5. Abigail H.

“First time using Abi and Andrew and having arranged a pre-meet, we already felt reassured about them taking care of our boys. Lovely people who truly care for animals and treat them as if they are their own. Our cats had the best care and lots of fuss and play and we'll definitely be booking Abi and Andrew again. Thank you guys.”


6. Cathryn H.

“We’re grateful to Cathryn for helping out with our cats while we were away. Communication was clear, and everything seemed fine when we returned. However, we did notice the visit lasted around 20 minutes rather than the full 30 minutes we had agreed and paid for, which we would have appreciated being respected. Additionally, we weren’t sure if our full feeding instructions were followed, as we couldn’t find any dry food left out, which made us wonder if the cats only received their wet food. We always aim to give honest feedback to help sitters improve, and we hope this helps for future visits.”


7. Claire H.

“Claire was an amazing surrogate mum for my beautiful Evie when I went away. Claire came on time, injected and fed Evie and stayed with her for an hour before removing her food. I was messaged each time Claire came, giving me the times she was here and when she left. Everything was clean and tidy, all the bowls had been washed & the litter trays clean. Claire took pictures of Evie and sent them to me and gave me updates. I would not hesitate to recommend Claire to sit for or care for your pet when you go away. Thank you so much Claire, I am sure I will book you again soon! 🌻”


8. Bradley G.
“Brad has been walking my Cockerpoo Winston for about a year now. He's a sweet dog but a little reactive and nervous. Brad has been great with him, really patient and I think he's made Winston feel more confident. Winston absolutely adores Brad and it's so lovely to see the bond between them. Brad is punctual and the odd time he has been held up, he has always contacted me to keep me informed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services.”

15. Helen B.
“We met Helen as we needed a dog sitter over the weekend. Helen is very professional and had all of the key attributes needed. Leaving our dog with Helen felt like having an extended family member look after the dog. Helen arranged a home visit to ensure we all met and could discuss our needs and what was required. Communication is vital and Helen ensured this contact was maintained, not only pre meeting but during the period we were away. We had regular messages and photos sent. This was such a positive experience and we would have no hesitation in recommending Helen.”

Their needs are always put above her human counterparts, with her regularly stopping to save a broken bird, to move a slug out of the busy path, and to ensure no spiders are ever hurt. Her devotion to her dogs is unmatched and admirable, taking them on twice-daily walks and ensuring they're fed with the best food for their needs. She really does care about everything living and breathing, and enjoys nothing more than dog/ cat cuddles. Extremeley reliable and trustworthy, and will treat any animal like her own!”
