“It's ok they do make mess at times, Teddy had a few markies this morning as I did try and feed them . But, Donald nicked his food, we have been to the vets about his behaviour again and waiting for a specialist. He has gone back to bulling and nicking teddy's food, so we are concerned. And, have been told to separate them when feeding but Ted won't eat when we do that, so we are in a no win situation. Just give him treats if he doesn't eat, if it persists we may have to consider rehousing Donald. Great job,thanks for doing your best.”

“Honor is absolutely wonderful with my dog, Reggie! From the very first meeting, she showed such kindness, patience, and a natural connection with him. Reggie can be a little crazy at first and likes to jump up at people, Honor was patient with him and knew what to do when he was a little too energetic! She’s attentive to his needs, always gentle, and genuinely enjoys spending time with him. It gives me great peace of mind knowing that Reggie is in such loving and capable hands. I couldn’t ask for a better person to care for my pup!”

16. 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. Harry D.
About: Growing up with dogs, cats and other large animals, has given me a lifetime of hands-on experience in caring for animals of all sizes and temperaments. From raising family pets to caring for my own dogs, I’m confident in handling animals with love and patience. I’m experienced in meeting the needs of senior pets and understand the energy and attention puppies require. My diverse background with animals allows me to provide personalised, attentive care for your pets. With a flexible schedule, I can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I attend university on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday mornings, leaving my afternoons, evenings, and other days free for pet sitting and walks. Since I don’t currently work, I have plenty of time to provide dedicated attention and care to pets throughout the week. When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, I focus on maintaining a comfortable and familiar environment for them. I follow the owner’s routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep the pets happy and stress-free. I make sure to provide plenty of attention, regular exercise, and any specific care instructions the owner provides. My goal is to ensure the pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for while their owners are away.

20. Piotr O.
“Hi, I hired Piotr to train my Betsy, a 10-month old female Caucasian Shepherd. As you may know they are very intelligent, independent, yet very stubborn breed of dogs which need proper handling and training. Piotr was very helpful and professional, swiftly answered all my questions and did a great job with Betsy. Now she listens more, and is very obedient even in hard to overcome situations for her such as seeing strangers she doesn’t like or other dogs. Before she just showed aggression towards them and wanted to attack even people she didn’t know. Now she is far more relaxed and controllable. Like I have a new dog…. Thank you so much again Piotr!”
