1. Emily S.

“We have used Emily on 4 occasions now and every time our dog is so happy to see her at the door! We know that she is in great care with Emily, and completely trust her with the dog. Emily is a lovely girl and a great sitter, and would highly recommend her”


2. Rachel Louise H.

“Rachel has looked after Snowy for a long time now. I usually ask her to take him for a short walk before she returns to my home with him. She understands that Snowy is a rescue dog and he can be anxious and insecure. She always gives me feedback about anything that happens during her visit. I trust Rachel completely with Snowy. She is very calm and Snowy is happy with her.”


3. Savannah R.

“Savannah looked after our rescue dog Luna for 10 days while we were on holiday. We received regular updates and photos throughout, and came home to a very content dog. We’ll definitely be asking Savannah to look after Luna again.😊”

“Durga is fantastic! Highly recommend across all categories. She pulled together a plan to help us out last minute and was punctual, kind, communicative and a pleasure to work with. Thanks Durga!”


5. Evgeniya S.

“Evgeniya was a brilliant sitter. She arrived on time, asked all the right questions and sent photos during the day. When I arrived home, our dog was very content and settled (rare when I’m not around). I would recommend Evgeniya to anyone looking for a care and competent carer for their animal. I will definitely use her again.”


6. Margret F.

“Margret was amazing with Kibo. He really loved her straight away and enjoyed his day. He loved playing tug and had a nice walk. He currently has a sore paw 🐾 but Margret was very careful looking after him. She was punctual and very professional. I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for quality care.”

8. Ruby D.

“Ruby looked after our nervous dog whilst we were away for the weekend and couldn’t recommend her more. She was very calm and confident with him, managed his reactivity on walks and left the house looking immaculate.”


9. Merrily R.

“Merrily is an amazing Sitter! She gives 110% and your fur babies are in very good hands. Both My puppy & cat love her! She is very observant, kind and talks to the animals in their own voice and they really respond to it. She has also been of great support to me and we would’ve been lost without her! I wouldn’t hesitate to book Merrily again and again, and both my fur babies would agree! ❤️”

“Jessica was great, she looked after our two cats for a few days, very professional and neat. Super friendly and punctual. Would recommend 100%”


16. Courtney N.
“Courtney was great! She gave updates and provided our four dogs with excellent care. We felt totally at ease with her staying in our home with our pups. Everything was left tidy and our pups were so happy!”


17. Elle-Rose G.

“Elle-Rose was a great sitter! Winston (who can sometimes be a bit cautious) immediately warmed to her! Loads of photos and updates were sent throughout the day and I'll 100% be using Elle-Rose again in the future!”


18. Nats N.
“Anyone who knows me knows that my dog is my heart and soul, so it is very important to me that whoever is responsible for taking care of him knows how important he is to me, and takes very good care of him. Nats has looked after my dog several times, including house sitting and longer stays when I've needed to travel. She is very careful about ensuring he sticks as much to his routine as possible and in being attentive to his needs. I feel so much more comfortable having her with him and of course she takes excellent care of the flat as well. You would be remiss not to snap her up to look after your pets too.”


19. Paris C.

“Paris was great with our two dogs, was lovely to see they were happy and comfortable with her from the get go! Made it easier knowing they were in really good care. Will definitely use again and highly recommend Paris ?”


20. Suraj U.

“Suraj was wonderful with our cocker spaniel. From the moment he entered the house he put Berry at ease and they got on really well. Suraj sent lots of photo updates and I felt totally secure knowing Berry was well looked after - we will definitely be rebooking!”
