“Mel was absolutely wonderful caring for my two cats while I was away visiting family for a couple of days. Her communication was excellent as it was detailed and reassuring and included plenty of photos. I wouldn't hesitate to ask her to look after them again in the future.”

3. Bryony E.

“I honestly can’t recommend Bryony enough! This was my first time using a cat sitter and I can’t express how luck I was to find Bryony. Not only did she come to visit myself and Willow in advance of her booking to ensure Willow was happy and content in her presence, but she went above and beyond, keeping me fully updated throughout her time with Willow, providing me with updates and pictures. Thank you so much Bryony, you really are wonderful and I most certainly will be booking you for all future sittings I need for Willow (who absolutely adores you) xx”


4. 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.”


5. Harriet L.

“Lovely communicative sitter who gives detailed updates - I felt completely at ease for our whole booking knowing my cat was being looked after by Harriet :)”


6. Maria N.

“Maria was such a great help when I needed someone to check in on my cats. I received lots of pictures from her visit and updates on how my boys are, she fed them and played with them. They can be a bit wary of new people but Maria understands that a slower approach with cats is needed sometimes and they quickly got used her. This was the first time I’ve used Maria but will definitely keep her in mind for future when needed. Highly recommended, thank you!”


7. Ying-Ying Y.

9. Aimée H.
“Aimee is an extraordinary cat sitter, truly the best we've ever had! We have four cats of varied breeds, and Aimee loves them as if they were her own. Her genuine affection and understanding of each cat's unique personality and needs are remarkable. Aimee’s meticulous attention to detail ensures they are well-fed, entertained, and comforted. Her warm, caring nature and professionalism give us complete peace of mind. Our cats adore her, and we are grateful for the exceptional, personalised care she provides. We couldn't recommend Aimee more highly for her outstanding service and genuine love for our feline family!”


10. Gill W.

“Gill was brilliant at looking after our poorly cat while we were away and we couldn't praise her highly enough. She is very caring and clearly loves animals. Her communication was great and we felt very reassured and safe with her popping into our home. We were so impressed and grateful at her commitment and how resourceful she was at expertly giving medication to our very reluctant cat- she had a 100% success rate with all the pills! Thank you so much Gill :-)”


11. "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”


12. Martine B.
About: I am currently studying veterinary nursing in Newport south wales university. I have a staffy and Chihuahua so am very experienced in looking after and caring for different dog breeds. I have 4 years of experience when it comes to looking after animals so therefore I am able to attend to their individual needs. This is something I am passionate about and I enjoy doing. Due to my studies being post of the weekdays. I am available on Wednesdays, Thursdays aswell as weekends. This is where I will be able to spend my time looking after and proving care for your animals I am living in a student accommodation so unable to have the pet in my own home however this is where I am able to offer dog walking, drop in visits and house sitting for owners if requested. When at an owners house I am able to carry out any requests they need. For example, feeding them certain diets at certain times, keeping house tidy, walking them etc


13. Dora "Dolszi" S.

“Brilliant service! Exactly what the little German shepherd needs.”


14. Maddie B.
“Maddie has looked after my dog Willow on multiple occasions when I have been on holiday, for up to weeks at a time and she does a wonderful job every time. Willow absolutely loves and trusts her, which is amazing considering she can be an anxious dog. Would definitely recommend Maddies dog sitting!”


15. Stephanie T.

“Stephanie is amazing with our Kayla, she is super friendly and professional and very helpful and flexible and does everything in her power to meet our requests. I would definitely recommend her to other people looking for dog walking or sitting services.”


16. Sabrina F.
“Had to leave my furry friends for the weekend, to visit my family. They were cared for exceptionally well, the food was given per their schedule, needs tended too, everything was clean and spotless. I am sure of this because my pets now like her more than me... Definitely a big recommendation from me.”


17. Emma E.

“Emma was lovely and Ruby took to her straight away which was a weight off my mind as she was a very nervous cat. Would recommend her to anybody looking for a reliable pet sitter.”




18. Julie E.

“Julie sent lots of photos with her updates which gave us the reassurance we wanted that our three cats were being well looked after whilst we were away. Before sitting for us Julie came to meet us and our cats, and it was clear she was an animal lover and would be ideal for us. I’ll definitely have Julie as our sitter again and have no hesitation in recommending her services.”


19. Kate L.
“I cannot recommend Kate highly enough and wouldn't leave my 4 dogs with anyone else. Trustworthy, compassionate & genuinely caring, Kate has taken the time to get to know and understand my dogs, including their quirky likes, dislikes and habits. Kate's reliable, very approachable and has a real, true love for animals. I wouldn't spend a day or a night away from my dogs unless Kate was caring for them and they are always ridiculously excited to see her! Every pet owner needs a 'Kate' in their life!”


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!”
