“Both of my dogs took quickly to Katherine. She was very respectful of my pup’s quirks and it made me and them feel at ease. I will be asking for her help in the future with confidence.”
“Rose was great with our 11mo cocker spaniel, clearly very capable with dogs and he took to her so quickly. We had a bit of an ordeal with the key and Rose was so calm and happy to help take Manny for a spontaneous walk to keep him happy and calm while we sorted it. Would recommend!”
“Mary-Ann was so amazing and took good care of my baby!! She has been sending pictures daily and we did a few video calls as well during the time I was away! Definitely recommending her ?”
“Thank you so much for the most amazing pet-sitting and house-sitting experience I've ever come across. Ahmed is extremely good with animals, he looked after my 9 year old Pekingese dog in my home for 12 nights while I was away. His attention to detail is impeccable. He even trained my doggy so that he is better behaved. Ahmed is extremely polite and attentive to pet and house needs, what an amazing job done. He kept in touch with me throughout his stay which I really needed, sent me lovely photos of how my doggy was doing and took care of everything. I will definitely be requesting his services again and highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a pet-sitter. Thank you so much, you're an absolute star and the best I've come across ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

About: Hi, my name is Jodie and I've been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember! I provide pet sitting and dog walking services in Hertfordshire. I have backgrounds on farms, in catteries and vet practices. I hold a level 3 diploma in animal management and a bachelors degree in zoology. I am also currently working toward my masters degree in Clinical Animal Behaviour. If your pet needs claws clipping or basic grooming I can also provide this service as well as administering any medications. With visits I will also spend quality time playing with your dog/cat so that they're fully enriched whilst you're not there. I currently work 32 hours a week in a cattery, with flexible days. I tend to pet sit or dog walk on my days off or on evenings/mornings. I have a car in which I can take dogs to safe walking areas, and if I am working in your home I will do my utmost best to leave it how I found it. Any dogs with no recall training or weak recall training will not be allowed off of leash.
“Ella has been simply amazing with my Olimpia! She pet sitted her for 2 weeks, looking after her with love and kind heart, while ensuring the right level of excercise for a Vizsla! She's 100% reliable and provide constant updates. So grateful I've met her!”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and regularly look after pets of friends and neighbours. I worked in a veterinary practice (as a manager nothing medical!!) but have experience with holding or assisting in administering medications.

About: I grow up surrounded by animals, and I have my own 3 dogs that I consider my children. I raised, disciplined and trained them properly. I’m currently unemployed and applying for apprenticeship, so while I wait I have plenty of time and I will still be free on the weekends. I will take care of them just like how the owner does it and focus on things I should and shouldn’t in the owner’s property.
“Debra has been absolutely wonderful with my cat! Reliable, caring, and clearly a true animal lover. I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty and regular updates while I was away made all the difference. Highly recommend!”
