“Karen looked after my, sometimes anxious, rescue dog for three nights. I was able to relax knowing that he was safe and happy. Karen sent regular updates which were appreciated and Popsie clearly loved her. I always wouldn’t know that she’d been in the house - it was immaculate. Thanks Karen.”


2. Edward P.
“Ed has been looking after my two Alsatians, Brandy and Bailey, for the past year, and I honestly think they love him more than me! Every time he arrives, their excitement is off the charts, which speaks volumes about the care and affection he gives them. Not only does Ed ensure they are well-exercised, well-fed, and happy, but he genuinely loves and understands them. I always have complete peace of mind knowing they are in his hands. If you're looking for someone who will care for your dogs as if they were his own, Ed is the one to trust. I can't recommend him highly enough!”

“My first time ever using a dog sitter! I have 2 Labradors age 10 and 11 and a cocker spaniel pup age 10 weeks! He is pure madness and my 2 labs ain’t really settled with him yet so have to be careful as he likes to annoy them. Georgia was great got back to me straight away to every message. She even come round the day before so I could check she was ok with key box and dogs!! The dogs loved her! She has kept me regularly updated today with pictures and measures! I will definitely ask her to sit for me again! I might even be able to do some over nights now I have found someone I am happy to leave my dogs with!!! X”

“Jordan came to stay at our house to look after our little chihuahua for 2 weeks and he has loved it. Jordan sent me regular updates with pics so I could see he was happy and loving all the attention. We will definitely be using her again as she got on so well with our little man 🐶”

“Marta has been incredible! She has cared for my dog who can be quite a handful, whilst I was away on holiday, she was attentive to his every need, and kept me up to date throughout the day with photos. She was friendly, reliable and super helpful, I’d certainly recommend Marta to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet 😊”


9. Laura P.
About: I absolutely love cats.I get compared to cats very regularly.I have my own called Kitcat ( yes I landed on this name when i was 7 ) as well as taking care off up to five cats at a time often. I’m currently in University so i am able to do regular visits through the the day as well as fully available on the weekends. i’m very much a morning person so very happy to do morning visits before my day starts. There is nothing more important to me then the safety off animals.I will require a full explanation off any habits and care that the pets may need extra care on.


10. Adele H.

“Adele was really professional and accommodating. Our vizsla puppy is full of energy and was very happy and tired after a morning of adventures. Adele respected the house and instructions we left. Would highly recommend to anyone after dog sitting and walking. Thank you !”


11. Faye O.
“I have known Faye since she was a child and she has always been an animal lover however she seems to have a particular affinity with dogs. My own dog, a boisterous springer spaniel, absolutely adores her. Faye often looks after dogs for neighbours and I would have no hesitation in asking her to walk and/or look after mine should it become necessary. Faye is extremely responsible and very quick witted with the ability to think on her feet. She is honest, friendly and kind and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker or pet sitter. Regards Tracy Robinson”


12. Karen S.

“Couldn’t have asked for better for our English Bulldog Percy. Having rescued our dog in March, we were a bit anxious about leaving him for the first time. Karen’s partner Steve took the time to come and meet Percy beforehand which we really appreciated. Steve brought along copies of his dog caring certificates and insurance - & we could tell Percy was incredibly comfortable straight away. Steve stayed over to make sure Percy had his routine and we really loved the regular updates and pictures of him on walks! 😄 We could tell Steve was experienced looking after a range of breeds and did everything to keep Percy comfortable and happy. Thanks again Steve & Karen - you made our couple of nights away stress free! Will definitely book with Steve again. Very highly recommended from us! Ryan and Megan”


13. Emily G.
“Emily has been nothing but fantastic and loving with my pup Alonso. Alonso loves their walks, and stops for puppacinos. As Alonso has a sensitive stomach, Emily is extremely considerate of this and ensures not to stick to a meal plan and routine with him. Thank you Emily! I'd highly recommend you to anyone!”

17. Scarlett W.
About: I've had numerous pets since before I could remember my mum has a habit of taking in strays. From dogs to rabbits, guinea pigs, lizards, snakes,ferrets,fish, mice and even our 98 year old tortoise. I'm pretty good at training puppies and I can do senior care as we had our rottweiler til she was 14 and I helped out loads. I am very nurturing as I have been a carer for my mum and sister and for my nan as well before she passed. I am a carer for my mum but happy to pet sit as long as I can keep in contact with my mum and make sure she's okay. I have a pretty flexible schedule but would appreciate notice of changes. I will always keep an eye on your pet making sure they have food and water and are let out to go to the bathroom enough and also make sure they have a bit of playtime as well and if you have your pets on walking schedules I will assist with that as well.


18. Jemma G.
About: I have had both dogs and cats in my life since I was 8 years old. I wanted to do house sitting as after looking for a pet sitter myself for my fur baby I found that there wasn’t a lot of options until I found this site. I have experience with puppies and kittens right through to elderly pets and I have experience in giving medication. I’m that person who stops and smiles and says hello to every dog I meet, they just make me happy. I understand how anxious people can get at the thought of leaving their fur babies, that is why I will look after your fur baby like they was my own in their own home so they are in their own environment and it makes them being away from you that little bit easier. I will give daily updates why you are away and I will follow their routine regarding walks, feeding, where they sleep etc. I will come and meet yourself and your fur baby beforehand as many times as you wish so we can get used to each other and answer any questions you may have. I am DBS checked. This is my sole job so I am available daily. When I am on house sits I don’t take any other pets on for sits or walks so you can rest assured your fur baby would be my main priority for the time you are away from them. Upon booking I would ask for any rules or routines you have for your fur baby concerning garden breaks, walks, feeding, how long are they able to be left alone for if at all etc.


19. Erin F.
“Could not recommend Erin enough, numerous occasions she has looked after my boy and has looked after him with such kindness and love. He absolutely loves her. I don't really trust people to look after dogs as you hear awful reviews but Erin put my mind at ease making my holiday much more enjoyable and also kept me update with pictures and texts. She is an animal lover and dog mum herself which makes you relax more knowing there in safe hands. Wouldn't trust anyone else to take care of my dog. She's just the best.”


20. Karen H.

“Karen is such a lovely person very trustworthy and so loving around my dogs she’s been amazing sending us photos and videos and keeping us up to-date the dogs were happy when we arrived back. Will definitely use her again in the future I would recommend her 100%”
