“Kirsty was a life saver over the Christmas break! Super friendly and reliable, sent pics and videos every time she visited and made sure the kitties were well fed and looked after! Thank you Kirsty ✨”
“Pauline popped in to feed our cats and give them some company for a couple of days while we were away, and she was absolutely brilliant. She’s so friendly and easy to talk to, and really put my mind at ease. She sent updates and photos, which made such a difference – I could tell the cats were totally relaxed and well looked after. It was great knowing they were in safe hands. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Jenny looked after our ragdoll, Muffin for 10 days whilst we were on holiday and wow, she was incredible. It’s the first we’ve ever left Muffin alone and we were very anxious about how she’d react. Jenny was phenomenal, popped over before our trip to introduce herself and meet Muffin, and right away we were totally put at ease. She happily answered all of our questions and agreed to all of our advice/guidance for Muffin. We had some issues with a spare key and it was no bother for Jenny to pop over again before we left to collect it. Each day that we were away she sent plenty of pictures and updates and this really and truly put us at ease. It was clear she got along super well with Muffin and that she loved her back which is just superb. Whilst we were away, we ran out of kibble and it was no bother for Jenny to pick it up from the store. We came home to a perfectly happy kitty, absolutely no temper tantrums or cold shoulders which we’d expected (and usually get if we leave her for just the day). Muffin was very content and relaxed and we are just over the moon. It’s clear Muffin has a new best friend and we will definitely be booking with Jenny again. We came home to a beautiful thank you card and sweeties, and Jenny was totally happy to pop by once more to drop off our key again. Super happy and super grateful. Thank you Jenny 🥰”
About: Hi, I’m Cloe! I’ve been caring for dogs and other animals since I was young, and it's something I’ve always been passionate about. I currently have two dogs of my own, Nylah and Honey. Nylah is reactive, which has given me valuable experience and understanding of different dog behaviours, especially when it comes to dogs with unique needs or behavioural challenges. This hands-on experience means I’m confident in caring for pets with a range of temperaments, and I always take a calm, patient, and personalized approach to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also regularly look after a family member’s cat, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. Whether your pet needs a little extra attention or just a cozy, fun visit while you're away, I’m here to provide loving, reliable care. I am available on any day of the week and weekends. I’m also open to overnight stays with advance notice and can often accommodate last-minute bookings when my schedule allows. I’ll do my best to work around your needs and provide reliable, loving care. Any questions just ask! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand each animal’s individual needs and personality, ensuring a calm and secure environment where they can feel at ease. Whether it's managing leash reactivity, administering medication, or simply providing a quiet space to relax.I also keep pet parents updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind while you're away.

“Nabila was amazing and a huge help at rhe very last minute! I had to pop out last minute and a new puppy owner. Nabila responded quickly and very flexible. She arrived on time and you can tell she genuinely loves dogs and being around them. My puppy slept through the night after all the excitement of new friends to play with! Nabila also treated my home with great respect and had no problem leaving a key and trusting Nabila, I have no hesitation i will be arranging you again in the near future for Poppy. I also loved the photos and videos you sent whilst you visited Poppy too. Thank you so much again!”
“Susan has a great understanding of a conducive space for pets to thrive and feel comfortable in. She's a wonderful person and our cats have come back healthier than when they left. And they've always been healthy cats. Their wellbeing says it all !”
“Mollie-Mae looked after our cat for 5 days whilst we were away. I’m really happy with the way Mollie-Mae looked after our wee boy and was respectable with the property. It now makes it easier to think about going away knowing I can book Mollie-Mae and my cat will be well looked after.”
About: I am an environmental consultant, constantly out in nature with dog experience and handling of large breeds throughout my whole life. I understand every dog is different and I’m happy to provide that home from home experience for your family member! I know how daunting it can be to leave your dog, so FaceTime and pictures can be sent to ensure your peace in mind. Your dog will be treated like my own, with as many walks as required, secure garden and treats on hand! I will abide by your rules! And help with any training if required! I’ve experience in rescues, nervous dogs and aggressive dogs. Please just let me know your dogs needs.

This is usually done every other day.

About: I have always taken care of dogs and been around dogs my full life. Recently my own dog passed away at the age of 10 from health complications which also leaves my house pet free and a missing place. I have done work experience in a vet practice and a hnc in animal care and now at university studying biomedical science in hopes of becoming a vet so I have lots of experience in caring for animals and it is a passion I have had for a long time. My house is quite spacey with a decent sized garden for your dog to have space to play and run around and also go somewhere for space and alone time if needed. From my experiences I have knowledge and can also do basic healthcare on animals and know basic diseases and how to care for them including injections and antibiotics. I am currently at home for the summer from university so I have a lot of free time until september so this gives me some extra things to fit in and have fun doing I have a fenced garden and also do not live on a busy road. I am also able to deal with any type of dogs and can crate them if needed.
