“Mango was with Taffany (Siu Yung) for 2 days and she took excellent care of him. She took him for walks through out the day and kept us informed with regular updates with pictures and mesages. She took him out during the rain as well and blow dried him. One could only imagine if someone can be so loving and caring. Taffany and her family kept Mango super happy during his stay. Mango came back super happy after the stay. I would definitely recommend Taffany to anyone and everyone and looking forward for another stay in the future. Thank you so much for taking such a good care of Mango. Much appreciated 🙏”
“Gaby was perfect for our little pup Cherry. Our pre-met reassured me she would be in good hands. We had regular pup dates :) she had plenty of walks and play to keep her busy (and worn out)!. We will be using Gaby again when needed and would highly recommend. Thank you.”
About: I’ve grown up around a variety of pets, including dogs and other animals, so I’m comfortable caring for different personalities and routines. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or giving them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I always follow owners’ instructions closely and treat every pet as if they were my own. I freelance and work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. This means I can fit pet care around my work, whether that’s morning, afternoon, or evening visits, walks, or overnight stays. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work with your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure, fully fenced garden where pets can enjoy outdoor time safely under my supervision. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walks, medication if needed, and any house rules. I’ll provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while making sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for in a calm environment.
“Honestly Rachael is super professional when it comes to looking after my dog. I can’t praise her enough, I don’t even need to think about how he might be as I know she loves my dog as much as I do. Highly recommend”
“Leonor is a fantastic cat sitter! Super attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring. It was such a relief knowing my cat was in good hands. I will definitely book again 🙌”
“Maria and her husband did an amazing job looking after Molly. Molly was made to feel at home and got multiple walks. Updates very plentiful throughout the day and I would highly recommend Maria for pet sitting!”
“Our Shih tzu Willow settled in very nicely with sisters Nicola and Kerry and their mum. I was sent messages and photos throughout the whole weekend which was so reassuring. They really looked after Willow, took her for long walks over the park and gave her plenty of cuddles. They also have a very large garden for Willow to run around in. I would definitely recommend this family to pet-sit your dog 🐶”
About: I’m an experienced dog owner who truly understands the routines and care dogs need. What makes my service unique is the combination of exceptional outdoor space (Wanstead Flats is right on my doorstep for long walks and play), flexible working arrangements (if desired, I can take your dog to my office for company throughout the day), and a well-socialised, friendly dog who loves meeting new friends. Your dog won’t just be looked after - they’ll be genuinely engaged and enriched. Whether it’s exploring the extensive open spaces of the Flats, enjoying a calm day at the office, or having a canine companion for socialisation, I can provide a proper home-from-home experience. I’m happy to maintain any specific routines, dietary requirements, or training approaches you’ve established. I treat every dog in my care as I treat my own: with patience, attention, and plenty of affection. I work full time but have flexible arrangements. I typically work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and I’m able to take dogs to the office with me on other days if they’d enjoy the different environment and socialisation. This means your dog will have company and attention throughout the day, every day, rather than being left alone. I’m available for boarding on weekends and evenings. Your dog will be treated as part of my household. I have one friendly, well-socialised dog who’s excellent with other dogs and provides gentle companionship. My home is secure and I’m experienced in managing different dogs’ needs, whether that’s separate feeding times, crate training, or giving space to dogs who prefer their own company. I’ll always follow your instructions on walking routines, including whether your dog should be on or off lead.
“Anke and her family were excellent with Greyson!! They gave frequent updates+videos and we can tell that Greyson enjoyed his stay and was well looked after! Definitely recommend!😃😃😃”
“Serena took charge of my chihuahua at very short notice, I am so grateful for her looking after Lola. I had photos and videos updating me and so pleased she settled in well. Sam and Serena are such a lovely couple and will be definitely booking again with them. Lola came home so happy. Thank you both 😊”
“100/10 I fully and completely recommend Rima! I almost don’t have words for how incredible Rima was. We had a long term request that was fairly last minute but she was able to do a meet & greet and trial night and we felt super comfortable with them right away. I have two dogs that both have higher needs (separation anxiety and pain management) and she handled their medication perfectly, and her husband was able to help ensure the dogs were never left alone. We got a daily photo update with pictures and videos of our very happy, comfortable and loved dogs, and a weekly text update all about how they were doing. They got multiple walks and park outings every day. It really was perfect! Thank you Rima.”
“Elisa was fantastic. We trusted her with our beloved Twix whilst we were away on holiday. She sent regular updates and pictures. We could tell from the pictures Twix was having a great time and being looked after. Daily walks and plenty of activity with Elsie’s own dog. We’re really pleased we went with Elisa and the service she’s provided. Would recommend and use again.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving Hetty with Diana. She also has a lovely dog so was great company for Hetty. Diana and her husband made sure that Hetty felt safe and comfortable the whole time and I had daily updates, photos and videos. Would definitely leave Hetty with Diana again.”

“Excellent service from Leanne and Kane. Both were very warm and I felt reassured they would take good care of our cats. They were interested in their different personalities and and what each cat liked. Really good communication whilst we were away with daily updates with lots of photos. Would strongly recommend and would use them again”
“I have never left my fur babies before with anyone apart from family. To put into context I have a four cats all with their own personalities and needs. I could not recommend Tori enough. She clearly loves animals and cares for them like her own. My cats are normally quite anxious with new faces but they have completely taken to Tori and I can tell how at ease they were with her being around especially given their parents were away. It’s has been so reassuring to know they have been in such safe hands this whole time. Thank you Tori!!!”
“Was first time leaving Pascal, April has kept us updated with photos as well. Pascal has been well looked after would definitely use April again many thanks for looking after our kitty x x”
“Excellent service - sent regular photos to reassure our cat we given A* service and well cared for. We had a separate issue with our house and she went out her way to help. Felt very safe with Louise, she knows how to work around our very shy cat and we will definitely lose her again.”
About: I've been around cats for as long as I can remember and have experience taking care of three cats of my neighbours since I was 16, I'm now 20 and have two fur babies who I have the privilege of taking care of myself and calling my own (one boy who's a menace and one girl who's the sweetest muffin ever). I take pride in making sure my cats are well looked after by: Brushing their teeth, cleaning their litter boxes daily, staying on top of their health via taking them to the vets, administering oral and topical medications (such as flea/tapeworm medication), keeping their pretty faces clean using pet safe wipes, grooming them by brushing often, applying moisturising ointment to their toe beans and paw pads to make sure they are healthy and doing my best to feed them the best food available with the highest meat content whilst also giving them supplements like salmon oil and PlaqueOff powder to help keep their coats shiny and their gums healthy. I am going into my third year of my Masters in Pharmacy at King's but taking care of cat's is my passion and my dream is to be able to establish a cat shelter in the future as I believe all cats deserve a home. My background in healthcare (and my love for my little babies) is what makes me want to do my best to make them happy and healthy). The effort I put in for my cats is no different to the effort I'll put in for your's as I truly believe all animals are deserving of love and care, even if they don't seem to want it sometimes as my boy cat Nimki never fails to remind me. I'm a quick learner and am enthusiastic about doing my utmost for cats, I've spent a lot of time learning about cat behaviour and health and will take care of your cat with the same love and care that I have for mine.
About: Growing up around animals and caring for my own 2-year-old tabby, Yuna, I know pets are part of your family and will treat yours like my own! I provide a safe, calm, and highly attentive environment for your pet to be well-fed, playful and comforted. So you don’t miss them too much, I’ll keep you posted daily with photos and reassurance ☺️.
About: I am currently a Uni student that loves animals, while I would love to have some, unfortunately I can't, as I am currently living in accommodation, to get around that I decided to try and find some to take care of! :) I have had a few pets ever since I was little, from hamsters, tortoises, birds, dogs and so on. I have taken care of quite a few pets, such as cats, dogs, birds, etc, mostly of these pets were dogs as I am more familiar with dogs and they are my favourite animal. I try my best to spoil the pets, by buying them toys, their favourite snacks and so on. I can do weekends, just contact me to arrange the times as I am usually working. Rest assured that you'll leave your pets in safe hands. I am currently working part time and studying full time, therefore I might need to check my calendar before confirming any bookings, but I am always willing to walking/taking care of your pet(s). Apologies for that! I have experience with many dogs, small, medium and big. I will always make sure that the needs of your pet(s) are fulfilled as well as ensuring a safe environment for them to play/roam around.
“Thank you so much, Sara, for looking after our cat. The kids really appreciated the lovely photos and videos and Jupiter looked truly contented. We would be very happy to contact you again when we need a sitter. Thanks a million!”
“Metti did a wonderful job of looking after our 2 kitties Moomin and Goma. They seemed relaxed and happy after we are back home and she sent regular photos and updates during the whole sit too! Definitely recommend :)”
About: I'm a cat lover based in Romford, looking to make new feline friends! While growing up I was owned by two Burmese boys, and for the past six years I have catsat in Romford and Chelmsford. My experience includes kittens, longhaired cats, administering pills, nervous cats and cats with food aggression. I cover mainly Romford and Chelmsford, but am willing to venture further afield particularly for overnight sits. I have several long-term repeat clients, who would be pleased to provide a reference.

I am confident with daily care tasks and understand cat behaviour. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each cat's needs. 💛 Working from home and studying part-time for a degree in psychology, that gives me a very flexible schedule.

About: I believe in providing a calm, safe, and loving environment so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I have looked after family and friend’s pets while they have been away. I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play and care for your pets. Working in education allows me to care for your pets around peak holiday time. When looking after family and friends pets, I always make sure that their schedule is followed and that they are always well cared for and loved.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have had wonderful memories of our childhood dog Bobby. I understand some pet owner’s anxiety about leaving their dogs at kennels, whether or not they are getting proper one on one attention. I’d love to offer my time for walks or boarding at our home for planned holidays. I am a stay at home mum and now my two children are in school full time, I am free to help you walk or board furry family member at our home for special occasion out / planned holidays. We have a full fenced garden and a large grass area just outside the house. This gives super easy access for doggie toilet trips when needed!
About: Hi, I’m Tori! I’ve proudly run Auntie Toris Pet Sitting Services since 2019, providing reliable, loving care for pets of all shapes and sizes. I previously worked as a Veterinary Care Assistant, so I’m confident with feeding routines, administering medication (including tablets and injections such as insulin), and supporting pets with additional or ongoing needs. Alongside this, I have experience with a wide range of animals and temperaments – from puppies to senior pets, as well as more nervous or sensitive dogs who need a calm and patient approach. I also have cats of my own and regularly foster, including hand-rearing young kittens, so I’m very comfortable caring for more delicate animals too. I’m first aid trained, DBS checked, and fully insured, so you can feel confident your pets are in safe, experienced hands. Most importantly, I treat every animal as if they were my own, giving them the same level of care, attention, and love. Pet care is my full-time routine, not something I fit in around other commitments. I run my own pet sitting business, so my days are structured around the pets in my care – including walks, feeding, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with them to make sure they feel comfortable and settled. I’m home throughout the day for most of the week, which means pets are rarely left alone for long periods and can stick closely to their usual routines. I also keep my schedule organised to ensure each pet gets the time and attention they need, rather than overbooking. Because this is my main focus, I’m flexible and able to adapt to different needs, whether that’s early mornings, evening visits, or more frequent check-ins. I tailor my care to each individual pet to make sure they feel as comfortable and settled as possible. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They have a safe, calm environment with plenty of attention, enrichment, and time to relax. I stick closely to their usual routines for feeding, walks, and sleep, and I always take introductions slowly to ensure everyone is happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in their own home, I aim to keep everything as familiar as possible. I follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication, so they feel secure in their own environment while you’re away. I have experience with a wide range of needs, from energetic dogs to more nervous or sensitive pets, and I always adapt my approach to suit them. I’m also confident administering medication if required. Throughout every service, I prioritise safety, routine, and lots of love and attention, and I’m happy to provide updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away.
“We have been using Leanne and Kane now for a few months and I couldn't recommend them enough. Our dogs love them and they are always very professional, punctual and have followed our instructions perfectly as our dogs can be reactive around other dogs during walks. With my chihuahua who is quite nervous, they've taken the time to allow him to settle with them, and been very patient and gentle with him and now he loves them. Absolute 5 star dog walkers”
About: I have looked after family pets - dogs, cats, horses, a parrot & a rabbit for over 30 years but would love to help others as well. I love walking and am happy to take dogs for a long walk. I love cats as well, I would be happy to keep them company for a while, administer medication & feed them. I would also be happy to stay overnight if necessary. I have recently retired from my teaching job (food technology) so I'm now available day & night to care for your pets or to walk your dogs. I have a very safe bungalow, the garden is fenced securely in which I can look after your dogs and plenty of room inside if the weather is bad.
About: Animals have always been part of our everyday life. We grew up with cats and dogs and recently said goodbye to our much-loved 20-year-old cat. Since moving to the UK, we have a very real pet-shaped gap in our lives and would love to shower another furry friend with care while we settle in. We’re happy with pets of all breeds and ages. I’m home four days a week and my partner is home in the later afternoons, so there’s plenty of time for company, cuddles, and attention. Lunchtime walks are already part of our routine, and we’re lucky to live near lots of dog-friendly parks. I have a hybrid work schedule and am available for walks on my work-from-home days (morning, lunchtime, or late afternoon), as well as weekend pet sitting. I’m especially happy to support pets who enjoy consistent, every-other-day walks. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of walks, attention, and care. If overnight stays are needed, I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will always be my main focus. I’m also happy to pet sit or house sit in your home, where your pet is most comfortable.
“Anisha walked our dog Charlie while we went on holiday for 10 days and we couldn't be happier. She was punctual, professional, and great at communication—I always got a detailed update after every walk. It's a huge relief to know Anisha treats our pet like family and I'm happy to have found her. I will definitely book Anisha again. 5 stars fantastic.”
About: I’ve had cats all my life and currently we live with two feline friends who rule the roost. I have hands on experience with dealing with elderly and poorly cats of my own and also from previous volunteer work in vets and shelters. I am happy to look after other animals within the home as part of the visits (we also have a dog and chickens and have previously had reptiles, rodents, sheep and horses) as well as water plants, close/open curtains and blinds and generally make sure your place is ok in your absence.

About: I’ve been around and owned horses and dogs from a young age so for many years and currently own two extremely well-loved French Bulldogs, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I love animals more than people my partner often refers to me as ace Ventura 🤣 I have experience with dogs of different sizes and personalities I love the crazy ones! I’m strong and I am confident with walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic care and keeping routines consistent. I’m active, reliable and will always treat your dog as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, company during the day or overnight care, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and well looked after while you’re away, I can even spam you with photos if you like. I work full-time from home (apart from a Tuesday I go to the office in Brentwood) during the week and am available for walks before and after work, evenings and weekends. I also offer drop-in visits and house sitting with advance notice. I’m active, reliable and happy to work around your dog’s usual routine to keep them happy and comfortable. I know every dog is different, so I always take the time to understand their routine, personality and any specific needs. Whether I’m walking your dog, visiting them at home or house sitting, I’ll provide plenty of care, attention and regular photo updates so you know they’re safe and happy. I’ll always respect your home, follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet as if they were my own.
About: I have always had a strong passion for animals and a natural ability to care for them. From the age of 14 to 16, I regularly walked dogs around my neighbourhood, building experience with different breeds and temperaments. I grew up with Rottweilers, so I am confident handling larger, strong dogs as well as smaller pets. I currently have a cat, who I have successfully trained to sit for treats, showing my patience and understanding of animal behaviour. I have also volunteered at animal rescues, further developing my hands-on experience and compassionate approach. I provide a loving, safe, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. My cat is both dog- and cat-friendly and has previously lived with a Rottweiler who is his best friend and still sees regularly, so I am happy to host pets that are comfortable around cats. I am also more than happy to care for dogs of any temperament in their own home, ensuring they feel relaxed and secure in a familiar environment. I have a flexible and reliable schedule, as I currently work part-time while my partner is at home full-time. This means there will always be someone present to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Together, we have lots of time to play, provide companionship, and ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved at all times. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, your pet will never be left feeling lonely and will receive consistent, attentive care. I offer a safe and comfortable environment for pets, with a large, fully fenced garden where they can play and explore securely. I live on a quiet, non-busy road, making walks calm and stress-free. I can also provide a crate if needed, whether for training, rest, or to maintain your pet’s usual routine. My home is a relaxed, pet-friendly space where your pet will feel safe, settled, and well cared for.
About: We’ve recently moved to the area but don't have pets with us yet and miss their company! In our family home, we have three rescue cats (one three-legged) and two rescue rabbits. Between us we have previously owned dogs of various breeds, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish and hamsters We have a genuine love of animals and take great pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply being a calm presence, we always treat pets as part of the family. With over 15 years’ experience, we regularly pet sit for family and through TrustedHousesitters, looking after cats and dogs in their owners’ homes (see reviews in photos). We’re confident handling nervous rescues and pets with health issues, experienced in administering medication, and passionate about giving animals a safe, trusted, and loving environment. Please drop us a message if you have any questions. Pet sitting fits perfectly with my flexible remote work, allowing me to care for pets during days, long weekends, or quick visits around my schedule. I prioritise safety, trust, comfort, wellbeing, and happiness. Prefer caring for pets in their owner’s home due to space, but happy to adapt if needed.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m currently a proud dog dad to a six year old French Bulldog who is full of personality, energy, cuddles, and hilarious zoomies. He genuinely believes the world revolves around him, and honestly, he’s probably right. From being my little shadow to my built-in doorbell making sure nothing goes unnoticed, the love and joy dogs bring is something I truly value every day. Before my Frenchie, I grew up with a German Shepherd in the family, so I’m very comfortable with both small and large breeds, different temperaments, and understanding each dog’s unique needs. Over the years, I’ve also looked after friends’ pets including Eurasiers, Chihuahuas, and cats, giving me hands on experience with a wide range of personalities and care routines. What sets me apart is the level of genuine care, patience, and attention I give every pet. Whether it’s daycare, overnight pet sitting, long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, vet visits, administering medication, injections, or making sure anxious pets feel calm and safe while their owners are away, I’ve got it covered. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, because I’d want the exact same peace of mind for my own dog. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, comfortable, safe, and treated like family. I’m a freelance interior designer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time between projects to give pets the attention, care, walks, and companionship they deserve. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my days around my own dog, Ted, my energetic and lovable French Bulldog. If I’m caring for your dog, don’t worry, Ted will be with my partner, so your pup will always get my full attention and dedicated care. I’m available most days of the week for pet sitting, daycare, and walks in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I especially prefer staying at your home when pet sitting, as I truly believe dogs feel safest and happiest in their familiar environment and routine. As a dog dad myself, whenever I travel abroad, I make sure Ted stays at home and has someone stay with him rather than moving him somewhere unfamiliar. Our little angels can already feel anxious when we’re away for long periods, so I believe keeping them comfortable in their own space helps reduce stress and gives both pets and owners peace of mind. When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is to follow the owner’s routine, rules, and preferences as closely as possible so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and settled while you’re away. Every dog is different, and I completely respect how each owner chooses to raise and care for their pet. Whether your dog is crate trained, allowed to freely roam, enjoys sofa cuddles, or has certain boundaries around furniture, balconies, or garden access. I will always follow your lead and instructions carefully. I’m also very mindful of each pet’s individual needs, including dietary requirements, allergies, medications, health conditions, exercise levels, and behaviour patterns. Safety is extremely important to me, so I always make sure hazardous items, unsafe foods, or small objects are kept out of reach, and that pets are supervised appropriately both indoors and outdoors. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal routine as naturally as possible, giving them plenty of care, companionship, playtime, walks, and reassurance while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in safe and caring hands.
“Kimberly was fantastic when walking Max. She communicated really well and was very reliable. Although Max was booked in for 30 min walks Kimberly made an effort to make sure these were varied and interesting. She went above and beyond in taking him to the beach and dog fields. He was a very happy and tired dog ! Will definitely use again”
About: My sister Kerry and I have many years experience of living with dogs. We have owned a West Highland White Terrier and our most recent, a border collie. We sadly lost our border collie to a brain tumour last year and since then wanted to give other fur besties all the love & fun they deserve! 💕 We’ve spent the last year looking after friend’s & family’s dogs and with the growing interest decided to expand to others. Our home is your dog’s home and will be treated as we would our own. They have total freedom in our house with full access to a lovely, big garden. There will be no cages & no crates used unless you say otherwise. We take the time to gain your dog’s trust as we want nothing more than for your dog to feel as safe & happy with us as they do with you. You can expect plenty of play time, daily walks and a lot of love, as we treat them just like we would our own. We aren’t the only ones that deserve a holiday, your dog does too! Interested in knowing what your dog is getting up too whilst you’re away? No problem! You will receive daily updates and photos to keep your mind at ease 🐶 There will always be someone at home with your dog. Even though I, Nicola, go out to work at times, Kerry and I work together and is around during the day so will always be available in case your dog needs the toilet, to take them on their daily walks, and of course to play! 🎾. We live a 5 minute walk from the park so your dog will never miss a walk, after all, that is their favourite time of day! We try to make our home feel like your dog’s home. Your rules are what we follow. If you keep them in a crate over night please bring it with you. If they’re not allowed upstairs we’ll make sure they stay downstairs. If you allow them full access in your home they will definitely have that here too! We also have a big, fenced garden they have full access too as well. Meet & greet always welcome and advised which gives you a chance to meet us, we can meet you and you can see where your dog will be staying.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since I can remember, ever since I was a kid, I encountered lots of different pets such as frogs, newts, hamsters, tortoise ect. However we had two staffs, I cared for them with my dad, from birth till I was 12. Having two staffs alongside many other animals has helped me gain knowledge on how to care and raise animals. Aside from my own pets, being an animal lover I naturally took on the role of walking my family’s dogs. I also worked in a farm for a few years doing voluntary work, this further expanded my experience beyond dogs and pets you’d have at home. I cleaned them out, fed them, and made sure everything is how it’s supposed to be to ensure they’re comfortable. At the moment I am unemployed and out of education, because of this I will have plenty of time to cater to walking your dogs! I would make sure the dogs needs are met, I would take time to get to know each dogs needs specifically. I would ensure the dog is always in my sight and never left unattended.

“Mango was with Taffany (Siu Yung) for 2 days and she took excellent care of him. She took him for walks through out the day and kept us informed with regular updates with pictures and mesages. She took him out during the rain as well and blow dried him. One could only imagine if someone can be so loving and caring. Taffany and her family kept Mango super happy during his stay. Mango came back super happy after the stay. I would definitely recommend Taffany to anyone and everyone and looking forward for another stay in the future. Thank you so much for taking such a good care of Mango. Much appreciated 🙏”
“Gaby was perfect for our little pup Cherry. Our pre-met reassured me she would be in good hands. We had regular pup dates :) she had plenty of walks and play to keep her busy (and worn out)!. We will be using Gaby again when needed and would highly recommend. Thank you.”

“Our Shih tzu Willow settled in very nicely with sisters Nicola and Kerry and their mum. I was sent messages and photos throughout the whole weekend which was so reassuring. They really looked after Willow, took her for long walks over the park and gave her plenty of cuddles. They also have a very large garden for Willow to run around in. I would definitely recommend this family to pet-sit your dog 🐶”

We could tell from the pictures Twix was having a great time and being looked after. Daily walks and plenty of activity with Elsie’s own dog. We’re really pleased we went with Elisa and the service she’s provided. Would recommend and use again.”
“Tori was absolutely amazing with our girl Lady. Great boarding service. She was so commutative and sent us so many great pictures of Lady having fun with her lab. Couldn’t recommend her more if you’re looking for someone trustworthy to watch after your pup.”
“Mochi absolutely loves Henrietta, and he’s very picky over who he warms to. Henrietta kept me updated with photos and messages while I was away for a few days which was so lovely. It was so nice to see Mochi so happy and comfortable when I picked him up.”
“Our pup was very well looked after by Joe and Katie! She was super happy and comfortable with them and seemed very at home. I also got lots of updates about how it was going, so was very at ease. Thank you!”
“We couldn't be happier with Darwin as a dog sitter for our chocolate labrador, Mango. He truly understands the specific needs of labradors: providing Mango with plenty of exercise, attentive care, and, importantly, being firm about food rules (which we really appreciate!). Mango was clearly very happy and well looked after. Darwin also kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which meant so much to us and especially our kids, who were missing Mango terribly. Highly recommended!”
“My cockapoo Coco stayed with José for the weekend and she was very well looked after. Coco took to José straightaway and on meeting him I could tell she felt comfortable with him. I would highly recommend José and will definitely be using him again. Thank you Jose for the good care you gave to my fur baby.”
