“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 ?”
“Maggie & Juno had a lovely time while Rose looked after them. Rose has a lovely calm manner which the dogs responded very well to. They were very relaxed in her company which made it very easy for us to have a weekend away. Rose was punctual and left the house very tidy. She let us know all was well and sent photos updates throughout the weekend. Thank you so much Rose.”
“This was Louisa's second time sitting our dog. She did such a great job. He's really comfortable with her and adores her already. She's prompt and great at keeping us updated on our dog's care.”
“Kelly was a delight and a very reliable dog sitter for our old dog Pip. She stayed overnight and Pip was a happy and relaxed dog and could continue his daily routine as Kelly knew exactly what he needed. I would definitely ask Kelly again to look after Pip.”
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.

“Rush was with my Leo for a day. She is literally the best sitter you could ask for your pet! She has a caring nature and she is so gentle and takes the time to understand your pets individual needs. She also has such an amazing personality. I recommend her to everyone.”
About: I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pet! I truly enjoy interacting with animals, and caring for them fits perfectly into my lifestyle. It is important to me that pets feel loved and protected, even when their owners are not around. I am available to house sit every day. This schedule allows me to spend enough time with pets for play, walks and care. I am flexible in my schedule and try to adjust to the needs of pet owners. When in the owner's house, I always try to maintain cleanliness, order and the routine that the pet is used to. I carefully monitor safety - I do not leave doors open, do not give the pet anything unnecessary, strictly follow the feeding and care instructions. My goal is to create a warm and safe atmosphere where the animal feels comfortable and the owner - calm. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pet!

“Alex is absolutely wonderful, inside and out! We cannot recommend her enough. We felt very comfortable having Alex dog sit our cockapoo in our home and received daily pictures and updates, which was very lovely to see our pooch so happy and loved whilst being away. We returned to a very happy dog and clean, warm home. She certainly went the extra mile for us. Thank you again so much Alex, we are certain Nellie will miss you and look forward to using your wonderful services again soon.”
