“Christopher looked after our 2 cats for a few days and we would definitely recommend. He was always prompt and we felt as ease that our cats were taken care of, even though one in particular can be quite nervous. Thank you!”
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.
“Beth was amazing at making check-ins on our cat Lily, while we went away for 4 days. Great communication throughout, very responsible, reliable and easy to coordinate with. Thanks again!”
“Theo was wonderful. This was my second time booking with him and hopefully won't be the last. He is so caring and he keeps me well informed about my boy when I'm away from home which is such a comfort as I do worry. Thank you again Theo and for all that you do.”
“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”
“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!”
“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: 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.
“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.”
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
About: I will bring a personalized touch to every pet I care for. During our walks, I engage in playful interactions and fun activities with the dogs, ensuring that each outing becomes a source of joy and mental stimulation. I also pay attension to safety of our furry friends - whether handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments or monitoring their wellbeing. My love for pets comes through in every interaction, fostering a sense of trust and security between me and my four-legged friends. Pet owners can always rely on my consistent and reliable service, knowing that their beloved companions are in caring and capable hands. I am currently available during the day on weekdays and have some flexibility with other times too. I am available for walks during this time and boarding can be arranged seperately. I provide attentive and personalized care for pets both in my home and at the owner's residence. Whether it's in my cozy environment or theirs, I prioritise safety and maintain their familiar routines, including feeding and exercise schedules. With a love for animals, I ensure pets receive ample affection, playtime, and attention during their stay. Pet owners trust me not only with their beloved companions but also with their house keys, knowing I am reliable and respectful in caring for their homes. Regular communication with owners and a keen eye on the pet's well-being make for a nurturing and trustworthy pet care experience.
“We are so fortunate that we had Jess looking after Cloud. Jess came for a pre-visit at the house before we went away and it was clear straight away that she was the perfect person to look after our Cloud. We got daily updates and pictures from Jess and I can tell from these that Cloud really adored Jess. We are so pleased that she was left in safe and loving hands. Thank you. Jess!”
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a child and grew up with a dog of my own. My friends and neighbours have always had dogs too, and I’ve often been the one they rely on to walk, feed and look after their pets. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with puppies, senior dogs and those needing a bit of extra care and patience. When I worked as an au pair, the families I lived with also had pets, and I helped take care of them every day. One of them even had a cat named Poliwag — he became one of my little babies! For now, I’d love to turn my passion for animals into a second job while I wait for the right time to have a pet of my own. I work full-time from home, with offices days occasionally. Since I’m home most of the time, I can easily fit pet care into my routine for walks, visits, and cuddles throughout the day. My weekends are completely free, so I have plenty of time for boarding, longer walks, or extra playtime. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their environment. Since I mostly work from home, I can keep a close eye on them and follow their routines carefully: feeding, walks, and playtime. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, affection, and attention to their unique needs. Your furry friend will always be in caring hands. I also live with my friend Olivia who absolutely loves dogs, she has one of her own, so your pet will be watched over by two pairs of caring eyes, making sure they feel supported, supervised, and well-loved at all times.

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.
