“Sasha was an amazing house sitter, punctual, very communicative and most importantly our puppy adored spending time with her which made being away from him so much easier!”
6. Aleksandra G.
“Aleks walks our dog weekly, and always does a stellar job on this as well as house sits. On this particular visit she went above and beyond spending extra time working with our pup Mush Mush to help him feel calm and comfortable in our absence. Aleks is very skilled at reading body language and behavioral cues in shy or anxious pets, and she is kind, calm, and persistent in working with our pup to make sure he is the happiest he can be when spending time in her care. We truly can’t recommend Aleks enough!”
7. Lauren K.
“Amazing sitter, Oto warmed up to Lauren immediately. Lauren is extremely welcoming, professional and flexible which was very important for our first home sitting. Her warm and playful personality helped Oto to feel safe and comfortable. We will definitely be back!”
8. Sofia M.
“Sofia was absolutely wonderful. She came and met Pickle in her lunch break ahead of the house sit so Pickle would be familiar with her, she was flexible with timings, absolutely brilliant with Pickle and a great house sitter as well. Sofia clearly loves dogs, and coming back to a happy, non-stressed Pickle was the best thing after our break. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask Sofia to house sit or puppy sit again.”

13. Henrique F.
“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.”

15. Zoe C.
“Zoe was amazing! I feel that she went out her way to ensure I felt comfortable for example she came to my flat for a pre-meet to meet my cat and go over rules. She was accessible by WhatsApp whilst I was away and sent a picture of Nico as requested. She left my flat tidier than I left it and communicated throughout the stay. Will definitely be asking Zoe to cat sit again! Thank you Zoe <3”
