and your dog, no loud noises or other animals. Would suit a slightly anxious dog that needs a quiet, relaxing environment. I am looking for dogs that are not too high energy, and that will be fine being rinsed off in the shower if too muddy. Also just looking to take one dog at a time.
16. Luke H.
“Luke is an amazing dog he could walk for miles with them. He loves being outdoors with animals. He’s got a heart of gold when it comes to dogs. He has two dogs of his own so can look after any size of animal.”
17. Jennifer R.
“Jennifer is a responsible young adult and will care your dog as if it were her own. Your pet will be left in good hands.”
18. Kamile A.
About: I have experience with pet care as I come from a family of pet breeders, so I know how to take care of small pets as well as bigger pets too! I currently work part time on Sundays between 11am to 4pm, so I have the whole of weekdays, Saturdays and after work on Sundays free. I will contact you to make a list of requirements, requests and safety procedures you have for your pet to keep them as safe as possible.

20. Jasmine L.
About: There’s never been a time in my life where i have not lived without pets. I grew up in a household that was pet crazy with many different pets from hamsters to horses. I have been brought up around very big dog breeds, and also small dog breeds. I moved out from my parents when i was 18 and went on to get my own two large breed dogs and four cats. The house i currently live in is very big and used to be two flats, so conveniently the house can be sectioned off into two still, meaning if your pet doesn’t want to be around mine, that is easily done. I am self employed and work when i like to, so i can fit around and requests that you need for me to take care of your pets:) I can offer many different types of services for your fur babies, whether this be taking them out for multiple walks, having a good play of tug of war with them, letting them play with my pets (completely up to you) or even bathing/ washing them. If your pet has and dietary needs or medication they need, i’m very responsible to take care of that.
