1. Jamie S.

“Jamie is a lovely, trustworthy guy and his passion for animals shines through him, we left our 11 week old cockapoo pup in his safe hands for 2 visits and she had the best time! He is very understanding and kind. We received many photos, updates and a list of what she’d done during the visit. Thank you Jamie for taking care of our girl :)”


2. Sarah L.

“When I told my little man that Sarah was coming to take him out he showed such happiness and couldn’t wait to go out with her. Which is perfect. I have now returned to a very sleepy boy who has had a great time on his walk and is very tired. Thank you Sarah”


3. 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.”


4. 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!”


5. 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❤️”

10. Olivia F.

She has a really good manner with the dogs and has been reliable and punctual throughout her time with us.”

18. 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 😀”


19. 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! 🤣
