1. Lucy S.

“Wonderful as always; great with the cats and very responsive. Thank you for taking care of our kitties, even when going through an emotional loss of your own ❤️”


2. Karla E.
“Karla is truly fantastic with dogs! She has been taking care of my pup for a while now, and I couldn’t be more pleased. From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals. My dog instantly felt comfortable around her, which says a lot! Karla is incredibly responsible and attentive, always making sure my dog gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. She keeps me updated with photos and messages, so I know my fur baby is in great hands while I’m away. It’s such a relief knowing that my dog is not only well-cared for, but also having fun! If you're looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter who will treat your dog like family, Karla is the one. I highly recommend her!”


3. Selin C.

6. Joshua D.
“Josh has been great since taking my dog Walter on a few walks. Wally always enjoys going for his walks and is always excited once Josh arrives to pick him up! I will certainly continue using Josh’s services with working a busy job it’s great to know Wally is being looked after and has had a walk and check in while I’ve been away.”


7. Elizabeth G.

“Elizabeth was a fantastic cat sitter for my Princess, she turned up everyday and looked after her. I felt totally at ease whilst on my holiday and I knew I didn't have to worry about my cat. I would recommend Elizabeth and I will definitely book her again, 10 out 10 for Elizabeth”


8. Heidi M.

“Heidi looked after our cat while we were overseas and it was so reassuring to work with her as her communication was top tier. Heidi sent us loads of videos, pictures, and updates while we were away so we got daily doses of how our cat was getting on. We returned home to a well looked after and happy kitty, and it seemed like she missed Heidi! We felt really comfortable trusting Heidi with our cat Andy and will definitely rebook in the future. Thank you again Heidi!”


9. Sofie W.

“Sofie was amazing and able to help with a drop in visit and short walk with Merlin at very short notice. Communication was great throughout and would recommend to anyone!”


10. Graeme M.
“Graeme has cared for my young pup both at his home and at my own home on a number of occasions. He is a loving, reliable and attentive dog minder. He keeps me updated with how my girl is getting on and always responds quickly. He is a lovely, friendly person who cares a lot for dogs and I wouldn't hesitate to call upon his services again :)”

12. Rebecca A.

“Rebecca was very patient and caring for gizmo who is a nervous dog. She left him some treats, refilled his water and kept him company for a little bit. She kept me updated the whole time while being friendly and professional.”


13. Ana O.

“Ana helped us out with a short notice request to look after our Kira as we needed to get away for a couple of days. Great report, flexibility in terms of hours and a great connection with our cat. It’s good to come back home to a relaxed and well looked after cat. Not the first booking and certainly not the last. Highly recommend.”


14. Lucy A.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my cat! Lucy is so lovely, providing pictures and updates with every visit. Bean was cared for perfectly, being fed regularly, played with, and given lots of cuddles. This was my first time leaving her with someone other than family whilst I was away, but Lucy made me feel so comfortable and reassured that my girl was happy! I could not recommend Lucy enough, and will definitely be using her services again ❤️”


15. Adrienn B.

“It was great having Adrienn visit my cat. She kept me informed and spent time playing with him. It was lovely that she sent me several pictures of him.”


16. Susanna A.

“Susanna was the perfect cat sitter for my little guy over Christmas! She stuck to Leonardo’s feeding schedule, provided plenty of updates and pictures, and gave him all the love and attention I couldn’t while away. I felt very reassured that Leonardo was in safe hands.”


17. Caterina C.
“I highly recommend Caterina as a pet sitter. She has a genuine love for animals and always goes the extra mile to ensure pets feel comfortable and safe. Her attention to detail, responsibility, and ability to create a nurturing environment make her the perfect choice for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I trust her completely with my pets, and I know they will be well cared for and happy in her company!”


18. Natalia G.
“Extremely happy with the care provided by Nathalia to our cats. They were very well taken care of, photos and videos with her playing with them and petting them were sent and several updates were provided throughout the time we were away, which helped ease our worries since it was a long period. Will be rebooking!”


19. James F.
“James was absolutely phenomenal taking care of my little boy. He respected my cats boundaries on being picked up and took such a lovely care of him. They are now best friends and I wouldn’t hire anyone else. He was also always punctual with our agreed sitting times, send loads of pictures (as I requested) and didn’t mind the cameras I had at home, he even said he does the same. Overall a great experience, thank you James.”
