1. Lia C.

“Having never used a company like this before, we were slightly apprehensive about giving a stranger access to our home and entrusting them to feed our cats, whilst we were on holiday. Those fears were completely unwarranted, as Lia was 100% reliable, trustworthy and clearly has a love of animals. We received updates each day – at the agreed time, which included a summary of tasks completed, along with photos of our cats. When one of our cats wasn’t around one morning, Lia asked for permission to check the garden or other areas of the house, if either of the cats were absent during her visits. When we returned from holiday, our home was absolutely fine and our cats were happy and had clearly been well fed and looked after during our absence. I would recommend Lia to anybody that requires this service and we will definitely use her again in the future.”


2. Jasmine L.

“Jasmine was wonderful! She has great communication, punctuality, and good understanding of the instructions we discussed. We will definitely use her in the future.”


3. Tatiana V.

“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.”


4. Lily S.
“Lily is such a gem and was a brilliant help when caring for my young Labrador, Cooper!! Lily gave me updates throughout her time with Cooper, which allowed me enjoy my day out without any concern about my puppy at home. She is so patient and caring, and her history with personal pets left me with full confidence that Cooper would be in the best care and spoilt while I was away. Couldn’t recommend Lily enough to dog sit and will be using her in the future!!”


5. Sarah C.

“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!”


6. Liliana C.

“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.”


7. Chloe E.

“We recently used Chloe to look after our cats, Penny and Sybil, for the first time, and she did an amazing job! She kept us updated every day with messages and photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that she truly cared for our cats and took wonderful care of them. We’re so happy with the service she provided and will definitely be asking Chloe to look after Penny and Sybil again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!”


8. Deeya R.

“So happy to have Deeya looking after our doggie. She has a very kind nature, really takes interest in understanding the doggie’s needs and the owner’s request. We are looking forward to having her soon. Thank you ?”


9. Dominic F.
“Dominic has looked after my 2 Frenchie’s 3 times now and he’s a great sitter. Keeps in touch daily. The last time we went away on holiday for a week and he would send videos and pictures to make us feel at ease. Would highly recommend.”


10. Natalia O.

“Natalia and her partner were fabulous and very professional while taking care of Samya for 2 weeks. Followed closely all the instructions and provided regular updates & photos. They went above and beyond to make Samya comfortable and less anxious while we were away. Even brought her extra toys, like a laser to keep her entertained and active – that was definitely a hit for Samya judging by the photos and videos. Natalia even offered to water my houseplants, as they were looking rather sad. I would definitely recommend them to take care of any furry friend. Hopefully they will be available the next time when we are away. Keep up the good work, guys!”


11. Sadhbh Caitlinn M.
“Sadhbh has been looking after our four dogs for many years - doing home visits and in-house pet sitting when required. She is very capable and has a real love for dogs and I never have to worry when I know she is looking after them. She has looked after our very senior dog, right through to our two very big dogs and is knowledgeable and sensible. One of our dogs can be reactive on walks, and she always manages these situations really well. We have had one occasion when one of the dogs wasn't well and she also dealt with this very professionally, bringing him to the vet after discussing with us and keeping us updated. I would fully recommend her.”


12. Yevheniia H.
“Yevheniia took wonderful care of my small dog for a few days while we were on vacation. Right from the start, Yevheniia was very caring and made sure my pup had everything she needed. She kept us constantly updated while we were away, and our pup was incredibly well looked after. Thank you so much for looking after our pup! Would highly recommend.”

14. Júlia V.
“We would like to share our admiration for the incredible professional that Júlia V is. We had the privilege of entrusting her with the care of our three dogs – a Serra da Estrela and two Alentejo Mastiffs – and we couldn’t be more satisfied. Júlia not only walked them with dedication and affection but also brought joy and companionship to our furry friends. Moreover, her background as a newly graduated veterinarian stood out in every interaction, as she always offered valuable advice on treatments and behaviors. Her combination of experience as a pet sitter and technical knowledge gave us peace of mind and confidence. Whether caring for dogs or cats, Júlia is an exemplary professional and a fantastic person. We recommend her without hesitation!”


15. Mehalah R.
“Mehalah is a very friendly, kind and responsible lady. She has often looked after my dogs and seeing how much they adore her is a testament to her loving care. I would highly recommend her to care for your beloved pets.”


16. Isabella N.
“Isabella is the best dog mum and overall pet lover. Since the day she got her dog Ottie she has been doting on her. It's clear to see that the highlight of Isabella's day is taking Ottie on long walks, playing with her, or snuggling up together. She is a disciplined but very loving pet owner and she's also great with animals in general. She adores my cats and has taken the best care of them when I was away. I have also seen her do some pet sitting of other dogs before and she really tries to give them the best experience. I would not hesitate to leave my furry babies in her care!”
