“Bruce loves Tianna, he always brings her a shoe when she comes to visit! Tianna is very reliable and trustworthy and our cat Vera also is very attached to her and just wants cuddles all day ❤️”


“I highly recommend Edita, she looked after our puppy for us this weekend and has done a fantastic job. She has been kind, loving and taken her out for some lovely walks. It means a lot to trust someone with your dog, but Edita made us feel comfortable about leaving our puppy with her and it was clear to us that she’s a dog person and spent lots of time doing nice things with her. Thank you so much ❤️”


“Amber looked after our 3 dogs and 2 cats overnight recently and we returned to happy waggy dogs that were very well looked after, cats well looked after also and Amber took great care of the house as well, we couldn’t have asked for more and will definitely ask Amber to sit again in the future.”


“Claire stepped in at really short notice due to being let down by previous sitter! I cannot rate Claire highly enough, lots of pictures and lots of updates which is reassuring when you are away from your poochies, lots of walks, exercise and ball throwing throughout. House was spotless on our return, absolute 5🌟plus for Claire and we shall be booking again for sure, thanks Claire you are an absolute star xx”


About: I don't have any pets of my own but I have grown up in a family dog boarding business so I have been surrounded by different types of dogs from a young age. I am currently working part time at a kennels from where I have been since October 2024. I studied a 2 year course at Kingston Maurward College completing a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management, where I also completed 440 hours worth of experience at a vets. I also gained 9 months of experience working at that vets as a Animal Nursing Assistant. Please contact me if you have any questions before booking! x I'm currently working 2 days a week at a kennels on Wednesday and Sunday until the end of December 2025. However I am free the other days of the week for pet care services. When looking after your animals I want to make sure that they have the same routine with little disruption to ensure that they are still happy and comfortable while you are away! When booking please provide all instructions and schedules so that this routine can stay the same as much as possible.

“A last minute cancellation I was stuck for a sitter,I messaged Chloe and she got back to me very promptly. She put me at ease straight away, and answered all my questions and queries. Chloe was super , keeping me updated thoughout her stay. Both Cled and Casper loved her looking after them. I came back to a set of very happy dogs and a very clean house. Thankyou again Chloe.”


“Genuinely couldn’t have been more helpful! Jen stayed overnight looking after our elderly dog whilst we got married. He’s now deaf and blind, so got many quirks and needs. Jen was so supportive, sent us so many updates and photos and kept our boy company. We’ve already recommended her to so many friends and family, and will certainly be rebooking her!”


“The boys took to Imogen immediately, as soon as she walked through the door. It was very obvious from the outset that Imogen is a very lovely and caring person who understands dogs and they feel very confident and happy with her. I have no hesitation in both recommending her wholeheartedly for dog sitting but also for looking after our house and “just being very very helpfully in “fitting in with” what we needed throughout her sit. We and the boys can’t wait for her to come back.”


About: My husband and I have always had pets as children. We love all animals and care for them like they are our own. Both our families have dogs which we look after when needed and enjoy taking on walks. Welcome any breed of dogs in too our loving home, please let us know if there are any special requirements with your pets as we want too know them as well as we possible can! Happy to take as many photos and videos as owners would like, we know as pet owners ourselves we miss them when we are not with them! I’m currently working part time after returning from maternity leave with our first child. Which gives me time to look after your fur babies. I’m home most of the time and enjoy taking them on long walks. Our garden is completely in closed and secure, we can also cater for a crate if your dog requires one. There are beautiful scenic walks all around.

“Annabelle looked after our 3 dogs Alfie, Stanley and Marley, when we wentaway for 4 nights/ 5 days. She gave us regular feedback and photos on how the dogs were and was very honest about Marley's antics: She's 22 months old and a bit of a houdini!! The dogs were very well looked after and walked daily by Annabelle. We felt so relaxed knowing she was there.It was clear they'd been well cared for She even washed the bed linen and re made the bed which was one less thing for me to think about when we got home in the evening. I would definitely recommend her and would use her again. X”

“Kieren communicated well before and during her stay with my dog, Hovis. She made time to meet us before the sit started to get to know the ‘routine’ and was quickly accepted as Hovis’ new best friend, sending me photos of contented dog on walks and relaxing on lap. ( Hovis is a ‘rescue’’ and still a little wary of change. Or of being disturbed while asleep.) Kieren understood her needs and was also upfront with the fact that she has to work one or two evenings a week. As my dog is used to being left in evenings while I am at orchestral rehearsals this was not a problem. ( Hovis was well walked beforehand!).”


“Many thanks to Vanessa for being here for Roma while I had a much needed break away. Roma took to Vanessa immediately and clearly felt very much at ease with her. I received several reassuring updates during my time away and on my return found a contented Roma and my home left in immaculate condition as I left it. Vanessa was also supportive of my current situation as primary carer of my husband and prepared to be flexible around the arrangements for Roma's care. I hope very much to be able to avail myself of Vanessa's services again when I book another break away. Many thanks indeed.”


“Sheana was incredible from the start of the booking all the way through to my return. Bruh cled and Casper loved her, and were spoilt rotten. I came back to a lovely clean house, and two Very happy doggies.”


About: I’ve looked after animals, my own and friends, for 10 years now. Nothing beats opening the door to see them waiting on the other side. No animal is too difficult for me and I will accommodate their needs wholeheartedly I’m currently working from home the majority of the time so I can very easily fit looking after your furry friends into my weekly schedule. Animals are part of the family. If you have specific care requirements for your furry friends I will happily oblige to ensure you feel you have left them in safe hands.

About: My family had a boxer dog called Charlie before I was born until I was 6. My grandparents also had a dog until two years ago, who I walked and played with. My neighbour also would being their cocker-spaniel Poppy to our house a few weekends a year, for us to look after, including taking on regular walks, out to the toilet, etc. I would like to petsit a few weekends a year, probably once a month, and am happy to travel to a variety of places for this. I will ensure the safety of your pet at all times, ensuring I follow the instructions you provide to fulfil the individual needs of your pet. I have high attention to detail, and have worked in environments where responsibility and caring for others is of extreme importance (I worked in a nursery for 3 months over the summer 2021).

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and just love being with them! I’ve done periods of dog training with a springer spaniel including, heel practice, distraction techniques, agility and obedience. Growing up as a family we’ve had a Shetland pony, horse, goats, guinea pigs, cats and rabbits. Most recently on my sits I will ask if there’s any specific that needs to be maintained over the sit, for example I maintained a structure of training for a rescue I was looking after. My work schedule is incredibly flexible so I can offer a variety of slots and availability but it’s hard to list this via the app. Please message for specifics, my office also allows for dogs to come to work so if that’s something you would be interested in then that’s a possibility! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 🐾🐾 My working schedule is: Monday 5:30-11pm Tuesday 11-3 (working from home) 3-11pm (office) Wednesday 9-5pm (office) Thursday (working from home) And my work is very flexible so I can rearrange where needed to suit! I would be looking after in the owners home, I would understand how the owner cares for their dog and the games/ play they have and ensure to keep this to a similar care. Ensuring time for lots of play & cuddles!

About: I treat every pet like my own — with lots of love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I’ve got plenty of hands-on experience thanks to my own dog, Bailey, a 5-year-old Cavapoo who’s playful, great with other dogs but loves a cuddle on the sofa! Whether it’s bouncy puppies who need structure and fun, or older dogs who need a slower pace and a little extra TLC, I’m confident handling it all. I’m reliable, easygoing, and always focused on making your pet feel safe, happy, and right at home. And don’t worry — I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pics and messages! I work shifts at Starbucks, so my schedule is flexible and easy to work around. I make plenty of time each day for walks, cuddles, playtime, and all the care your pet needs. Whether it’s early mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I can usually find a time that works for both of us. Bailey also loves the company, so it’s a great routine for both of us! At my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They’ll have a safe garden, comfy space to relax, plenty of playtime, walks, and lots of love (plus a friendly Cavapoo, Bailey, to keep them company). I keep routines as close to home as possible — whether that’s meal times or sleeping arrangements. If I’m looking after your pet in your home, I make sure to respect your space and stick to your pet’s usual routine. I’ll follow any instructions closely, give regular updates, and make sure your pet feels calm, cared for, and completely comfortable while you’re away.
