“Wing was reliable and communicated really well every day she came in to visit our cat. Spent plenty of time with our very shy cat and he liked playing with her. Wing did everything as requested for visiting times, feeding and clearing up. Wouldn’t hesitate to book Wing again, thanks Wing!”
“Lily and Dom are lovely. They were both so loving and warm with Harley and Alfie. They are clearly experienced pet sitters and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.”

“It was the 1st time I had used Tatiana to drop in on my nervous cat. She came round a few days beforehand to meet and discuss meds and any other special needs for honey. Tatiana was reliable and took great care wirh regular updates whilst I was away. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others.”
“Thank you Dominic for taking care of my cat Shroomi. Shroomi is very shy but very sweet and it was amazing seeing how you build a relationship with him during this week. Thank you for making Shroomi feeling good during our absence and for the daily updates and photos. Many thanks”
“Chloe was such a great cat sitter. My cat loved her visits where she spent quality time with him, and she was very communicative with me which made being away so much easier. Having someone trustworthy and so so good with animals was a huge peace of mind. I would highly recommend Chloe!”
“Liliana took such good care of our 2 cats while we were on holiday, sending lots of photo updates and even helping us when our roof had a leak! Our 2 boys were very happy and well looked after when we came home. Will be using Liliana's services again.”
About: I have taken care of many types of pets over the years including different size and breeds of dogs, cats and also used to have smaller pets in our family home while growing up. Taking care of pets is currently my full time role that I have been doing for a few months after doing it part time for some years. I am used to looking after different sized pets & hope I can be of help to you. I have a fenced garden and small dog bed already in my home and I often care for my sister and dads dogs who may also be around sometimes so keep your fury friend company !
“Sarah did a great job at checking in on Basil, ensuring he was fed and given plenty of playtime and attention which was shown through lots of updates that kept our minds at ease. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
“Friendly and attentive would book again 🙂”
“We had Naomi watch our cat Miette while we were away, and are very happy with her care! Miette is quite apprehensive towards strangers but eventually warmed up to Naomi thanks to her kindness and patience. She was great with providing regular updates during her stay as well. We returned to an extremely happy kitty and a tidy house! We definitely plan to book Naomi again in the future and could not recommend her enough. :)”
“Florina is amazing! She came to housesit our kitten for the week and we couldn't have hoped for better, we're really grateful to have found someone for if we ever need to go away again. Florina kept in contact with us the whole time, sending gorgeous messages, videos and pictures. We could see they had made friends straight away and that Suki was really happy with her, which immediately put our minds at ease. Florina took excellent care of the house too, doing extras like cleaning and watering plants. Florina is a lovely, friendly person who has a great sense of humour, she's also very caring and responsible so I would recommend to her anyone!”
About: We had a family dog since I was 10! Always loved them, caring for them and giving them the best life! Looking forward to meeting your pup and giving them lots of love :) I work from home so could potentially sit and take for lunchtime walks and wee breaks throughout the day. Happy to chat through whatever works best for your pup :) I live in a house with a small, enclosed garden that my dog is very happy in. I also live around the corner from a small park and 10 minute walk from a large park where me and tadhg spend a lot of time!
“Ed has looked after my cat a few times and has always done a fantastic job, I thoroughly recommend!”
About: I hold an Extended Diploma in Animal Management, which has provided me with comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the pet care industry. Currently, I work in the dog care industry, where I have received training in canine behaviour and body language - skills that are essential for ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the animals in my care. I have experience caring for a diverse range of animals, including dogs, cats, small mammals, and reptiles, each with unique needs. My experience includes following structured routines for puppies as well as providing medication and additional support for senior dogs requiring extra attention. I’m currently working full time but would love to spend my free time playing with your pets! I work shift work so available a lot during the morning, evening and a lot of time during the week when most people are at work! When caring for a pet in your home, I would prefer to have instructions to follow with their routine, quirks and any extra info I may need about your home. I am very respectful and like to leave the house as I find it.
“Thank you Ching for providing excellent care for our cat Snow Blue during our weekend away. The boarding services were first class, with clean facilities and caring atmosphere. I really appreciated the communication and updates on how Snow Blue was doing. Would 100% recommend and will be booking cat boarding with Ching again when we go for our next holiday. All the best!”
About: I always had a soft spot a soft spot for pets. Used to sit for a few lovely cats and I'd always try to learn their behaviour and personalities to earn their trust before pushing myself into their space. I would always constantly have them in the back of my mind throughout the day and tend to their needs. I work 5 days a week but always home before 5pm everyday. Unfortunately, I won't be available during the day but I never have anything on during the evening from 5pm onwards. I live in a 1 bed flat without a garden. Indoor cats won't find this an issue. There are no loud noises during the day aside from the occasional faint footsteps from residents upstairs.
“Neda was very friendly and understanding :)”
About: I inspire to be a pet sitter as i always grew up to love animals and i have always felt a special connection to them aswell, whether if its just taking out my neighbours dog for a walk or feed my friends cats. i feel like pet sitting isn't just doing that but also bonding with them is the most important if you are in their personal space To create a comforting environment. Personally i own 4 cats and they are like my children to me, as hectic as it gets having them in my flat especially where i currently do not work they love being by my side 20/7 and love it especially exploring outdoors with me. Pet sitting means doing something i love whilst influencing and having a positive impact on the fur babies especially the ones that are in need of more attention and support When they need . Helping pets can easily be part of my routine as i am currently not working and as i am taking care of my pets and my neighbours and as i enjoy it why dont i do it for an actual job during the week I where im not only passionate about it but i also want to help As many animals feel comfortable at home even without their owners being there. Providing a save and comfortable environment for all pets in their own homes when their owners are not there is so important as it makes it easier for everybody every time you travel i offer pet sitting, animal walking, animal feeding and watering, cage cleaning . Any additional services that i do offer is also medicine administration and crate cleaning.

Chaiwat V.
“I cannot recommend Chai enough for anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable cat sitter. It was clear that he has an in-depth understanding of feline behavior and a deep love for cats. He took the time to get to know my cat, Kiki, and was incredibly attentive to her specific needs and quirks. Not only did he provide excellent care by keeping my cat’s routine consistent, but he also went above and beyond in noticing small details—like her favorite hiding spots and how she prefers to be petted—that made all the difference in helping my cat feel comfortable and safe. Throughout my time away, Chai also kept me updated with regular check-ins, sharing pictures and updates that reassured me that my cat was in the best hands. It’s clear that Chai has a true passion for animals and a wealth of experience in understanding them. I returned home to a happy, healthy cat, and I will definitely be reaching out to Chai for any future pet sitting needs :)”
