“Michelle is a fantastic cat sitter! She took excellent care of my 3 cats. She is an extremely competent and caring person. Michelle kept me updated every step of the way with photos and little stories of my cats which I really appreciated. I can absolutely recommend Michelle and I will most definitely use her again Thanks Michelle you are a star!!😻”
“Looked after my cat Yuki with drop-in visits while I was away. Rizwana was a lifesaver and always gave good updates with pictures. Rizwana played with her too so that she wasn't lonely or as stressed. I will definitely ask Rizwana for her appreciated help again!”
“Atlanta is great, just a drop in visit to feed our cat but so much more than that as she spends time with her giving her the TLC she misses when we aren’t there. Highly recommend and we will definitely ask her again, thankyou Atlanta”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have always been the one in the family who takes care of them. I raised two Labradors—Maisie and Maud, a mum and daughter—and was even there when Maud was born. I’ve recently moved out and don’t live with dogs anymore, which is why I’m here. I miss being around them and want to help people who need a reliable, easygoing sitter or walker. I’m calm, patient, and happy to follow whatever routine works best for your dog. I treat every dog with the same care I’d want for my own. I work full-time, but I’m home on Mondays and Fridays, which makes those days perfect for dog sitting while I work remotely. I’m also free most evenings during the week for walks, and I have good availability on weekends for both walking and sitting. Pet care fits in naturally around my schedule, and I really enjoy having that time with dogs—it doesn’t feel like a chore, it’s something I genuinely look forward to. At the owner’s home, I follow their routine and make sure the dog feels comfortable and cared for. At my secure apartment, I take dogs out regularly for walks and breaks, keeping things calm and safe indoors.
“Perfect! This was Gareth's first time meeting Max in less than perfect circumstances and yet he managed to engage Max fully and I came back to a happy contented cat. When I say cat I mean a rambunctious bouncing kitten and he had managed him beautifully as he did my old and sedentary Garfield can't recommend highly enough”
About: I have had years of experience helping family and friends out with their pets. I would always jump at the chance to look after any dogs & cats if the opportunity was given to me. Weekends, I’m free all day and night to take care of your pets, go for walks, check ins or even over night stays within your homes. I’m currently working full time, however I’m flexible to work within the evenings Monday- Friday to do evening walks or check ins or over night stays. During walks I respect the owners wishes, so I'm happy to keep them on lead if someone isn't confident about them being let off, and if I do let dogs off it's only in an open but secure park / grass area. When taking care of your loving pets, I will always take lots of pictures and videos to give owners daily updates on how they're settling in and what they might have been up to that day - Dogs they've been socialising with, walks they've had and any other updates in general.
“Came home to 2 very happy girls Really pleased with the service from Simone Easy to book and really convenient Will definitely use again and more than happy to recommend her for any caring needs you might have”
“Matthew was absolutely fantastic. He went above and beyond to make sure my pets were happy and cared for. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Matthew, you were truly brilliant.”
“Jonathon has looked after our cat for us whilst we were away, can’t thank him enough as it’s great having somebody you can trust. I am sure pudding will miss him. I can highly recommend Jonathon”
“Had Natasha looking after Buster the dog and Freddie the cat for pop ins over the weekend i would highly recommend her she is punctual and obviously loves animals. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again next time and it is of course a peaceful mind whilst away knowing they are cared for”
“Ahmed took amazing care of my cat. He updated me with videos and ensured she was well cared for. He gave her space when needed. My cat is a very anxious cat but through the videos provided and how I saw her when I came to pick her up, you could tell she was thriving in a good environment. Will 100% ask and trust Ahmed to look after my pets in the future again!”
“Becca was absolutely brilliant! This was the first time we had left our fur-boys at home for a holiday and they were superbly looked after. We had twice daily updates every day which were not only very cute but were also excellent for keeping our anxious minds at rest! 100% recommend ❤️❤️”
