“In a nutshell, Jake is absolutely amazing. Very professional, always responds extremely quickly, updates regularly, flexible and just an all round great guy. We would highly recommend Jake and will of course be using him again.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for over 10 years. I have trained and walked two collies regularly so I am used to long walks with energetic pets. I have also pet sat a springer spaniel collie cross which was a delightful experience. I can give your dog or cat they enrichment they require to feel happy and content whether it be a senior pet or a puppy I can do it all. I am currently a university student, so i have certain days in university which i will either not work or will only offer walks and visits. When dogs are in my care, we go by routine. I have either walk dogs two or three times a day depending on their breed and ability. These walks generally last around an hour and a half, but they can be longer or shorter to fit with the dog themselves. Secondly, play is hugely important so I personally with my own dogs at home would use puzzles, play tug of war or practice tricks (sit, roll over, sit pretty etc). As for cats, they are much more independent. For my own cat (who has now passed on at 19!!), we would have a feeding schedule along with the daily treat alarm clock, which was followed by her going outside until she wanted to come back in.
About: I've looked after dogs most of my childhood. I have experience walking with senior dogs who need a bit more time as well as experience, training and rearing young pups as well. I work from home full time so I will be in all day while your pet is with me, so they will always be safe, and attended to. I have a small garden they can be out in if they would prefer, otherwise they can keep me company indoors as I work away. I will take them on a good walk to the local park on my lunch break to let off some steam.
“This was our second time leaving our dog with Eva and I honestly can't fault her, I wouldn't leave him with anyone else now! Eva kept us updated daily with my dogs mood and daily activities, it was apparent how well cared for he was by her and didn't want to come home!”
“Dude stayed with Erin for three nights and had a sweet little getaway! She was really kind and sent us tons of photo updates, which made us feel super at ease while we were gone. We always knew what he was up to and that he was in good hands. He also made a new best friend (and possibly a girlfriend) with her dog, which was so cute — they became fast friends and it totally melted our hearts. Overall a great experience, and we’d definitely feel good about leaving Dude with Erin again!”
“We were blown away by Anna and Alex’s care for Ronnie this weekend. The communication was perfect throughout. You could tell they really cared about fully understanding and catering for Ronnie’s special needs. Lovely updates while we were away and total peace of mind. We’d ask them to look after him again in a heartbeat and would recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy sitters to look after their pet. Thanks again Anna!”
“I don’t even know where to start, I genuinely couldn’t have wished for a more caring and loving person to look after my boy 🥹♥️. He’s a very high energy working cocker and she had him sleeping on the sofa within the first few hours. She took him on so many amazing adventures and he had loads of different experiences that I really doubt he wants to be home! From the first meeting she had a mini interview where she asked me absolutely everything about Pickle. What he likes, what each command means, his favourite toys, treats, you name it. From that moment I knew he was going to be in good hands 🥰 I would take him back to Julie in a heartbeat, I’ve never felt relaxed leaving him with anyone and now finally I feel I can enjoy having time away for the first time since having Pickle ♥️🥒”
About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs, including my own Shih Tzu, so I understand their needs and personalities deeply. I’m gentle, patient, and great with both playful pups and senior dogs. I focus on comfort, trust, and keeping each dog happy, safe, and loved—just like they deserve. I work part-time on weekends from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m., so I’m free most afternoons and weekdays to walk, play, and care for dogs. Spending time with them fits easily into my routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to every day! I treat every dog as if they were my own. In a pet owner’s home, I follow their routine carefully—feeding, walking, and playtime just as instructed. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, keeping their space clean and cozy while giving them plenty of attention and affection.
“Duke had a fab time with Rachel. She kept us updated throughout his stay. Being an older dog with health issues it is always a worry to leave him with someone new but we were out at ease from initial contact. Thank you!”
“Alla took great care of our poodle, was super flexible and accommodating, and sent me tons of photos and updates on their adventures so I knew he was having a great time while we were on our weekend away. I think he had an even better holiday than we did! I would definitely book with her again anytime we need a dogsitter.”
“Kiko has just came back from a practice run overnight stay with Zosia before we go away in June. He has loved his time there and came home Absolutely knackered he has had a great time. Zosia was really patient with kiko as he was a little unsure to begin with as he never leaves us but Zosia was great with him. Definitely recommend and kiko can’t wait till June.”
“Viral and his wife took amazing care of our family dog. They looked after him like he was their own pet and provided me with lots of updates, pics and videos to put my mind at ease. I was worried about leaving Ralf for our trip as he is like another child to me, but even from the meet and greet prior to the the stay my mind was put at ease”
“Phoebe is an excellent sitter. Great communication and nothing was too much trouble. After making a mistake with the drop off time (my fault), Phoebe quickly sorted it out with no drama. We would highly recommend Phoebe and look forward to using her again in the future. Thank you so much”
“Olena and her son gave Fezziwig the best time while we were away for a long weekend 😊. What we liked about Olena is that she was really keen to know what Fezziwig liked right from the beginning. We received some lovely photos and videos regularly and this was so reassuring while we were abroad. Fezziwig was having the best time and this meant we could too. He was able to enjoy playing with his tennis balls on a walk and Olena ensured she gave that priority as she understood that was important to help him settle. In fact Fezziwig settled right away and when we collected him at the end he was calm, happy and had been well loved. We fully recommend Olena as a dog sitter as she really cares for dogs and they are happy around her. Thanks Olena and your family…until the next time. 😊”

“Grace was wonderful with our new puppy and was very welcoming to our situation. Since he is only 11 weeks old and hasn’t had his second vaccination yet, we needed someone who could care for him on his own, without other dogs around. Grace gave us frequent updates and photos, which was very reassuring. Oscar seemed to love his stay so much that he almost didn’t want to leave! We would definitely recommend her.”
“Teddy enjoyed his vacation with Michaela and Dave. Lovely country walks, lots of love and cuddles in the house, secure garden for Teddy yo play in, regular photos updates. I will definitely be recommending Michaela to other owners who are looking for a home away from home for their pooches.”
“At very short notice Kim looked after Alfie. Cant praise her enough made Alfie feel totally at home which was peace of mind for us. Gave regular updates. Think Alfie has had a lovely weekend being well cared for and spoilt like home from home. Would totally recommend Kim to any dog owner.”
“A big thank you to Barbara who took Peggy at quite short notice. Some lovely photos sent to us, Peggy enjoyed her stay and we very much look forward to booking with Barbara again.”

Once again Sarah has made holidaying without the boys a worry-free process. Regular stories and updates about their daily antics, feeding, sleeping and playtime makes it reassuring when you’re on the other side of the world. The boys settled quickly into a routine with Sarah that is just as I have with them at home - regular and controlled meal times, laying on the sofa watching tv, sleeping on the bed, going for occasional short walks, and play time with my more active pooch. Would highly recommend Sarah
We had a great experience with Phoebe while we were away on holiday. She took brilliant care of Buzz and kept us updated, which really put our minds at ease. Buzz was happy, relaxed and clearly very well looked after when we got back. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Phoebe again and would happily recommend her to others.
Sarah has been amazing whilst looking after our dog for two weeks. She has provided so many photos and updates and we could see from the start Revy was loving his stay and getting the best care we could have asked for. Plenty of love and walks. We didn’t have to worry at all! It definitely won’t be Revy’s last stay with Sarah and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a trusting and loving dog sitter
Anna was brilliant with Ruby when she boarded with her for a few nights; we had total confidence that she was well looked after and could see that Anna was going above and beyond to make sure Ruby was comfortable and happy. All her medication was sorted, regular walks done – even in the snow! And daily updates with photos were really appreciated. We would not hesitate to book with Anna again, and would wholeheartedly recommend her 😊
Thank you Andrew for looking after Jessie. I was totally confident that she would be well looked after. I was impressed with your professionalism. Your communication with me was excellent. You clearly wanted to know all about Jessie's needs and how you could accommodate them. Thank you for sending us the daily updates. Would highly recommend. Thank you again.
It was the first time we’ve used Rover and honestly Holly was amazing! We were so nervous to leave Rex with someone other than family, but Holly sent regular updates and photos which kept our minds at ease. Rex seemed to settle well and enjoyed his stay. Thank you!💙🐾
Miggy I hear was very badly behaved, which is so unlike her and I'm truly sorry for the experience and disappointment in what should have been a smooth and straightforward transition so absolute kudos to Milena for putting up with it and doing her level best, alongside her partner Simon. Couldn't thank her enough. I will be taking behavioural steps so this can not happen again. I was off grid whilst away so was completely unaware of the naughty shenanigans. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Absolute diamond of a help!
