“Can always be rest assured when having Ashleigh to look after my golden retiver and having here left alone in my home , she will keep you updated all the time with plenty of photos and videos definitely trustworthy and reliable”


2. Bethany C.
“Bethany is absolutely amazing with my 2 dogs. She cares for them as if they were her own. I have a 17 year old puggle and Bethany is very patient with him. She is able to administer all his medication and adapts any walks to suit him. I also have a 3 year old labrador who adores Bethany. Bethany takes her on long walks and does lots of fun games with her. When going away it is great to have absolute peace of mind that my dogs are happy and being cared for by Bethany as if they were her own. I highly recommend Bethany if you need dog care.”

“Ethan is great, his experience and care for the dogs he looks after is second to none. Couldn't recommend a more capable and considerate sitter.”
5. Steph B.
“Steph has been looking after our dog Stella for several years, and we couldn't ask for a better dog sitter. Stella can be a little anxious and very attached to people, but Steph is incredibly patient, loving, and calm with her. She takes the time to understand Stella’s personality and adjusts her care to match, whether that’s sticking to specific routines, giving her lots of company, or making sure she gets enough play and comfort. Steph sends regular updates when we're away, which gives us peace of mind. We trust her completely and always come home to a very happy dog.”

7. Lilli E.
About: I have cared for dogs the majority of my life at home, my family dog is currently 13 and weve had him since a new born pup! (We just couldn't bare to part ways) and I make sure his life runs as smoothly as possible, despite his lumps and elderly bumps. I often dog sit for family members whenever I can, often for free as I just love the company of animals and the dopamine their happiness brings! I also volunteer once a month at a local dog trust through a scheme at my current work place. Meaning I've walked dogs ranging from the mammoth St Bernard to the teeny tiny chihuahua. I currently work from home Monday-Fri 8 til 4. I am not required to be at my screen all day so it gives me the flexibility to give almost undivided attention to your pets throughout the day and walk them/feed them when needed. I am free most weekends so can work around your schedule. I currently own a flat with a large bay window with cat safe protectors when the window is open to allow my cat to watch the world go by. I also take her on walks via a harness.
8. Florence C.
“Flo is an excellent dog sitter that I couldn’t recommend enough! She has a very calm and relaxed nature which assures my dog and maintains a calm atmosphere. She’s very adaptable to my dogs specific needs, including feeding and exercise requirements. I can also attest to her success caring for her own pets, and leaving my dog with her is so reassuring as I know she’ll treat mine like one of her own.”


9. Ying-Ying Y.


“She looked after both my dogs and did a lovely job as when we came home both dogs were tired and relaxed. So lovely to get the pictures while away as well just gives you a sense of what they have been up to and they look happy which puts you at ease when away from them x would recommend”

11. Abigail G.

“Once again great service and care for our pooch. A fantastic pair of sitters. Thanks very much xx”


12. Gabby A.

“Gabby was excellent. Our two timid cats were very happy with her care while we were away. She sent updates and photos of them and their coats were very soft and shiny when we returned - a great sign of their care and mental health. We will definitely be booking her in again in the future.”


13. Harriet L.

“It was Bingo’s first time with Harriet. Bingo was very excited to see a new face & quickly settled with a chew. Harriet was really good with him & Bingo I’m sure loved having Harriet there with him.”


14. "Karen" Kathleen W.
“I am pleased to provide a strong recommendation for Kathleen as a pet caregiver. I have had the privilege of knowing Karen for 30 years, and during this time, I have witnessed their genuine love and care for animals. Karen has always demonstrated an exceptional ability to connect with pets, ensuring their well-being and happiness in every situation. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply providing companionship, Karen approaches every task with the utmost responsibility and compassion. They possess a keen understanding of animal behavior and are highly attentive to the specific needs of each pet in their care. I have personally seen Karen take care of my own pets, and it’s clear that they treat them with the same love and respect they would show their own family members. What sets Karen apart is their reliability and trustworthiness. I have always been able to count on Karen to follow through with commitments, and their professionalism in handling both routine care and unexpected situations is admirable. They communicate openly and keep pet owners informed, ensuring peace of mind when leaving pets in their care. I am confident that Karen will be an asset in any pet care role, and I wholeheartedly recommend them for this position. Their passion for animals and dedication to providing excellent care make them the ideal candidate for looking after your pets. Sincerely, Dannielle weir”

“Morgan & her partner were wonderful looking after our 3 month old labrador retriever puppy overnight. Morgan was very responsive and really likeable, leaving the house tidier than we left it! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”


16. Samantha C.
“Samantha has dog sat for me many times, I have always been happy with her service, Alfie loves to go and see her and always seems happy around her. Samantha is very knowledgeable about dogs and is happy to spend the time needed to make dogs happy and comfortable. She is very attentive and treats Alfie like her own. I would certainly recommend Samantha to care for any dog.”
17. Jasmine B.
About: Since I was quite young, I have owned a variety of animals, with a porcupine being one of the more unusual choices. Over the years, I have owned numerous dogs and cats, as well as rabbits, guinea pigs, and budgerigars. In the past decade, I have owned rabbits, a hamster, and eventually, Stella, my French Bulldog. At present, I am engaged in full-time employment, making weekends the most suitable option. However, this situation will shift in July when I transition to self-employment, allowing me to be accessible on most days throughout the week. While I am at your home, I will adhere to all established rules with respect. I will adhere to the instructions provided. I will make certain that your pet remains secure and content.


18. Oliver C.
About: Having grown up on a farm, I have a lifetime of experience looking after a wide range of animals of all ages both indoor and outdoor. I work from home a lot of the time and have flexibility in my life to either look after pets in my own home or spend some time at your home where your pets are more comfortable. I have a fenced garden and a suitable car to take any pet around. I also have most experience pet sitting (often in different countries) and will treat your home with care and respect to ensure it is in the same state (if not better) than when I arrive.


19. Claudia F.

“Claudia was absolutely amazing. Made us feel at home straight away as we were so nervous letting a stranger into our home let alone looking after our precious bundle and Kayla took her immediately as well. Claudia was very professional, friendly and helpful. We will definitely be using Claudia's services again and definitely recommend her to other potential clients. Thanks Claudia!”


20. Popa M.
“Popa M. used to be our house mate and our family dog Max just loved being around him. His flexible schedule at work allowed him to take our dog on the extra walk that he was begging for every evening. Sometimes our neighbor's puppy joined them along in the park as well. 10/10 would recommend.”
