“We are so happy with Haiqing. She is the best. Our 14 year-old cat has bonded so well with her. It makes us feel incredibly happy seeing the photos of the two of them playing and hanging out. I couldn’t recommend Haiqing more highly.”

“Hayley was fantastic with my young puppy, and was really reliable and friendly. Highly recommend!”


5. Debra S.
“Debra and I met when we both volunteered for a local charity Gratitude. We became friends after we did an art project for the charity, around three years ago. Debra used to regularly walk Boo, an elderly Staffordshire Bull Terrier for a disabled friend Alan who was living in a hotel. When the hotel no longer permitted Alan to keep Boo, Debra arranged for me to look after him. She continued to walk Boo, and also walked my Labrador/Alsatian cross, Yuki if I was unable to. Yuki is a very strong and energetic dog, that can become aggressive towards other dogs in the protection of me or a person walking him. He is hard to handle. Debra is one of only 5 people that can handle him. Later when Alan had died, my oldest kid Ren who is at university near Brighton, has adopted Boo. When the students went on holiday, they asked Debra to house sit and walk and look after Boo for five days and Debra gladly accepted. Debra is polite, thoughtful, and has a keen sense of logic and intuition. She is quick to take appropriate action and is generally very reliable and punctual. I trust her with a key to my house and am confident to leave Yuki and the house in Debra’s care knowing that I will always find everything in order when I’m back. Debra is firm, loving and responsible with Yuki and was with Boo too (who was also aggressive to other dogs). She is disciplined about not feeding the dogs unsuitable food or too many treats. Dogs, in general, seem to gravitate to her. Yuki and Boo love her to bits. She is the best dog walker I’ve ever had.”


6. Jessica A.

“Jess did a fantastic job looking after our fox-red Labrador, Dudley! From the start, it was clear she genuinely cared, giving him plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. We came home to a happy, well-loved pup, and it’s safe to say Dudley absolutely adored her! If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and wonderful with dogs, Jess is the one. We’ll definitely be booking again!”


7. Shannon R.
“Shannon has walked my dogs for me over the years when I havent been able to myself. I would not trust anyone besides her with this. She is excellent and the dogs love her”
8. Holly J.
“Holly is brilliant with pets. Especially with cats where she has a good understanding of them and their needs. She is responsible and very caring. Highly Recommend.”


9. Julia D.

“Amazing!! My lifesaver, helped me out last minute when a catsitter fell through and I was already on holiday over Christmas.. So was able to to visit twice daily even over Christmas day. Was so lovely and helpful and handled my stress and worry with ease. I would highly recommend! Sent pics and vids everyday and I'm soo thankful to Julia. Truly a lover of animals and my cat loved her :)”


10. Laura M.

“I would highly recommend Laura. She looked after my cat while I was away. Her care and attention was excellent. She sent updates which gave me lots of reassurance and peace of mind. I would not hesitate in recommending her service to anyone and I will definitely be using her when I am next away.”


11. Rebecca B.

“Rebecca is the most caring and kind person I've met. She came around to mine a week before she was supposed to pet sit my cat, Mia. She was very reassuring and made me feel comfy with the arrangements set, as I'd never had a pet sitter come before. She valued my opinions and gave me a few suggestions too. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her in the future ! Rebecca send me pictures and a note every day at two different times, whilst I was away. She also let me know when Mia didn't want to come in and tried several things to coax her. The best thing was, she attended an extra visit at the last minute, when there was a change of plan in our holiday! She's absolutely amazing !”


12. Ella P.

“Ella was fantastic with Lav taking him on a long walks even during the rainy conditions. I have one happy dog when I got back from holidays and that's thanks to Ella!”


13. Jessica C.
“Passionate and caring animal lover, you can tell she has experience with pets especially dogs. She is very attentive especially being told about the traits and quirks of our beloved dog Pichu, able to meet his needs whilst being patient”


14. Jackie N.

“Jackie is the sweetest dog sitter and very responsible! I arranged a drop in visit for my two dogs and Jackie kept me updated and reassured me (as a somewhat paranoid dog mum!). One of my dogs is large and can make some people nervous with her size but Jackie was great and both my dogs were delighted to meet her!”
