“Prior to the day of the booking Harriet was quick to respond to messages and she was very punctual on the day. Charlie took to Harriet straight away…She was a natural with him! We have already booked other dates and would recommend to others.”


“Greg is an absolutely amazing puppy sitter! He is incredibly flexible, communicates brilliantly, and truly cares for the dogs he looks after. Our puppy feels comfortable and happy with him, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing she is in great hands. Highly recommend!”


“Hannah is fabulous every single time. I really like the photos and regular updates she sends me. Aiko is always very happy and relaxed after Hannah has been looking after him, which to me is the most important indicator that he is well looked after. Thank you Hannah”


“Alycia was so wonderful with our two vizslas, one young and one senior. She gave us updates and pictures, and took them for plenty of walks. She tried to run with Ruth (which is great!) but Ruth was a little too naughty/jumpy. Maybe next time, as Ruth’s energy is never ending! The flat was very clean, and Alycia seems very responsible and trust worthy. We will definitely work with her again!”


About: I have always been in the service based industry, after 4 years of living in Bali I am working on my healing business and house and pet sits are a perfect way to travel and meet people, animals love healing and I love taking care of them and the home This is a full time mission for me and works perfectly while I continue to set up my healing business and travel at the same time. I love animals and take extra good care of them and your home. I tend to go above and beyond as a natural nurturing Individual I am very intuitive as to what the home owners need and the animals

“Riya house & pet sat for us for a few days and the cats loved her company - we are already discussing another sit! We really appreciated her coming over to meet us all ahead of the sit, and that she left the house so clean and tidy. Thank you Riya 😊”


“Rosie was great with Kylo. They enjoyed a little walk together and plenty of cuddles in the sofa! She kept us updated throughout the sit which was great - would definitely rebook her!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child growing up in the countryside. Neighbours, friends, and family have trusted me for over 15 years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets. Animals warm up to me quickly, and I always treat them like my own. I work from home most of the week and only go into the office twice, which means your pets will have plenty of company and attention. I’m flexible with walks and drop-in visits, and I’m available on weekends as well ☺️ I only care for pets in their own home, where they feel most safe and comfortable. I make sure to follow the pet’s usual routine, walks, feeding, playtime, and any special care they need, so everything stays familiar and stress-free. I keep their environment clean and calm, and I always treat their home with full respect. Pet safety and trust come first, and I stay in touch with the owner so they always know how their pet is doing ☺️

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, my last dog Jessie i had for 15 years, now i am missing a dog in my life but due to my travelling i cannot get one of my own, however i would love to take care of yours and be in company of a dog when i can, i go on plenty of walks myself so would be great to have someone tag along. The dog is allowed on all pieces of furniture including sofa and bed. I start every morning with a walk and end every day with a walk, i have a local park or a local field that I frequently go to. The door to my garden is always open as i love fresh air so an addition of a dog would only enhance my life. I have a fenced garden and a lockable gate, the dogs would be allowed on all pieces of furniture and I would take them with me on all walks, they’d only really be alone if I had to go to the shops but besides this I’m always at home as i work from home with no other pets and kids, it’s just me alone at my flat.

“Elliot stepped in at the last minute with overnight house sitting, he was brilliant with our cat and dog and super helpful, I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a dog / cat sitter in the Guildford area 😊”


About: I have achieved different types of training from previous jobs that help me to become a better and more prepared sitter for all animals. Previously a dog groomer, pet care ambassador, zoo keeper and a pet owner myself. I have years of experience with domesticated animals such as dogs and cats but also with exotics like reptiles and avians. I have also trained in a few vets for care assistant roles and have background knowledge with the more biological components of pets. I owner two dogs of my own and have set a routine for their daily basis to make sure they have the best welfare and try to improve their lives every chance I can take with enrichment and lots of training. I also take care of my partners cats and reptiles on a weekly basis, health checking and enrichment tasks to better their health. Walking/ exercising, depending on the weather on how the exercise is delivered. Researching suitable diets, playing with them, extra activities like mental stimulation games like cat teasers, lasers, and for dogs puzzles. Health checking visually and physically daily, making sure I’m up to date with vet visits ans know of their vaccination history. Making sure the pets are groomed daily if needed, clipping claws and brushing teeth.

About: I’m Pet First Aid trained and have been around animals my whole life. I’ve raised both cats and dogs since childhood, and for the past 18 months, my wife and I have been raising our chocolate Labrador, Bella. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone who will care for your dog as if they were their own. Your dog’s safety, wellbeing and happiness are my top priorities. I’m calm, patient and empathetic with all animals, and I understand how to adapt to their moods, needs and energy levels. Whether your dog is excitable, anxious or in training, I’ll tailor my approach to suit them. I’m also happy to continue any training routines you have in place. I pay attention to the small but important things like the weather, how much rest your dog has had, and whether they’re feeling bored, energetic or unsure. I adjust how I interact with them to make sure they feel safe and supported. If any issues arise, I stay calm and make sensible decisions with your dog’s best interests at heart. Whether you’re at work or out enjoying your day, you can relax knowing your dog is in safe, caring and capable hands. I’ve recently been impacted by redundancy, so am reasonably flexible as to when I can be booked. If I’m sitting for or visiting your dog, they will have my full focus, I won’t be working or leaving them unattended. I’m not looking to do this to make money, but to keep myself and my brain active and spend as much time as possible with the best creatures on earth. If visiting in your home, I would treat it with the utmost respect. Fully able to play with your dog in the garden if you have one and if not, happy to take them on a long or short walk as needed. If I’m feeding a dog I will make sure they have had the right break before and after exercise to lower the risk of bloat. They’ll always have fresh water topped up and will be in the right temperature to be safe and comfortable.

“Theo did an amazing job looking after Pickle, who is an anxious, reactive dog. Warm, friendly and very caring, Theo and Pickle hit it off — so much so that Pickle was very sad to see Theo leave at the end of their second day together. I will certainly be working with Theo again, and strongly recommend his services. First class dog care!”


“Charlotte helped us out last minute and was brilliant! She kept us updated throughout, and we came home to a very happy Henri and an immaculate home. Would highly recommend to anyone needing a pet sitter or walker!”
