1. Jessica B.

“Bella absolutely loved staying with Jessica. I was updated regularly with photos and felt very comfortable and confident even though this was the first time we had left her with a stranger. We cannot recommend Jessica enough and will definitely be using her again”


2. Natalie R.

“Excellent overall experience, Natalie came round for a pre introduction to get to know the dogs and ask questions regarding the care and requirements of my dogs, she instantly started to get to know the dogs. During the time I was away I received regular photos and updates and I could see my girls were happy and contented, I would highly recommend Natalie and will definitely be using her services again, thank you Natalie.”


3. Zoë D.

“OUTSTANDING! What can we say about Zoe other than she was excellent from start to finish. Our original dog-sitter had to let us down at the last minute and Zoe stepped in at the very last moment like a knight in shining armour! And how fortunate were we (and Brandy, our 2 year old spaniel) to have found her. From our initial 'get to know you' meeting online, a truly excellent and re-assuring welcome, daily updates with photos and videos to a flexible collection time, the service we received from Zoe during Brandy's eight day stay was exemplary. Brandy came back full of energy but a liitle sad at saying goodbye to her two new great canine friends and of course Zoe herself! If you are looking for an excellent dog-sitter, you need look no further than Zoe.”

10. Kim T.

“Kim is absolutely incredible! Such a beautiful woman inside and out, so kind and caring. We’ve nicknamed her ‘Auntie Kim’ for my dog in our house as he honestly had such a lovely time with her. The meet and greet was amazing, she put me so at ease with the way she speaks about the dogs she looks after — nothing was too much trouble, and I trusted her straight away since she was so keen on making sure my dog’s stay was a home from home. He was so relaxed and happy when I went to pick him up, so we know we made the right choice with Kim. Dutch definitely can’t wait for his next visit! Thank you so much 🐾🩷”

12. Chloe C.
“Chloe is very caring towards all animals, due to her nurturing personality she takes all pets on as one of her own, when she looked after my dog she cared for him as an owner would and he came to adore her. She makes a very safe and happy place for pets to be loved in a home away from home.”


13. Toniesha M.
“I have been using Toniesha for dog sitting for approximately 6 months now and I couldn’t be happier with the service she provides. I trust Toniesha to take good care of my dog and of my house I always come back from work to a tidier house and a happy dog. She communicates well throughout the day where required and sends photo updates so you can rest assured your pet is in good hands. Toniesha has provided services such as dog walking, house/dog sitting day and night and has even given my dog his medication when he needed it. Toniesha is a very kind, trustworthy animal loving girl who would be great for any pet sitting job.”


14. Jacqueline H.

“Our lively Springer Spaniel loved his stay with Jacqueline, she made sure he's entertained and has enough stimulation whilst giving him plenty of cuddles. Jacqueline was very flexible with us, and made our one day at Victorious stress free, knowing Conker is being cared and we didn't have to rush back to collect him in the morning. We appreciate her great service and would highly recommend.”


15. Hollie M.
“Hollie looked after my dog Barry who is senior while I was away for work and was great help, easy going and communicated well, would highly recommend!”


16. Dylan B.
“Dylan Botha of Furball Frontiers walks my dogs, Elsa and Axel, while I am out at work, and he cares for them when I am away on holiday. Dylan is professional, caring, experienced and very devoted to my dogs' well-being. I trust him completely with my dogs and the dogs love him to bits! I recommend Dylan and Furball Frontiers wholeheartedly to other pet-owners, as you won't find anyone else who will look after your dogs as well as Dylan does. Thank you, Furball Frontiers!”
