“I returned home to a happy content cat and during my stay I received daily updates with a personal touch. I highly recommend Susan and would return for her pet care service in the future.”


2. Jayne H.

3. Jade C.
“Jade has been walking my dog for a good few weeks now. I was really nervous about trusting him with anyone other than family but Jade really is the best and all my worries are gone! The communication was fab from the very first message. She came to our house to meet Chester in his own setting and was a natural with him! He took to her straight away. You can see how much she loves dogs and Chester is always so excited to see her! He comes back from walks so happy and thoroughly tired out. This set up really works for me because life is just so busy and it’s hard to fit everything in to the day. Having Jade means Chester is always sorted with a good walk and has a chance to socialise with other dogs, regardless of how hectic my day is. Thank you Jade, I’m so glad we found you!”


4. Luke K.
“I couldn’t think of anyone I’d trust more with my dog frodo, than with Luke. He’s had plenty of experience with pets and knows how to care for their needs. Luke would be a good dog sitter because he’s comfortable around dogs and loves every one he meets.”


5. Melissa P.
“Melissa has been regularly looking after my Vizsla and she is absolutely amazing with him. If anyone is familiar with the breed, then they know that we are talking about a really high energy, lively, medium sized dog. Vizslas are a handful, but she had no issues what so ever. She was really proactive, she made sure she knows about the training of my dog, the commands, and the temperament too. She is really thorough with everything and her number one focus is the safety and the happiness of the dog. She absolutely loves and adores animals therefore you can be sure your dog will be loved and looked after like it's her own if you choose her.”


6. Jackie H.
“Jackie has looked after my dogs on several occasions (0ne year old Newfoundland 52kg bear & Jasper 10 year old jack russel) she’s cares for them as if they were her own, her little dog Oreo is always happy to play with my dogs.”

“Kyle is the biggest dog lover I know!! He loves all breeds and is so comfortable and caring with them. I would 100% trust him with any pet I had.”


11. Gabriella G.
About: I have owned dogs all my life. I have a whippet cross currently and my parents have a patterdale that I look after regularly. I have an understanding with all kinds of dogs especially reactive! I mainly work evening/night shifts so have a lot of time through the day for walking/spending time with my dog. He’s very dog friendly so would love some new friends. I have a fully fenced back garden, and my dog is very dog friendly. However I do have the time for dogs that need to be alone also.


12. Yasmin M.

“Our regular dog walker moved out of the area, leaving us a bit worried about the care and walks of our rescue dog who had a fantastic relationship with her. Yasmin responded very quickly to my message, and even took her own time to come down and meet us and tank our labrador. She provided a detailed update or her first walk with tank and he had a fabulous time. We have booked yasmin for more walks and coudlnt recommend her enough... Although not too much as we hope she's available for walks with Tank! ♥️”


13. Ellie O.
“Ellie is great and our Lhasa Apso Lola loves her. Always punctual and reliable, affordable pricing too. Makes it easier to leave Lola with Ellie as she clearly has a big passion and lots of love for the dogs she looks after.”


14. Sian A.
About: I’m Sian and I’m my late 30s and I work from home. In 2024, I sadly lost my beloved 11-year-old German Shepherd and am now looking for dogs to share in some daily walks and enjoy some doggy companionship. I have plenty of experience with dogs, as they’ve always been a part of my family, and have had pets of my own all my life. Don’t have any children, so I have plenty of time and attention to give. I love hiking and would be thrilled to have a dog join me on outdoor adventures! I work from home all week so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your animals. Happy to have them overnight too! Don’t have any children and a big house and garden. No current pets as I recently lost our 11 year old German shepherd in October and looking for that companionship again.


15. Daosheng M.
About: With 12 years of hands-on experience in dog care, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior and needs. I used to have eight dogs, and in my spare time, I helped my friends with their dogs, and I used to pick up pets abroad. I love dogs, I love the joy they bring me, I will make sure that every dog can have a happy life in my home. My passion for dogs ensures your pet receives not just care, but genuine affection and attention. Trustworthy and reliable, I prioritize your dog’s happiness and well-being, setting me apart from other sitters. Let’s make your dog’s time away from you as enjoyable and stress-free as possible! I am a student now and I have a lot of free time. I can play with your dog in my free time. I'm completely free about four days a week, and I'm only busy for four or five hours on other school days. I have my own house and there is a big park next to my house where I can take your dog to play. If there is a good place to take your dog to play near your home, I will also take him to play in a familiar place.

17. Olivia M.
About: I have been caring for my own dog for 9 years and like to research correct dog care in my spare time. I also care for my partners two dogs, a puppy and an elderly dog. I currently work full-time but can care for your pet alongside my partner as we both work shifts so have time in between our jobs. I am currently not looking to care for pets in my own home. I would care for pets in their owners home like they’re my own dogs as I know the standard of care I would want for my own dog.


18. Helaina T.

“Helaina did two 30 minute visits to look after my Ruby. Ruby seemed to really warm to Helaina and seemed as though she had a good time. Ruby is an anxious puppy and Helaina really helped her come out of her shell a bit 😊 would definitely use Helaina again!”


19. Josh W.
“I have known Josh for around 5 year and in that time he has shown me how much of a caring and overall nice person he is. He has dogs of his own which he looks after amazingly. They're all well trained, love cuddles and are all very happy. He has helped me looked after my own dog Kali plenty in the time I have known him. He has helped me train her, walk her and even feed her when I needed the help. He has an excellent attitude towards dogs and animals alike and would make an amazing dog walker/carer. I couldn't recommend him enough.”


20. Beth P.
“She looked after my 2 cocker spaniels while I was working a night shift. She did a great job with them. Will have no problem letting her look after them again.”
