“Amy was great! She kindly came and met us the day before which was great and communication on the day was brilliant. Fig even got a doggie ice cream! Thanks again Amy, will definitely book again”
2. Paul B.
“Paul was kind and thoughtful, and although he was quite new to dog sitting he really took things in his stride despite being outside his comfort zone at times. He was respectful to us as owners and very patient with our dog who can sometimes be a handful. He did an overnight sit in our house and left the place as he found it. Paul was very honest and communicative at all times and really worked hard to ensure he did the best job he possibly good!”
3. Eve G.
“Eve was absolutely fantastic with our highly reactive German Shepherd Bella. We felt at ease straight away and were confident that the sit would go well. Eve sent us regular updates including videos and photos. We cannot recommend Eve enough and will definitely be using her services again.”
4. Charlotte R.
“Charlotte looked after our puppy overnight and kept us updated with how she was getting on. Charlotte had looked after our puppy once before to get to know her and I know how excited our pup was to see her again. We felt totally confident with Charlotte looking after her, and our house which meant we could enjoy our time away without any worry. Thank you again Charlotte 🤍”
5. Helen F.
About: I grew up living with a dog, and previously worked in a dog rehoming centre caring for dogs so I’ve walked a lot of dogs! I have experience with handling, enrichment, play, training, feeding, bathing, grooming, medication and health conditions. I’ve worked with a range of breeds and temperaments from nervous to boisterous, I’m able to read body language and signs they’re wary. I’ve also dog sat and walked friends’ dogs for a number of years and enjoy having a waggy friend to get out and about in nature with! I’m mostly available weekends or overnight. Walking or drop in visits I can fit around my working hours morning and evening, don’t mind getting wet or muddy! I’ll respect your household rules and your pets will be in safe hands, unfortunately I am unable to have a pet stay where I am living

“Kasia was absolutely brilliant with our Pebbles! She was so warm and welcoming and it was clear from the regular updates and photos that Pebbles was very happy and thoroughly spoilt. He would definitely be happy to go again (-:”

About: I’ve grown up round many animals all my life from hamsters to horses!! I’m a proud pet lover! I currently have a beautiful Labrador and a cuddly cat. All very friendly. I have Two beautiful children who are obsessed with animals! They absolutely love pets they will not be assisting me with care but they will be around to give some cuddles under my supervision. I have been looking after friends and family pets now for a while and I would love to sit yours!! They will get lots of attention and plenty of cuddles. I have puppy experience and trained my own Labrador and attend many first aid and puppy training classes. i am a pet lover so i know your pet will be very happy staying with us. i are very flexible on everything and i love going for walks. I currently work for emergency services a few days a week from home so I’m always at home. I have two beautiful children who absolutely adore pets. I like to do long and short walks with our lab so I am used to lots of exercise and playing. I have a range of dog toys and enrichment toys. due to having a lab i am very used to outdoor walks weather its raining or not and it also keeps me active and fit. I have a fully fenced large garden and a large 3 bedroom house. I do allow the animals to have full rein of our home and I do allow the pets on the bed for lots of extra cuddles if the pet would like to. the backdoor is usually always open to the pets can access outside when they would like to

“10/10 from us! Paige absolutely loves dogs! Especially staffy pups🥰 Paige and her partner dog sat at my house for 24h and my house was immaculate and the pup was very comfortable with them and seemed so so happy. Would highly recommend her and her services! Asks all the right questions and even came to visit a few days prior to meet the doggy!🩷”
9. Milah S.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child from chickens to fish, and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for my family and friend’s pets. I have a beautiful, tuxedo domestic shorthair called Moshe. He is playful, energetic and vocal but also cuddly and gentle. I currently work part time as a complex care assistant and a nursery practitioner, leaving plenty of time for walks, cuddles and play with the pups! I am available most weekdays including over night stays. Making sure the pet has a safe, quiet place to retreat from other pets and people if they want to, my cat has a lovely cat tree in the corner of my room and also little cubby holes he loves to hide in. A consistent routine is very important ie. Feeding, walking and play, to help regulate the pet and reduce stress. Building trust, maybe with rewards based training, rewarding them for simple tasks like sitting could improve their trust in me. Following meal plans, considering allergies and remaining calm/ talking softly are also important.

13. Jack M.
“Jack house/dog sat for my senior Beagle during a busy time for me. Jack clearly loves dogs and I would highly recommend Jack for all services.”
14. Xavier P.
About: I’ve lived with and looked after animals my whole life. From cats and dogs to hamsters and reptiles, I enjoy taking care of all kinds of pets and building relationships with them, but especially so doggies! :) I’m a software engineer, so as such I’m free most days as I work on my laptop. With the nature of my work being quite sedentary I make sure to stay active. I live in the downstairs flat of my mothers house, theres access to a big fenced garden with lots of parks, nature and dog friendly cafes nearby in the area. My mother’s pets live upstairs so your furry friend will have my undivided attention!
15. Abigail M.
“Abi is super reliable, our dog loves her and I feel confident that Abi knows what she’s doing and looks after my dog as if it was her own pet. She has now house sat for me a few times and she does walks when me and my wife are away at the same time. Great communicator and has made time for us at short notice, which I really appreciate. Thank you Abi.”
16. Maddie L.

“I had the pleasure of entrusting Sam and her son with our house and animals( Dog and 2 cats)for the duration of our 10 day family holiday in September.I have worked with Sam on various art/ community projects and had observed her instant connection with our 11 month German Shepherd called Delilah.Sam is trustworthy ,resilient and a confident and logical decision maker.She was a wonderful house sitter, our house was cleaner than when we left and there had been no separation anxiety from the pup.She slotted into the routine we had set up and was fully committed to that as her job for the duration.Wecwere able to make the best of our time away,safe in the knowledge that all was well at home. I would highly recommend her services ,and would happily talk to prospective clients. Michelle Wooldridge”
