1. Kelly P.

“Repeat booking with Kelly, our girls immediately recognised her 5 months later and settled down quickly with her gentle caring attitude. Daily walks and photos kept me totally reassured that they were fine. We know we can relax as our girls are safe with a loving, gentle carer. Better still we came home to a clean, cared for house. Thanks so much Kelly”


2. Gigi K.

“My two dogs were very happy with Gigi and loved the walks she took them on. They immediately seemed comfortable with her and I felt very confident leaving them in her care. Gigi kept me updated with some lovely photos and videos and the house was just as I left it when I got back from holiday. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gigi to others looking for a dog sitter.”


3. Letitia B.

“Letitia looked after Seth while we were away overnight. She was brilliantly organised and put us at ease very quickly. Seth was very well cared for and she sent us great pictures throughout the stay. Highly recommended and we will definitely be booking Letitia again. Thanks Tish ?”


4. Rowan S.


“Our dogs absolutely loved Rowan, he was really affectionate with our needy dogs and has a very calm energy which settled them straight away. He is also really polite and friendly and was always responsive to our requests and messages. He was on time and very professional, and was also kind enough to accommodate a change in schedule! Thanks Rowan for taking great care of Kappi & Luna! They'd love to have you back next time!”


5. Alice W.

“Alice was fantastic from the start. It was great we could go away knowing our dog was in such good hands. Very prompt with communication and timings. Nola seemed to love her time with Alice and house was left spotless. Thank you again for taking such good care of Nola and our home.”


6. Rachel H.
“Rachel is someone I have known for several years now, having gotten to know her while walking our dogs together in the local park. Rachel is an avid animal lover who I trust to look after my dog, Otis, on occasion knowing that he will be very happy and well cared for. The love, kindness and compassion that she gives her dog, Milo, is the same attention she would give to any other animal or person.”


7. Jason P.

“Jason is professional, great communication, relaxed with Charlie and Athena who definitely appeared to enjoy his company, which just great. Fully trustworthy and we will happily rebook Jason again😊”


8. Chloe W.

“Chloe was great! I received lots of updates and photos during the two days I was away. My two dogs seemed very settled and happy, as did the rabbits and the house was also kept tidy. I will definitely ask her again!”


9. Rosie K.

“Rosie was wonderful with our two little sausage dogs. Our youngest is a nervous boy with separation anxiety but he took to Rosie right away! She was very patient and sweet with them and lovely to have in our home.”


10. Gillian R.

“Gill sat for Skye last week for the first time and she was really communicative and helpful, she offered to come earlier as Skye was a bit unsettled so I didn't want to leave her. She sent me a reassuring update and some pics of their lunchtime walk and Skye seemed calm and happy when I got home. I'd be more than happy for Gill to look after Skye regularly”


11. Scott E.

“Scott sat for us again whilst we had a long trip away (11 nights). Our pups were well looked after and so was our home! We were sent regular updates and photos and the pups seemed to be having the best time, living their best life!! Wouldn’t hesitate to book again and I'm pretty sure our youngest dog would move in with Scott, she is smitten! 💙🩷🐾”


12. Lorna H.

“Lorna was great! Super friendly and trustworthy. We met a few days before so that she could meet Sully and then she had him for a full day. She provided loads of updates and tired Sully out on two big walks! It was nice knowing Sully was being so well looked after and getting to hang out with Benni was an added bonus for him. Would definitely book Lorna again!”


13. Daniel P.
“I am absolutely delighted with Dan's exceptional pet care services! He has been walking Frankie (my dog), who is nervous around other dogs, and has also done some drop-ins. Dan's flexibility and willingness to go the extra mile have been invaluable. Dan has been incredibly understanding and accommodating when it comes to my Frankie's needs. He takes the time to ensure my dog feels comfortable and safe during walks, avoiding areas with other dogs when necessary. His communication is excellent; he always lets me know how the walk went and sends lovely photos of my happy pup. I've also had the pleasure of having Dan house sit for me a few times. Each time, my home has been left spotless, and he is reliable and trustworthy, ensuring that everything runs smoothly while I'm away. He even waters my plants if I ask, which is a wonderful added touch. What truly distinguishes Dan is his exceptional flexibility and reliability. Whether accommodating last-minute schedule changes or handling unexpected situations, he adapts seamlessly while maintaining the highest standards of care. His professionalism is matched only by his warmth and genuine affection for animals. The peace of mind Dan provides is invaluable. Knowing my beloved pet and home are in such capable hands allows me to travel without worry. His combination of dependability, compassion, and personalized care makes him an outstanding choice for any pet owner. If you're seeking pet care services that go above and beyond, look no further than Dan. His dedication to excellence has earned my highest recommendation and unwavering loyalty as a client.”

15. Georgie H.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life - we had afghan hounds from when I was a baby to my early teens, and currently have a border collie and a rescue. I have a lot of experience with bigger dogs, but have also dog-sat for smaller breeds and love them too! We raised our border collie from a puppy, so trained him and he’s grown up as part of the family. Although he’s getting on a bit now, he still loves a walk just as much as he did several years ago! Our rescue came to us a bit anxious and aggressive, so we’ve put a lot of time into growing her confidence and making her feel comfortable. She’s settled in and is making a lot of progress, it’s been lovely to see! I work from home as a personal assistant 3/4 days a week, meaning I would be able to spend more time with your pet throughout the day. I am very reliable so will follow any instructions left and will make sure to keep to any schedules (meal times/walks) so that your dog feels as comfortable as possible while you’re away.


16. Louise C.
“Louise and I have been friends for nearly 20 years. She’s fun, caring, sensible & endlessly kind. We all love her, including our dog. There’s no one better!”


17. Hannah H.

“Hannah was brilliant. She even arrived early and took absolute great care of our little girl Nala. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter she is brilliant and will keep you updated with how your little fur baby is doing.”


18. Tashana S.
“Tashana was an absolute gem when it came to looking after Sorni, our 4-year-old dog! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she loves and understands animals. She was incredibly attentive, making sure Sorni felt comfortable and loved throughout her stay. Tashana provided regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing Sorni was in such capable hands. Her professionalism and genuine care make her stand out. We couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!"”


19. Catherine G.
“Catherine has looked after our dog a few times now for holidays where we have been away. She is so reliable and treats our boy like her own, she has so much experience in looking after dogs and lots of other animals I never feel concerned at all when I am away knowing he is in such good hands and being well taken care of. I would not hesitate to recommend Catherine for caring for your dogs or other pets.”


20. Stephen W.
“I can highly recommend Stephen, he is a fantastic pet carer/sitter, having looked after our dalmation a handful of times, he has a very loving and caring nature towards my dog and she is always super happy to see him. He has had dogs all his life from Golden retrievers, Great Danes to miniture Dachshounds so has amazing experience from lots of different breeds and backgrounds of dogs. He is extremely patient and able to adjust to all different types of routines and always up for abit of fun if a playful dog is on hand.”
