“We felt very lucky to have had Kyal looking after our dog and home whilst we were in holiday. We kept in touch throughout the holiday (mainly to calm my anxieties as we had not done this before) about leaving our very boisterous golden retriever pup in the hands of someone we had only just met. I need not have worried at all, with his regular updates, little bits of film of the dog I was completely reassured. Kyal also used a map app to demonstrate where he had taken the dog for walks, it was clear the dog was having a big adventure too. I would highly recommend Kyal and we will most definitely be calling on him again in the future.”


About: My mum had a full time pet grooming business growing up so from 13 years old I always wanted to step in and help wherever I could even if it was to give out treats, I love both cats and dogs and have been pet sitting both aswell as reptiles for 3 years, i can give oral medications if necessary and i’m confident with care for disabled animals who may need expressing etc. i have personal experience with deaf and blind animals. id love to help you out where possible for dogs and cats of any size, breed and temperament :) I sometimes work one day a week on a Sunday in the afternoon helping my mum with her dog grooming business if necessary so I have lots of time to give to other pets and I’m super flexible with notice! :) At the pet owner’s home I am more than happy to do walks as frequently as possible I’m a very active person so this is no problem! I’d love to make the sitting unique to each pet and owner and making notes to your specific routine is a must, my communication is very fast and you can contact at any time, I’m not afraid to contact you if I’m unsure on something.
“Cara looked after our 2 furry boys for the day whilst we went to a wedding. She came for a meet up before hand so that she could meet us and our dogs which we really appreciated as it’s such a scary thing leaving your precious fur babies, especially as it’s a first time for us and in a place that we don’t know all that well as holiday makers. Cara made us feel at ease and the dogs loved her straight away. She sent us lots of beautiful photos of our boys enjoying their walk and time with her. Can’t thank you enough, Cara! x”

“Jo has just looked after George for a few days. Brilliant experience. We met before our trip so she could meet George and establish what he needed. The communication was really good, George loved her and the house was super tidy when we got back. First class service and I can't recommend Jo highly enough.”

“Clare was superb, communication beforehand was great. Clare made a big effort to get on with Freddie and looked after him fabulously. They both seemed to have a good time and everything was perfect when we arrived back home. We were very grateful and sure that Freddie will be looking forward to Clare visiting again ?”

“Would highly recommend Greg, the dogs loved him and enjoyed all the walks they got. House was left clean and tidy and we were kept up to date about the dogs while we were away giving us piece of mind.”

“Kerri was wonderful with my dog whilst we went on holiday for a week. She stayed at my house to ensure that he was in his own surroundings and she left my house spotless. She took great care of Norman and sent regular updates to me whilst I was away. Kerri took him on daily walks and gave him lots of cuddles. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviours and she handled my dogs nervousness well. She was professional throughout all interactions. She is very friendly and I highly recommend. I would definitely like to have Kerri come look after Norman again on the future xxx”

“Chloe was an absolute dream! She kept me up to date with my pets and definitely kept my Rocky dog very busy with lots of nice walks. I had lots of photos of them all which kept me at ease. I'm very impressed with Chloe and would 100% book her again. Thank you Chloe, my boys had the best time!!”

“Krissy did a great job house sitting two dogs for us for a good 10 hours, and we’d highly recommend her to anyone. Communicative, sending updates and pictures throughout, confident with the dogs and happy to adapt when we had to ask her to look after a second dog after another sitter cancelled on the in laws. She came to us for a meet a greet after bad weather scupper a walk, and we really appreciated that. Listened to all instructions and we ultimately came home to two happy and relaxed dogs! Thanks very much”

“Lara kindly looked after George when we went to a performance at the Minack Theatre. It was the first time we used a sitter for him and we were rather nervous about it. Lara put our mind at ease and hit it off with George straight away. She went out of her way to help us with a last minute booking and did an absolutely amazing job looking after our precious boy. We will definitely use her again and can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much for your help Lara x”

Looked after the house wonderfully. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Alexander again. I recommend Alexander to all if you are considering a pet and house sitter.”

About: I’ve always had pets growing up as a child, I have taken care of 4 dogs since I was 8. My love for them keeps growing with the years. I have taken care of any animal found abandoned on the street or badly treated, for me they all deserve care and love. I have volunteered at animal sanctuaries so I feel confident to take care of any sort of dog or cat. I am used to having lots of pets around, I love to walk them, cuddle, feed and bathe if needed. I am used to all sort of ages and breeds. I’m a freelance writer and I work mostly from home. I have plenty of flexibility and free time during the week. I share my house with my two friends who both adore animals and would give them much love. I miss my family dogs very much and taking care of your pet would make me so happy. I am always looking forward on spending some time with a four legged friend! I have a quiet backyard, it has a lovely shade and it’s very peaceful, so it is perfect for a day sitting. For the night I am happy to have your pet over unless it’s a big dog then I would prefer staying over at the owner’s home. I am very tidy and respectful, I will leave your house just as I have found it and I do believe the animal will feel safer being at their own home.
“We would definitely recommend Art! He is a lovely friendly guy and really put me at ease about leaving our puppy for the first time. Wilbur is at the full on and chewy stage and Art coped with it all super well, playing with him in the house and garden until he tired himself out. We came back from an evening out and puppy was calm and happy. Very impressed.”

Alex and his son Oliver took amazing care of our pup, Teddy. The communication beforehand was great and we appreciated the update while we were away. Teddy took to them right away. The house was just as we left it and Teddy was very relaxed. We would definitely book again!

Emillie and her partner Callum were wonderful with Rupert and they helped us out last minute. He normally barks at new people, but warmed to them both straight away. They took Rupert out for an adventure, he was very settled on our return and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
