“Valentina was great! Maisie had a great play time with her- she asked all the right questions and clearly knew what she was doing. Thanks so much!!”


2. Laura J.

“Picked up a late notice booking after we had someone cancel, came and gave George a lovely looking walk in the late afternoon sun. Always polite and understanding of us and George's needs.”


3. Elsa M.
“Elsa is intuitive and passionate about dogs, she is very reliable when my dog needs looking after and walking. She has a wide range of knowledge about dogs such as nutrition, health and behaviour. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing dog care.”


4. Haichen H.

“Haichen stayed much longer than 30 minutes and sent me tons of great pictures and videos of Patty. She followed all the instructions I gave her carefully and Patty seemed very happy!”


5. Tess W.
“Tess is a natural with pets! She loves animals of all kinds - dogs, cats, goats, pigs, etc. Tess is incredible in her care for dogs. She treats them with so much TLC, rubbing their bellies all day long, giving them kisses, and taking them on plenty of walks while always making sure they’re safe and well fed. I would trust Tess with my dog any day and you would be lucky to have her as your Rover”


6. Jodie H.

“Jodie looked after our elderly cat, Victor, for a week. She sent regular updates and I feel absolutely confident in her ability to care for him.”


7. Florin N.

“Florin was AMAZING. My cat is very sweet with those he knows, but scared of anyone else and hides. Most sitters just come by and feed him and make sure he has what he needs (which I tell them is fine, it’s what I expect since my cat hides), but Florin took the time to gain his trust. By the end of her time with him, he’d come out and play and even let her pet him. I just know he really appreciated that. I will be hiring Florin again. Thank you, Florin!”


8. Qian Y.

“This was our first time using a cat sitter service and we're very happy with Qian. Our cats were very well looked after and we were provided with updates with lots of photos. Qian will surely be our first choice in the future :)”


9. Marisa N.

“Benji had the best time with Marisa! Marisa’s communication was great and I received plenty of updates throughout Benji’s stay. Will continue to use Marisa to help me out. Benji is in good hands.”


10. Alessia- Bianca M.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds, including Golden Retrievers, French Bulldogs, Greyhounds, and Huskies. I’ve helped an anxious French Bulldog overcome self-harming behaviors through patient training and care and transformed a Golden Retriever with poor recall and leash manners into a well-behaved companion. From house-training puppies to managing breed-specific needs, I’m dedicated to providing personalized, attentive care that helps every dog thrive. My ability to adapt to each dog’s unique challenges sets me apart as a caring and reliable sitter. Im currently working part time as a children’s coach and i am working towards an economics degree. I am mostly free so drop me a message and we can sort something out :) When caring for pets, safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home or a pet owner’s home, I create a calm and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m attentive to their routines, needs, and any specific instructions to make the transition as smooth as possible. I ensure the space is free of hazards, and I’m always watching for signs of stress or discomfort to address them quickly. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just cuddles, I focus on building trust so pets feel loved and cared for in my presence.


11. Katie Sue P.

“Katie Sue did a last minute drop in visit for us and she was great! She sent pictures and texted me with updates; will definitely use her services again :)”


12. Alexandra G.
“Alex is an absolute favorite of our dog Theo. He loves her, so much so that he struggles to contain himself when he hears her voice, which is probably the best recommendation. She has looked after Theo both at our home, and taken him home for a sleepover on a number of occasions (reliable and trusted by us as housesitter - leaves the house in good order - tidy and conscientious). She has looked after Theo both short-term (overnight and weekends), but on one occasion for a fortnight. During the longer stay, she kept us updated with messages, pics, and videos to let us know how he was getting along which was great. It seems that Alex is also really good with cats although we've not used this service - she has a lovely tabby of her own who is used to overnight guests - luckily Roo (the cat) and Theo get along just fine Wholeheartedly recommend Alex as a substitute pet mom.”


13. Toby R.
“Dear Sirs Re Toby Rutland Dix I am Toby's uncle, and believe that Toby is a fine upstanding youth. He is eighteen years old and awaiting his A level results in Law and Finance having taken them at Henley College. Due to family circumstances he has recently become separated from his pet dog Alfie, with whom he was very close. I know that Toby would make a perfect Pet Sitter or Dog Walker, and have no hesitation in recommending him for this position. Your Faithfully Michael Clarke (retired Senior Manager H.J. Heinz. Co. Ltd)”


14. Chun Chin S.
“I am pleased to recommend Chun Chin as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Chun Chin has a natural affinity for animals and consistently demonstrates exceptional care and attention to their needs. Whether it’s providing companionship, ensuring proper feeding, or maintaining a safe environment, Chun Chin goes above and beyond to ensure pets are happy and healthy. With a warm and nurturing approach, I have no doubt that any pet would thrive under Chun Chin’s care.”


15. Natasha M.
“Natasha is incredibly loving and caring towards animals. She is very active in animal advocacy and cares a lot about all things living. As an owner of 3 dogs, she understands the needs of them as pets. She shows them the utmost care and affection. She also has an academic expertise in human dog relations, it being the topic of her undergraduate dissertation. I would highly recommend Natasha as a dog sitter, with all dogs, big and small. I believe she will treat any dog in her care like her own child.”


16. Amy W.
“Amy looked after my dog and I can’t recommend her enough. He really missed her when she was gone! She is punctual and trustworthy. Thank you !”


17. Lauren S.
“Lauren stands out for her passion and compassion. Whether it’s with animals or with young children - she is a primary school teacher - she is caring, loving and responsible. She can be firm when required and has experience of looking after dogs, from energetic puppies to older and more lethargic senior dogs. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Lauren to be a dog sitter.”


18. Mallai S.
“Mallai is an absolute delight. She loves animals so much that I think she would happily spend all of her awake and sleeping time surrounded by them. She takes great care for the pets in her charge, listening closely to any instructions and carrying them out with care. Mallai is also very approachable on a human level and has the most infectious smile.”


19. Caitlin D.
“Caitlin has worked with us for a while now and our dog Sophie loves her and Caitlin is so good with her too. She is really flexible and can do long walks or short on or off lead whatever suits which has been brilliant. Caitlin has been a lfesaver for us when we have busy work days as we know Sophie has had a fun walk and has been really looked after, i would recommend her 100%.”


20. Danielle L.
About: I have taken care of many types of pets since I was younger as well as always having pets of my own, from horses to fish! I am currently not working so available to give your pet my full attention! I also am able to be around to let them out multiple times day or night I have a small patio, but love right next to a forest which is perfect for walks and a large sports field perfect for a play!
