“Vlada loves dogs very much. She looked after my two dogs. She is attentive, loving, and punctual. Her tasks were to feed the dogs and then take them for a walk. We have two jack russels, they are very energetic and active, they need long walks, and Vlada did her job great every single time! I am very pleased with her service.”

“Celia has walked my dog Tarmi (springer spaniel) for several years, or looked after him during the day if I am away. She is always polite and punctual and entirely trustworthy. Tarmi loves her, greeting her with a very waggy tail, and I would highly recommend her to look after your pet.”
7. Holly M.
About: I had my own professional dog walking business in the past 'Jolly Dog Walking' I absolutely loved it, it was the best job in the world! Unfortunately my health wasn't great so like all good things, that sadly came to an end. I just focused all my time and energy on my dog instead, making sure he had the best life! Sadly he passed last year and left a hole in my heart. I think looking after other dogs and caring for them will bring back that spark I need in life and if you would like me to look after your dogs I'd be honoured to be your choice! Your dog's wellbeing is my number one priority! I'm canine first aid trained and have good knowledge about canine body language and behaviour so I can keep your pup safe! I study at university online so my schedule is always free. All day every day, rain or shine (maybe not heavy snow though) I'll be available! Before I look after your pet I will ask all the relevant questions so I know how to best care for them. I will need to know all their dietary and exercise needs, about their general health and if they take medication, about food allergies and other allergies etc, about their general personality and if they have issues with other dogs or any reactivity and more. Once I know everything there is to know about your dog I will tailor their care according to their exact needs!
8. Andreea Simona C.
“Andreea is just amazing with my dog Winnie. The videos and pictures that Andreea sends prove how happy she is to see Andreea and her partner and this is a great touch to the service. Andreea is so accommodating and flexible. I would definitely recommend Andreea for any pet services.”
9. Princess A.
“Princess is very trustworthy and reliable. I have first hand experience with her being able to balance her schedule in a way that prioritizes important activities. She is an animal lover at her core and we often exchange stories about our adventures with our animals. She’s a great person and I would trust her with my own animals.”
10. Nicole C.
“Nicole is an active, friendly, responsible person. She has a lot of energy and love to play. She is very creative. I’m sure your loved one, will be in good hands.”
11. Sophie Grace D.
“Sophie has been excellent in caring for my two cats. Each of my cats has a distinct personality—one is shy and reserved, while the other is more playful and mischievous. Sophie took the time to understand their differences and adjusted her approach accordingly. It’s clear that she has a natural connection with animals and a good grasp of their behaviours. She provided them with consistent care and attention, which helped keep their routine steady—something that’s important for them. I appreciated how she managed everything from feeding and grooming to playing with them and maintaining a clean environment. Sophie kept me updated with photos and videos, which reassured me that they were doing well while I was away. Her genuine concern for their well-being made a difference. Each time I’ve returned, my cats have been well-fed, content, and well looked after. Sophie is reliable, professional, and clearly enjoys her work. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a responsible pet sitter.”
12. João M.
“João took excellent care of Lisbela (my senior Labrador) and Mwanito (my cat) while staying at our house during our travels. He sent us plenty of videos and pictures, showing the love and attention he gave to our pets. In addition, João is incredibly organized and left our house tidy and spotless upon our return. Communication with João was seamless, and he was always kind and thoughtful. I couldn't recommend him more highly. Our pets adore João! Thanks to him, we can travel with peace of mind, knowing our home and furry family members are in the best hands.”

About: Since i was a baby we’ve had animals at home. I’ve worked with multiple horses since I was 12 and always took care of my dogs and cats. At the moment im writing my thesis for my study, so other than that I have a lot of free time to take care of animals. So because of this im very open to any time of the day. Safety for the animal is my biggest priority and with that comes trust, i take care of the animal how the pet owner sees to it.

16. ruoyu y.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for two years, including participating in a school dog-walking program and regularly looking after friends’ dogs. My experience includes handling a variety of breeds, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to older dogs requiring special care. I’m attentive to their needs and committed to providing a safe and loving environment. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I schedule regular walks, feeding times, and play sessions to ensure the pets are active, healthy, and happy. I also dedicate time for grooming, training, and giving them attention throughout the day. Whether it’s daily check-ins or extended stays, I prioritize their well-being and adjust my schedule to meet their needs. I primarily care for pets in the owner’s home to ensure they remain in a familiar and comfortable environment. I follow the owner’s routine for feeding, walking, and any special instructions, such as administering medication or specific care needs. I make sure the pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also keeping the home clean and secure during my stay. This helps the pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away.
17. Janire C.
“Jani was great - she was quick to respond and communicate, and even brought a parcel in that had been left at the door. She both walked Dexter and played with him, just like we asked. Thank you!”
18. Devon R.
“I have known Devon since she was a child and she has always been an animal lover. She has always had cats and dogs in her family and has played an active role in caring for them. She is a responsible, trustworthy person and I would have no hesitation in recommending her as a pet sitter.”
19. Megan F.
“Megan has such a loving and caring nature and has a real affinity with dogs. They are drawn to her and feel comfortable in her presence. I would not hesitate to have Megan look after my beloved animals.”
20. Sophie N.
“Sophie loves animals of all types and has a very caring nature. She is mature, responsible and trustworthy. When walking our dog she is confident but relaxed, and considerate of other dogs, owners and pedestrians. She has an easy manner around dogs which they respond well to. She is generous with her praise and affection, happy to throw a ball or play games but will also maintain control on a lead walk.”
