1. Balbina A.

“Balbina was fantastic! I’m so impressed that she got Pina to go out for a walk on her first sit. That’s pretty unheard of! I received regular and lovely photos and videos of Pina and Luna being very fussed and looking really happy and comfortable. Couldn’t be happier with Balbina’s care. Will definitely book again”


2. Inna B.

“Inna did a fab job house sitting for us and minding our cavapoo, Reggie. She took time out to arrange a meet and greet beforehand so we could run through everything and made sure Reggie was happy. We will be definitely booking Inna again! 😊”


3. Alice S.

“If I could leave a 6/5 star review, I would! We have two yorkies who are old, tiny and extremely precious to us. We therefore are very picky who we leave them with. Alice could not have been a better choice. She kept us updated (the perfect amount to make us feel comfortable, but not overwhelmed) administered medication to the one dog and honestly for two anxious dogs, they looked completely relaxed and happy when we arrived home. I think they can’t wait for our next trip. Thank you so much Alice!!!!”


4. Jordan F.

“Jordan came and dog sat my St Bernard Indi for a day. She immediately took to him, which isn’t always the way with her. He was really good with her, very calm ( as she can get over excited) played with her, was very respectful of my house, punctual and took to looking after her 💯. Would highly recommend Jordan.”


5. Sienna C.

“Sienna looked after our Labrador Woody in our house for 5 days. She clearly loved spending time with Woody and always kept us updated, with photos of him on walks and relaxing. This was the first time we’d left him with someone else for so long and we were worried. We needn’t have been. We came back to find Woody was a happy boy! Sienna was great at communication and very obliging in relation to Woody’s preferences. She was also flexible. I thoroughly recommend her for dog care.”


6. Oliwia & Finlay K.

“Excellent care of Bella and Ruby as always!”




7. Marrianne B.

“Marrianne has a very nice, calm personality and was a really good match for my two Siberian cats. She paid close attention to all the instructions, was very conscientious and sent lots of photos and updates while I was away, which really put my mind at rest. I came home to a very tidy house with happy, relaxed cats. I would definitely book her again.”


8. Markéta B.

“Marketa dogsat our Randall at our flat for nearly 2 weeks whilst we were on holiday, and she was great. She is very, very sweet with our dog-they have built a lovely bond. She sent updates and pics, and we felt very reassured all was well. She also had medication to give him which she did with no issue, and left the place spotless. A wonderful, caring sitter who loves animals and we would recommend to anyone.”


9. Emma B.

“Emma was great with my nervous dog. She arrived on time and had great communication :)”


10. Azaria F.

“Azaria took amazing care of our 2 boys. Highly recommend.”


11. Marta G.

“For Marta’s third dog sitting sesh (second four hour visit) she continued to go at my nervous rescue’s pace and comfort level. And after being slow and patient, she had success getting the harness on and getting Sookie out for a walk. Hooray! Very pleased with her reliability, communication and treatment/care of my pooch, and will be a regular sitter for me going forward. Especially as Sookie seems to be warming to her well.”


12. Mia W.

“I can’t recommend Mia highly enough! She looked after my dog, Maya, and two cats over a long weekend and truly went above and beyond. Maya is an energetic, strong, and very affectionate dog who can be a bit of a handful — but Mia handled her with total confidence and calm. From the start, she was incredibly reassuring, taking everything in stride and immediately building a rapport with all three animals. One of the most important aspects for me was Maya’s medication — Mia administered it without issue and kept me updated with regular check-ins and photos, which really put my mind at ease. I t was clear that she cared deeply for their well-being and gave them all the love and attention they needed while I was away. I returned to a clean and well-looked-after home, happy pets, and total peace of mind. I would absolutely ask Mia to pet sit again, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so capable, caring, and trustworthy.”


13. Jessica E.


“Jess has been a star. Our little cocker spaniel pup had such a fun time playing with another little dog that he didn’t want to leave! Photos/videos were sent throughout the day and great communication. Would def recommend!”


14. Jessica L.

“We are so happy to have found Jess to look after our 3 year old Cockerpoo - Bertie. Jess came to stay at ours last week whilst we were away. It was a last minute arrangement as sadly our regular dog sitter had to cancel a few days before our holiday due to an accident. This meant Bertie had not spent any time with Jess before we went away and we ourselves only had a short amount of time to decide if things would work out. This was a bit if a stressful situation but from the moment I contacted Jess she was very reassuring and a great communicator. Once we met and chatted I felt she was very trust worthy and keen on dogs. She has experience of walking and looking after dogs (and children) and was clearly happy to spend some time with a four legged companion. We received lots of photos and messages whilst we were away and it is fair to say Bertie had some great adventures. I would definitely book Jess again. We even came home to an even tidier house than when we left! Thank you Jess for allowing us to have a break that was made even more relaxing as we knew Bertie would be in safe hands. See you again soon!”


15. Samantha R.

“Couldn't recommend Samantha highly enough. She really put our mind at ease and for the first time ever we had a holiday without having to worry about our cats. She really took the time to understand our cats routines and needs. We have already booked our next break and will be booking Samantha again. Thank you so much.”


16. Jade C.
“Jade has looked after my cat since he was a kitten, she always sends updates and pics and genuinely cares for him, and I know she’s the same with all animals. I would highly recommend her, any pet will be well looked after in her care.”


17. Amy H.

“Amy was great with my dog. From the moment they met, my dog instantly warmed to her, which gave me great peace of mind. I really appreciated that Amy took the time to meet us both before the booking. During the booking, she kept me updated with photos. I’d absolutely book Amy again.”


18. Gemma H.

“Very happy with Gemma. Great communication (kept us updated with photos), well spoken, and left the place very clean and tidy. Perfect pet sitting. Would highly recommend :)”


19. Johanna H.

“Johanna is wonderful, she's super experienced with animals and really went the extra mile with making sure our dogs were comfortable and well looked after while we were away with plenty of walks treats and cuddles. Dill & Mimi absolutely loved her from the start and I could tell they didn't want her to leave when when we returned as they were still trying to engage with her with their toys which was SO cute and reassuring. She also made some really helpful suggestions that I will be implementing. Johanna is reliable, punctual and communicative with plenty of photo updates to reassure while we were away. I would not hesitate to recommend.”
