“Justina was amazing! Our dog Alfie has separation anxiety and is usually wary of strangers, but made him feel completely comfortable. She took great care of him and kept us updated.”
“Yi looked after Frida for the first time yesterday and it was a lovely experience. She’s so friendly and was really attentive throughout — she made a great impression, and it was clear Frida had a great time with her. We will definitely be booking Yi again! 🐾”
“Claudia saved our bacon at short notice too! When we returned our two dogs were very relaxed (Claudia was by this time was ‘under a pile of dogs’. Heaven for them. Thank you so much Julia & Nick Happy New Year!”
“Where to even start with this incredible human. Dolo was so thorough and engaged with Nigel during her stay. She went above and beyond making sure he had plenty of exercise, and that he was also stimulating his brain. She knows just the right amount of communication dog owners want, providing a mixture of pictures and videos. Nigel was SO well looked after. Dolo left my flat absolutely immaculate. It was cleaner than when I left, and she washed the towels and sheets and remade the bed (which was so unexpected). I came home from a trip and had to do nothing. She not only went above and beyond for my puppy, but for me as well. The most kind and considerate human. 🩷❤️”
“Zoë was fantastic with our cats! She followed their routine and they enjoyed their time with her, it was nice to go on holiday and know they were very well looked after! Both cats took to her very well and even came to say goodbye before she left. I would highly recommend Zoë and we will definitely use her again! Thank you Zoë, from all of us!”
“Najma is incredible. She has been looking after my cat Sabrina anytime I’ve been travelling this year. She sends me daily check ins with a mix of photos, videos and updates on my cat’s mood. I’m incredibly grateful to her.”
“Mariefi is amazing with animals! She has got such a warm personality and absolutely love dogs! She was amazing with my 5 month old cavapoo puppy! Will definitely use Mariefi in the future 😊”
“Alice was so wonderful with Tuii and Lulu. She was so happy to take them to the park for lots of fun walks and she shared photos of their fun time together. Alice stayed in touch through the day and was very responsible with them. We definitely will use Alice again and would highly recommend her services. I felt so secure knowing she just adores dogs and is a lovely kind and gentle person. Thank you 🤩”
“Fantastic dog sitters! They took amazing care of our 11 month old dog and we were able to enjoy our holiday knowing he was in good hands ❤️ endless photo and video updates as well which we really appreciated!”
“Ash has been an absolute blessing for our family—we truly adore her. From the moment we found her, we knew our puppy was in the best hands. She is incredibly attentive, loving, and genuinely cares about his wellbeing, giving us complete peace of mind whenever we’re away. Ash is also an excellent communicator. She sends regular updates and photos, and is always proactive in asking thoughtful questions if anything comes up. It makes such a difference knowing exactly how things are going at home. On top of that, she takes wonderful care of our house—everything is always left spotless and well looked after. We’ve already had her sit for us multiple times, and we will absolutely continue to rely on her in the future. She is truly a gem and a one-of-a-kind person. We feel very lucky to have found her.”
“Very grateful to Lili for having sitting our beloved Podenco. I appreciated the updates, pictures and availability to meet us earlier to make sure our dog would feel comfortable with her.”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I had a Jack Russell from just a few weeks old until he was 16 years old, so I've experienced every stage of a dog's life, from puppyhood through to old age. In his later years he developed dementia, arthritis and heart disease, so I understand the extra patience, care and attention that senior dogs need. Because of that, I have a real soft spot for older dogs and I'm confident caring for pets who need a slower pace or a little extra support. Alongside owning dogs, I have experience dog sitting and house sitting, caring for dogs in their own homes and helping them stay happy and settled while their owners are away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes and am particularly good with nervous or shy dogs, always taking the time to let them build trust at their own pace. I work part-time as an Assistant Psychologist in the NHS, where I support people every day with compassion and patience. I bring that same approach to caring for dogs, taking the time to understand each dog's individual needs and personality. My aim is always to make sure your pet feels safe, loved and comfortable while you're away, giving you complete peace of mind. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you always know how they're getting on. 'm happy to follow your dog's usual routine, including feeding schedules, medication and any specific instructions, to help them feel as settled and comfortable as possible I work part-time as an Assistant Psychologist in the NHS, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I'm mainly available for house sitting, dog sitting and dog walking at weekends, with some weekday availability depending on my work schedule. I'll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise and company, while sticking to their usual routine to help them feel relaxed and at home. When caring for your pet in your home, I'll always respect both your space and your dog's routine. I'll follow any instructions you leave, including feeding schedules, walks, medication and bedtime routines, to help your dog feel as comfortable and settled as possible. I understand that every dog is different, so I'll take the time to get to know their personality and needs, whether they're energetic, shy or enjoy a slower pace. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, happy and loved while you're away, and I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages for complete peace of mind.
About: Hi, I’m Jeni. I’ve always been the person who stops to say hello to every dog I pass, so this felt like a really natural thing for me to do on the side. I work from home full-time, so I’m around during the day to keep them company rather than just popping in and out. I know dogs can get lonely when their owners are away and, honestly, I enjoy the company just as much. I love getting out for walks, being outdoors and giving dogs the attention, play and fuss they deserve. I’m clean, tidy and respectful in other people’s homes, so if I’m staying overnight, I’ll make sure both your pet and your home are well looked after. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, overnight sitting and general care, and I’ll always treat your dog like they’re my own. I can also send updates and photos so you know they’re happy and settled while you’re away. I work from home full time, only occasionally going into the office (usually once a week), so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I'm fortunate to have an understanding boss, which makes it easy to adapt my schedule when needed. I'm an early riser and, because I spend much of the day at my desk, I enjoy getting outside for regular walks. Looking after a dog would fit naturally into my routine and give us both a reason to stretch our legs. I'd love to offer boarding, but unfortunately I live with housemates who have allergies, so I'm only able to provide care in your home. I'm reliable, tidy and respectful, and I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I'll follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, give them plenty of attention and affection, and keep you updated with photos so you know they're happy and in safe hands.
“Laura was on time and attentive to Archie , they seemed to have a good time together and a couple of walks over the 6 hour period . She bonded well and took some really lovely pics of Archie that sent me . A very good first experience”
About: I've grown up with my gorgeous red cockapoo, Alfie, who was part of my family for the past 10 years, so I've always been around dogs. Over the final five years of his life, I took on much more responsibility for his daily care, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure he's happy and well looked after as a senior dog. I also regularly help care for my boyfriend's two labradors, Leo and Luna, so I'm confident looking after larger, more energetic dogs too. During that time, I've also dog sat for neighbours, making sure their dogs stick to their usual routines with walks, meals, and plenty of attention while they're away. I'm reliable, patient, and just adore dogs!! Having just graduated last week from University, I am highly flexible, available across the summer and September to care for your dog. Therefore, I am able to prioritise pet care for when is most suitable for you. Your dog's safety and happiness are my priority. I'll keep them safely on lead unless instructed otherwise, make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention, and return them home happy and well looked-after.
“Beatriz was amazing! They kept us up to date the whole time with pictures of our puppy, even coming a few days beforehand to meet our pup and make sure they were familiar to each other. We had complete peace of mind knowing Beatriz was with our dog, and so well looked after Thank you so much Beatriz!”

Ash was absolutely lovely and took great care of Yoshi. They had a great time together with lots of playtime and cuddles, and the photos and updates she sent were very reassuring while we were away. She is reliable, trustworthy, and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. I would definitely book Ash again! 🤗
Elaine took amazing care of Peach and Pebble. They felt comfortable and liked her right away, our girl cat who’s shy even let her give belly rubs! When a cat likes someone you know they are a great person. Elaine left our house spotless, was very respectful and considerate. She also sent us amazing photos and updates, we highly recommend her as she exceeded all expectations and left us feeling calm and secure that our cats and house is in safe hands!
I’m so glad I found Sophia! 😊 From the very first message, she was incredibly responsive, kind, and easy to communicate with. I really appreciated how quickly she replied and how supportive she was throughout the whole process. We had originally arranged a booking, but I had to cancel because of a last-minute work issue. Sophia was so understanding and flexible, and made the whole situation completely stress-free. Her kindness and professionalism were actually the reason I came back to book with her again. Before the booking, we met so she could get to know Eddie and I could show her around the house and explain his routine. Everything went exactly as planned. She communicated really well, arrived on time, and took great care of Eddie for a few hours. She is genuinely kind, reliable, and lovely to work with. I would absolutely book with Sophia again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! 🐶❤️
Erika was absolutely wonderful! She accepted our booking at the last minute and went above and beyond to make sure she arrived on time. She looked after our dogs so we could go out and watch the England match, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The dogs loved her from the moment she arrived, and it was so reassuring to receive lots of photos and updates throughout the evening. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We’re so happy we found Erika and will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and caring pet sitter!
We had the most wonderful experience with Maud looking after our beloved cat for three days while we went on a short break. Maud was comminative throughout our time away, sending ample photo updates to keep this cat-mumma calm while she was away from her fur baby. House was left clean and tidy and plants watered, mail collected. Thank you so much Maud, we have booked you again and we are sure Lunar is looking forward to seeing you again.
Lisa is incredible. She looked after our 6 month old Westie for 9 days while we were in the South of France. She would send us frequent updates and was incredibly responsive. She took him for 2/3 walks per day and even spent time training him. She took the best care of our Winston. We came back to a spotless house and a very happy puppy. We have already booked her for our next holiday
Emily was absolutely fantastic in looking after our Bruno. We had a last minute emergency that may have put some people off, but Emily took it in her stride and provided the best care that we could have asked for. Cannot recommend enough - we really appreciate it!
Claudia was wonderful. She spent the entire day looking after my Guide Dog and she did a wonderful job. Claudia sent us photos throughout the day so we knew our dog was happy. She listens very carefully to instructions. Really cant say enough good things! We would recommend Claudia to anyone.
Had a wonderful experience with Stefani! She looked after my cat while I was away for a week and everything went great. She’s amazing with animals and really made sure Shushu had the best time. And during heatwave as well, which is hard for both pets and people, she took great care to help Shushu get through it, helped him cool down, brushed him, etc. Would definitely ask Stefani to care for Shushu if I have to travel again!
Emily was absolutely fantastic looking after Yuki. She kept me updated throughout with plenty of messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It was clear he was very well cared for and getting lots of attention. She also left the flat incredibly tidy, which I really appreciated coming home to. Emily was reliable, communicative and a pleasure to deal with. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to look after Yuki again in the future.
Lisa was really wonderful with my 5 month old australian shepherd Willa, and helped me out with a last-minute booking request. Willa clearly had a great evening with her and slept soundly through the night, and woke up calm and refreshed. Lisa sent plenty of updates and I felt very comfortable knowing Willa was being well cared for.
Cannot recommend Elena enough. She was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. It is immediately clear that she is a genuine animal person with a wonderfully kind nature; my cat was in the best of hands. She was incredibly trustworthy and made the entire process easy and stress-free. Throughout my time away, she provided regular, reassuring updates. She even went above and beyond by keeping a close eye on my plants during the recent heatwave, providing frequent check-ins on how they were holding up as well. The extra care she took, even giving my cat massages, speaks to how much she cares about the pets she looks after.
