2. Amy B.
“Amy has a genuine love for animals and a natural ability to connect with them, making her an excellent choice for a pet sitter.

4. Michelle C.

“Michelle was fantastic with the two dogs. Ziggy needed medicine and she was more than happy to make sure he got it, and Harris is a super bouncy dog and she tired him out with two walks. Plenty of updates and picture too! Will definitely reach out when in need of dog sitting/walking again! Thanks so much Michelle!”


5. Robyn J.
“Robyn, has watched our dog several times. He always comes home happy, and we get lots of updates and photos from his adventures!, Robyn is very reliable and professional and would highly recommend!”


6. Nabila A.
“I was struggling for dog care and i found Nabila, i am so glad I did and she is the only person I would now use to watch my dog. Nabila has a big enclosed garden, there is a 6ft fence all around it, she also works from home so i was able to relax on holiday knowing that my dog was properly cared for. On holiday Nabila sent me lots of photos of my dog (basically having the time of his life!), she also took the care to seperate the dogs when feeding as my dog is on a sensitive diet. When i went to pick my dog up, Nabila had left the kitchen door open leading into the garden, so the dogs at her home are able to go out side / inside freely. I found communication from her to be excellent and she was able to easily answer any concerns i had (esp about feeding my dog seperate).”
7. Susan Y.

“Susan was really friendly to me and checked on my cats every day. She hung out with them for a while each day, and sent me pictures and notes every day about how they were doing. I greatly appreciate her, and I will ask her to drop in on my kitties the next time I travel! I 100% recommend her. :)”


8. Laura K.
About: Growing up, I've had the privilege of caring for a variety of pets, which has created my passion for all animals. With over 20 years of having dogs and cats in my family, I've attended puppy classes and taken on the responsibility of looking after family dogs. I enjoy going on walks, playing, and nurturing pets, and I'm well-equipped to handle any situations that may arise during these outings. My extensive background in pet care ensures that I can provide the love and attention your furry friend deserves, making them feel comfortable and loved while you're away. You can trust that your pet will be in great hands I am currently a third year student studying law. However, I am only in university for 2-3 hours a day. I also work part time as a manger in McDonald’s, doing 2-3 shifts a week. This leaves me with plenty spare time during the week and at the weekend when I am off! I have a reasonably big back garden for your pets to run around and play in. My family live around the corner with a golden retriever and a cockapoo, giving your furry pet plenty company on walks if allowed! All in all it is a safe and happy environment for your wee pet to be in.
9. Heather N.
“Heather is absolutely amazing with my dog, Belle. Every time I drop her off, Belle is so excited to see her. I always know she’s in great hands—Heather treats her like she’s her own. I get updates and pics, and it’s clear Belle is having the best time. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”

11. Ashley M.
About: I have over 15 years experience with cats and dogs I owned a boxer x husky and staffy which sadly passed away due to old age I was going to get another but I just dont think could deal with the heartbreak it leaves on you so decided to make this as a job instead so it’s best of both worlds I can look after pets while I work ! I have 2 children age 6&7 so when boarding the pets would need to be friendly around children. I am also fully licensed to board in my Home and fully insured for extra safety hope to hear from your furry pets soon❤️ I currently making this my full time job so I have all the time for the job and very excited to get started in this I have a very large and enclosed garden also can do crate aswell if preferred will be also walked up to 4 times a day


12. Rachel P.
About: I’m Rachel, and anyone who knows me knows how much I love animals! As well as a vast collection of pets over the years I’ve worked in dog day care and kennels, a cattery and on a farm and horse livery. I have proficient experience especially with puppies from 8 weeks old, as my mother trains guide dog puppies and we have had many over the years. I am a full time emergency services shift worker so cannot commit to full time boarding, dog walking and day care (for now) but have plenty of space for cat sitting. I can do walkies and day care on my days off and when on annual leave. My schedule will be updated to reflect this. I have a fully fenced back garden and plenty of local parks. Any feeding, toileting, cleaning cat litter trays and any medication can be provided.


13. Katie W.

“Thankyou Katie my cats were very well looked after will sure be booking again Sharon 😁”


14. Mollie-Mae M.

“Mollie has been great, updated me everyday regarding my pet, kept litter clean and tidy. Food and water kept tidy and filled up. It was reassuring to know that Mollie was in with my cat. Would definitely recommend. Thank you again Mollie much appreciated 😊”


15. Caitlin M.
“Caitlin very kindly looked after my westie Bonnie whilst I went abroad on holiday. Caitlin was exemplary as a my dog sitter, with lots of pup dates and photos sent to me throughout. Bonnie was reluctant to leave when I returned! I wholeheartedly recommend Caitlin as a trusted dog sitter.”


16. Dionne C.
“Dionne is the kindest person I know. She will always put others before herself because she just wants to spread happiness everywhere she goes. I am so happy for her to have made the decision to walk dogs as I know she’s naturally good with dogs as she is an overall animal lover. Dogs always fall in love with dionne, as she devotes herself to the happiness of all the animals she encounters :) If you choose Dionne you can relax knowing that your dog is in the kindest, most caring hands available.”


17. Olivia R.
“Olivia obviously loves animals and was great at looking after my little fur ball. She listened to my requests not to overwalk him and he comes back each time happy and refreshed. I have no hesitation in recommending Olivia if you need a dog walker or sitter, she's really trustworthy and careful.”


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. Sarah M.

“Sarah did a wonderful job of looking after my 2 cats providing daily health updates & photos to put my mind at rest. I would highly recommend Sarah & home visits.”

“Stephen took good care of my 2 dogs over Xmas period. Thank you”
