2. Rachel W.
“I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone with pets looking to go away for few days or weeks to look after your furbabies, she has a heart of gold and treats them as if they were her own. We had no worries or concerns whilst away on 2 wks honeymoon last year about our two dogs, Rachel moved in for the whole time and the dogs were treated like royalty whilst in her care. She was covered in slobber and hair everyday from all the cuddles she gave them both. We've booked her again for our trip away in August, she's part of the family. X”

About: Back in my hometown I take care of my dog and my two cats so I am very reliable when it comes to taking care of animals! Since growing up with animals I have always been able to fit into my schedule taking care of pets as i am a very organised person. in the UK pets do not come in my home very often I said do not have a pair of my own but back home I have so many animals in my home.


7. Aleksandra T.

“I can say with upmost confidence, Aleksandra is probably one of the best sitters on here. we booked super last minute and we didn’t get much time to talk about the specifics of the care for our cats as they can be a handful at times and require things to be done a certain way. Despite this she was just a natural around my shy cat, she was very professional and I trusted her completely to drop in and to make sure our cats were happy and healthy. I can tell she really cares and has a passion for working with animals. We will always book with Aleksandra indefinitely until she is either busy or stops pet sitting. Thank you Aleksandra 🫶”


8. kopal s.
“What truly sets Kopal apart is their genuine bond with animals. My pet is always excited to see them, which is a testament to the trust and rapport they have built. I rest easy knowing that my pet is in the best hands possible when I am away, thanks to Kopal's exceptional services”


9. Tania G.
“Tania is a very warm hearted girl with an overwhelming passion for animals. Whenever she’s not around animals you can always find her scrolling through pictures of dogs. She is extremely caring with animals and has lots of experience with both big and small dogs as she has a Westie and grew up around a German shepherd. Making sure her animals are healthy and happy is her number one priority, I couldn’t imagine putting my dog in safer hands ! It’s also worth noting that she was also fantastic with my cats despite not having much experience with them, definitely a natural animal lover !”

14. Elena G.
About: I got my first dog 6 years ago and now at uni I am missing her loads. I want to fill the void by spending time with more dogs! I am experienced in puppy training, dog sitting and dog walking -having done it all before. I am fully available, I prefer afternoons and evenings but I can do mornings as well if needed. Weekends are also okay. Just let me know beforehand. My landlord doesn’t let me have animals in my property so I would have to go to your home to care for your pet if this is fine with you.
