Sevinj and her husband were wonderful caretakers. They sat for my dog twice, and he was so excited to see them the second day. Sevinj was also responsive to texts and flexible around pickup and drop off. I highly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience with Vitoria as cat sitter for our little girl. She kept us updated on all necessary info during her stay and made us feel at complete ease. Our Missy can we be quite shy with most but she seemed to take to Vitoria very quickly - no easy feat. It is also worth mentioning that as well as our cat, she also looked after our home while we were away, and we came back to find it just as we had left it. I cannot recommend her enough and would absolutely trust her again in future with our cat and home. Thank you so much! 😊

Sofya was wonderful! She was polite and professional and quickly became friends with Alfie. It became clear that she had experience with dogs that needed a bit more of a gentler and patient approach and she was wonderful at catering to Alfie’s needs. We would trust Sofya with Alfie time and time again.

Where to even start with this incredible human. Dolo was so thorough and engaged with Nigel during her stay. She went above and beyond making sure he had plenty of exercise, and that he was also stimulating his brain. She knows just the right amount of communication dog owners want, providing a mixture of pictures and videos. Nigel was SO well looked after. Dolo left my flat absolutely immaculate. It was cleaner than when I left, and she washed the towels and sheets and remade the bed (which was so unexpected). I came home from a trip and had to do nothing. She not only went above and beyond for my puppy, but for me as well. The most kind and considerate human. 🩷❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Pet Care! Matt was absolutely fantastic looking after Luna! From the start, he was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. Luna was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned — it was obvious she received lots of attention and affection. Matt kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter — highly recommend him and will definitely book again in the future!

We can't believe how lucky we were to find Gennaro. He takes such good care of our 4 pets. When we come home they are all happy, very settled, and they always hate to see him go. Gennaro is easy to work with and sends lots of pictures to communicate how the time is going. I can not recommend highly enough!

Henrique is a great sitter. I left my senior dog Snoop with him at my home, and the care he gave Snoop was exceptional. I received updates through out the weekend and photos, which I found very reassuring. He also watered my plants! I was able to enjoy my weekend away knowing Snoop was being cared for and in safe hands. Thankyou Henrique.

Veronica was amazing and stepped in at the last minute. She was punctual, responsive, and very respectful. My cat Marla has special needs and is avoidant at first, and Veronica was patient and took the time to let her warm up. She handled an issue with the cat flap quickly to keep Marla safe and sent great photos and videos. I highly recommend her!

I used Mark to sit by dog Billy for a week. Mark did a fabulous job looking after Billy. Mark sent me regular videos & pictures an updated me about what Billy had been like & where he had taken Billy pictures showed me Billy was having the time of his life with Mark. Mark went above & beyond my expectations. Will definitely highly recommend Mark he even Strippen the bed & washed them as well as the towels I had left him. I could see he has also vacuumed for me which was a great help. Will definitely be using Mark again. Can’t Prause him enough. Thank you Mark.

I had Evan over to look after my pooch through Christmas, and couldn’t be happier with his level of care and attention to my little puppy, and stuck to my training routine impeccably! He was brilliant and giving me lovely updates, and really looked after my house whilst I was away. My dog has fallen in love with him and shall be booking him for the foreseeable as my favourite dog sitter!

I can’t thank Charlotte enough for looking after our cat Albie! From the start she was kind, reliable and clearly cared deeply about making sure our cat felt comfortable and happy while we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind, and it was obvious Albie was very well looked after and relaxed in her care. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy home — we wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would warmly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy cat sitter.

Lin looked after my cats (and house and garden) brilliantly while I was away. Everything looking happy and well cared for when I arrived home and I was really reassured by the daily photos and updates. Lin also managed our other particular household quirks - what happens when the cleaner comes, managing the recycling and rubbish etc really well. I hope she enjoyed her stay and might be willing to come again in future!
