1. Hasret S.
“Hasret did an amazing job, sending regular updates and pictures of Nero eating and playing happily 😊 the flat was also in perfect condition when we got home. Thank you so much Hasret we will be booking again!! ❤️”
2. Ursula M.
“It was such a relief knowing that our Romanian rescue dogs were relaxed and happy during their 10 days with Ursula and Courtney. The dogs clearly adored them which is definitely not a given. We would absolutely use her again. They let us know how the pets were doing during the week which was really reassuring and meant that we could relax. They left our home in perfect condition and went above and beyond so that we came home to a tidy house and contented animals.”
3. Ruhi K.
“Thank you, Ruhi, for looking after Buddy (especially when he’s been feeling a little yucky post his surgery!). Your reassuring updates were great! Thank you! ✨❤️🐶”
4. Marina I.
“Marina took great care of our nervous girl Juno. They spent a weekend with lots of cuddles and many short walks - I really appreciated that Marina knew when Juno needed to go home and didn't try and make her walk - they had fun at home together instead. Marina sent reassuring photos and kept in contact throughout the weekend. She also kept our house spotless. Thank you Marina. Hope to see you again!”
5. Jessica C.
“Jess was fantastic! She stepped in a fairly short notice to watch my boy Monty and he immediately loved her. She kept me super up to date and was so good that I almost immediately re-booked 🙌🏻”
6. Simone D.
“Simone looked after Hugo for two days running. She was punctual and kept me posted during the day with photos and feeds. Hugo had lots of fun with Simone and we will definitely be calling her again. Thanks”
7. Giulia S.
“Giulia was an amazing dog sitter. She is kind, gentle and made my lovely old dog feel relaxed while I enjoyed an evening out. My dog has anxiety when I leave him and he has a lot of mobility issues but Giulia took the best care of him. I was so grateful to her. He was relaxed and happy with her, she sent me photos and messaged me so I could feel at ease. I can recommend her 100%”
8. Samantha L.
“I highly recommend Samantha. She was great with my 5 month old boxer, who can sometimes be a bit of a handful - very confident and calm, and left me in no doubt that my dog would be well looked after. She's super reliable and sent regular updates. I really hope she'll look after Dusty again soon.”
9. Olivia C.
“Olivia is very friendly, very reliable and most importantly, was so caring and attentive towards our little pup Nala. She has a comfort and a knowledge of caring for dogs that is great to see as a pup owner. Following the list of guidelines we’d written up to help her, she was an absolute star of a carer for Nala and even taught her new tricks! We’d get Olivia to look after Nala again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”

15. Mi D.

She and her girlfriend took really good care of ghost, I could tell after that he’d had an amazing time. Hannah also provided updates throughout the day and was very friendly in all her communications. Ghost can’t wait to stay there again! Highly recommend”
