2. Annie B.
“All you could want from a dog walking service. Annie is very dedicated, professional and above all, she really loves dogs and our dog loves her.”


3. Jennifer P.
“Jen was a wonderful dog sitter! Lola absolutely loved her and even learnt a few new tricks in the few weeks with Jen. Plenty of walks and correct meal timings with no issues. Absolutely brilliant dog sitter and would recommend her every time!”


4. Charlotte G.
About: I’ve always loved animals, and having my own dog has given me a real understanding of what it takes to care for them. I’m responsible, reliable, and I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well taken care of while you’re away. As a healthcare student, I’ve finished university and have no more commitments this summer. This gives me the perfect opportunity to focus on pet care. I’ll stick to your pet’s routine- whether it’s feeding, playtime, or walks. I’ll make sure they get lots of attention, follow any specific care instructions you have, and just make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll also respect your home and keep everything just how you left it.


5. Danielle F.

“Danielle is a lovely person to have sit your pet. She’s very personable, attentive and great with communication. Our Spaniel, Bella, is not the most social and sometimes nervous but seems at home with Danielle so she’ll definitely become our go to sitter. I can highly recommend her 👍”


6. Julie P.
“Julie has been a lover of dogs all her life. I have personally known her as the owner of 3 dogs. During that time she has regularly looked after my own dogs whilst I have been away on holiday or stepping in at short notice in times of a family illness or medical emergency to take over the care of them. They always return healthy and happy. I would recommend Julie to anyone who is looking for someone to look after and care for their dogs as if they were her own.”


7. Amber O.
“Amber is such a sweet girl and always gives her all to everything she does. Her good heart and patient personality, she's the perfect pet sitter.”


8. Lauren S.
“Couldnt suggest a better sitter! Lauren is professional, personable & compassionate. Nothing was ever too much to ask! I have and always will recommend her to all my friends and family.”


9. Imogen W.
“Imogen has cared for our two collies and our cat several times. They all adore her, and she has great empathy with them all! She loves to walk them, and look after them, but loves best of all to just hang out with them. I thoroughly recommend Imogen as a house and pet sitter to any animal lovers wanting a safe and loving stand-in while they get away for a while.”


10. Rachel S.
“We would 100% recommend rachel as a dog walker, she always has our dogs safety and best interests at heart. Rachel has been coming to visit maisy since she was a puppy, she came to meet us to discuss what we were after and made sure maisy was comfortable with her alongside us being happy before starting. Rachel Sends photo/ health updates and always makes sure maisy has plenty of cuddles each time she sees her, maisy loves walkies with Rachel and we wouldn’t have anyone else 💜”


11. Claire C.

“Claire was wonderful with my two cats. She sent daily photo updates whilst we were away, and tended to all of their needs. Including their daily top up of cat nip and cuddles. 😆 My Partner informed me that the cats were super happy to see Claire when she came to drop off the key after our time away, and eagerly greeted her. My old ladies are very picky with who they accept, so this was lovely. Thank you Claire. Xx”


12. Trase P.
About: I have been looking after friends pets for over 10 years & walking friends dogs periodically to fit in with my working from home job. As I work part time from home, I am very flexible in caring for your beloved at most times to suit us both, day or night. I have a large enclosed garden, where your pet can roam freely, between walks. I have a rather elusive, friendly cat who is used to dogs but does not like being barked at or chased! I am happy for your pet to sleep in whichever room they are comfortable, but preferably not on the bed (famous last words) sofas are fine, if they are used to it especially for cuddle time. Happy to crate them or whatever they are used to for their own comfort. Please bring their own bed & comfort blanket & toys.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. And I am completely obsessed with all dogs 😍 I say hello to dogs more than humans and have never had any problems with dogs in the slightest 🫶🏻 I am new to this app as this is something I’d love to do, but thought this would be a good starting point. I have a Jack Russell myself that lives with my parents and we take him on such lovely walks and I know lots of nice walking areas! I also absolutely love photography so I’m sure I’ll be sending you lots of lovely pictures aswell 😊😂 I do have 2 jobs already but it has some flexibility so with enough notice I’m sure I can make it work. I absolutely love going on walks and if it means taking a furry friend for a lunchtime walk I’d absolutely love that! It gets me out of the house aswell 😊🫶🏻 I am always extra careful when letting dogs off the lead and would only do that if your dog is well trained and you agree to it. I am an incredibly safe and well trusted person.


14. Charlotte K.

“Excellent with my little Denzil who can be very energetic at times.”


15. Jessica S.
“Jess looked after my lovely Cat named Twiggy. I went on a trip for a couple of days and Jess made sure he was well looked after and happy. By the end of it, it seemed like Twiggy liked her more than me! I’d definitely recommend.”


16. Elliot F.

“Couldn't recommend enough. Elliot was very quick to respond, sent pictures every day and even stayed longer to make sure my quieter cat was OK. Will definitely be using Elliot again for drop in visits!”


17. Vanessa R.
“Vanessa has always been our go to doggy carer for many years. She has a ton of experience and knowledge of dogs and I always have felt confident with her looking after my dogs. Our dogs are always cared for properly and you can see how happy they are when they stay over at her home. They always come back relaxed and well walked too which gives us a great time when we get home!!”


18. Kai S.

“I felt very happy that I could leave my cats, Charlie and Lily, at home knowing they would be looked after by Kai. I would definitely recommend Kai for home visits.”


19. Katie W.
“Katie has shown so much care for any dog I've seen her with, whether it be her own or my dog! She's a natural dog person who treats them with the care and respect that they deserve and I'm always more than happy for Katie to watch over and walk my dog whenever I can't be around to do it myself! There's actually nobody in the Somerset area that I'd leave me dog to.”


20. Zoe F.
“Zoe has watched my pets (a rabbit and a cat) mutilple times; and I would not use anyone else. Pictures sent of my babies when asked (and when I haven’t either) and always puts my minds at ease. I know that my pets will have food, water and a run around and they love it when Zoe comes over!”
