1. Ella S.
“Ella looked after Coco for the first time. She is super friendly, clearly loves dogs and made me feel completely comfortable leaving coco with her at our place. Would use again in a heartbeat!”
2. Hannah A.
“Hannah has been great with my puppy this week, who can get a bit over-excitable and is going through a bitey teething phase at the moment. But Hannah was very understanding and calm with her and was able to settle her down. She was also very quick to respond and I received regular photos throughout, which eased my mind while I was away.”
3. Poppy S.
“Birdie fell in love with Poppy the moment he saw her. She looked after him wonderfully, and played his favourite game for far longer than I have the patience for. I know he is very happy and well looked after with Poppy which makes leaving him far easier.”
4. Fabio C.
“Fabio was fabulous, he looked after my 2 dogs housesitting for 8 days and did a really good job. My dogs were very well looked after and the place was left clean and tidy. I am so grateful to Fabio for the extra special care he gave my senior dog who is not easy to look after and requires a lot of TLC ! i totally recommend Fabio.”
5. Charlie D.
“This is was my first time leaving my little ones properly in someone else's care and though a bit anxious Charlie has managed to put my fears to rest. The all up experience has been lovely, had all my questions answered and got constant updates. Will definitely leave them in his care again.”
6. Patrick P.
“Paddy is a huge animal lover. He's had many dogs of his own and has spent more than half his life as a game ranger caring for animals in the wild. He is fit and fun and has a wealth of knowledge and experience. Your furkids will adore him and you'll be able to rest assured they're in good hands.”
7. Susi W.
“Susi is a literal dream! She was responsive, available in a pinch, was so communicative whilst we were away (and even sent puppy portraits of our happy for), and we were so at peace that our dog was well cared for. Can’t recommend enough - she has a warm and caring soul and you can feel her love for animals shine through to her core. Thanks, Susi!”
8. Negin M.
“Very happy with Negin and her services. She treated my Dog exactly as I would hoped he would have been treated and seemed to get on with Negin very well. Negin was professional and her love for animals is obvious. Would recommend as I am comfortable with Negin looking after my Dog now after previously having reserved thoughts”
9. Georgia H.
“It’s never easy leaving your doggy with someone you’ve never met, but having been let down by a sitter last minute Georgia kindly accepted a request to sit our boy. She’s just so lovely and warm, and patient. I left him knowing he was in good hands. Thank you so much for taking such good care of benji, and for the photo update. Much appreciated. No problems at all recommending Georgia, and will definitely be using for further sits”
10. Eleonora K.
“I was so happy to find Eleonora, and that too she was happy to house sit for us for the week for our boy. It made it so much more comforting for me to know he was in his space and Eleonora was brilliant with her responsiveness, care and sending us updates. She was very diligent- made sure he was taken care of in the same way we do with his meals also. She was super accommodating and reassuring, which made all the difference-I will be booking her again in the future.”
11. Iona M.
“Iona was a super housesitter for us! She looked after our doggy with lots of love and care and he was very happy. Iona is super nice as well, so that's always a bonus 😀”
12. Jessica E.
“Thanks Jessica, you left a very calm and happy dog😃. Really appreciate it as it was a long day. Thank you”

“Abbie looked after our two kittens over the weekend at our house. She was very friendly and provided regular updates and photos. The cats were well looked after and she followed the instructions provided. Would definitely recommend and use Abbie again.”
14. Beth B.
“Beth was great at looking after our Labrador pup - she kept us up to date with how she was doing throughout the day, plus shared lots of photos. I’d definitely recommend Beth to anyone looking for a kind and professional dog sitter 😊”
15. Nick W.
“Thanks so much Nick for taking such great care of Jasper, he had a wonderful time with you!”
16. David G.
“David is very careful with animals, he has a lot of patience and affection, he is a good instructor and has good ideas regarding animal training. David has a great desire and it is to be able to have a dog to care, love, respect and teach. I think he would be a star caregiver.”
17. Natasha C.
“Natasha looked after our cavalier in our house while I was away and the family were at work / school. She is punctual, reliable and very trustworthy. Our dog Nellie adored her. She kept me updated regularly in the day and is really lovely and friendly. Absolutely would recommend and look forward to her looking after Nellie again soon.”
18. Billie H.
“Billie looked after our cavapoo, Luna over Christmas while we were travelling and provided the highest of care. We got regularly video updates and Luna was settled and very comfortable in her surroundings. She's also dropped in to visit her when requested and taken her out for walks. She's quickly built up trust with Luna and we have no hesitation in asking her to care for her when we are unavailable. Billie clearly has a caring nature and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to look after your pet.”
19. Liz C.
“Liz has always been my go to sitter. I know how much she loves animals and always gives them so much care and attention. My dog is always happy to see her!”
20. Brittany H.
