“Jamie and his partner have been absolutely amazing in looking after my energetic puppy Monty for the last three days. My house is spotless and Monty is clearly in love with them both. It really put my mind at ease to know he was being so well cared for.”
2. Tim S.
“We had the pleasure of having Tim come over to look after our puppy, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience! From the moment he arrived, Tim was incredibly friendly and approachable. He took the time to listen to all the information we shared about our puppy's routine and needs, which immediately put us at ease. Throughout the day, Tim kept in touch with us, providing regular updates and photos that reassured us our furry friend was in great hands. It was clear he genuinely cared about our puppy's well-being, and his attentiveness made a significant difference in our peace of mind while we weren’t there. . We highly recommend Tim to anyone in need of a pet sitter. His professionalism and warmth truly made the day enjoyable for both us and our little one. We will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future if he is happy to come back.”

“We are so grateful to Emily for looking after our puppy Indi for a whole weekend. Not an easy job as Indi like many puppies is full of energy. It enabled us to have a much needed break and as Emily also did some training with Indi whilst we were away, she presently appears to be better behaved”

5. Elise G.
About: Since I was young we've had pets in the home, from rabbits to dogs, I've been around them all and have loved every one of them. From my teen years I have helped look after family pets and the pets of my friends. In university I had my own furbabies who were extremely playful, cuddly cats that, literally bounced off the walls at times. I've recently moved to the area and i work very closely with Jamie S. (another sitter on this app) and can offer 24/7 care for all kinds of beloved pets, as I am not currently working, so your furbaby will have constant companionship whilst you are away, with guaranteed daily updates. I am currently not working so I can offer around the clock care for fur babies. I can assure 24/7 company for pets and as an animal lover I can guarantee that cuddles and playtime will be plentiful. With every animal I prioritise their health and happiness. I ensure to follow any and all instructions given by the pets owner to ensure their safety. The comfort of the animal is number one, so I will always ensure they feel safe with me in any situation.

About: Hii, my name is Maria, I am 19 years old, I live with my parents and my little sister in house I have one dog which is called Maggie she is 6 years old, she is white and brown and a small dog. she is a lovely dog, love kids and being around people. She is a playful dog. I am student and I am available to take care of dogs 24/7 as I am studying at home. I can take care on the weekends too with my boyfriend as he loves dogs too. I am confident with dogs as I have taken cared of my family’s dogs to feed and walk them. I am available to give your dog a shower as I have experience look e. I like to make sure their owner feel confident of leaving their child with some else. I would be very happy of taking care of the new members and make company for my little dog too. I really like walking, so it will make my walk funnier and enjoyable as I will have their company and won’t go by myself. I really like to take my dog for a little playground, as they can relief their energy by playing with each other and have a fresh air. It makes my day much better. If they are happy I am happy. I love demonstrating my consideration and admiration for them by giving them my attention. To make our loved ones to keep a routine, i need you to send me all their information to make it easier when they are staying with me. I have experienced taking care of my family’s dog, they have relied on me to walk and feed them. So bringing their food, toys and bed if you have one will help increase comfort at my house. I will always share photos and keep in contact with their owners. Thank you for trusting on me, Maria. 💕 I’m currently studying at home so I have plenty of time to take care of our pets and take them for a walk to have a fresh air and do some exercise with myself. We live in a unfenced house which there is a big garden, we got a barrier for our dogs which it help a lot our control with the dogs. Out neighbour is lovely, they have a dog as well so sometimes my dog goes to see their dog and play with their dog too.
7. Aaron G.
“Aaron looked after my dog whilst I was on holiday in the summer of 2024. Aaron was responsible and cared for my dog Bella to a high standard, while showing her loads of love and care. Aaron maintained communication throughout my time away and was proactive in making sure Bella’s needs were met. I would definitely recommend Aaron to watch the dogs of my friends and families.”

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.

10. Karolina P.
“I have been very impressed with Karolina’s professionalism and also her clear passion for dogs. She took to my 3 straight away as they did her. On the day, poor Karolina had a few challenges to deal with and she was brilliant. Massively put my mind at ease considering I couldn’t get back to her to help. I highly recommend Karolina.”
11. Clare F.
“Clare and Sue did a wonderful job; we are very pleased with them. They provided daily reports, including pictures and detailed messages, and played a lot with our dog, treating her like one of their own. Chica was very happy with them. They took her to the beach, parks, and other places for walks. We wholeheartedly recommend them to pet sit your pet (100% without a doubt!).”

15. Lily L.
“Lily looked after my 10 month old cocker spaniel for a week and I can highly recommend her. She treated Nellie like she was her own and ensured she had plenty of cuddles and treats, plus some lovely walks in the gorgeous area she lives in. She kept me regularly updated with lots of photos which kept me at ease as this is first time I have been away from my puppy for a longer period. She has a lovely room in her home especially for the dogs with sofas and blankets to keep them cosy and doors leading out to her beautiful garden for the dogs to have a good run around. I will definitely be using Lily again for dog sitting duties, thank you so much!”

“Kelly stayed overnight while we attended my daughter’s wedding, I was really scared letting a stranger stay overnight but after meeting her ,Kelly was lovely and we had no hesitation letting her stay in our home overnight to look after my fur babies. She kept us updated how to dogs were and it put me at ease, When we arrived home our dogs where happy and content like they had fun while we were away. I would recommend kelly to anyone and would definitely use her again.”
20. Jane B.
“Jane and Lee spent the week at our home with our 4.5 month old dog and our 4 chickens. For us it was the perfect scenario and it worked out great. Jane kept us updated throughout with messages and pictures which was really reassuring for us leaving them for the first time. They are extremely clean and tidy and left the house as clean (if not cleaner!) than we left it. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to house sit, animal sit or both.”
