“Emilee did a fab job looking after our 2 puppies. She spent lots of time playing with them and sent us plenty of photos so we could see what they were upto.”


2. Holly D.
“Holly is our black lab Merlin’s best mate! She has looked after Merlin for us over weekends when we have gone away and can’t take him with us in our own home so he didn’t have to go anywhere else. She fed our two cats at the same time and we had the added bonus of a house sitter. She is such a natural with all our animals, Merlin is so excited to see her and the cats love a snuggle on the sofa with her. She walks Merlin for us, makes sure everybody is fed and sends loads of photo updates. Using Holly means for us we can go away and have complete peace of mind that Merlin and our cats are in very capable and safe hands. I would highly recommend Holly to anybody, she offers a 5+ star service.”

7. Natasha O.
“I cannot recommend Natasha highly enough for her dog walking and house sitting services. I have relied on her numerous times for dog walking while I was at work late, and she has always been incredibly reliable, even on short notice. When I have got home, Henry’s dinner is cut up and his water bowl filled. I have also used Natasha for house sitting during my holidays, and she kept me updated with daily photos of their activities. It was so reassuring to know that my beloved Henry was well cared for and happy while I was away. Natasha truly treats every pet as her own, and I wholeheartedly trust her with my home and my furry friend”

She struck up a bond instantly with them and is so kind, professional and caring. Whenever we were away she would send me photos of the dogs reassuring me that they were having a good time and were in safe hands. I trust her implicitly with both my dogs and my house and cannot recommend her highly enough.”

Her attention to detail and genuine affection for animals make her a reliable choice for any pet parent. Whether it's walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, Ell always tailors her care to meet each pet's unique needs. You can trust Ell to provide a nurturing and responsible environment, giving you peace of mind while you're away. Highly recommended!”


10. Jennie L.
“Jennie is a very kind and caring person. She clearly loves animals and I would not hesitate in having her take special care of our two dogs and two kittens. One of our dogs is shy and anxious around people, but she loves and trusts Jennie. I don’t trust many people with our beloved pets, but I certainly trust Jennie 🥰”


11. Tina F.
About: Ive always been in an animal environment, growing up on a small holding and having dogs as part of the family unit. I've walked lots of dogs as part of my previous role as a carer which involved walking the customers companion. The daily dog walks were a lovely part of the role and gave the customer the reassurance their beloved pet was getting all the daily physical requirements as well as all the love they need. Lots of flexibility . I can usually provide services at short notice l. At home there are two young people 16, 9 but no pets at the current time I have a small front garden suitable for quick wee breaks and I'm close to amazing north Dorset countryside with some fantastic walks. The walks are varied depending on the dogs requirements for exercise.
