1. Aljona R.

“Cats were extremely happy and healthy when we got back. They were good communicators all throughout our trip, answered messages promptly and kept us up to date. We will definitely be using them again!”


2. Melanie P.

“Mel is lovely. Made the time to come for a meet and greet with Seamus before her visit, and I felt at ease right away. Would highly recommend”


3. YIN LING CAROL L.
“Carol has looked after our dog Marley for four weeks this summer, while we were in Australia. On arrival at the start of her stay, she bonded well with Marley and he clearly enjoyed her company too. While we were away, she performed her duties impeccably, both with regard to his needs and the duties we asked her to carry out around the house. She also reported on what she was doing, almost daily, and sent us many delightful pictures of Marley, both at home and while out on walks. Carol is a delightful person who is highly trustworthy, and she certainly exceeded our expectations. When we got home, everything was in perfect order, with nothing out of place. We would happily choose her again and we thoroughly recommend her to anyone who needs to be assured of a first-class sitter.”


4. Helen S.
“Helen is an enthusiastic and loving character, who immediately built a connection with our dog Bruno! Everytime we approach Helen's front door, he excitedly wags his tail, like it's his own home, before boisterously bundling his way in once the door opens And we are assured that this level of happiness remains throughout his stay, due to the continuous stream of pictures that we get sent through on WhatsApp 😂 Thankyou for providing Bruno with a wonderful place to stay, while I am away :)”


5. Charlotte C.

“Charlotte was just as amazing as always! She kept us updated with lots of pictures and lots of information about how our cat was doing. Charlotte is always very reassuring and Arlo loves it when she visits! Thank you again!!”


6. Anna-Lee K.

“We would strongly recommend Anna’s services. Our dog Roo had a blast with Anna, we were given updates that were very thorough, we could see from the photos and tracker what a wonderful playtime had occurred. Anna came to our home initially and made us feel reassured, she instantly bonded with our Roo, this was lovely to witness. Anna has a wealth of knowledge, experience and it shows as our Roo won’t go with anyone and needs stimulating fun play. Anna is very professional and we look forward to booking Roo next session.”


7. Emily & Leigh M.

“Emily was amazing! She was so kind, caring and understanding. I will definitely be using her again. She even went the extra mile to clean and feed the parrot. She sent me lovely videos making me feel reassured whilst I was away. Thank you for looking after puss puss and arcoo xxx”


8. Alana W.
About: Me and my parents bought a staffy puppy during lockdown in which I helped to train and take care of him and I now walk him regularly and have walked other dogs for friends when they are away, I am really looking to make this my full time job so any help needed please request!!! I’m currently at uni studying wildlife conservation and have a part time job but I would like to either make this a job on the side or my full time work depending on how many clients I have I have offered to dog walk and house sit as I have my own dog and although he does like other dogs he’s very energetic and can be too much but I’m more than happy to drive to you


9. Chloe H.
“Chloe was amazing with my springer spaniel, Boris. Chloe arranged a meet up in advance of the booking, not only to not be a stranger before arriving in his home, but also to spend time with me to best understand how to best care for him and maintain his routine while I was away. Chloe was considerate of my home and left it all clean and tidy for my return. If anything, I think Boris prefers her to me! I would happily recommend Chloe and will definitely consider booking her for future requests.”


10. Jackie S.
“I have known Jackie since we were at school together and she has always loved animals. She regularly looks after my two elderly cats, staying over with them whenever I go away on holiday. She is completely trustworthy and reliable and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to look after your pet.”


11. Taegan W.

“Our cat must have enjoyed Taegan's visits as she was very relaxed when we returned home. Taegan is a friendly, softly spoken person with her own pets. She is efficient, friendly and kept us informed. The area where the cat feeds and her litter tray were clean and tidy. Good job all round”


12. Briony W.

“Fantastic Sitter Was available at short notice and despite it only being one visit came and did a meet and greet with our cats. 5* will use again next time we need a sitter”


13. Niamh M.
“I think Niamh would be perfect for this role as she has experience with a range of animals and they love her. She is a kind and caring individual who is perfect for this role”


14. Nia B.


“I could not recommend Nia anymore. I knew from first meeting that our cat Maisie would be in good hands and indeed she was. She kept us regularly updated and sent us several pics which we loved. We would be very keen to use her again for any further house sitting we need.”


15. Joanna I.
“Jo is a dog lover through and through. She’s really active and loves being outdoors so is more than happy to go on long walks in different places. Jo treats every dog like her own and has so much love to give. She’s trustworthy, honest and there’s no better person to trust with your beloved pet.”


16. Marcos H.
About: As a lifelong animal lover who grew up surrounded by pets, including a Labrador, three cats, and a rabbit, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. After moving out and now moving in together, and after missing having a pet, we now have our own 1 year old Labrador puppy named Marley, where our home is filled with love and playful energy. ❤️ We live just a short drive away from Whitecliff and Poole Park, with the stunning Sandbanks within easy reach, so a beautiful walk is always on the list. The 2 of us enjoy exploring the great outdoors and adventuring new places with Marley by our side and we are eager to share our adventures and companionship with other furry friends. 🐶🐾 Hollie and Marcos ☺️ In our household, routine is key - especially when it comes to Marley's training and well-being. We both take him for 2 walks a day; which are in the morning and the evening. Beyond walks, we dedicate time daily to build Marley's skills and training through the Woofs app, which has made him a very well-behaved pup. 🐶 As both me and my boyfriend work from home, in the moments between work tasks, we take every opportunity to sit with Marley and enjoy his company, and also this makes sure that he is not left alone for long periods of time. ❤️ Our home is very dog friendly, and nothing is in reach that can cause any harm - even for the most mischievous pets. We have small cameras that point to where Marley’s crate is and for the open plan living room/kitchen so we can watch him through the night or when we are not home/in another room to ensure his safety. 📸 Marley is crate trained and very well behaved so he has learnt how to be separated from us and behave well when he is in there. We are more than happy to use his crate for your pet when boarding or through the day if needed as well! ❤️


17. Kamilla G.

“It was such a relief to go on holiday knowing that Kamilla was feeding the cats and giving them lots of love. She is so reliable and I will definitely recommend her.”


18. Sarah C.
“Sarah is a great dog sitter as she is very compassionate about animals. Shes kind, loving, brilliant with animals and puts her animals needs before her own. She has looked after my dog for me for years if had to go away and he is always happy to go there”


19. oihane q.
About: Hiya! We're Jack & Oihane and we're looking forward to spending some time with your littlle or big furry friend. We have always been surrounded by dogs and other pets. Oihane had a cat for many years and took care of many people's dogs on her travels while working for accommodation, from puppies to seniors and very active farm dogs. She loves the company of a dog when going on long walks. Jack had a dog for over 15 years and has taken care of other friend's dogs while Macey was there, he is definitely a dog person and would make sure your dog has lots of fun! We have recently lived with two lovely staffies which we do miss and since we can't have our own at the moment thought, why not enjoy some dog company every now and then and help some dog owners out? So drop us a message and let us know how we can help! We both work full time, but we are free on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, so we can take any bookings from Thursday evenings. We like to wake up early and go for a long walk around the coast or forest and we love catching the sunsets at the end of the day. We have a very spacious 3 bedroom terraced house with garden. We are locates close to Poole train station and we have a good size fenced rear garden to offer some outdoor space while we are at home. We live close to many parks and close to the beach, we love spending time outdoors so your dog will also be offered wonderful and exciting walks and a lovely living room to rest on. We would make a lovely space in the lounge for your dog to feel safe and comfortable.

“My highest recommendation. She love and care about pets so much and have her own. I'm 100% confidence and trust my little furry puppy for Iryna.”
