Claudia took such good care of Pebbles so we could go to the theatre and dinner. She instantly gave a great impression and left me feeling so comfortable leaving our girl with her for the evening! Claudia was flexible in both starting and finishing time and sent messages throughout letting us know what they were up to. I would highly recommend and would definitely love for Claudia to take care of Pebbles again!

First timers with Rover here and it couldn’t have been a smoother experience than with Matthew. He’s clearly a dog lover, sent frequent photos and updates, and was generally a grade A find … No wonder Matthew has so many positive reviews, we’d 100% use him again!

An excellent service. She came over to meet the dogs beforehand, was very responsive throughout, sent lots of pics, and left the place very tidy at the end. We will definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone.

If I could fit my experience with dear Lauren in one word it would be extra-ordinary. From the meet and greet to the aftual period of me being away, and Lauren staying with Bailey everything went very very well. She is extremely experienced with Animals, even tho Bailey is a bit shy and anxious, the bonding happened very quick cause Lauren didnt push Bailey to get to know her quickly and gave him the space he needed. From daily updates to extra walks & buying Bailey a new toy, everything was so lovely. She is an amazing human! A big thank you from Shabi and Bailey.

About: Hi there! My name is Justina and I am excited to meet you and your pet! I decided to become a pet sitter because I live in a very small flat and I can't have one of my own right now. That's why I have plenty of love to give to yours! 🙂 I have had dogs and cats since as long as I can remember (as well as horses, pigs and goats). I grew up surrounded by animals and I miss having them around. We had two german shepherds, a labrador as well as 6 beautiful cats. I was lucky to have such a childhood! Each pet was a unique part of the family and each left a beautiful memory. I will give your pets the same amount of love I have given to mine. I am organised, responsible and fun - I can't wait to hear from you! I have my own business so that gives me plenty of flexibility to organise my schedule around yours. I can work Monday - Sunday and stay overnight. I will always make sure your pet is well looked-after and most importantly safe at all time, whether indoor or outdoor. And that with plenty of love.

Yuwei came to my rescue super last minute due to a cancellation from another sitter and was brilliant. She was enthusiastic and joyful and very sweet with Bernie.

Zeyad looked after my boy Ziggy overnight while ago was out of town. Zeyad was eager to understand all of Ziggy’s needs and likes and was happy to cater to them. I received lots of pictures and updates throughout the day and I felt secure knowing Ziggy was safe and being cared for. Zeyad was kind, caring and paid real attention to detail. I will absolutely be booking with him again!

About: I’m certified in Advanced Pet First Aid (Level 3, VTQ, CPD Accredited & TQUK endorsed) I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and cats with different personalities - from playful puppies to the calm and elderly. While I don’t currently have a pet of my own, I grew up with family pets and have become the go-to sitter for friends and family. Over the years, I’ve been recommended to friends of friends too, which means I’ve looked after a wide range of pets and routines. What sets me apart is my mix of practical experience and ongoing learning. I’ve read extensively on pet behaviour and training, and I’m planning on completing an IMDT qualification to deepen my knowledge. Living next door to a vets also gives extra peace of mind. I’m also hoping to welcome a Belgian Malinois into my home in the new year (not yet found), a decision I’ve spent years researching and preparing for. I’ve gained experience caring for a wide range of pets in the meantime, so I know I’ll be ready to give this intelligent, high energy breed the dedicated time and attention it deserves. I hope this reflects how seriously I take pet care and making sure every animal’s needs are properly met. Whether your pet needs long active walks, calm companionship, or extra patience while settling in, I adapt to their needs and treat them as if they were my own, with a lot of love, understanding and care. I work from home, which means I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine and give them plenty of time and attention. I have a very flexible schedule, including mornings and evenings, and have often accommodated last-minute bookings. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy long walks in the nearby parks and green spaces, so energetic dogs will get the exercise and stimulation they need. For pets who prefer a calmer pace, I’m just as happy providing quiet company, playtime, or cuddles throughout the day. Your pet will never be left for long stretches - I can build regular breaks, walks, and interaction into my daily routine to make sure they’re always comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live alone in a spacious three-floor flat with a large, secure terrace that’s pet-friendly. I live within a stones throw of plenty of parks and green spaces and I’m also right next door to a vets - giving extra peace of mind in case of emergencies. When pets stay with me, they have plenty of space to explore, play, or simply relax in a calm environment where they’re never left unsupervised for long. I stick closely to their usual routines - from feeding times to walks to bedtime - so they always feel settled and at home. When I’m looking after pets in their own home, I treat your space with the same respect I do my own and carefully follow all instructions. I know how important consistency is, so I make sure your pet’s routine runs smoothly. I’ll always agree on a communication plan with you - whether you’d like regular photo updates or just the occasional check-in, so we can work together in the way that suits you best.
