3. Katherine M.
“Kate is an avid cat & dog lover, often noticing the various animals that are around and being excited to say hi to them (especially sight hounds!) Kate has looked after 2 of my dogs - a 4.5kg Shih-Poo and a 23kg American Staffordshire Terrier. Kate's calming presences and thoughtfulness of the animals allows them to warm up to Kate at their own pace. Kate often observes and reflects on what would be best for my dogs based on each of their personalities. I highly recommend Kate as a sitter your fur baby will be happy!”

“Hannah took my Cocker Spaniel pup for walks for 4 days. He can be quite a handful but Hannah was comfortable with his walks and my specific needs (where he was walked and keeping me updated).

9. Elsa D.
“I just wanted to say a few words about Elsa- she just loves animals, and she was such a fantastic help with my mini Dachshund “Wolfgang” they met when he was a 12 week old puppy and he adored her from the first meeting, playing, going on walks and being in her company as he grew into his first year. I have no hesitation in recommending her to you, she had such patience and love towards Wolfgang, and he was always so excited to see her. I trusted her totally with him, and as I say he enjoyed anytime he could spend with her. Elsa is a totally reliable, organised and responsible person, as I say I would without any reservations recommend her to you and your pet…..”
