1. Emma R.
“Emma was fantastic, met a couple of days before I left and got a really nice safe vibe from here. I have two very nervous rescue cats and she respected their space and sent some lovely but non-intrusive photos during visits. Also happy to water my plants. Couldn't recommend Emma more highly! Thank you!”
2. Tatjana K.
“I booked Tatjana with Rover last minute, having recently moved t the area. She came in advance to meet Pitchu with her husband who covers for her when she is unable to attend. They were both very friendly and looked after my old girl well during our 7 days away. I would recommend Tatjana.”

4. Jennifer D.
“Jen has been great. Such a help for me since going back to work. She's got to know both our dogs. 1 being extra lively and a 33kg 8month old puppy. I don't have to worry about them whilst I'm working now. Couldn't recommend her enough. X”
5. Daisy S.
“Daisy has good experience with dogs, from owning them herself to looking after/spending time with other dogs. If needed, I’d feel completely safe in letting Daisy pet sit my own dog, she is so caring and loving when it comes to pets and know she would put my dog at top priority while responsible for her.”
6. Hannah H.
“We were really worried about leaving our kittens for the first time. Hannah made us feel at ease in her visit before we left. Hannah was really good with the girls, even our more nervous kitten pepper. She bought them some springs because she saw how much they loved playing with them. We will definitely be booking her again. She went above and beyond.”
7. Rebecca S.
“Rebecca is a very sweet and caring girl, and loves caring for animals. Not like how everyone likes cute pets, she has a genuine passion for taking care and spending time with animals. I've seen her care for her neighbours pets, her own, and volunteer to take care of her friends pet bunny as well. Definitely a great caretaker”
8. Freya C.
About: I’ve taken care of family dogs my whole life, and i’ve been pet sitting for neighbours and friends within my village for around 8 years now. I’m looking to get back into it while living in a new place! I’m a university student, who has around 1-3 hours of lectures a day but apart from that have a very flexible timetable. As long as informed in advance I will cater to your specific needs on an individual basis, as each pet has different needs and schedules. Whether it’s walk times or feeding.
9. Natalie R.
“Natalie is an excellent and professional pet caregiver. I appreciate her overall attentiveness to my dog and could not be more pleased with how she looks after Luna. I would be happy to recommend her to my family and friends.”
10. Zuzanna S.
“Zuzanna was amazing with our little Peanut! She played with him and gave lots of cuddles. You could tell that Peanut was very comfortable with her and that Zuzanna loves animals. 100% recommend!”
11. Louisa B.
“Louisa is an honest, reliable and caring person. She is a responsible animal lover. She has looked after our dog whilst we were on holiday and he had a lovely time. She has also looked after our other pets whilst we have been away, rabbits and guinea pigs. They were all looked after very well. Louisa followed our instructions very carefully and ensured their welfare at all times. I have no hesitation in recommending Louisa as a pet caregiver.”
12. michelle j.
“Michelle at Strictly Paws has done check ins and walks for my bouncy labrador Bruce. He can be a handful but she takes great care of him and makes sure he gets a good walk. We get update and photos and a very happy dog. With Strictly Paws you can be certain your pets are being taken good care of.”
