“Jeanett provided an exceptional dog-sitting experience for us, especially considering it was our first time leaving our furry friend. Her regular photo updates alleviated all our stress. Leo not only seemed happy but also genuinely comfortable in her care.”
“Hands down the best dog sitters/ boarders I have ever booked for my dog Marple- and I have booked with many! Marple is an extremely high energy parson Russell and I was so impressed with how amazing and attentive Brian was in sending me lots of updates and photos and I was not anxious at all. I will definitely book him again. Marple was so well cared for and happy when she was dropped back and Brian had also spotted a potential injury that I had overlooked. I am so grateful and I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
“Absolutely fantastic dog boarding service! I highly recommend this sitter. They did everything I asked for and more during my time away and will definitely bring my Norbie back there when needed”
“It was the first time I left my puppy overnight with someone outside my family, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Andrea was amazing with him, so patient and caring, even though he’s a very energetic Border Collie pup. He clearly felt comfortable and happy with her, and I could tell he really liked her. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave him, and I’ve already left him with her again because she made me feel very at ease.”
“Heather was an amazing support. I know Ivy was in safe hands and she came back tired which means she was busy, had lots of fun and made a fuss of. Heather was easy to communicate with which makes the whole progress so easy. Thank you!”
“George and Dot are the most amazing sitters, so friendly and communicative and are obviously very experienced with dogs! Boko had a brilliant time and can’t wait to go back 😀”
“Thank you so much for everything you do Fernando! Meeting you and your dogs was very professional, I loved our communication throughout Syd stays, your house is great and we will love to ask for your services for our next time! The review from Syd is 10/10!!”
“Would recommend Owen and Renata to everyone. They look after your dog withnsuch love and attention we see how happy he is when he goes to stay with them. He loves to play with Pepsi and he gets so much affection from owne and Renata we know he is happy and safe. Always 5 star care from them both.”
“I would absolutely book Olivia again. She met up with me the day before to get to know Tobi and his needs. Tobi also got acquainted with her dog too. Whilst Tobi stayed with Olivia, she sent me regular updates with photos and videos. She also stuck to his schedule and needs. Tobi seemed very comfortable when I went to pick him up too! Thanks so much Olivia for taking care of Tobi for me - at short notice too! :)”
About: I’m an Australian living in London who has loved dogs for as long as I could breathe. I owned a dog (Jack Russell x Staffy!) from the age of 5 to 20, so training and caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. Since moving to London, I haven’t been able to have a pet of my own, which is why I’m excited to spend time caring for other people’s pets! I’ve previously dog sat for friends and neighbours, both at my own place and in their homes. Morning runs are part of my daily routine so I can guarantee plenty of outdoor time for your pup! But no matter if it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles on the sofa, I will always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I am a freelancer and work from home which means I have a very flexible schedule. This means that I can provide lots of attention throughout the day and adapt to your dog’s needs. I live in a two-bedroom new build apartment with a balcony. We are a smoke-free household and do not have any pets. The building is very dog-friendly, has a fenced roof terrace, and also a fenced courtyard - both with plenty of grass to play around in. I also live 4 mins from a park. No matter where I am, I’ll always have your pet’s safety at the forefront of my mind at all times. I always treat everybody’s home with respect, so if housesitting, I will no doubt keep your home clean and tidy. I’m always happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for.
“Lizzy was amazing, accommodating and so warm and welcoming. Balou had a wonderful stay and my mind was at ease with daily updates and photos. I will be using Lizzy again. Thank you so much Lizzy.”
About: Took care of family lab for 3 years, walking him 3 times a day in the local park. Occasionally house sit family and friends who have cats and dogs. I’m a PhD student living with my partner in our late 20s, currently working from home. Available during weekdays and weekends. We are able to take them on walks at least 2 times a day, and feed them according to their needs. Have access to a park 30 seconds away and 2 minutes away from the riverside. Currently do not have pets of our own but love taking care of our family dogs and cats.
“Clara and Jisoo were an amazing host for my 13 year old beagle. They were flexible with pick up and drop off which I was very grateful for. I could tell from the regular photo updates was feeling extremely pampered and spoilt - plenty of cuddles and walks. Thanks again Clara and Jisoo! Bella looks forward to another stay with you both, hopefully in the newr future :)”
“Daniel and Brian took wonderful care of my fur baby. They carefully followed instructions and sent regular updates. My boy had fun hanging out with them and their pooch; and came home happy and relaxed. my boy had a little holiday, whilst i was on mine. It was reassuring to know he was in good hands and would rebook in the future.”
“Dongmei and Thomas took care of Ovie for three nights, and I genuinely could not have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, they were incredibly willing and keen to understand everything about Ovie to ensure he was cared for exactly as he needed. During our meet and greet, they asked thoughtful, detailed questions and really took the time to get to know him. They also showed me the beautiful park next to their apartment and their lovely, spacious home, including a large deck which Ovi clearly enjoyed. Throughout his stay, they kept me completely at ease by sending multiple photos and updates each day. Ovie typically takes a little time to feel comfortable with new people, but it was clear from both the pictures and his behaviour when I picked him up that he was very happy and relaxed around them. They were incredibly accommodating, managed his high energy levels very well, and truly treated him as if he were their own. They even bought treats for him and played games to keep him engaged and stimulated. I would not hesitate for a second to book with Dongmei and Thomas again. Highly recommended.”

“We've booked Michela multiple times to look after our foster cats and she's been amazing every time! No matter what happens she's so helpful and keeps us up to date on everything going on! ”
“Kasia is such a wonderful cat sitter and she took really good care of our two cats. She was excellent at communicating with us and sent us lots of pictures. Highly recommend Kasia!”
“Xin Yi is amazing! She looked after Lucifer so well, not just fed and cleaned but really spent time with him. I loved regular photo updates, some of the shots are priceless ;) i could really see my cat feeling comfortable and entertained. I felt like I can really relax on my holiday, thank you <3 I have already re-booked.”
“Lisa was prompt in responding on short notice. Orla is a shy cat but Lisa had no problems befriending her, being to play with her in addition to feeding her. Lisa was available to provide updates and had no issues with any last minute requests/instructions. I felt safe leaving Orla and the flat in her hands.”
“Jing has been super helpful, super accomodating and took an excellent care of my cat. She followed the instructions and took extra steps to clean up the accidental mess made by the cat. Definitely recommend!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter for Luna. From the start, her communication was fantastic — clear, reassuring, and full of genuine care. It was obvious she truly loves cats and understands that each one has their own personality. She really understood Luna’s nature, engaging her in play in a way that made her feel comfortable and happy. I loved receiving the updates and could tell Luna was relaxed and well looked after. She also went above and beyond with the practical details — keeping Luna’s dishes clean, changing her water filter, and making sure everything was spotless and fresh. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing Luna was in such kind and capable hands. I’ll absolutely be booking her again and would recommend her without hesitation.”
“Jane is a great sitter i strongly recommend her she loves animals and she takes extra care with my cat and gives the necessary attention and makes sure i am well informed with photos and videos. She is brilliant! She is my go to pet sitter! Thank you Jane! ***********”
“Kirsty is simply amazing and our kitties love her - so win win here! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who want to have stress free holidays while their cats stay behind 😁”
About: I found my first cat on the streets and it was suffering from cat flu. He got better after I started giving him medications and then we took him for neutering. I knew nothing about cats but everyone went to well. He’s now 10 and he has dominated a whole house!
“Zoya is great with cats . I always book her to look after my cat Benny and I know he will be looked after well. Zoya also very flexible to any request . I cannot recommend her more .”
About: I am an animal-loving, responsible person with a special affection for cats. I have always loved their calm yet playful personalities, and it is very important to me that they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. In my everyday life, I work as cleaner, but spending time with cats is something I truly enjoy and find very rewarding. I have had my own cat in the past, so I understand their needs, habits, and how important routine and a familiar environment are for them. I am patient, attentive, and always adapt to each cat’s personality — whether they are playful, cuddly, or more shy and independent.
“Anna has looked after our cat many times while we've been away and has never given anything less than a truly excellent service. She always visits our cat at least once a day and sends us photos and videos of him being petted by her. I think a very strong bond has developed between Anna and Scaramanga. Highly recommended!!!”
“She was incredibly welcoming and kind, and I could tell right away that she genuinely loves cats. My cat felt comfortable and relaxed with her very quickly, which meant so much to me. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my cat was in such caring hands. I’m very grateful for the care and attention she gave, and I would happily trust her again in the future.”
About: As a cat dad to 3 indoor cats of my own (each adopted from abandoned with cat flu, and 2 with 1 eye each, 1 with IBS) who travels for holidays twice a year, I understand just how important it is to find a sitter who you can place your confidence in. I work from home fulltime, running my own cybersecurity firm so spend ample time with my own triad who I have had now since 2018. Prior to owning my own cats I grew up in a household with 5 cats minimum at a time and would always volunteer to feed them, fuss them and ensure they were well taken care of. Unabashedly and unashamedly a big proud cat person! I want to offer my services to those in need having had to request cat sitters during periods I travel for work or pleasure and always wanting the peace of mind that each and every one was happy, loved, well fed and cared for.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Barking
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I’ve loved dogs all my life, spending plenty of time around the pups of friends and family. Two years ago, I met my true dogmate, Matlock, a French Bulldog who completely changed my world. Since then, we’ve been side by side almost every moment of the day (working from home means she’s basically my boss!). Together with her Labrador buddy, they’ve trained me far better than I could ever train them. Thanks to them, I’ve learned to understand a dog’s needs, moods, and quirks. I’ll bring that same unconditional love and care to your furry friend. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on your dog throughout the day. I already have a neutered French Bulldog, so I’m very used to balancing daily walks, playtime, and rest. Caring for pets is a natural part of my everyday routine, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and included. I live in a pet-friendly apartment, furnished with safety in mind thanks to my own dog. It’s a cozy, welcoming space where pets feel right at home. Just a short 3-minute walk away, there’s a beautiful park perfect for walks, play, and fresh air. Your dog will be cared for in a safe and loving environment, as if they were part of my own family.
“Faith was excellent while sitting my boy Chaos for two days and one overnight stay. Chaos clearly adores her. She took him on a lovely adventure to Epping Forest and asked all the right questions during our introductory meeting. She also sends daily updates, which is very reassuring. I look forward to booking her again in the new year 💗”
“I am very happy with the service provided by Giulia. She took care of her, the puppy was calm, she sent me pictures. She kept me informed during the day. Thank you very much for all the help. You are amazing Giulia.”
About: Hi! We are Marcela and Nick. We are a dog loving married couple, who can't wait till we have a fluffy one of our own one day. Until then, we fill this void by taking care of other fury friends as if they are our own. Working from home enables us the flexibility to attends your dogs needs, such as going for long walks, plenty of cuddles and toilet breaks. I am an early bird and therefore have no problem starting my day with a quick walk.

Both of our roles are flexible, allowing us to attend any needs at our chosen time and give your fur ball's undivided attention. Every dog has different needs and routines, so I ensure that this is not highly interrupted whilst staying with us. I try to make their stay as comfy as possible and guarantee they are well looked after by creating a safe space.

“Friendly and communicative throughout. Layla was comfortable with him and everything went smoothly overall. As Layla can sometimes be a little stubborn when meeting new walkers, a bit more confidence and experience handling hesitant dogs would be beneficial, but he was patient and keen to make sure she was comfortable. Thank you for looking after her.”
“Shuk has been amazing with Leia. She sends very detailed updates and lots of pictures, so I always knew exactly how Leia was doing on her walks. She pays attention to the small behaviours, is very careful with other dogs, and keeps me reassured at all times. We were away on holiday and it gave us real peace of mind to know Leia was in such good hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again.”

About: Hey there! I'm Faith, a long-time pet and housesitter. I would love to get a dog, but it's not the right time for me, but I have all the time in the world for your loved ones. You may have noticed that my Rover profile is relatively new, I have been slowly gathering reviews on TrustedHousesitters, including: Emmanuella's review "Delighted to recommend Faith, who has always taken excellent care of my cat, Mubi, while I'm away. Faith is attentive, caring, and reliable and Mubi, who usually doesn't warm up to most people, is always happy and well cared for with Faith" and Laurens review "Faith was amazing with Dug, always ensuring he got plenty of playtime and socialising while I was at work. She’d pick him up, take him to parks, and he’d come back so happy and relaxed—her genuine love for dogs and reliability make her such a fantastic person for anyone looking for a pet sitter x". I've been dog walking, visiting pets at home and housesitting for years now. It all started with family, friends and colleagues and has since grew to travelling up and down the country for regulars who request for me to look after their pets for weeks at a time while they travel. My experience is varied - I've worked with livestock on farms, taken care of little pomeranians and larger mastiffs and I've also looked after small pets including parrots, rabbits, turtles and geckos. I have looked after several neighbours cats and done many overnight and daytime house visits with some wonderful cats and dogs. I used to be big on travel, and petsitting has allowed me to visit some incredible places. But I travel less these days and now would like to welcome pets into my home too. I'm communicative and will happily provide as many or as few updates, pictures/videos as you'd like. You won't have to second-guess whether your pet is okay or not. I promise your dog, cat or small animal will get alllll the love - I'm 100% an animal lover and do this because I find it therapeutic to take care of, walk and play with pets, the money is honestly just a bonus.

I live in an apartment but have access to a fenced green area across the road as well as regularly taking myself on walks throughout the day - I'm able to pop out any time if your dog needs to go toilet etc.

My home is my dogs home so anything is for offer- toys, treats, furniture, a bath if they need it. I have a flat but lots of green areas around me which I take my own toy poodle out to many times a day.
About: I've always loved being around pets, and I spent my teen years with my lovely do, Mya.

With a calm and patient nature, I’m great at building trust—even with shy or anxious animals. I’m also dependable when it comes to routines like feeding, walking, or administering medication, and I always keep pet owners updated so they can feel confident and at ease while their pets are in my care. I am free to take care of your pets any day or time, im currently unemployed and have a lot of free time on my hands. I make them feel at home if they are at my house they can do as they please within reason and same goes for there own home.
About: I love seeing cats happy which is a very rewarding experience. Great patience with getting them to familiarise with strangers like myself in the beginning. I'm working full-time on a hybrid basis (Mon-Fri) - twice a week at the office which is quite close with public transport. So flexible and willing to adjust times :). For the time being, I'm not hosting cats. Based on my experience from my own cat, lots of playing, brushing, cleaning litter and their food bowls regularly, keeping them close when working or cooking. However, as we know, they need their freedom to roam in the house and a pulled curtain to watch birds!
“Ainhoa walked out dog Zoe on an evening when we went to a show in central London. She was communicative and sent several updates while feeding and walking Zoe. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pet”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life. Growing up, our family always had pets, and I was actively involved in their daily care, feeding, walking, grooming, and playtime. Now, I live in London with my beautiful 7-year-old cat Molly, who is the sweetest and most affectionate girl. I’m very familiar with all things cat-related (litter routines, feeding schedules, enrichment, and giving medication if needed). I also still have my dog back home in my country, so I’m comfortable with both species and understand their different needs and personalities. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet I look after as if they were my own. Whether you have a playful kitten, a senior cat, an energetic dog, or a couch potato, I’m happy to provide attentive, reliable, and affectionate care while you’re away. Pet care fits very easily into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home most days in London, so I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight stays with plenty of flexibility. I currently live with my cat Molly and structure my days around her needs (morning and evening feeding, playtime, litter maintenance, etc.). This means I’m already in a pet-focused routine and can easily add care for your pets without disruption. I’m generally available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I can accommodate both regular and last-minute bookings. I’m reliable, organised, and happy to work around your schedule. I take the safety, trust, and comfort of every pet very seriously. While I’m caring for your pet in your home your pet will receive the same attentive, loving care that I give my own cat Molly. In your home: I follow all your instructions carefully, feeding schedules, medication, walking routines, house rules, and any special needs. I send daily updates with photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe. I’m very mindful about security (locking doors, windows, etc.) and keeping your home exactly as I found it. I’m fully background-checked through Rover and happy to provide references. Trust is very important to me, your pet’s wellbeing comes first.
“Our dog Sunny needs extra, special care - he's senior with eyesight & hearing issues. We know Sunny is in caring hands with Josh and can tell Sunny loves his walks! Josh is incredibly reliable and attentive to our little Sunny, we're so grateful for him.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover offering personalised care for small and medium-sized dogs in a calm, homey environment. Whether you’re working long hours, heading out of town for the weekend, or planning a holiday getaway, I’m here to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with both cats and dogs for over 10 years. I have a 6 year old poochon and he is friendly and loves to have friends over :) I specialize in day sitting, overnight in-home stays, and holiday care—giving your dog a stress-free experience in a familiar and relaxed setting. I tailor every stay to match your dog’s personality and routine, whether they love snuggles, playtime, or just quiet companionship. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my day around the pets in my care, ensuring they get timely meals, walks, play, and rest. Whether it’s a day sit or overnight stay, I give them my full attention and adjust my schedule to match their needs. In my home, pets have a calm, secure, and clean environment with plenty of cozy spaces to relax, including a spacious back garden. I supervise all activities and keep toxic items, food, and hazards out of reach. I will try my best to stick closely to the dog’s usual routine to reduce stress.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 15, as I helped neighbors and family friends look after them while they went on holidays. I grow up with cats and dogs I love teach new tricks, long walks I currently work 3 hours a day, but I have enough time during the day to play with them, go for walks, and I am available for boarding every day, including weekends. I have a fenced garden and an adorable dog who is very friendly and playful, but if it bothers you, I can separate them so they're not in the same space, since my house is big and has several rooms.
About: With 5 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, including puppies and seniors, I provide loving, attentive, and safe care. I specialize in creating a stress-free environment, helping pets feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love, as I genuinely care for and adore animals. I care for pets by providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow the owner’s instructions, supervise them closely, and offer love, attention, and reassurance.

“Hands down the best dog sitters/ boarders I have ever booked for my dog Marple- and I have booked with many! Marple is an extremely high energy parson Russell and I was so impressed with how amazing and attentive Brian was in sending me lots of updates and photos and I was not anxious at all. I will definitely book him again. Marple was so well cared for and happy when she was dropped back and Brian had also spotted a potential injury that I had overlooked. I am so grateful and I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
“Thank you so much for everything you do Fernando! Meeting you and your dogs was very professional, I loved our communication throughout Syd stays, your house is great and we will love to ask for your services for our next time! The review from Syd is 10/10!!”
“I would absolutely book Olivia again. She met up with me the day before to get to know Tobi and his needs. Tobi also got acquainted with her dog too. Whilst Tobi stayed with Olivia, she sent me regular updates with photos and videos. She also stuck to his schedule and needs. Tobi seemed very comfortable when I went to pick him up too! Thanks so much Olivia for taking care of Tobi for me - at short notice too! :)”
About: I’m an Australian living in London who has loved dogs for as long as I could breathe. I owned a dog (Jack Russell x Staffy!) from the age of 5 to 20, so training and caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. Since moving to London, I haven’t been able to have a pet of my own, which is why I’m excited to spend time caring for other people’s pets! I’ve previously dog sat for friends and neighbours, both at my own place and in their homes. Morning runs are part of my daily routine so I can guarantee plenty of outdoor time for your pup! But no matter if it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles on the sofa, I will always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I am a freelancer and work from home which means I have a very flexible schedule. This means that I can provide lots of attention throughout the day and adapt to your dog’s needs. I live in a two-bedroom new build apartment with a balcony. We are a smoke-free household and do not have any pets. The building is very dog-friendly, has a fenced roof terrace, and also a fenced courtyard - both with plenty of grass to play around in. I also live 4 mins from a park. No matter where I am, I’ll always have your pet’s safety at the forefront of my mind at all times. I always treat everybody’s home with respect, so if housesitting, I will no doubt keep your home clean and tidy. I’m always happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for.
“Lizzy was amazing, accommodating and so warm and welcoming. Balou had a wonderful stay and my mind was at ease with daily updates and photos. I will be using Lizzy again. Thank you so much Lizzy.”
“Clara and Jisoo were an amazing host for my 13 year old beagle. They were flexible with pick up and drop off which I was very grateful for. I could tell from the regular photo updates was feeling extremely pampered and spoilt - plenty of cuddles and walks. Thanks again Clara and Jisoo! Bella looks forward to another stay with you both, hopefully in the newr future :)”
“Gabriella has looked after Milo twice and has done a fantastic job! Milo looks forward to going to her house and is wagging his tail non stop when he realises we’re going to her house. He’s settled in very quickly and got along with the other dogs she had at the time. Would definitely be using her services again”
“Alice is absolutely amazing, she took wonderful care of Rigatoni who stayed there for over a week, treated her like her own and provided us with continuous updates and photos/videos the whole time so we were assured she was having the best time. Would 100% recommend Alice to anyone wanting the best care for their dog. Thanks Alice!”
“Weronika was a great help when we needed a last-minute sitter. She responded quickly, asked all the right questions, and was friendly throughout. We really appreciated the regular photo updates and how proactive she was in making sure our dog was well looked after. I would definitely recommend and happily book again.”
“Maria was brilliant throughout the period she looked after Ozzy. She was so communicative and genuinely made him part of her family. All the family looked after him. He had a great time”
“Billie had a great stay with Darren overnight. He sent reassuring updates and gave us confidence that she was in good hands. We’d love Darren to take care of Billie again :) thank you!”
“It was my first time using an individual dog sitter instead of a doggy care so I was initially a bit worried. Louisa and her boyfriend were really awesome and treated her well, pictures were sent frequently. Our dog coincidently was on her period during her stay but they seemed really relaxed about. I would contact them again as I know they would be reliable and I would be comfortable Chewie spending time with them again :))”
“Joshua looked after our dog Mew yesterday and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. He kept us updated throughout the evening with plenty of pictures and videos, which was really reassuring and lovely to see. Mew looked so happy and clearly had a great time. His dog Ovie is such a sweetie - so calm, friendly, and well behaved. He was a great companion for Mew to play with and learn from. I would highly recommend Joshua to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter, and we will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“Rahul and Aish have been the absolute best!! Cosmo has not been to a new sitter in a while and he has been very anxious to leave me. We have been doing several weeks of introductory sessions for us to easy cosmo into being left. He is slowly getting better whenever I leave him. I have tried using several different people on this app and they all failed to recognise and come up with a plan to ease Cosmos anxiety. I even had cosmo neutered and they assisted me with the entire process, even making themselves available in the day to talk to me and calm my own anxieties. Rahul and Aish are highly skilled at what they do, I get video and pictures for every visit. If you want peace of mind and skilled carers don’t hesitate to contact them!!”
“Ann and Tony took such good care of Ash when we were away. They provided regular updates on what Ash was up to, as well as any changes in his routine and eating habits etc. (Ash has a tendency to have a low appetite when there is a change in his environment, especially when we go away), and it was such a relief to see him going back to his usual routine in just a few days. Ash seems very happy and content after we picked him up from Ann and Tony’s; fully recommend them (but only when Ash is not with them 🤪).”
“Kiran did an amazing job of looking after Frank! He took him on loads of walks and came back absolutely exhausted which is always very much appreciated! Would definitely recommend Kiran to anyone.”
“Absolute angels. Had a family bereavement and MIA took Megan at very short notice. She was so good with communication, changes and sending us pics. Megan was happy and healthy when I collected her x”
“Irina and her family took care of our Jack Russel puppy, Mooshdy over the weekend. Irina was amazing, kept us up to date with pictures and videos. Moosh had a great stay!”
