1. Maddie B.

“Maddie has been wonderful taking care of Louis. Thoughtful and considerate to his needs, clearly communicates and the most important thing is he is super happy at the end of his walks/time with Maddie. Thank you for looking after him like he’s your own.”


2. Melanie B.

“Mel gives 10/10 every time she visits Bella! She's always well walked and tired out after the hour and you can see how much she loves Mel when she first comes in! Thanks for always being so helpful and understanding 💖”


3. Victoria T.

“Victoria was fantastic, she was incredibly reliable and punctual and will definitely be booking up with her any time I need a dog walker in the future!”


4. Maria N.

“Maria is absolutely lovely. Coco loved going for a walk with her and didn’t want her to leave ?. Coco has a lot of energy and hardly ever sleeps during the day even after a walk. After his walks with Maria he came home and slept for a few hours. He was so much more relaxed than normal. Maria is very calm and she passed this onto Coco. I love how she takes pictures and uploads them for us to see. If I need to book a dog walker again I’d definitely use Maria and highly recommend her. Thank you again Maria ?”


5. Aimée H.

“Stella was done through private adoption and I had only had her for 1 week when I met Aimee. Aimee has been amazing , when we had our meet and greet she spendt a whole hour with us during our walk. She got to know Stella very well and all her behaviours , which really put my mind to rest. During her walks with Stella she always gave updates and how well she is doing these were a joy to read. She is constantly ensuring that she has the correct information on Stella before she meets her and is genuinely interested in how the progress of Stella is going. Aimee is amazing and the perfect dog walker for Stella.”

“Samantha has looked after my two Westie’s Teddy and Walter on several occasions. She is excellent with them, taking time to play and interact with them. She has patience as they were only a few months old the first time. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to look after your pets whether for day care or overnight or holiday boarding.”


8. Sabrina F.

“We’re so happy we found Sabrina to help us out on busy work days. She’s been walking Bako twice a week and we feel comfortable and confident that she’s well taken care of during this time. Sabrina takes the time to reach out and provide feedback on Bako’s behaviour and overall wellbeing. Communication is simple and would highly recommend her services.”


9. Constantin D.
“Chris has looked after our little pup Freckles several times. She is a rescue dog so can be a little nervous and apprehensive but Chris took great care of her and she looks forward to her visits. He sends us pics regularly to reassure us she is having a great time. I can't recommend him highly enough.”

12. Julie E.

“I am so happy with Julie's service. I asked her last minute to walk my dog Milo on NYE and she replied really quick. She picked Milo up from my dad's and took him on a really good walk through the woods. We received lots of photos of Milo and her dog Nahla and they got on really well. Was quite nervous as this was the first time we had used the app, but Julie's constant updates put my mind at ease allowing me to enjoy my time away. Definitely will be using Julies service again!”


13. Zara R.
About: I have experience caring for pets, including my aunt’s new puppy, which I look after on weekends. I make sure she’s well cared for by feeding her, bathing her, playing with her, and keeping her happy while my aunt is away. I also help my nan by walking her dog, which requires a lot of exercise due to her energetic breed. I’m reliable, caring, and passionate about making pets feel loved and cared for. Flexible Schedule! With plenty of free time and a passion for animals, I’m fully available to care for pets. As someone aspiring to build a career with animals, this opportunity is the perfect start for me to provide dedicated and reliable care. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I always follow the instructions provided to ensure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. On walks, I use a reliable leash and keep pets on the leash at all times unless the owner specifies otherwise. If there are any special requirements or preferences, I encourage owners to let me know right away so I can provide the best care possible. My priority is to ensure pets feel secure, happy, and well-cared for.

About: I've had cats and dogs all my life from when I was a young child to now having two dogs of my own. I have experience with small dogs and large breed dogs. I currently work shifts so am looking to use my free time to spend more time with animals. I often have daytime's and nightimes free for walking and sitting and can be reasonably felixible with times and dates. I aim to bring all your pets home comforts to them and can provide extra toys and activities to keep them busy. I also have access to a variety of training equipment such as crates and longlines etc should your dog require anything extra during our walks or overnight stays.


16. Kristian W.
“As long as I have known Kris he has been around Cats and Dogs of his own and looking after people's prized possessions their dogs and cats. He appreciates the love and care that we want for our pets and how it is sometimes hard to make the decision to leave our pets in someone else's care. He has looked after our 2 little Westie dogs Poppy (14 years) and Teddy (6 years) whilst we went on our holidays. He was kind and very considerate to Poppy and Teddy's needs especially Poppy with her being old and suffering special needs. I didn't have any doubts about leaving them with Kris as I felt an instant feeling of understanding and care, and I was not wrong as when we returned Poppy and Teddy were very happy and seemed to have had a ball. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kris to have your well loved pet and Teddy and Poppy will definitely be returning.”

“David helped me out at short notice and was excellent with his communication at all times both during the booking process and during and after walking Ralph. Would highly recommend”


20. Jessica W.
“Jessica has looked after our cat and dog multiple times when we have gone on family holidays. I didn’t like the thought of kennels and would’ve otherwise cancelled holiday plans however Jessica did a wonderful job looking after our Bruno and Bella, she sent us lots of photos, regular updates and played with both of them every day. I would recommend Jessica and am sure she will be pet sitting for us in the future!”
