“Thank you so much for looking after Rosie and Ethel, if it wasn’t for you we would have had to cut our holiday short as the minder we had left our dogs with had left them all day and last minute I contacted Christia while away and explained the situation and she took over and sent us pictures and videos and the house was lovely and clean and even washed bedding and towels which she didn’t have to do. I would recommend her to everyone now and definitely be in touch soon. Thank you so much x”

“Kirsty was amazing looking after our 13 year old labrador Ripley. She provided updates throughout her stay and sent photos/videos of Ripley having a lovely time. The house was clean and tidy when we came home - tidier than we left it! We will definitely use Kirsty again in the future. Thank you again!”


5. Ashlie R.

“Ashlie looked after our baby Barney for 3 nights. It was the first time we have ever used a cat sitter service and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. We met her before we left and she really put our mind at ease. We got regular updates from her over the weekend and Barney seemed to be really happy and settled with her. We would highly recommend Ashlie to look after your pets and home!!”

8. Holly H.
About: I have always had a love for dogs and volunteered as a puppy trainer for over a year in 2021. I unfortunately do not have the time to commit to dog training but have a lot of useful skills. Harrison has also had dogs in his family his whole life and we both love getting outdoors and being joined by a four legged companion! I work full-time and so does Harrison. We both can work from home but only a few days of the week. Therefore we do have flexible availability on weekends and are more than happy to accommodate where we possibly can, please feel free to drop a message. We are both animal lovers and have a safe, clean and secure home with a garden for your beloved pets. We are happy to meet any needs/requirements and make your dog feel part of our family during the stay.

12. Bethany J.
About: I work at a doggy daycare & have done for 2+ years. I have looked after many different breeds & sized dogs from puppies to elderly. I have 4 dogs of my own at home. I have done many dog walks (on & off lead). I have pet first aid & am fully licensed I work Monday,Wednesday,Thursday& Friday 7.30-1.00pm. I have most afternoons/evenings free & don’t work weekends. Which means I am available for overnight care & my availability can be quite flexible I would be sitting pets within their own homes. I would keep them safe by watching them throughout their everyday activities, crating (if dog is crated) during times they may be on their own or at risk of eating/chewing anything that may harm them. Watching the dog on walks & ensuring that I follow guidance/details passed to myself by owners (if the dog is on or off lead, reactive etc)
