“I was initially very hesitant about using this application and trusting strangers to care for my beloved puppy—but Ania and Philip completely changed my perspective. They were absolutely amazing pet sitters from the very start. You can tell they genuinely love dogs, and they welcomed my little pup with so much warmth and affection. Throughout the entire stay, they took incredible care of her—far better than what I’ve ever experienced at a pet hotel. They’re a loving couple who truly treat your pet like part of their own family. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters, the constantly updated me with pictures and even took her at the pet grooming . I’m so grateful to have found them and would trust them again without hesitation!”

“Chiara took Teilo for an overnight and. a long walk the next day which gave him a great amount of exercise and new experiences. This was only the second time Teilo had been with Chiara and Marco but he greeted them joyfully when he arrived, and was obviously very happy to stay. Chiara has an easy and confident affinity with dogs, and made Teilo very comfortable in their home. She is very reassuring and gives regular updates and photos. I recommend her highly as a sitter.”

“Enrica was absolutely amazing with Soki! She sent me daily updates with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she was very loving and caring with Soki—he looked so happy and relaxed in every picture. She also took care of pick-up and drop-off, which made the whole experience incredibly easy and stress-free. Enrica is such a lovely person, and I felt completely comfortable knowing Soki was in great hands. I would definitely work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, responsible, and thoughtful dog sitter!”

“Gabriela and her partner took amazing care of our Cavapoo Leo for a few days while we were away! We received regular updates and Leo seems to have had a great time with lots of activities, play and trips to the park. Gabriela really made an effort to make sure she knew as much as possible about Leo and his needs before the stay. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough!”

“I’m simply in awe of how caring and attentive Laura was with my sweet boy. From the first messages to the last goodbye, it was just a dream. I have recommended her to everyone I know and will continue to book with her. 10/10 no bad notes. My star girl ✨”

“Victoria was really lovely and caring. She looked after our cat whilst we went away for the weekend and we were assured that she was being left in safe hands! Regularly updated us and was great all round! Would recommend her to a friend and would definitely choose Victoria to house sit our pet again :)”

“Tiziana and her husband were very kind to Bella. They kept us updated throughout her stay. Bella was being a fussy eater as she was away from home and the host spent time making her food that she would eat and feeding her. Tiziana sent lots of photos and videos so that we could see how happy Bella was during the four days. I would highly recommend Tiziana for dog sitting. She is very kind and caring, I will certainly use our services again.”

“Jennifer and her partner were amazing with Freddie. He was in the best mood when we came to collect him and wouldn’t stop smiling. We also received lots of photos and updates. We would absolutely leave Fred with Jennifer again without hesitation. - great experience.”

“Jennifer and her family were absolutely lovely! They were so kind and sweet to my little boy. They’re incredibly responsive and provide regular updates. I can’t wait to have them watch benji again. I would highly recommend!!”

“What a wonderful stay our Elvis had with Paula. I was searching for the perfect person for so long and I found her.. You know straight away when someone is responsible, professional and caring.. Elvis took to her immediately and she took the reins. We have a huge German Shepherd and she knew exactly how to handle him.. She has a lovely space and sent videos and pictures everyday.. Thanks Paula, you're a gem..”

“Absolutely amazing dog sitter. Really helped us out as Mochi is 13 weeks old and we had an overnight commitment booked ages ago in the diary. Her house is super dog friendly and Mochi got to socialise with lots of other dogs, which he loved. Couldnt recommend her enough :)”

“Very good experience, Tracy is well taken care of by Lucia and her husband. She sent me very frequent update and help to walk her every 3 to 4 hours. Will definitely rebook her :)”

“I can thoroughly recommend Iris! This is the second time we’ve asked Iris for help and she’s even outdone herself than the last time! At the end of the 10-days-stay when we went picking up our dog he didn’t even want to leave Iris and had apparently grown very attached to her and became part of the family😃 We are so so grateful that our boy had such a wonderful time at Iris’s. She kept us posted with lots and lots of pictures and videos and took Maodu on lots of long walks, played fetch etc. Plus Maodu had amazing company from Iris’s dog Sunny which is so so lovely. Can’t thank you enough Iris!!”

“Giulia was so lovely to coordinate with and I knew Emmitt was well taken care of! She provided many updates and photos throughout the day and Emmitt came home happy & tired!”

“Michelle was amazing! We highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter ! Very kind, flexible and easy to coordinate with. She made the effort to really understand our boy who was very nervous after some recent fireworks. Michelle took great care of Shadow, sent us regular updates and pictures. Shadow came home happy and relaxed. She is loving, professional and very caring. We trust Michelle and we know that Shadow is loved and well taken care of. Thank you Michelle! Shadow misses you and I'm sure he can't wait to see you again.🐾”

“Our regular sitter moved out of London and I needed to find someone to look after Rufo and Pepa for a holiday weekend. I couldn’t be luckier to have found Camille. she was caring and responsible from the start and she kept us updated at all times. I would recommend her to anyone who needs sitting services in a heartbeat.”

“Francini was a wonderful sitter. Great communication, confident with my dog and giving medication , made the whole experience easy for us . Wouldn’t hesitate to rebook , Django came back happy and looked after . Thank you Francini!”
