“Hadi is amazing!!! From the first moment he was always very professional - Meeting us beforehand to meet our cat Boris and ask about his care and routines. We are very happy that we found Hadi, he took excellent care of Boris, sending photos and updates from him all the time! We will definitely book with him again! 😊”


“Can't thank Shan enough for the house visits whilst we were on holiday. We were kept up to date with pictures and videos during her visits which really put our minds at ease. Clive rarely interacts with strangers however it was lovely to see both interacting, shows that Shan actually made an effort! I'll definitely book Shan again in the future. Olivia, Douwe and Clive :)”


“Lucy is a lovely cat sitter. She gave us lots of updates and photos letting us know how our cat was settling in and progressing with her. She is really easy to communicate with and I would highly recommend her.”


“Muktar was amazing with Earl! He was very attentive and always made sure he was well when he came to see him at home. He was very adaptable to arrange for times to come see him as well as being happy to spend time with him and play. I’m sure Earl really appreciated his company over the weekend! Thank you again!”


“Joanna was the perfect cat sitter! Amazing little updates via the app every day, with photos and info on how Romulus was doing. She was super accommodating when it came to picking up and dropping off keys, and when it looked like Romulus might not have eaten his dinner one night, she popped over in the evening the next day to make sure he was okay and eating properly, outside of her billed house. Would highly recommend and will be using again!”


“Sarah was very attentive and curious about Yvie and was in communication throughout my short trip away. Every instruction was followed and Yvie seemed to take to her from day 1. Super friendly and always responsive, I would highly recommend Sarah for your dog or cat. Thanks again!”


“As usual, Heidi was on point and we are so glad she was able to look after our cats while we were away. Heidi always provides pictures and videos so we never felt too out of touch with them. Our older cat required steroids and eye drops and Heidi was happy to help with this. Due to her diligence, his eye infection has cleared up and he is feeling much better. Our younger cat was having some symptoms of being poorly and Heidi was quick to bring it to our attention and kept us updated on her status. We felt reassured and relieved that Heidi was the person looking after them when we couldn’t be there when they were ill and felt no doubt that they were in great hands. On our return, our cats were happy, healthy, and snuggly!”


About: I grew up on a farm and have always had pets around, so being around animals feels second nature. I regularly look after friends’ and family members’ pets. I enjoy long walks and work four days a week, so I’m available on Fridays & weekends for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I work four days a week, so I’m available on Fridays & weekends for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. Would be more than happy to have pets from Thursday evenings and over weekends :) Live in a spacious 2 bed with open plan living/dining so lots of options to put bedding/crates if needed:) Also have a balcony so can have lots of air on warmer days!

About: Growing up I have taken care of a variety of pets, Guinness the guinea pig (my imagination for names is not the best), Bubbles a fish I saved from biology class, my little hens Lady Grey and Henny Penny, and our family dog Maya the beauceron. So while I have no formal skills, I love all animals and jump at any chance to spend time with them! I can guarantee that your dog will have regular exercise, play lots of games and be given love and attention while in my care. I work hybrid and in an office that's a 20 minute walk from my home. I can stay at home three days a week with your pet, but if I need to go into the office, and my partner is not at home, then it's very easy to use my lunch break to give the dog a quick walk and toilet break. This is in addition to a morning and evening break in the local green spaces around my apartment. I don't have a garden as I'm a fourth floor apartment, however there are several green spaces we can access for toilet breaks. I live with my partner with no other animals, aside from the tits and goldfinches that come to the window feeder, so your pet will be our top priority.

“Can’t recommend Solveig enough! She gives lots of lovely daily updates and messages as well as being very responsive. Saffies returned very relaxed and happy. Thank you so much again!”


About: I've had pets the majority of my life, before moving for uni I lived with 3 cats, a dog, and two guinea pigs! As well as caring for my own pets, I was also responsible for walking my grandmothers dog during his final years when she was unable to keep up with what he needed for fitness. Looking after pets isn't just a chore in my eyes its enjoyable and I love learning animal's personalities! I'm currently a PhD student which means I have a lot of control over my work hours, so I'll be available to care for pets any time during the work day, as I can come and go when necessary or work from my laptop if I'm pet sitting in yours or my own home! Care for pets in my eyes is treating them like a member of the family! I'll play with, feed, walk, and love your pets. Adaptability is key as well, for example, where my household is big on spoiling with treats (within reason of course), I wouldn't do this without express permission when caring for someone else's pet!

“Ferlin is caring and responsible. She has taken good care of my cat. My cat really likes her. Next time if l need to travel again, I definitely will choose Ferlin to take care of my cat.”
