“Lovely pictures has been sent, Gita absolutely love Kelly , Kelly is professional, and animal lover, I am so appreciate and thankful for care which has been provided.”


2. Rachel W.
“I would just like to say what a professional attitude Rachel has towards the pets in her care. She has home-sat for our 2 DDB/Rotty crosses and they love her so much that they didn't want her to leave! She is a very caring and thoughtful person and we would certainly prefer to leave our dogs with her rather than any kennel or boarding home. We are looking forward to her staying at our house to sit with our dogs while we are away on holiday.”

“I've never used a sitting/pet care service before so was a bit apprehensive and slightly nervous, however upon our first meet Charlie put my mind at rest - my dogs loved him and he instantly had my trust. Charlie took any notes needed around their personalities and care needs, and kept me well informed throughout, in fact, I think my dogs prefer Charlie to me!! ? I'll be definitely using Charlie's services again. Tha k you so much!!”

About: My experience is little but I can definitely build a great relationship with your dog or cat and willing to understand them making them feel comfortable with me. Currently studying my MA in Contour Fashion Innovation at De Montfort University & live in Leicester City Centre so able to provide help with dog walking to anyone in city centre or close by. I’m at university 2 days a week and work in retail. I'm always willing to make things work where I can I may have little experience compared to others but I’m definitely confident in caring towards your pet making sure they’re happy & safe. I’m willing to let your dog see I’m safe to be around & understand their behaviour and being patient with them. I’ve previously owned a puppy, I used to work in a restaurant/cafe in my hometown and would always make sure my customers dogs were happy which lead to building great relationships with my customers and their dogs. When leaving that job I had a customer give me tip for taking care of their dog (Brie) which was unexpected but made me feel happy to make a difference & provide a good experience for their dog as well as the other dogs that came in. That job enabled me to become more confident around dogs.
