1. Jamie S.

“Thank you so much Jamie, arrived on time and pictures provided which gave us much reassurance that he was being well looked after and loved for whilst we were away for the day. Late notice booking but still came which was very much appreciated. Will not hesitate to book with you again!”


2. Steven L.
“From childhood Steven has always had a great rapport with both people and animals. His own dog Harley, a Labrador/spaniel cross came from an elderly couple who realised they could not provide a suitable lifestyle for such an active animal. On arrival he was extremely timid and shy and was not happy in the company of people and other dogs. Within a year he was transformed into a happy tail wagging dog who mixes reasonably freely and who clearly fully enjoys his daily romps in the local countryside, woods and river. I believe Harley’s original owners have since visited Steven and been delighted to find that what must have been a difficult decision at the time proved to be the correct one.”

“Sarah is caring and fantastic with dogs, she walks for miles enjoying the views and the company. Wouldn’t wish for anyone better to walk my dog”


4. Madison Bridget U.

“Madison was absolutely amazing! After making a request last minute, she was able to come same day to get acquainted and arrangements sorted. All instructions were followed and she took fabulous care of my puppy and home. I always got updates from her and I always came home to a happy puppy. I couldn’t recommend her enough! I will definitely be using her services again. Thank you so much Madison❤️”


5. Egle K.
“Egle was fantastic with my two border collies! We have two extremely active and focused dogs. We had Egle taking care of them number of times during our holidays abroad. She is excellent in following the given instructions ( one of our dogs has epilepsy and needs to be given medication 3 times daily), she is active and interacted with our dogs throughout the day. She was sending little snaps of their day to keep us in a loop, which I really appreciated as I’m one of the really protective dog mums. 😅 I could not find a better sitter could not recommend enough!”


6. Sarah R.
“Sarah was amazing with my cats. She gave them loads of care and attention, did everything how I’d asked and kept in touch with me. Would highly recommend!”

11. Emily H.


“Emily made us feel at ease and worry free when leaving our cats for a few weeks. She updated us on her visits and sent pictures so we could see how they were doing and put our mind at ease.”


12. Emily C.
“Emily, has a gentle loving and caring personality who has always put other people before herself. Loving the outdoors and walks on the weekends. Making friends with anyone she meets. Emily has always grown up with pets in the household being that from Dogs to Chickens. Recently she took 2dogs of the side of the road that had escaped from their home and managed to get them home safely. Her loving personality relates directly to into the animals and has always had a great rapport with any animal she has to look after. Emily has looked after my Dog for many weeks and I couldn’t have more trust in a human being to feed, walk and care for my dog. She makes the perfect candidate for this role.”


13. Kelly G.

“So glad I discovered Kelly. My cat, Barry, and I instantly bonded with her. I got some lovely and amusing updates, with some great photos. I think Barry took a real shine to her & was subsequently quite disappointed to see me walk through the door upon my return. Kelly was happy to stay over her allotted time to make sure Barry had everything he needed. Communication has been great. Really happy with the service provided. I have already rebooked Kelly & have no issues in using her again if required in the future…..I know Barry will be delighted 😀”


14. Jack B.
“From living with Jack and witnessing his care and responsibility towards his own dog, Callie, assures me he'd make an excellent dog sitter. He is highly attentive to Callie and always prioritises her well being. I would highly recommend him for this!”


15. louise a.
“Our Giant loves visiting Louises farm in sheffield, always comes back totally shattered. Highly recommended Confident with large breeds Incredibly caring and soft with him Spoils them rotten.”


16. Lee O.
“We found Lee through a recommendation and could not be more thrilled. We have returned from 2 weeks away, having never had house sitters before. Lee looked our two labradors, we had regular updates. They were highly professional, I mean on time and reliable and even managed to negotiate a significant event with ease, most of us would not have been able to manage through something unexpected like this. The house on our return was spotless and probably cleaner than when we left. We joke one of our labradors is anti-social and might spend the two weeks sitting by the front door but this was not the case and actually feel a little jealous he loved them so much! I currently have two sulking dogs now they have gone but they will be pleased we have booked them for next august”


17. Lou Rose G.
About: Starting early, I did work experience in a kennels and animal sanctuary at school and progressed on to Animal Care college at 16. Since then I've had my own animals from dogs to cats, chickens to rats...and looked after many others from dog walking to overnight stays. A qualified teacher now enjoying a slower pace of life! I'm self employed and work as a Jewellery designer and tutor so I am very flexible. I live in a beautiful area away from too many people and traffic. I'm a huge nature fan so I walk every day with my own dog and would love to have more company of the furry variety to enjoy my strolls! I have a 3 year old Border Collie who we had as a puppy from the dogs trust. We also have two cats, a Gecko and three chickens. We live on a private woodland estate. I work self employed so I'm flexible with timings however early mornings are tricky due to school runs. I generally work in my studio from 11-4 but again, I'm flexible. I have a Collie who you could say is spoilt, however I would say he's loved to bits! I also have two cats, one 14 and one 7 as well as 8 hens and 5 cockerels. Huge animal lover who prefers animals to people! 🤣


18. Lauren A.

“Lauren has been such a find! Having never used pet services before, it’s a bit worrying handing your keys over to a stranger and having them look after your pets. Lauren made me feel at ease from the start. I’ve had photo and text updates on the status of my pet, which has been reassuring. She has also been very accommodating. My life, at present, is a little chaotic and she has been very patient with me, changing dates, last minute requests etc. I’m really delighted with the service she has offered and will definitely use her again in the future.”


19. Tomas K.
“Here’s a review you can use: "I cannot speak highly enough of Tomas Kehl as a dog sitter. They have been looking after our beloved pets for over a decade, and we simply wouldn’t trust anyone else. Our dogs absolutely adore them and always come back from their stay happy and well-cared for. Tom has an incredible ability to connect with animals and provide them with the love and attention they need. Their dedication and expertise are unmatched, and we always return from our holidays feeling completely at ease knowing our furry family members are in such good hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Tom to anyone seeking outstanding dog care and incredible value for money. Andrew Fisher”


20. Charlotte I.

“Very friendly & efficient. Kept me updated with pictures at every drop in session. Barry the cat got a lot of attention and seems very happy. Would definitely use Charlotte again.”
