7. helena m.
“Helena is a beautiful, kind hearted soul who puts everything into caring for others. All animals included. She has an abundance of patience and understanding and lots of love and care to give. Any pet lucky enough to be in Helena’s care really has struck gold! She will ensure that any and all care given is appropriate and of a very high standard. Empathy is something she has in abundance, this can’t be taught, you either have it or you do not. She definitely has it. I can highly recommend her as a care giver in any setting. But she has a love of small dogs in particular. Making her the ideal caregiver for them.”


8. Magdalena W.

“I honestly can’t thank Magdalena enough, she was warm, knowledgeable and accommodating! I was very nervous leaving my senior frenchie Delia with someone for the first time in 10 years.. she’s also starting to need additional care and attention as her health and mind are starting to show signs of aging. Magdalena handled me and Delia like a real professional! I was very anxious but she explained her plan for introducing Delia to her home and sent me updates and reassurances that completely put me at ease. I have complete confidence in Magdalena and look forward to Delia being able to visit again soon :)”


9. Alex S.

11. Jamie B.
“I left my lab with Jamie while I was on holiday. It was the first time I had used to dog sitter and I was quite nervous. Jamie took Vader into his home for just over a week. There were no issues and Jamie text me everyday letting me know how my wee guy was doing. Highly recommended!”


12. Kirsty S.
About: Myself and my partner Fraser have both grown up with dogs in the family home, and now dog sit for our own family and friends. We have experience with small to medium sized dogs, and are familiar with more senior dog, as my family dog is 15! We both work from home throughout the week, and take regular lunch time walks. With watching our own family dogs in the house throughout the week, we have found that we have availability to offer these services to others. We have a fenced back garden, which your dog will be able to roam in. We do prefer to keep dogs off the couch but always ensure they have a bed to snuggle in. We have some experience with crate trained dogs so would be able to accommodate if required.


13. Yun W.
“Yun has been such a reliable carer for my dogs when she is back in China. Last year, she helped my dog give birth to 5 beautiful pups! She is also excellent at taking dogs out for walks and adventures, she never disappoints!”


14. Reka H.
“We have known Réka and Chris for many years and were really excited to meet their pup Zuko when they first got him back in 2021. Zuko was instantly an integral part of their wee family and Réka and Chris have poured their hearts into providing him with the best upbringing he could hope for. Zuko has enjoyed many walks and play dates together with our own dog Remi, and Réka and Chris have always shown the same sort of love, care and enjoyment in their interactions with him. We're certain that the opportunity for Réka and Chris to care for other dogs would be a really fulfilling experience for everyone involved.”


15. Haritha J.

“Everything went as expected and Cinnamon enjoyed her stay. I recommend Haritha as a dog sitter :)”


16. Audrey T.

18. Jamie L.
“Jamie offers to a great support to those who want to provide their fluffy family members a safe, fun and loving time. His experience is evident (from previously being a dog owner, but also how has been with my dog). I own a high energy Staffordshire Bull cross, who can sometimes exhibit reactivity in new situations, but Jamie was made sure he was well-looked after and supported him with a calm and confident manner on walks. I also think it’s really important to note that he helped maintain my dog’s training cues/routine. Whilst I don’t suspect every dog needs such a prescriptive routine, it was so valuable to have behavioural reminders reinforced with a new person/situation. Jamie is very responsive to our messaging and is highly reliable. He has provided us with dog walking and dog sitting services whenever we have required. I think it is great that Jamie is available whenever we have plans to travel or even when the pup has needed someone to check-in and give him a walk. Our dog is always so happy to see him! It is clear Jamie has such a huge heart when it comes to dogs, I would highly recommend him.”


19. Stephen John J.

“Stephen was a pleasure to deal with, very responsive and accommodating, looking after my high energy pup for the day while I travelled for work. Recommended”


20. Dillon J.

“Dexter loved his time with Dillon as usual! He's always so good and calm with him. Dex loves seeing Dillon and getting plenty of cuddles, lazing around on his sofa. There's never been any doubt that Dillon is amazing with him”
