1. Jacqueline F.
“I have used Jacki to pet sit numerous times as she is just a huge animal lover but professional at the same time. She manages the fine line of providing love and care without spoiling. I can trust Jacki to keep my dog’s interests at heart …. managing their routine, keeping to their training, giving medication when needed but also spending lots of time giving love and cuddles. She even doesn’t mind the mad arm licking.. it’s a pug thing! I have found Jacki to be understanding of my need to know how he is doing whilst I am away by providing updates of their day and lots of photos. I have found Jacki to be super organised.. she has a spreadsheet for everything and is extremely trustworthy as well as lovely. She always put me at ease as I can tell she cares about your home as well as your pet. She has also dealt with any sickness, visits to our vet, following advice on food, cooking bland food as well as cleaning up messes. She just gets stuck in and deals with the situation. I would definitely recommend Jacki and say that is she perfect for your customers and their pets.”

“Debbie and Andrew looked after Luna for 2 nights and weee absolutely fantastic, they kept me up to date with how she was doing with lots of communication and pictures. Would recommend them to anyone. Thanks again”


3. Simone V.
“Simone took on the care of my German Spitz when he was a very young age due to not being able to meet his training needs. He now lives full time with her and he absolutely loves her. He is now fully trained, knowing commands and tricks. Although he’s a nervous and anxious dog due to being attacked as a puppy prior to Simone’s care, she keeps him calm and takes him away from situations as quick as she can. Highly recommend, she’s fab!”

He kept us updated with pictures and messages whilst we were away and we have come home to a very happy dog! Would absolutely recommend and we will definitely be booking Jonathan again for when we need a pet sitter ☺️”

“Jennifer was absolutely outstanding. Happy to work around our busy schedule and looked after our little angel to perfection. Regular updates and photos during the visit made it extremely reassuring and felt like a breeze leaving her in very capable hands. Would highly recommend!!”


8. Cherry S.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs. I’ve walked family and friends dogs and also dog sat when they’ve gone away on holiday. I love all kinds of animals and love to go for long walks. I’m on a mission to get lots of experience and hopefully be the best dog walker for you! I’m currently working full-time, 40 hours, and have a Wednesday off. I would be available Wednesday and weekends, as well as some evenings after work. I travel to provide my services and would be happy to stay at your home. I travel to open spaces for your dog to explore and would keep in contact with you throughout the day; this would include message updates, pictures and possibly a phone call. I am also doing a first aid course for dogs!

10. Rob T.

“Nice guy. House was left clean and tidy. Dogs were happy and healthy. Well worth the extra cost of kennels.”


11. Erin M.
About: I have several years of experience when it comes to dogs. Not only did I work in a dog groomers for several years being around all types of dogs and dealing with different types of behaviours, I also worked at a dog daycare where again there were all types of breeds that require different types of care. I have also had pet dogs my whole life. I would be able to meet any need your dog would require whether that be some training practice for puppies, lead training or special care for older dogs or those who struggle with certain things. Whatever you require. I will be there for you. I currently work three evenings a week between 5:30 and 9:30 therefore if I was needed at these times your animal would not be alone for a long period of time. I am also at university but I am only on campus two hours a week on a Tuesday so I am very flexible and can be there whenever you require. I will respect your house and treat it as if it is my own if there are any special requirements I will make sure I meet them and will listen carefully to any instructions given. I am very trustworthy so that need not be a worry and I am also reliable.


12. Tamara S.
“We love Tamara and our Chow Chow Marcus loves her too!! Such a great and experienced sitter who is wonderful with animals. Tamara is also great at managing the house, we have a complex pool filtration system and a fish tank that needs regular attention. Tam was great at following the directions and managed to fix a minor electrical fault. We've used her 3 times now and will book her again for our upcoming holiday. Recommend recommend recommend.”


13. Laura B.
“Laura took great care of my three cats. They were lovingly cared for. Laura interacted with the cats and ensured that all their needs were attended to. Laura kept me updated with videos of the cats and reported frequently about their behaviour. The cats were happy in Laura's care and I would highly recommend!”


14. Subani G.
About: Hey! My name is Subani, and my genuine compassion for all animals started when I was so tiny; this love has heightened immeasurably since then. I am pursuing my Veterinary Medicine and Surgery (BVMS, MRCVS) degree. My existing qualifications are as follows: Veterinary Bioscience (BSc) PDSA First Aid Certificate Fear Free Handling Certificate 1 year+ Veterinary surgery; handling companion animals My availability is usually afternoons. However, I would love to be as accommodating as possible before booking; I am hopeful we can work something out :) My utmost goal is to provide a safe, happy, and comfortable environment in the absence of owners due to holidays or work commitments. This can be achieved by dog walking, pet sitting, playtime, medication administration, and lots of quality time.


15. Patrycja W.
“Highly recommend Patrycja, she has both walked our dogs and looked after them whilst we're away. She is extremely reliably, honest and has a genuine passion for animals.”


16. Hollie A.
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets from a very young age which included cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, horses and dogs. Being a vet student I’m constantly improving my knowledge on animal care and have done many placements at dog and cat rescues and veterinary practises. As a student I do most of my studying remotely on my own laptop, meaning as long as I have wifi I’m free to sit in, walk and look after your pets. I have a few labs a week which I have to be in liverpool to attend but other than that I’m usually available :) I currently look after my partners dog when needed and happily take him on two hour walks a day and keep him company for the rest of the day while I work. I’m happy to offer whatever personal care your pet requires and would want to discuss this further with you before arranging a sitting or walking :)


17. Georgia P.
“We’re really pleased to have found Georgia. It’s great to be able to have someone to stay at our house when away for the weekend and know the dogs are happy and well looked after. Georgia took them both for walks and they loved having a new playmate.”


18. Abigail C.

“Abbie was lovely and great with our dogs! She left the house clean and tidy and both dogs seemed to love her.”


19. Deborah G.
About: Deborah & Poppy’s doggy daycare/boarding Both myself and my daughter, with who I share the responsibility of the dogs we look after, love caring for all animals. I have lived with dogs since I was born, and have raised my children (who are all grown up now) in the same way. We love dog walkies, and have a wonderful large back garden to play fetch in too. My daughter studies from home, and I now have plenty of spare time to spend with my favourite animals (and spoil them!). We sadly lost our own dog to cancer earlier this year. Towards the end she had lots of special care requirements including nappy wearing, medications, and help getting around the house. We now want to care for dogs in our own time, and don’t want to go through loosing another. I am currently only working when I feel like working so I have plenty of time on my hands to care and look after dogs of all breeds and give them plenty of love . I have a large fenced garden for them to play ,and gates with locks on so they can’t escape , cameras in the front and back of the house and were I live is a very safe village in the countryside .
