“Patricia did an incredible job visiting and looking after our cat Leo. We'd recommend her to anyone. Punctual, responsive and great communication throughout; along with wonderful pictures of our cat that really gave us piece of mind on our holiday. Leo clearly felt safe and comfortable with Patricia, and well looked after.”

5. Kristie M.
“I wish I had found her sooner! Our Spaniel, Winter absolutely loved her stay while we were on holiday in Turkey. Will definitely be letting her stay again and so much better for her than the kennels (and a lot less worrying for us)!”


6. Michela S.
“Michela is a kind, trustworthy, and dedicated pet caregiver. She’s always patient, attentive, and loving with animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care, without any doubts. 11 out of 10!”


7. Louisa S.

“Louisa was fantastic in helping us out when our train home got cancelled and could look after our cats an extra day at short notice. Would definitely recommend”


8. Carly M.
“Our dog Todd always has great fun on his walks with Carly ! She is always flexible around our working arrangements and we trust her completely with looking after him. We look forward to look at his pictures that she sends us after each walk to see what adventures he’s been having when out and about. We would highly recommend her to anyone.”


9. Hope A.
“Hope is a true dog lover. We have used her services lots of times in the past for our Labrador and Cocker Spaniel. She has a lovely manner with the dogs and they love spending time with her. She makes sure that the girls are well exercised, receive lots of attention and have all their needs met. Hope asked a lot of questions about what we wanted for our dogs and took into consideration all their needs. They are not the easiest on lead (but are brilliant off lead!) and she is so patient with them. Our lab has allergies and Hope is very good in making sure that she does not have anything that could set her off. I promise you won't regret trusting Hope with your dogs, highly recommend.”


10. Benjamin Y.
“Benjamin has been our go to pet sitter for our husky, since 2020. He is super reliable, great with our energetic boy, gives him long walks, plays with him, and has stayed overnight in our home with him to keep our boy feeling safe and loved. I will absolutely rehire Benjamin the next time we go out of town!”


11. Alex M.
“Alex is a great dog sitter. He looked after my 2 chihuahuas who can be fussy eaters but this was no issue for Alex. My dogs also have to feel safe around whoever is looking after them and Alex was able to gain their trust and build a special bond with them.”


12. Bailey P.
About: I've come from a big family of animals, including birds, cats, dogs, reptiles, hamsters, rabbits and guniea pigs. I have an MA in Human-Animal Interaction and my retirement plan is to open a rescue sanctuary to work with vulenrable people. I am currently renovating my property to include a barn for chickens and goats, to add to the two dogs and the two cats I have. My rescue cat is a senior, and my rescue dog is nearly in his golden years too, my other two I have had since they were a puppy and a kitten. Whatever age your loved one is, I have a wealth of experience, patience and love and would be delighted to take care of your furry family. I am currenty unemployed while I work towards my rescue sanctuary, so I can be pretty flexible. With my own pets, we walk every day, explore new places at the weekend and we take time in the evenings to train or to spend some time with various enrichment. I have a 6 foot fence wraping around my garden, signs on my gate to make other people aware of the animals and I have blocked off any sneaky escape artist areas. In your home, I will adhere to the rules you have in place. I have worked with many skittish dogs and cats and I am no stranger to those that have a rebellious streak!


13. Kimberley L.
“I can't say enough great things about Kim and the care she provided for my dogs. From the moment we met, I could tell she had a genuine love for animals. Kim goes above and beyond to make sure my pooches felt comfortable and loved. She provided daily updates with photos and detailed notes about their activities, meals, and behavior. It was clear that my dogs were having a wonderful time, whether she was playing with them, going for walks, or just snuggling on the couch. Kim treats the dogs like her own, making sure they are happy and content. She was attentive to their needs, and her home was clean, safe, and dog-friendly.”

16. Amanda S.
“Amanda has helped me out a couple of times and has been an absolute lifesaver. She has taken my 3 dogs (2 spaniels and a yorkie, so not known for being angels) for the day so we could attend an all day wedding. She has also taken one of my puppies over night while I was on holiday and my partner was working night shift. They have all had a great time and always excited to see her again.”
