4. Alex H.
“Alex was a super sitter for Caesar… not only did he throw himself into Caesars care, but he really made sure Caesar had plenty of enrichment experiences during his stay. His videos and photos were also a great way to see how happy Caesar was. Then when I had a horrendous train journey home Alex stayed longer than the booking to help care for Caesar. What a great find.”
5. Hui-Ying L.
“Hui-Ying house sitted for a week whilst we went on holiday, looking after our house and dog. We were initially anxious about leaving our dog until we met with Hui-Ying, who clearly loves animals. Whilst we were away we were kept us up to date throughout with pictures and messages which meant we were able to relax whilst being away. The house was also very well looked after and very clean when we returned. If you get the opportunity to book Hui-Ying you are very lucky!”

She was intouch with me giving me regular updates and photos which really made my time away special knowing my Marla was totally happy ?. I returned home to my smiling staffy, 1 very happy mumma!

16. Partick C.
About: I have always been around dogs, my step mum is a breeder so I've learnt alot from her. I heard about this site from my cousin as he is member so thought I'd sign up and try it out. I'm currently studying carpentry and joinery at Plymouth City College. It's only a part time course so I have the rest of the week free to commit to sitting or walking. I have a good back yard with high wall and a double front door. I am very close to home park so its a great spot for walks.
17. Millie S.
“Millie has been an animal lover (particularly dogs) since she was small. She is really great with her own dog & has also, on a number of occasions, looked after & walked dogs for friends - she was always responsible & caring when looking after pets for friends.”
18. Jacob L.
“Jake is a reliable friendly kind boy. He loves animals and has walked and cared for my dog in the past. He is very responsible.”
19. Adam Y.
“Adam has cared for my border collie mix, Priya, several times whenever I’m away. He communicates clearly and follows my instructions perfectly. I can tell my pup really enjoys her time with him and Priya is always worn out when the walk is over so I know she gets good exercise. I would recommend Adam as a dog sitter or walker to any of my family and friends.”
20. Aimee H.
“Aimee is a great dog sitter/ dog walker. When I have been away for work she has taken care of my dog, made sure he was well fed, played with him and took him on walks. On the walks she helped my dog with basic training and made sure that he was happy and safe. She is a very reliable and trustworthy person, my dog absolutely loves her!”
