“India took great care of our floating home and boat cat. The place was incredibly clean and tidy when we got home, and Opie seemed very happy. We might have appreciated a little more communication and some pictures of the cat while we were away, but otherwise, we were very happy with India's service.”

About: My biggest so far challenge, was my “staff”breed. In fact, with lots of love, and an appropriate training approach, we bonded perfectly. Once or twice, i walked four “wiggle wags”at the same time, handful of treats worked just as well, we made a one “great pack” effort. A Caring for well-being of your pets will be depending on binding a joy of life, healthy snacks, and a cosy rest. I am self employed and managing most of my own schedule. I will find a time and i can fit in a pet care in, at my best. a Big garden with secured fencing, plus live next to one of the biggest parks in town, so if the pet dog is in need of good run, surely can provide that.
“Bianca was incredible in taking care of our spaniel Red! We had regular photo updates and we were at total ease knowing we could enjoy our day and he was happy and very well taken care of 😇 we’ll definitely be asking Bianca to take care of him again!”
“Megan is lovely. Most importantly, our dogs loved her too. She did just what we had arranged, sent us photos and kept us up to date with what was going on at home, while we were away. We will be booking her again in the future. Thanks Megan, great job”
About: Since a young age I’ve always looked after family’s pets whilst they’re away on holiday. I frequently look after my friends dogs / cats whilst they go away either at theirs or mine. I love long walks & getting fresh air and am a huge animal lover. I work part time as a care and support worker, I spend a lot of time at home & in the garden in my spare time I have a fully fenced garden, with space to have a run around, I have room for anything you’d like to bring over to the house.
About: I work from home and live with my little 3 year old Labrador. I’ve looked after many dogs previously and quite often end up with my families dogs coming to stay as well. I’m up and out by 7ish with my Labrador, and she gets 3 good walks a day, either at the park or the beach or longer on a weekend when we can go exploring I have a fenced garden with grass and patio, my dog is very friendly and sociable so will play nicely along with others. I work from home so plenty of toilet breaks and multiple cuddles during the day
“I cannot thank Ben enough for the incredible care he provided for our cat, dog, and home while we were away. From the very start, he went above and beyond to ensure our pets were happy and our house was in perfect order. Our daughter was especially anxious about leaving our pets, but Ben put her mind at ease by sending regular, adorable pictures and updates - it meant the world to her. He kept us informed about everything, so we never had to worry. When we returned, the house was spotless, and our pets were clearly relaxed and well-loved in our absence. Ben is truly reliable, caring, and professional - we wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. If you need a pet and house sitter who treats your home and furry family like his own, Ben is the one. Highly recommend!”
“Kamila has been an absolute star! She has come to house sit and look after our menagerie of pets including chinchillas, a degu, a rabbit, ferrets and our border collie Milo. Despite the demands of our picky small pets and Milo being somewhat difficult to deal with sometimes she’s taken it in her stride and ensured all were appropriately cared for listening to our instructions to the letter and keeping in touch with daily updates, we cannot recommend her enough. We would love to have her again.”

It was the first time I had left Valentina with anyone so I was very anxious but Montisha immediately put me at ease at the meet and greet. She has a very calming presence and is clearly confident and caring with animals. I returned to a happy dog. Thanks Montisha, will definitely contact you again :)”

Ren house sat for our spaniel Rocco for 3 nights - we were given regular updates morning and evening with pictures and we’ve returned to a very happy dog and he looked more than comfortable with Ren on the pictures. House was left spotless on return. Would recommend & book again! 🙂

Matt has been brilliant with the 3 dogs left with him. The dogs have been well and truly looked after and so has my house. He has left it looking neat and tidy. We can't thank him enough and would highly recommend him to everyone we know in need of a sitter. He left us notes for our return and sent many photos of the dogs.
Kristina is an absolute SUPERSTAR!! From the minute I met her I was totally at ease with who my animals would be spending a few days with whilst we went away to get married! She was incredible, she took our spaniel out to the beach and kept us updated with cute videos and pics of him snoozing away at home. She also took great care of our house bunnies and our home in general, I'll be booking her again in a HEARTBEAT, truly the best!!
Renata is a great dog sitter. She has looked after my greek rescue Vali for me twice now and has been very responsive, friendly and reliable :). Vali can be quite nervous and wary of new people but took to Renata immediately due to her calm nature and confidence with dogs. Will definitely be booking again :).
It's the 2nd time we've booked Montisha and Eric for a stay, but it was the first time since having the new puppy in the family! Montisha and Eric were great and extremely patient with our new addition as she is only 4 months old. When we got home, it was clear both of our doggos were well looked after, and I know we will definitely be rebooking in the future. Thank you both so so much!
Georgia looked after our 3 dogs very well, especially as one is elderly, one can get anxious and the other is a puppy! we had lots of updates, they all seemed very happy and the house was well looked after. I would reccomend Georgia if you need someone to look after your pets.
I cannot thank Ben enough for the incredible care he provided for our cat, dog, and home while we were away. From the very start, he went above and beyond to ensure our pets were happy and our house was in perfect order.

Highly recommend!
Once again Alys has proved why she's our go to when finding someone to look after Rex. She's punctual, respectful and she genuinely cares about Rex which is always a must for us. As we always say, we will be asking for Alys to come to the rescue again in the future. Easily 5 stars ☺️
