Abigail has been truly wonderful. Not only has she fed and watered my two cats, she’s watered our garden and taken in the post. She’s also been in daily contact with both photos and updates. We will definitely be booking her again next time we go away.

Lois is a lovely lady. She was very good with Garfield despite the fact that Garfield was very wary of her. The way she was with him was captured on our doorbell camera. I am sure over time Garfield will get used to Lois as we will certainly be asking her to look after him again.

She was very wonderful and caring with our bunnies. Even our aggressive bun took a liking to her and she bought them a gift before she left. She went above and beyond and I couldn't have asked for anything more from a sitter.

About: I’ve been caring for cats and kittens for over three years and have two of my own, including one cheeky orange boy who keeps me on my toes. Because of him, I’ve learned to keep a close eye on curious cats and make sure they stay safe and out of mischief. I have experience looking after sick cats, including administering medication, water, and probiotics to a poorly kitten I hand-reared. I’m also confident handling cats with different personalities and good at conflict resolution between them. Grooming is part of my daily routine. I love keeping coats smooth and clean, and I pay attention to each cat’s comfort and mood. I’m passionate about feline wellbeing and often research ways to make cats’ lives happier and healthier, from enriching playtime to stress-free feeding routines. I’ll always care for your cats as if they were my own, with patience, love, and lots of cuddles (if they want them). I currently work part-time from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to cat sitting. Pet care fits naturally into my day since I already care for my two cats and have a calm, structured home routine. I’m used to giving cats my full attention and creating a peaceful environment where they feel safe and happy. Whether it’s pop-in visits or longer stays, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your furry friend is doing well. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I keep feeding areas and litter trays clean, give fresh water and food daily, and maintain a calm, tidy environment. I brush cats regularly and pay close attention to their mood, appetite, and behaviour so I can spot if something seems off. I’m happy to keep the home clean while you’re away and can also water plants or tidy up as needed. I treat every home with the same care and respect I give my own and make sure your pets are happy and well looked after while you’re gone.

About: I have taken care of my dog since I was 5. I have also taken care of all the dogs inside my family, if they need a dog check-in, taking care or any need. I am happy to help! I am a student, living in London over the summer. I have a lot of free-time before and after GYM. So, with my free time, I hope I can take care of your dog. I can easily walk your dog around the parks in Hackney. I am always around London Fields, Haggerston and Broadway market. So I am familiar with the areas

Well done Ellie. On my return I found happy and healthy cats, what more could I want!! The photos she sent were lovely. The cats had their play time, she didn’t just feed them and go. They were very content when I got back so I must highly recommend Ellie for her cat sitting skills

Dipali showed respect for all my requirements, and gave me regular updates (including photos) of how my pet (a cat) was doing. It was clear when she visited, and from the photos, that my often nervous pet felt relaxed around her, and she was calm and happy to engage with them. She didn't hesitate to raise a minor issue with me when she encountered it, and on return everything seemed to be in order. She contacted me in a timely fashion to arrange return of my keys. I would not hesitate to use her services again in future.

About: Since I was young, I have always been surrounded by animals in the house. When I was four my grandad and dad brought me a puppy for my birthday (meggie - Westie) this beautiful dog is still alive today and I have never had a bestfriend like her! My dad also had to have professional working dogs, this meant I experienced a lot of relationships with all different types and sizes of dogs. It taught me how to train, love and care for animals in such an insightful way that I still uphold today. Not only did we have dogs but we had all sorts of animals. I currently live at home with my mum where we have two dogs. One is a staffy that we have had since a puppy from a breeder and one is a bichon that we adopted later on in his life at the age of six. By seeing both adoption and breading I believe it has given me the opportunity to understand why different dogs/animals need different things due to their upbringing. As well as providing me with the patience to learn about trauma and providing a safe space for animals. I’m currently a university student, so I am home for the whole of summer and have plenty of time to come check on your pooches! Even when I’m back at university, I commute from home. This means I am about most of the time as uni is only two days a week for a few hours, allowing me the perfect flexibility to care for your gorgeous pets. At home both of my dogs are currently crate trained, however I do sneak them into bed with me for a cuddle occasionally! I am open to all routines and would keep this the same for your pets so that you don’t lose any trained routines.

Second time booking with Chloe and would definitely do so again. She was so kind and sent great detailed updates with lovely pictures. The cats were clearly loving their time and its clear Chloe really cares for all animals! She even left a little report card so I knew what my two had been up to! Couldn't recommend more.

Our cat is very wary, touching on the neurotic, but Leanne managed to get close to her and she was much more relaxed when we got home than she normally is. For any cat owners I would certainly recommend Leanne
