“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. Ela E.
About: I have always been blessed with pets back home, but moving here I don’t have any. Would love to share my love by pet sitting. I currently work from home so I have all the time to play with and show love to pets! I love long walks as well! I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment where pets feel like part of the family. I stick to their regular routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications they need.


3. Charlotte C.

“Repeat customer - always very happy with Charlotte. She sends lovely /funny photos of our cat. Very reassuring to know she is checking in on him. Reliable and trustworthy with excellent communication. Thank you :)”


4. 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.”


5. Kerith W.
“Kerith is a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. Would highly recommend. Chimmy is always very relaxed when I collect him having been well loved with cuddles , walks and food. She is my no.1 choice when I need someone to look after him, and I can relax when I'm not with him as I know he's in very caring & capable hands.”


6. 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.”
7. Kayla T.
“Me and my partner used Kayla to cat sit my two babies for a week whilst on holiday. My cats aren’t very fond of new people and can be a little skittish but Kayla was very loving and patient with them and allowed them to get comfortable in their own time and were best buds by the end of the stay. Kayla was very professional and strictly followed the dietary requirements provided. Litter trays were constantly cleaned, babies were played and cuddled with… couldn’t have asked her for anything more. Also got updates on my kitties whilst away which was very reassuring as was worried to leave them with anyone. Would definitely recommend! 🥰”


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. Emilee W.

“We are so glad that we found Emilee to pop in on our cat while we were away 😊 we would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again! She took fantastic care of our 8 year old cat and always kept us up to the date with pictures too, can’t thank you enough. Xx”
10. Vanessa C.
“I would absolutely recommend Vannessa to look after your pet/pets. Over the years, we have been lucky enough to have someone like Vanessa in our lives as she is kind, caring, responsive and most of all our pets over the years have benefited from having her care for them in the best way possible. We trust Vanessa implicitly with not only our pets of which we have had two spaniels, two cats and now one border terrier but also our home which she stays in when we are away to not only provide the best loving care for our border but also to keep him in familiar surroundings. If you would like your pets to be cared for, Vanessa is the best person you will find and we can wholeheartedly recommend her.”


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. Leah W.
About: I’ve looked after various dogs over the last few years. Different ages and temperaments. From fighting to medication to seizures I’ve handled and seen it. I work from home 4 days a week and I am home most weekends. I can pop in for toilets breaks, playing, medication and walks in the day as well as the occasional overnight stays. I have been with dogs that require a lot of attention I.e. a dog with epilepsy who require multiple medication throughout the day and all round care as well as a pup who only wanted to walk for 10 minutes and then sleep the rest of the day. I am used to rules and guidelines as well as dogs and houses where anything goes.


13. Niamh M.
“I would most definitely recommend Niamh as a pet sitter. I had the pleasure of having her care for my cats while I was away, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. Niamh is responsible, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, ensuring I felt completely comfortable with my cats care. My cats were happy and well-cared-for, and I returned to a clean and calm home. I wholeheartedly trust Niamh and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a kind and dependable pet sitter.”


14. Natasha O.
“I cannot recommend Natasha highly enough for her dog walking and house sitting services. I have relied on her numerous times for dog walking while I was at work late, and she has always been incredibly reliable, even on short notice. When I have got home, Henry’s dinner is cut up and his water bowl filled. I have also used Natasha for house sitting during my holidays, and she kept me updated with daily photos of their activities. It was so reassuring to know that my beloved Henry was well cared for and happy while I was away. Natasha truly treats every pet as her own, and I wholeheartedly trust her with my home and my furry friend”


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. Shanice T.
“Shanice has been a trustworthy person to my dogs (& myself) I’ve never seen my dogs tails wag so much till they see her, knowing they will go on the bestest of walks. They return happy & content with the longing eyes of when will she return again. I’ve asked her on many occasion to housesit them, which she has done with the upmost of care & respect for my home plus the constant photos of their movements! Can’t thank her enough, she’s really helped Angus & Dory through their long days!!!! Thanks Shanice 🤗”


17. Sophia W.
“Sophia loves dogs and is brilliant with ours - taking him for more than one walk a day. She also feeds him every evening and absolutely adores our ball of fluff. She will take good care of your dog and shower him/her with affection.”

19. Ellie C.
“Ellie has been a wonderful with my two dogs Archie and Teddy (both working cocker spaniels). As you know these breeds are energetic, however they always come back from Ellie’s care ready for a nap. They truly miss her when they come home and I know they often think about the next time they can play with her.”
