“Sophie is a wonderfully friendly, kind and confident young lady with lots of experience and compassion. Wolfie is a big (35kg) very strong boy who, I'm sorry to say, is a pain on the lead, so I was very nervous about getting a walker to take him out whilst my Mum (nearly 70) looked after him for the week. Sophie was amazing, from our initial meeting to introduce her to Wolfie, he loved her and seemed very happy to be around her. She was confident with him and very loving. My mum fed back to me that, Wolfie was always happy to go with Sophie and came back from his walks tired, happy and satisfied. Sophie kept in touch with me via the app, posting info and lots of lovely photos of my boy having fun, and was intouch with my Mum regularly to confirm pick up times etc...Sophie also accessed the house to collect and return Wolfie on a couple of occasions when my Mum was out, without any issue or concerns. I came home from my week away, to a happy health dog and I will certainly be calling on Sophie to look after my boy, for work trips and holidays in future.”

About: I have grown up with dogs, hamsters, rabbits and cats. I have moved out and have a dog of my own who is a 1 1/2 year old German Shepard x Doberman, I've had her since a 7 week old puppy. We love going out for long walks and being social in the dog park. I have good experience with big dogs, and highly active dogs, as my family dog was a border collie who didn't ever want to stop. Alongside this I love all other animals, my sisters always had a wide range of reptiles and I've enjoyed meeting and greeting her latest addition. I feel like as long as I'm with any type of animal I'm happy, if that's long dog walks outside or just a bit of attention on the sofa. All animals deserve to be treated like family and I can assure you, if you chose me to help out with your pet, I'll treat it like my own and with love and care I work 4 days a week, I have Saturday to Monday off and I love spending to with my dog, doing dog walks and being outside. I have a fenced off garden where my dog and your pet will be allowed to go outside, I take them for a morning walk, and evening walk, and they are let outside multiple times throughout the day. They get lots of cuddles and care. My dog gets fed in the morning and the evening, and a few treats whilst out on the walks.

“Friedel is great with my dog, she is very caring and playful and Bird (my dog) really responds to it and enjoys bieng around her. I would recommend to anyone looking for a kind and experienced sitter.”
4. Susan M.
“Finding someone trustworthy and someone you can feel comfortable with to look after our furry family members can be daunting but I can highly recommend Suzie. Suzie has a plethora of experience with our pets and can be trusted to provide all the love and cuddles required. She can be relied on in unplanned situations, is a good timekeeper and will treat your pet as her top priority. Suzie's work with her therapy dogs in schools has been highly sought after and I don't hesitate to recommend Suzie to pet sit for you.”

6. Libby A.
About: I have had dogs all my life and can do some basic training with dogs of any age from puppies. Happy with any size dog. I am a uni student so it will fit around my lectures and commitments. I am currently in university on Mondays and Thursdays and study from home on the other days. Therefore I have lots of free time to care for your doggies! I offer walkies and drop in visits. However if your dog is very comfortable with cats, I would be able to offer care in my own home.
7. Sara A.
About: I’ve looked after and owned a wide range of pets throughout my life! From rabbits to hamsters, birds, turtles, cats and dogs! As an animal lover Ive enjoyed spending time with each and every one of them! I sometimes work normal 9-5 shifts but sometimes have longer and more irregular working hours. So I sometimes have whole days off during the weeks and often weekends off! I live in a house with an enclosed garden. I’m happy for the pets to have free roam of the house and garden as required.

15. Heather N.
“Lilly seemed to enjoy her walk with Heather, and she was punctual, and even came to mine to pick up the keys the day before the walk. Thank you, Heather!”
16. Bethany N.
“Beth has always been my go-to when it comes to my dog Teddys care. Not only is she very knowledgeable (she is a vet tech after all) my dog, Teddy, loves her. Teddy struggles with Anxiety and seizures. Because of this, he requires constant care. Beth has always ensured Teddy takes his meds on time and is aware when Teddy starts feeling overwhelmed. When I need to travel I know my dog is well taken care of.”
17. Lottie L.
“Charlotte would make an excellent member of your team, she is kind, reliable and absolutely adores all dogs, big or small. She can’t walk past a dog without stopping and making a fuss of them, she cares and totally spoils her own dog who is probably the most spoilt Pooch I know!”
18. Chloe L.
“She helped my family alot when we got a boxer puppy. She helped set rules, helped train and helped walk my pup. As he got older he got alot stronger and Chloe helped me walk him at quiet times into a field to continue his training with recall which got better in time. My Boxer was rather reactive to other people and dogs so Chloe helped to ensure me that he was in good hands and the walks can help.”
19. Cindy C.
“Cindy is one of the most kind and genuine people you can meet, and her love of dogs is evident. The added bonus is that she is someone who loves keeping fit. Therefore, you can have no doubt that your dog will receive more than ample exercise. Highly recommend.”
