1. Leanne D.

“Kane and Leanne are absolutely wonderful and I am so glad they were available to watch my precious velcro Cavalier Gypsy for a long weekend. From the first meet and greet you can tell your pet's going to be in such good hands from their calm and friendly energy. Gypsy took to them instantly and I was entirely comfortable leaving her in their care. We had great communication throughout, Gypsy was as happy as can be, and they took better care of my house than I do! 10/10 would recommend, and hopefully will see again in the future.”

“Shabnam was amazing! Looking after my 2 dogs, she took care of their every need / daily routine whilst I was out and, provided regular updates throughout the day including photos. Such a kind caring nature and a natural dog sitter - highly recommend, thank you!”


3. Alyssa H.

“This is the first time I have used a home sitting service. My Ruby girl has recently lost her sight so I was obviously very anxious in leaving her. Alyssa suggested a meet a greet before the actual day. When she left I knew she would be perfect. When Alyssa looked after Ruby she sent me photos and reassured me she was okay. Alyssa is punctual, very gentle and caring, you can tell she truly loves animals. I would highly recommend her and as for me I will definitely book her again, if she’ll have us.”

About: I grew up with dogs, I beleieve their first language is love. They can feel it. A life without dogs is lifeless, A life without dogs is lifelesssss A life without dogs is lifelessssssss I work in media from home,i need walks as much as my dog because I beleieve it's essential to take a break from the screen and refresh my mind. Pets get alot of love and frequently rewarded in my home for just being beautiful animals. I have lots of treats. They love to be around me, but I do give them freedom to explore the home. Nothing dangerous around the flat as it's a pretty minimalistic w comfy rugs in the living room and dog beds in my room.


5. Katie B.

“Dog Sitting (Clients Home) Booked Kate at short notice - despite an early start, Kate was very accommodating Kate asked all the right questions re medical history, food and walk routine and provided regular updates via WhatsApp which was lovely to receive and reassurance that my dogs were happy and being well looked after. Can be trusted in the home and with a key. DD, Roxy (and their family) were very happy with the service. Highly recommend and would use again. Thank you”

7. David G.

“Pleased with how David looked after my fur babies and ensured they were cared for as per the instructions given, as one of them has back issues. David always gives regular updates with pictures which is lovely. He was also very respectful of the house. I will definitely be using David again and can highly recommend him.”


8. Tony N.
About: I grew up with a Frenchie named Coco—she was truly part of the family. Since her passing, I’ve missed the joy of caring for a dog. I treat every pup like my own—with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. I’m currently on a break from work, so my schedule is very flexible. I’d genuinely rather spend my time with dogs—it’s something that brings me joy and keeps my days meaningful. Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I’m available and committed to giving your pup the attention they deserve. I always respect the owner’s home and follow every instruction carefully—routine, rules, and preferences. Most importantly, I treat every dog with the same love and care I gave to Coco, as if they were my own.

“Amazing! Very highly recommended. Ina did a great job taking care of Prince. She was in regular communication with me throughout the booking and I felt very reassured that Prince was well taken care of. Thank you Ina!”

11. Vanya G.
About: I've grown up with dogs in my household since the age of 7 and have delighted in caring for them. Confident in walking, feeding, bathing and of course fussing and showing them all the love! Since leaving home however we have been unable to get pets of our own due to rental agreements etc but I regularly dog sit for friends and family including my Mum's pomeranians (Jamie and Lily) and Dad's working cocker (Jock). We had a border collie and an alaskan malamute growing up so I'm used to dogs needing lots of exercise and stimulation. I have also fed neighbours and friends cats whilst they're away. This will be my first time in paid pet care. I'm an NHS doctor and whilst my job is caring for humans, my compassion and care translates easily to pets of all types, as does my integrity and accountability. I'm also dependable and level headed in any emergency. I'm mostly completely free during the weekdays whilst on my career break but do have some availability for some weekends. I'm in my 4th year post-graduation of working as a doctor and currently am taking a career break after returning from working in New Zealand earlier this year. In August, my GP specialty training starts back in the NHS but before then so I'm looking to fill my spare time with helping to look after your beautiful fur babies! I'm staying between Essex, Devon and Norfolk during this time so can cover multiple areas. You're welcome to look me up on the General Medical Council's register. Happy to adapt to whatever needs or style of care your pet is used to/requires. I will come to you and I have my own car.

I have a decent sized garden but I currently have a Rottweiler with me who is very friendly, if ur dog likes other dogs then I have no problem keeping him with me while you are away, my dog loves company !!


14. Terisa C.

“Terisa is amazing - you can 100% comfortable with letting her look after your dogs for however long you need. We were away for 8 days and Terisa had the best time ever with our 2 cockapoos - we actually think they had more fun with her than they do with us! She was really professional, flexible to work around us and gave us loads of regular updates and is such a kind and caring person, exactly the type of person you would want to look after your pets. We also feel the boys really loved her work environment and meeting loads of different people and being able to chill with Terisa all day. We are super grateful to have someone we can rely on and trust with our house and dogs without a second thought. Thank you Terisa!”

About: I have 3 cats, a rabbit, an American Akita and 2 tortoises.

16. Colin G.
“Colin has looked after my Winston (big ginger cat) for over 2 years. I wouldn’t trust anyone else after having Colin look after him. Winston is the kind of cat who doesn’t like men but he took to Colin from day one who patiently sat on the sofa and waited for Winston to come to him. Of course he did because curiosity for the better of him! A love story ever since as I think Winston now looks forward to me going away! Coping regularly sends me pictures and videos to reassure me Winston is doing well. He makes sure his water is topped up, litter is cleaned out, treats are given and lots of fur baby love is given. Highly recommend Clon to look after your pet!”


17. Niamh D.
About: I’ve always believed that dogs are more than just pets, they're part of the family. My compassionate approach will make sure that your dogs feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you're away. I understand that being away from your doggy can be stressful, so I'm always just a call or text away, happy to give you updates, photos, and even video calls to keep you in the loop. I am currently working from home 4 days a week so I’m happy to look after your doggy at the weekends and most weekdays. I’m happy to take the dog for a walk on my lunch breaks and let them out regularly to the garden for some fresh air. My house is a clean and dog-friendly environment, minimizing hazards and risks. I'm careful in following any diet restrictions, medical protocols, and exercise routines your dogs require.

“I am Lilys sister. She is a really passionate lover of animals. She has been working very hard over the years to bring her career with working with animals to above and beyond standards and get to a higher position. She would love to be a veterinarian and she is doing a lot of work to gain experience z”


19. Tia W.
“Tia has looked after Roy my friend hue on numerous occasions and has always provided and exceptional level of care. Roy had never been looked after anyone else other than myself and I was hesitant to use a dog walking service. However, Tia was amazing in handling Toy, taking the time to reassure him and get to know his personality. She now regular walks Roy and drop ins whenever I am not around, and always provide updates so I know he is getting the best care.”


20. Kade C.

“Kade looked after DD and Roxy in our home. Can be trusted with a key to the house, looked after our dogs’ every need whilst we were out (including walking them and feeding them to schedule) and, would highly recommend. Thank you Kade C.”
