1. Emma A.

“Emma is so wonderful, and we feel so much happier knowing our two whippets are having drop-in visits when we’re working longer hours! Would absolutely recommend her for all your dog sitting/walking needs!”


2. Haylie C.
“Haylie took care of my 2 dogs whilst me and my family were away. She took amazing care of them, kept us updated the full time and they both came back as happy as ever!”


3. Natasha J.
“Natasha is great with my dog Toby! She has been walking him for years and he loves going with her. He’s getting older now so he can’t walk as far as they used to but she is still great with him!”


4. Rozaliya T.

“Rozaliya has looked after Merp on a few occasions now and has been brilliant. Always great at communication, very flexible and Merp is always well looked after <3”


5. Hugh M.
“Hugh is an amazing pet caregiver! He took care of my two high-energy German Shepherds while I was away, and they absolutely adored him. He not only kept them happy and well-cared for but also took them on runs—something I can’t do at my age. They loved him so much that we had to schedule playdates even after he finished sitting! Hugh is responsible, kind, and truly goes above and beyond for the pets he looks after. I highly recommend him!”


6. Lauren S.
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbours and friends dogs since I can remember and even more so when we got our own dog ,Margaux, during lock down. I’m currently a uni student with a fixed timetable. I have Thursday, Saturday and Sundays off. Mondays and Fridays I finish at 4 and for Tuesday and Wednesday 3.30pm. I have a large fenced garden with plenty of fields and rivers near by. A lovely cavapoo and two cats who get along with the dog perfectly.


7. Hyun Jo H.
About: I have had the absolute joy of living with my dog, Chu, for 17 years. She was a 5kg Shih Tzu who was very bossy and surprisingly good with food, except for sweet potatoes and egg yolks. And she also enjoyed sparkling water. With her, I have experienced all the life stages of dogs and got weirdly skilled at hiding things in cheese. I am currently working as a work-from-home freelancer. I can offer a flexible schedule to fit your needs and your dog's needs. I am typically available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and weekends from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. My top priorities are your pet's safety and well-being. I try to maintain your pet's familiar routine in the comfort of their own home and on walks if needed, minimizing stress and anxiety. Before beginning care, I conduct a thorough meet-and-greet to understand your pet's needs, preferences, and any medical requirements. As a responsible pet sitter, I respect your home and privacy. I will follow house rules and also maintain a clean, smoke-free environment.


8. Dominic W.

“Dom was fantastic looking after our cat Charlie with 2 home visits a day. He sent great updates each visit and was more than happy to accommodate our various requests, I’d happily use him again if we go away.”


9. Elise P.
“Elise has had an excellent rapport with a number of dogs, including Toffee and Fudge, who we took on from an animal sanctuary, as well as our energetic spaniel Roo. Elise is very kind and responsible and an obvious animal lover.”


10. Isobel B.
“Isobel is a trustworthy, caring and honest young lady. I have her in my house and trust her with my dog and home when away. I would recommend Isobel for house stays or to just walk a dog and know that he is in good hands.”


11. Theodora P.
“Theodora is a reliable and enthusiastic pet parent and dog walker. She puts the needs of the dog first and will make sure they are happily fed, walked and played with at all times. As a medical student, Dora is a smart cookie and can be depended on to deal with situations and events to keep your beloved pet safe. The only downside might be that they get cuddled too much!!!”


12. Janire C.


“Thank you Janire! (:”


13. Celia D.

“Celia was excellent! Would highly recommend. My puppy loved her!”


14. Ellie M.

“Ellie has been doing regular puppy visits for our golden retriever puppy, Peggy. She can be a bit anxious but Ellie has been amazing with her and she is always very calm and ready to sleep by the end of her visit. She is very reliable and always very quick to respond to any questions. I would highly recommend her and feel that she is very trustworthy!”


15. Claire d.
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.

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. 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.”


18. Sophie B.
“Sophie has looked after my dog twice now for a week at a time while we go on holiday and always looks after him just as we do at home and he loves when she comes round. She takes him on long walks and always gets up to feed him and is always there to give him attention.”


19. Holly M.

“Holly did a fantastic Job with out cats while we were away. We would definitely recommend and will be in touch again whenever we are in need!”


20. Anastasiia M.
“Anastasiia looked after my dog Luka, German Shepherd. She is a bit reactive and needs long walks but Anastasiia did the hob great! She sent me lots of updates so I was calm while being away. She followed my instructions on feeding and walking schedule. I would definitely recommend Anastasiia for booking!”
