“I am so pleased that I have Ellie as my cat sitter. She is really kind to the cats, sends me cute comments and videos of them and is great at comms. My real challenge is that I don't want to leave a great review or you will all steal her!!”
“I had a fantastic experience with Chris and would 100% recommend him. His communication was excellent from start to finish, and he kept me updated with regular messages and lovely photos of my cat, Chilly, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He clearly spent quality time playing with Chilly and made sure she was happy and comfortable. He was also a real lifesaver — very flexible when arranging a meet-and-greet in person beforehand, and incredibly understanding throughout the whole process. Overall, a 10/10 experience. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative cat sitter.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats most my life and my family just loves having pets around. It will be myself taking care of your pet and I can’t wait to meet them :) I work from home and so am home all day and would usually go for the walks in the morning and sometimes the afternoon too, if your pet requires 2 walks, please let me know, I have a fenced off back yard and a lot of space in the house. I can crate your dog if needed (please provide the crate), or he/she can have full roam of the house. My dog gets on very well with other dogs, he is a neutered golden retriever.
“Our first time booking Beth and she was great. She was very willing to do a meet-and-greet beforehand and just generally seemed knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and honest! We’ll definitely be booking her again.”
“Theo is so great! He is kind, knowledgeable and thorough, giving excellent feedback and working closely with your dog’s behavioural guidelines. He’s a really lovely person who seems very dedicated to offering the best service, and wasn’t put off by my still very bouncy 10-month-old vizsla.”
“Cleo had a wonderful experience with Sara-Jane and we returned to a very happy cat. Great communication and we felt at ease with all the lovely photos we were sent while on holiday.”
“Alycia was really helpful with looking after my dog at short notice. She put my dog at ease even though it was their first time meeting and she was lovely with him which was really appreciated. I got some great pictures and update on how the visit went. Thank you!”
“As usual totally reliable and great company for my aging basset hound who needed settling in and reassurance Charlie is kind , punctual, sensitive to the dogs needs and I can recommend him totally I trust him in my home and am so glad that I have found him.”
“Fay was an excellent Mary Poppins for our two cats. We were always excited to receive our check in information updates and pictures of them eating and playing. It was great to see how they quickly trusted her and enjoyed her visits. She was also kind enough to water some of our more needy plants. Full service! Thanks Fay”
“Hannah was so helpful and efficient! She instantly established a rapport with our cats, one of whom can be a bit tricky. She administered a complicated medicine regime and kept us well informed and reassured. Thank you, Hannah.”
“I am very happy I found Anna. She is reliable and good at keeping me up to date with anything that may effect Nala's care, before the booking and during. I received daily photos and updates and came home to a happy kittie and clean home. I will definitely book Anna again for future kittie house sitting.”
About: Hi there! I'm Harry. I've recently come back from abroad and I'm looking to supplement my time in the UK with some dog walking and animal care. I will be available until the end of November and I'm based in the Onslow Village area :) First and foremost, I'm an animal lover and love taking care of all kinds of different animals. I had a strong bond growing up with my grandparent's Border Collie and since then it has always been my dream to get a dog of my own one day. I have experience cat-sitting both casually for friends and neighbours, and in a paid professional capacity. I also have extensive experience walking and looking after dogs. Through this app, I walked two dogs, Benson and Pretzel, every week for about 8 months. I've also walked dogs through Facebook groups and for friends. I've developed extensive experience dealing with all kinds of situations at the dog park! Additionally, I have looked after and kept my own small animals such as hamsters in the past. My services include but are not limited to dog-walking, dog-sitting, cat-sitting and looking after small animals. Your pet is in safe hands and will receive the love, attention and exercise it needs while you are away on holiday, working or simply taking a break. Please do check out some of the reviews from former customers! I normally stay for 30 minutes to an hour for a home visit and an hour for a dog walk. I currently have flexible hours so should be able to fit you into my schedule, don't hesitate to get in touch. Let me know if you have any questions or queries and I'll be sure to reply within 24 hours :) I currently have very flexible hours, so do ask how I can best accommodate your needs! It's no problem if you have a specific request. I aim to build a relationship of trust with every pet I look after and respect their boundaries. Some animals take a long time to warm up to people - I never force them to play or go for a walk if they need their own space. I seek to build a comfortable and relaxed environment for all pets. Trust is of paramount importance to me!
About: I have always had pets as a child and now as an adult! Animals bring so much joy to life and I love my furry friends. Our beloved Labrador passed recently and we miss having a dog in the house, but aren't ready to replace yet, so I enjoy caring for other dogs whilst their owners are away! I live moments from the River Wey so your furry friend can expect a lovely walk along the river to stoke lock through to Guildford nature reserve. I work flexible hours from my office at home, which means I have plenty of time to care for your pet and make sure they get the attention they need - plenty of play, walks and food! I have a fully fenced and secure garden where there is space for your dog to be outside. Whilst I am working your dog will sit with me in my home office and provide welcome distraction from my IT role! I will walk dogs in the morning, lunchtime and evening as needed to suit your pet.
About: I have been caring for pets personally and professionally for over 14 years. I have worked as a cat sitter, caring for cats in their own homes when their families are away, and have been fully trained as a dog walker. I am confident working with dogs of all shapes and sizes and am familiar with young, training puppies, as well as senior pets who require special medications, feeding schedules, or mobility issues. In addition to my professional experience caring for pets, I got my very own first cat, Simon, at the young age of 7. Since then, I have been 'mummy' to 2 other cats and one lovely dog, in addition to being the legal guardian of several furry nieces and nephews whom I've cared for on countless occasions. Pets give me a genuine joy unlike anything else in this world and I love spending and sharing my days with them. I am currently working on a freelance basis, which opens me up wonderfully to the world of dog walking and cat sitting. Typically, I am available anytime between the hours of 10am - 4pm, Monday to Friday. I believe in keeping a pet in their familiar surroundings whenever possible. Home is the most comfortable place for all of us and when families are away, the consistency of staying at home is important for a pet. I like to be a guest in the pets home, letting the cats take control on social time, and being quick and discreet when picking up a dog for a walk and bringing them home again.
About: After years of begging my parents, we finally got our golden retriever Arlo in 2021. I spent the first few months with him at home, working on training and obedience skills. Now that I live away from my parents, I miss having a dog at home. I am unable to have a dog of my own due to work commitments and my current tenancy so I would love the opportunity to look after a dog at the weekends. I work full time, mostly in the office but will be available on weekends (Friday night- Sunday night) and then potentially some week nights too I have a large fenced garden and a huge park nearby to the house for lots of walks if necessary. happy to accommodate all needs

Super grateful for Christopher looking after our Sue. Really thorough, great daily report cards and pics, and especially lucky to find someone who can keep up with her insulin jabs. We will absolutely be booking Christopher again if we need someone to watch our old girl!
Tais was amazing looking after our two cats. She kept us updated with daily videos and photos, nothing was too much trouble for her. The cats were a bit ill while we were away, and we were so thankful it was noticed by her. They needed some treatment and she gave them the medication with ease. The cats were so happy once we got home and we knew they were really well taken care of. Thanks Tais! 🐈🐈⬛
Theo is a true professional. Before finding him, I’d contacted more than five pet sitters on Pawshake and Rover, most either never replied, disappeared halfway through the chat, or, in the worst case, one I’d booked and paid for on Rover ( high review ) simply didn’t show up for the meet-and-greet she scheduled herself. No message, no explanation. I quickly realized many sitters treat this as a casual side job, and it really shows. Contacting Theo was my last resort before sending my cats to boarding, which I knew would cause them a lot of stress. Even though he’s based in another city, he responded promptly when I reached out less than two weeks before my trip. The meet-and-greet went smoothly, and his professionalism was clear from the start. I was still a bit skeptical since this was my first time hiring a sitter after so many unreliable experiences, but Theo quickly earned my trust. He was always responsive with messages, sent video updates, and discussed what’s happening with the cats throughout my trip. One of my cats is very sensitive to change, when I tried boarding him before, he stopped eating for a week.....but with Theo’s calm and experienced handling, he started eating normally again within two days, even finishing his bowl (which is rare!). I also asked Theo to take care of my bonsai while I was away, and he did so carefully. He kept the house clean as well, which I really appreciated coming home to after my trip. All in all, I’ll definitely book Theo again in the future. If you’re on the fence, don’t risk it with part-timers, hire a real professional like Theo.
Navania is a very lovely young lady. She looked after our shy cat Katie for 3 weeks. After the first week Katie started to trust her and came out of hiding for her food strokes and play. We would not hesitate to book her for future cat visits. She did everything expected and more.and sent lots of photos. we cannot recommend her highly enough.
