Thomas clearly loves dogs, is relaxed, confident and understood Ziggy perfectly. He took time for a pre-meet and spent time with him at our home, and Ziggy took to him instantly. The stay was perfect and he was wonderfully looked after. We will definitely repeat! Maximum stars!”
“WJ is the best sitter I've ever used! I have been using WJ for the best part of this year and cant thank her enough for how much care and attention she's gives Enzo.

Recommend WJ for any and all of your sitting needs.”

“We’ve been incredibly lucky to have Martha as our dog walker! She is reliable, professional, and truly cares about our dog like he’s her own. Every walk is done with love, attention, and care—and we can always tell how happy and relaxed our pup is afterward. Martha goes above and beyond, whether it’s adjusting to our schedule, sending updates, or giving that extra bit of attention when needed. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our dog is in such good hands. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy, and dedicated dog walker!”
“Alex was amazing with our cat. She was happy to be patient as she’s a nervous girl but she took to her right away! We couldn’t believe how well she did with her. Felt very reassured as Alex gave us daily updates and our home was just as we’d left it too when we came back. Our cat is super calm thanks to the cat music Alex found too - would definitely recommend, thank you so much!”
“This was the second (and third) time Jessica looked after my cats. I was delighted they remembered her - a real testament to the care she gave them the first time. Jessica is helpful, friendly, and I was grateful to receive the updates she sent me. ”
“Gina is a fantastic cat sitter. She was very diligent, easy to communicate with and sent us lots of pictures and videos while we were away which was great for peace of mind. Will definitely be booking her again in the future! ”
“We have booked Lisa on at least four occasions to look after our two cats. She is a very nice lady, treats our cats well and is reliable. Will continue to book Lisa for future visits.”
“Klara came to our home to look after our cat while we were on holiday. We had previously never had anyone look after our cat who we didn’t know, but due to last minute changes we needed someone. Klara sent daily updates with photos and took great care of both our cat and our home, I would definitely book Klara again and would highly recommend! ”
About: I have always been an animal lover since I was young. We have looked after two dogs in our household over the years, along with a rabbit and a goldfish. I have friends and family who all have pets who I have looked after over the years as well with drop in visits and walks. I have done some travelling over the years also and have always loved and given all attention to any animal I come across I am currently part time in a cafe and receive a monthly rota. weekdays are when I am mostly free at the moment and what my calendar shows I would follow the owner's routine as closely as possible to help their pet feel comfortable and settled in their own home. This includes feeding them at their usual times, making sure they always have fresh water, taking them for walks, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention.
“Fern is a great Cat sitter! Our timid cat was easy with her, we had videos and updates throughout.. we were very confident that our Cats got the best care.. would use Fern again without question :)”
About: I've grown up around cats and dogs my whole life. I'm a clean and organised person and have a keen attention to detail. I listen well when it comes to a furry individual's specific needs and my approach is to let them decide how they want to interact with me. I've had experience in cat/dog sitting for neighbors many times, including those with health conditions and advanced age. I currently live with two lovely cats, Tommy and Julie.
About: Hi, I'm Paris! I'm a dedicated and passionate vet student studying in Guildford. I'm a huge lover of all animals, but am especially partial to doggies. I like to work with all different types of dog and strive to keep them engaged and entertained whether on walks or at home. Being a vet student has some perks as I've learnt about animal behaviour and welfare as well as how to properly care for your animal. Growing up I've had a variety of animals from fish and guinea pigs to dogs cats and horses many of which have been rescues, so am confident in my ability to deal with different animals with different temperaments. I understand the importance of routine, exercise and companionship, and I strive to create a safe loving environment for every pet I look after. I am also a qualified dog first aider which reassures you your dog is in safe hands. As part of dog walking services, walks can be from 30 minutes up to an hour and a half dependent on the indivdual dog's needs and as discussed with owner. Off lead walking is dependent on how comfortable the owner is and how developed the dogs recall is, this however will be discussed with the owner. I am also available to do house visits in which I can let out your pooch, feed and provide some company for them. Or pet sit in which I care for them for a prolonged period of time, duties would then be discussed with owner. Whether its feeding, walking, administering medication, or simply offering cuddles I treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: I grew up in a household with cats, which gave me early, hands-on experience in understanding their needs, behaviours, and individual temperaments. Over the years, I have cared for a range of cats with different personalities, so I’m confident in creating a calm, safe, and stimulating environment for them. I currently own a Bengal cat, which means I am very familiar with managing a high-energy, intelligent breed that requires regular engagement, play, and attention, as well as plenty of affection. This has strengthened my ability to maintain routines, provide enrichment, and ensure pets remain happy and well-exercised. In addition, I care for an elderly dog who is blind. This has given me valuable experience in supporting animals with medical conditions and additional needs, including being attentive, patient, and consistent in their care. It has also developed my awareness of safety within the home environment and the importance of maintaining a predictable, secure space for animals. Overall, I am a responsible and attentive pet owner, with strong organisational skills, a good understanding of animal behaviour, and a genuine commitment to ensuring the wellbeing and comfort of pets in my care.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I’ve owned my pug for the past seven years and have experience caring for young pets, including puppies. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding routines, giving medication, and basic training. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, unlimited patience, and caring nature. I’ll always treat your pet with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. 🐶🐱❤️
About: I’m a 22 year old from south India. Currently in Scotland working towards my undergraduate degree in Psychology. Cats have been a passion ever since a young age when I used to sneak in little kittens to my house without my parents’ knowledge. My current kitty is a lovely white rag doll that I may or may not have stolen off the streets. She is lovely little cuddles with the most ‘I’m done with life and everything under the sun’ expression.
About: Calm, reliable drop-in care tailored to your cat’s individual personality and routine. Whether they’re confident and sociable or prefer their own space, I’ll follow their lead and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. Visits can include feeding, fresh water, litter tray care, medication where appropriate, play, enrichment and plenty of fuss — if they want it! As a professional animal care provider and Canine Behaviour Practitioner, I’m experienced in reading animal body language and adapting my approach to the individual.

About: Hi, I’m James. My wife Heather and I love animals and having both grown up living with an array of pets, dogs, cats, birds (ducks&chickens, budgies) Lizards and tortoises. All companions are loved and admired. Why take our word? From our vast experiences, with different kinds of companions and personalities, we can recognise behavioural traits and understand what it is your boy(s) or girl(s) want / need. We had our own girl (Ellie, as seen in the pictures) unfortunately illness took her so we no other animals at home. So your furry friends will have our undivided attention. Heather, is home all day and we have access to a garden. We live less than 20ft from the sea so your furry friends will have the beauty of the sea to enjoy on walks as part of their daily routine when staying. We look forward to be able to look after your beloved family members. Heather is free and at home all week and able to provide the daily care your friend deserves. Daily walk, ATTENTION, food and drink. However, I return from work approximately 6pm (Tuesday-Saturday) when we would then go for an evening walk before dinner and bed. We believe it is important to build trust with your furry friend by joining in with them with the activities they love. The atmosphere within our home is very relaxed. We believe that our furry friends need a strong routine and a loving environment to thrive. We have an array of both physical and mental stimulating toys so they’ll never be bored.
“Absolutely brilliant, so helpful and friendly. Made us and more importantly our dog feel very welcome and sent us updates the entire stay. Will definitely be using Lisa in the future.”
“Rio had a great time with Edward! Edward kept me up to date with photos and took her on a great walk in the countryside which she loves. Would recommend Edward and would book again when in the area 😊”
“Elisa and her family looked after my little Leia so sensitively in a thunderstorm today when she was scared of the loud noise which I appreciated very much. They showed her so much love and consideration and when my train was delayed by an hour Elisa was very accommodating.”
“Nina was brilliant looking after our puppy, Roo. She sent lots of photos during the stay and it was clear that Roo had a lovely time staying with her - I’m not sure she wanted to leave! Highly recommend Nina’s services, she looked after her exactly as we’d asked, took great care with her, and was really easy to communicate with before and during the stay.”
“Lydia provided a wonderful doggy day care service for my 3 year husky Thunder. He had plenty of walks and got the opportunity to walk with other friendly dogs. Lydia was very understanding of Thunders training including his toliet training.”
“We introduced Doris to Wan jeong because the dog carer who has cared for Doris for the first 6 years of her life has moved on. We did a lot of research, looking for a carer who would be kind, responsible and respectful of Doris's needs. Wan jeung is a warm person who clearly loves dogs. She is working hard to develop a happy relationship with Doris and is very keen to understand Doris's daily routines in order for her to feel safe and happy. We feel that we have made the correct choice placing our precious pup with Wan jeung.”
“Thomas was amazing with Falbala. Lovely person who really cares about your pet. He sent us photos and updates throughout the day and Frabala by the end of the day looked very relaxed and comfortable with Thomas. Would book again very soon!”
“Thank you so much to Owen and family for taking such good care of Pippin. Even after just one meet and greet, Pippin was so happy for her booked visit that she ran straight into the house and immediately made herself at home! After the booking she was very relaxed and content. Would 100% book again.”
“Very gentle and kind. Jordane has two very good female doggies which are very well educated and loved. Jordane's house has a large fenced garden. Zeus was very happy with his stay. Would definitely recommend”

About: Hello! I am a caring animal lover with many years of experience looking after friends' and neighbours' dogs in my free time, and my own cats over the years as well. Dogs: I live in Tankerton and am available to take your dog for a big (or short) walk in the neighbourhood / by the seafront or drop in to check in and feed your pup. I also offer doggy day care (just 1 dog at a time, unless the dogs belong to the same family) or an overnight stay if you're away - preferably at your property as me and my partner have a cat (she's ok with calm dogs that don't bark much, but scared of louder dogs). I'm used to looking after small and medium dogs, but if you have a large dog do get in touch as I'm happy to make an exception depending on the breed (eg. I’m comfortable with Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Australian shepherds, Bernese etc). Cats: I have a beautiful Ragdoll x Siberian cross called Morgana, so I'm very experienced with cats. I can do drop in visits to feed & play with your cat, and I can also stay at your place overnight to watch your cat while you're away. If you have any questions, just message me! I have a flexible schedule working from home, so I'm available to walk your dog in the morning/lunchtime/early evening and generally keep company during the day. I live in a 2 bed house and have a fenced garden. In terms of surroundings, I'm 5 min walk from Tankerton beach, where I can take your dog for a lovely seaside walk.
“Cannot recommend Hepzi enough. She’s been really great looking after our young pup for a couple of days. Super friendly, reliable, and receptive and understanding of the needs of a young dog. Asks all the right questions and is so responsive when messaging and I can tell you she has gone above and beyond in their care of our pup. Hepzi, Pippin is missing you already!!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and animals my whole life and have always been a huge animal lover. Over the years I’ve owned and cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and gerbils, so looking after animals has always been a big part of my life. I now have my own dog, Daisy! I have had Daisy since she was a tiny little puppy and she's now 2, so I completely understand how important it is to find someone you trust to look after your pet. I’ll always treat every dog with the same care, patience and affection I’d want someone to give my own. I love getting outdoors for walks and I’m equally happy giving them plenty of playtime, attention and cuddles at home. Daisy is usually by my side and will join me on dog walks and sittings. She’s a very friendly, playful and confident Westie who loves being around both people and other dogs. She’s very sociable and loves making new furry friends! 🐶🐾 I know every dog is different, so I’m always happy to follow their usual routine and take the time to get to know what makes them feel happy and comfortable. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit dog walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting into my day. I’m available during weekdays as well as weekends and can often accommodate different times depending on you and your pet’s routine. I have my own dog, Daisy, so walks and spending time outdoors are already a big part of my everyday life! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their routines and needs, including feeding, walks, any house rules and anything else you’d like me to know. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll always respect your home and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and settled while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how they’re getting on! Daisy will usually be with me, so I’d always want to make sure your dog is happy and comfortable around other dogs first. She’s very friendly and sociable, but I know every dog is different and their safety and comfort will always come first 🐾

About: Hi, I’m Rosalind! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 25+ years of experience caring for dogs, from tiny puppies through to elderly dogs and even giant 65kg Pyrenean Mountain Dogs. I know how difficult it can be leaving your dog with someone else, so my aim is to make their stay feel like a genuine home from home — with plenty of attention, cuddles, walks and reassurance. Because I work from home, your dog will have lots of company and won’t be left alone for long periods. I can adapt my day to suit your dogs usual routine, including walks, meals, playtime and plenty of cuddles and naps! I’m also flexible at weekends and will always aim to keep your dog’s routine as familiar as possible. 🐾 I live in a quiet, non-smoking, child-free home with no resident pets, allowing me to give your dog my full attention. My home is spacious and just a 5-minute walk from the coast, giving us plenty of opportunities for safe, enjoyable walks while also having a calm home environment to return to.

“Katie is always absolutely fantastic while taking care of Bono during my work trips. She regularly shares lovely updates and photos from their walks, and it is clear that Bono thoroughly enjoys her company. Katie is extremely kind and reliable, and I could tell Bono felt comfortable and happy with her from the start. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of him — highly recommended!”

About: I have been a passionate animal lover since I was a kid, but due to my nomadic lifestyle having my own pet is currently not in the cards. But I would love to help you out however I can by taking care of your pet! Plenty of experience with smaller and medium sized dogs I work from home most days, and got a very flexible work schedule. Got time for several walk during the day and can also take the dog on site visits with the right type of dog I got a medium sized garden, and a car for walks further afield. I would be happy to take the dog for a run as well, if fitness is a priority
About: Caring, experienced sitter who treats your pets like family. I follow their routine and support training to keep them happy, relaxed, and loved while you're away. As a freelance video editor working from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I can work from anywhere at any time, which allows me to fully adapt to your pet’s needs. Whether it's popping in for visits, staying overnight, or keeping your furry friend company throughout the day, I can easily adjust my workflow to provide attentive and consistent care, giving you peace of mind while you're away. I’m also quite active, so walking is already part of my daily routine and it’s always better with a four-legged friend by my side. I have experience managing multiple cat-sitting jobs at once and know how to balance my time to ensure each animal gets the attention they deserve. I'm happy to follow your pet's usual schedule and routines to help them feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in your absence. I'm confident caring for pets with different personalities, ages, and needs, whether they require active playtime or a gentle, quiet presence. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in. It’s a meaningful part of my lifestyle and something that brings real joy to my day. Whether I’m staying in your home or welcoming your pet into mine, I aim to provide care that is thoughtful, reliable, and tailored to your pet’s comfort. In a pet owner's home, I always respect your space and privacy, using only what is needed and ensuring everything is kept tidy and clean. I take pride in leaving things better than I found them. I follow all instructions carefully, as they help ensure your pet’s routine stays consistent and everyone has peace of mind. I’m happy to offer overnight stays, whether for a single night or several weeks, and have already done this for a number of cat-sitting clients. When pets stay in my own home, they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I live in a flat, but I provide regular walks and quick pee breaks as needed to make sure they are comfortable and content. Regardless of the setting, I believe pet care is about more than just feeding and walking. I spend real quality time with each pet, whether that is playtime, brushing, or simply being a calm and reassuring presence so they do not feel lonely. I send daily updates with photos or videos depending on your preference and am always happy to go the extra mile. That might include watering plants, taking out bins, collecting post, or even feeding a friendly hedgehog in your garden.
About: I've grown up around cats and dogs my whole life. I'm a clean and organised person and have a keen attention to detail. I listen well when it comes to a furry individual's specific needs and my approach is to let them decide how they want to interact with me. I've had experience in cat/dog sitting for neighbors many times. I've dog sat for a variety of dog breeds. My childhood dogs were all rescues and included Bonnie(Great Pyrenees mix), Roscoe(Chihuahua Boston Terrier mix), and KC who was a complete mystery mix. Later on my family got Scooby(Black Mouth Cur Great Dane mix), and Daisy(Pit Terrier mix). I currently have a flexible schedule during the day 6AM - 10PM (unless overnight stays are required). Let me know what time works best for your cat's meals/medication schedules. I offer a quiet loving home for my own cats, including toys, scratching pads, hiding spots, and plenty of loafing sites for them to choose from. I always try to make time to play with them each day so they stay sharp and healthy. They sleep every night in our bed and eat in the mornings and evenings. When we are away for a day, we use a food dispenser that is set on a timer. I prefer scheduling an initial meet and greet to discuss specific needs and give them a chance to become familiar with me. I am comfortable with administering medication, changing litter, and cleaning any accidents that may happen. I always take note of every special request for the pet/home and make sure to review everything with the pet owner.
About: I have experience caring for all kinds of dogs, from family pets to energetic working breeds, and have looked after dogs with different personalities, ages and needs. I’m confident handling energetic dogs and understand the importance of exercise, mental stimulation, structure and play. I also have hands-on experience caring for and training my own Belgian Malinois, so I’m comfortable with high-drive dogs while still giving every dog individual care and attention. Most importantly, I want every dog in my care to feel happy, safe and well looked after. I’m a dog walker, so my days are already centred around getting out with dogs and planning my schedule around their needs. I’m also passionate about dog training and actively train my own dog for PSA (Protection Sports Association) sport, so learning about dogs and developing my handling skills is a big part of my everyday life. I enjoy keeping dogs active and engaged through walks, play, enrichment and training, while also giving them plenty of time to relax. I take the safety and wellbeing of every dog in my care seriously. I have experience looking after dogs with different breeds, sizes, ages and personalities, including energetic working dogs. I always take time to understand each dog’s routine, temperament and individual needs, and follow their owner’s instructions carefully. I provide a calm, secure and caring environment where dogs can feel comfortable and well looked after.
About: I have two dogs of my own and have looked after my friend’s dogs for long periods. Have trained two dachshund puppies from 8 weeks including crate training. I have even fostered an anxious dachshund, who became much more chilled and relaxed in my presence. I’m currently working from home and am able to look after your dogs whilst in my home, as I have two of my own. I am able to let them out for toilet breaks regularly and play/walk with them on my breaks. I have a high fenced garden and high fenced garden gate. The front door is not left open. Our home is minimalistic and clean with a big basket of toys
About: Hi, I'm Paris! I'm a dedicated and passionate 3rd year vet student studying in Guildford. I'm a huge lover of all animals, but am especially partial to doggies. I like to work with all different types of dog and strive to keep them engaged and entertained whether on walks or at home. Being a vet student has some perks as I've learnt about animal behaviour and welfare as well as how to properly care for your animal. Growing up I've had a variety of animals from fish and guinea pigs to dogs cats and horses many of which have been rescues, so am confident in my ability to deal with different animals with different temperaments. I understand the importance of routine, exercise and companionship, and I strive to create a safe loving environment for every pet I look after. I am also a qualified dog first aider and work as a small animal veterinary hospital so I have hands on experience working with poorly pets and pets with increased needs which reassures you your dog is in safe hands. As part of dog walking services, walks can be from 30 minutes up to an hour and a half dependent on the indivdual dog's needs and as discussed with owner. Off lead walking is dependent on how comfortable the owner is and how developed the dogs recall is, this however will be discussed with the owner. I am also available to do house visits in which I can let out your pooch, feed and provide some company for them. Or pet sit in which I care for them for a prolonged period of time, duties would then be discussed with owner. Whether its feeding, walking, administering medication, or simply offering cuddles I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m currently working part time across the road from my house so am close by so will have plenty of time to play with your pups etc. I will take them on walks and enrich them or just give them a cuddle if they need it. I like to understand what kind of personalities I’m looking after prior to understand how to best care for the animals
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and animals my whole life and have always been a huge animal lover. Over the years I’ve owned and cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and gerbils, so looking after animals has always been a big part of my life. I now have my own dog, Daisy! I have had Daisy since she was a tiny little puppy and she's now 2, so I completely understand how important it is to find someone you trust to look after your pet. I’ll always treat every dog with the same care, patience and affection I’d want someone to give my own. I love getting outdoors for walks and I’m equally happy giving them plenty of playtime, attention and cuddles at home. Daisy is usually by my side and will join me on dog walks and sittings. She’s a very friendly, playful and confident Westie who loves being around both people and other dogs. She’s very sociable and loves making new furry friends! 🐶🐾 I know every dog is different, so I’m always happy to follow their usual routine and take the time to get to know what makes them feel happy and comfortable. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit dog walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting into my day. I’m available during weekdays as well as weekends and can often accommodate different times depending on you and your pet’s routine. I have my own dog, Daisy, so walks and spending time outdoors are already a big part of my everyday life! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their routines and needs, including feeding, walks, any house rules and anything else you’d like me to know. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll always respect your home and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and settled while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how they’re getting on! Daisy will usually be with me, so I’d always want to make sure your dog is happy and comfortable around other dogs first. She’s very friendly and sociable, but I know every dog is different and their safety and comfort will always come first 🐾

About: Hi, I’m Rosalind! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 25+ years of experience caring for dogs, from tiny puppies through to elderly dogs and even giant 65kg Pyrenean Mountain Dogs. I know how difficult it can be leaving your dog with someone else, so my aim is to make their stay feel like a genuine home from home — with plenty of attention, cuddles, walks and reassurance. Because I work from home, your dog will have lots of company and won’t be left alone for long periods. I can adapt my day to suit your dogs usual routine, including walks, meals, playtime and plenty of cuddles and naps! I’m also flexible at weekends and will always aim to keep your dog’s routine as familiar as possible. 🐾 I live in a quiet, non-smoking, child-free home with no resident pets, allowing me to give your dog my full attention.

Is large and safe, they also have a beach a stones throw away. Which they take full advantage of, I would definitely recommend, Thank you both for being so patient and caring.”
“Thomas has been absolutely fantastic! This was the first time our 5 year old Vizsla was away from us, as we were going away for 10 days. Thomas clearly loves dogs, is relaxed, confident and understood Ziggy perfectly. He took time for a pre-meet and spent time with him at our home, and Ziggy took to him instantly. The stay was perfect and he was wonderfully looked after. We will definitely repeat! Maximum stars!”
“Sophie was absolutely fantastic with our greyhound Wes, and it was clear that he loved his time with her and felt safe and comfortable at her home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her as a sitter.”
“Dean was fantastic with my 2 year old German Shorthaired Pointer. Great communication - with updates, photos and videos throughout the stay. I'd definitely recommend Dean as a sitter. I think my dog had a great time and will be using Dean again ☺️”
“We were delighted with Nina and Shep was very happy there. She took him for a long walk in Blean Woods and sent us lots of pics. When we arrived to pick him up they were in the garden together. We would be very happy to leave him there again. Highly recommended.”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Natalia as my dog sitter for my puppy, Latte! She suggested we meet beforehand so she and Latte could get to know each other, and I really appreciated that extra step. From the moment we arrived, Latte absolutely loved her—he was running around, playing, and giving her so much affection. We spent nearly an hour at her home, and I could already tell she had such a gentle, loving nature with him. Natalia did overnight boarding for Latte on short notice during a bank holiday, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. When I picked him up, he was clean, happy, and clearly well looked after. She walked him multiple times throughout the day, which was perfect for my inquisitive little pup, and she sent me regular updates and photos without me even needing to ask. Natalia is truly lovely, and I’m so happy to say I’ll definitely be using her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!”
“Wonderful! Jelena was so accommodating with drop-off/collection times, really helpful. Bodhi had a lovely time, Jelena kept me updated and looked after her so well. Throughly recommend.”
“This is the 3rd time Amanda has looked after Austen and for the longest time so far - 7 days. She is wonderful with him and he seems very happy to be with her. As well as keeping him in his general routine with some adaptions for the heat, she also kept up with his training. This is important for Austen as he is a cockerpoo and very boisterous. She also gave us some really good tips to help with his thieving which is paying dividends. Amanda was really good at communicating with us and was very flexible about the pick up time as our flight home was delayed a couple of times and we were a bit worried. She reassured us that she would be able to watch him until the next morning. In the end we got back that evening. We will have no hesitation asking Amanda to look after Austen again and in recommending her to others.”
“Nicola was really great. Great communication prior and kept me updated with photos of Wolfe having the most chilled out time both on the evening and next morning of boarding. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter”
“Fantastic service from kayleigh and my Luna came home very happy which was a pleasure to hear as she had never stayed with anyone before. I was made to feel welcome and relaxed so thank you for your effort and wonderful service”
“Drop off and collection was easy. Our English Springer Spaniel received plenty of exercise, enjoyed the company of Dexter’s own dog and returned home happily worn out! Will definitely book again in the future”
“Ziggy spent a few nights with Meghan and knowing he was so well taken care of really helped me relax on my holiday. Meghan sent photos, videos and updates on how he was doing in the heatwave. He got on really well with her dog and will definitely be back to visit again. Thoroughly recommend Meghan to anyone anxious about leaving their beloved pet with her. 🥰”
