1. Kirsty F.

“We were away for the weekend and needed somewhere for Reggie to stay. I contacted Kirsty and within half an hour she had arranged a little visit for Reggie the following week. He made himself at home for the half an hour he was there. While we were in London we had updates everyday of how he was doing and where they had been. The photos and videos we were sent really helped as it’s not very often we are away somewhere without him. We honestly could not recommend Kirsty enough for anyone needing there dog looked after, we have already rebooked him in for October and now wouldn’t leave him with anyone else. Thank you so much for looking after him.”


2. Lindsey Q.

“Both Lilly and Bear had a great time staying with Lindsey. We received updates by photo throughout their stay that showed they were having a great time. Thank you for looking after Lilly and Bear so well.”


3. Zoe S.

“Zoe is fantastic, very kind and patient and helped us out at short notice. Ozzy loved her from the moment he met her and Zoe put our minds at rest that Oz was being well looked after while we were away dealing with a family emergency. I can't thank Zoe enough!”


4. Rosalind & Charles W.
“This was the first time we've used dogsitters for our 9 year old collie. We liked the reviews that had been posted about Ros and Charles, and when we met them we were very comfortable that our dog would be in excellent hands when we went away. We were not disappointed, and, if our dog could talk, I'm sure he would say the same. We'll certainly be using them again sometime.”


5. Yuen Sham W.

“Absolutely brilliant !! Really sweet and caring personality and Mochi my Maltipoo enjoy the stay with her family. Mochi gets lots tummy rubs and cuddles from her girls too which Mochi absolutely loves. I also get lots pictures of Mochi everyday from her.”


6. Rachel G.

“Rachel was absolutely fantastic! Our boy Pablo was well cared for and loved his stay with rachel Mabel and family. He spent 4 nights whilst we were away and Rachel kept me updated throughout each day with pictures and messages she really put our minds at ease about leaving him. I couldn't recommend her enough ! X”


7. Hayley L.

“Hayley is fabulous . She’s a real dog lover and a lovely warm, friendly person an and very accommodating and responsive on the app. She met us beforehand to meet Fergie and then fora trial walk. He had a brilliant day with Hayley and we got very regular updates - texts / photos. We have a young rescue working cocker spaniel who is a bit hyper and anxious when first staying in new places and Hayley was so patient. I’d highly recommend Hayley.”


8. Abby D.


“Abby recently looked after our dog for a week while we were on holiday and she had so much fun! She played with Cookie and was taken care of as if she was a member of the family. We loved receiving our daily updates on her adventures. I highly recommend Abby and will definitely be asking her to dig sit for us again.”

11. Julie M.

“Brilliant !!! Our 2 dogs loved it and the family made us welcome, we felt very secure that the dogs would get a 5 star treatment . The pictures and video they sent were reassuring and we now have a dog sitter that delivers everything we require”


12. Jake P.

“Jake was an excellent sitter and so kind too. We had to find somewhere for saffy to go whilst my partner was in hospital giving birth. Jake was so good, he listened to instructions, he fed her properly, he was so flexible and he even gave us a gift to congratulate us on the birth of our son. Will definitely be using Jake again. Thanks Jake.”


13. Olena Y.

“Olena and her son gave Fezziwig the best time while we were away for a long weekend 😊. What we liked about Olena is that she was really keen to know what Fezziwig liked right from the beginning. We received some lovely photos and videos regularly and this was so reassuring while we were abroad. Fezziwig was having the best time and this meant we could too. He was able to enjoy playing with his tennis balls on a walk and Olena ensured she gave that priority as she understood that was important to help him settle. In fact Fezziwig settled right away and when we collected him at the end he was calm, happy and had been well loved. We fully recommend Olena as a dog sitter as she really cares for dogs and they are happy around her. Thanks Olena and your family…until the next time. 😊”


14. James D.

“Excellent service. Arlo had a wonderful time staying with James. He had lots of lovely long walks, cuddles and fun. It was great to be kept up to date with regular contact and photos throughout his stay. We came back to a very happy dog. We would greatly recommend James for your dog sitting needs and would definitely book with him again.”


15. Karen P.

“First time I left my 2 dogs in the care of someone else as me and my husband couldn't take them on our travels. Glad that it was Karen who took care of them as she provided updates and lovely photos of what my dogs were doing. I felt completely at ease knowing my babies are in good hands. One of my dogs needs extra care and needs eye drop medicine to be done 3x a day followed by another medicine and Karen was very capable in handling it. Thanks again Karen and till our next boarding.”


16. Tracey D.

“Tracey was great on all levels. Responded to messages quickly and arranged a meet before the sit to make sure it was a good fit for her an us. Ralph was well looked after and would happily go back to stay anytime!”


17. Craig R.

“Craig and family are excellent sitters, lots of updates through the day, my Beagle Nelson had obviously had a ball and is now best friends with dobby the Dachshund.”


18. Eleanor G.

“Elanor was superb with Fyn she has a natural calmness with a sense of fun that Fyn picked up on straight away. He ran straight into her lovely home. Elanor took great care of Fyn followed his diet and sent me regular updates on Fyns adventures her and Mark who Fyn also loved. She is in a great location and Fyn had lots of walks and cuddles and was totally besotted with Elanor. When I went to collect him he was reluctant to come which is a sure sign he had a great time. She has had a massive positive effect on Fyn who, by nature responds better to a woman.”


19. Yuliya P.

“I could not recommend Yuliya and her daughter enough. Fantastic people. Our boy louis is only 6 months old so I was nervous to leave him. I was kept up to date with pictures and text everyday. Will absolutely use again. Thank you.”
