“Rob and his family looked after Eddy really well. He set up a WhatsApp group for us so we could see what Eddy was up to and we were able to visit beforehand to make sure Eddy would be a good fit. He and his family were really relaxed with Eddy and Eddy looked happy and healthy on his return to us. Eddy’s been really calm and settled coming home so he must have enjoyed his holiday. Rob and his family were also very flexible about drop off and pick up and communicated well with us throughout. We can’t thank them enough.”
“Theo had the best time with Zack once again. His first long weekend away (which we were kind of nervous about!) but he was absolutely settled. Even made himself a new best friend with the neighbour's dog - a pleasant surprise for us! Couldn't recommend Zack enough and already planning for the next one :)”
“We wouldn't have anyone but Natalie look after Stan while we are away. He loves his stays. This time Stan had his own holiday with Natalie & family! She always makes sure to send plenty of photos & videos so that I can see he's happy & having a great experience. The best dog boarder !”
“Magnus stayed with Fraser for four nights and was well looked after. We got plenty of photo updates of nice long walks and a video of Magnus fast asleep and snoring. We know he's in good hands!”
“Liz looked after our young dog Bonnie whilst we were away for a weekend. She did an amazing job of entertaining Bonnie and getting her on some cooler morning walks, as it was super hot! She gave us regular updates on how Bonnie was doing and sent some lovely photos too. Would definitely recommend Liz!”
“Andre was an absolute life saver having Hugo at short notice, he has an amazing place with so much room for the dogs to run around. He kept me updated and reasssured the whole time which I really appreciated, thanks again Andre”
“Natalie was absolutely lovely and we had total confidence in her from the outset. She came to meet Ted a few days before he stayed with her and took the trouble to get to know him She was always quick to respond, and kept us updated with photos throughout his stay. Ted clearly had a lovely time with her and even came home with some new toys! We highly recommend her.”
“Absolutely outstanding. Our first time using Rover, and our first time leaving our pup with someone we didn’t know - and we hit the jackpot. Noey asked us to do a meet&greet in advance which was great as we were able to see how the dogs got on and what the house was like before we committed to the booking. Everyone had a wonderful time and Noey sent us regular updates and pictures throughout the stay. Couldn’t fault it at all. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be booking again.”
“This was our first time leaving our two (very energetic!) spaniels with Aleksandra and we could not be happier! Meg and Moss were clearly well looked after, walked well and very happy when we picked them up. Aleksandra kept me updated lots throughout the day which I really appreciated and was super flexible with picking up and dropping off. We will definitely be back!”
“Nina was fantastic, very attentive and adapted to our dogs individual needs. Leaving two young dogs with anyone is always nervy, but Nina did a great job, putting me at ease with photo and video updates and even gave some great advice for us going forward. Will certainly use again!”
“Lucas was an absolutely fantastic sitter - he kept us updated with messages and photos the whole time and he and his family were a perfect fit for our sociable dog. We will definitely be using him again! Thank you!”
“We left Duque, our old dog, with her for 3 days and we are very happy! Good communication, good care, good people! We thank them from the bottom of our hearts for their patience and understanding especially because Duque also had health problems! We recommend her!!!❤️ Irina , George and Duque !”
“I was apprehensive about leaving my nervous chihuahua/cross with anyone for 24 hours but Synolda was perfect for him. She is so relaxed and has a natural empathy with dogs which my dog responded to immediately (this is very unusual!). It also helped that there were two other small dogs there to help him settle in and to play with in the Bark Park :) Synolda sent me regular updates and made the experience so much less stressful for us so we were able to enjoy our family event. I highly recommend Synolda and would take my dog to her again without hesitation.”
“Becky looked after our puppy at her house for the afternoon. Second time looking after him. He came home very happy and clearly had a great time. Brilliant care and communication again.”
“Kate and her family were absolutely wonderful with Poppy! Since Kate works from home, Poppy had constant company, and she loved being spoiled by Kate's partner and teenage kids. Her large garden was perfect for relaxing. Communication was excellent throughout the stay—highly recommend Kate for anyone looking for a loving home environment!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter for Obi while we were away for our wedding. From the moment they met, Obi (who is usually quite nervous around new people) took to Fran immediately, which gave us so much confidence. Throughout the two nights, Fran kept us updated with lovely photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease and meant we could relax and enjoy our special day knowing he was in such caring hands. It was clear that Obi was happy, well looked after and genuinely cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fran to anyone looking for a kind, reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our boy!”

About: I had my Reggie from the age of 12 weeks old until he was 15+ years old. He loved attention from people but did not like the company of other cats. He had been through several surgeries in his lifetime so I am experienced in post-surgery care and administering medication orally. He was very much a lap cat and slept on our bed most nights. He tolerated most dogs we boarded and kept himself to himself.
“Christine is an amazing person. She made sure my little, picky and not too friendly with strangers cat accepted her with no time. She made sure, Philip was happy and comfy. I can only recommend her to everyone as a cat sitter. Thank you very much to take such a great care of my cat. Definitely I will use your service next time.”
“Awe what a lovely person Sophie is , after meeting her we went on holiday really relaxed , we had some texts while away Sophie letting us know our 2 cats were fine , we will definately book her again for our next holiday , Thankou Sophie xxx”
“We can’t sing Gillian’s praises enough. She’s the top cat/dog sitter in our area and for good reason. She’s gone above and beyond while looking after our two cats, going to such great and selfless lengths that we never expected. It was our first time using this service, and Gillian has won our trust completely.”
“Kim visited our house to meet our kitten and learn about her needs demonstrating real interest and care for our pet. She attended our property at the agreed time and was thoughtful to suggest with us that she leave lights on etc to create a suggestion of being home whilst we were away. Great to receive some photos and we returned for find a happy kitty and everything popped away and tidy after her being fed etc. A great service and will definitely use again”
“Amber followed my instructions to care for my cat. She sent photos and a short update every day which left me feeling reassured. When I got home Clover seemed happy and relaxed.”
“Really helpful and a lovely lady, nothing was an issue and she helped me out at short notice with a dog visit. Updates and information on the visit plus she took the time to understand my dogs needs and took care of everything. 10/10 would use again.”
“We knew as soon as we met Carrie she was the right fit for looking after our moggie. Pixel was still very nervous after a recent house move and Carrie was so patient and gave us lots of reassurance and updates while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to use Carrie again.”
“Sara is very pleasant and clearly loves cats. We could see that she had given Chester lots of attention and food because he was very relaxed and happy when we came home from our holiday. All her communications with us were excellent and she looked after our home well. I would not hesitate to book her again. Highly recommended. ”
About: I’m a lifelong cat lover who has been surrounded by kittens and cats for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for everything from tiny, mischievous babies to big, characterful breeds like Maine Coons, so I’m confident with all personalities, ages, and temperaments. At home, I have a gorgeous 12‑year‑old ginger moggie called Ramona and a gentle young Rhodesian Ridgeback called Dylan, so animals are a huge part of my everyday life. I offer twice‑daily pop‑ins with a calm, caring approach and a genuine love for routine and reassurance. Whether your cat wants cuddles, quiet company, or simply someone who understands their needs, I’ll make sure they feel safe, content, and properly looked after while you’re away. You’ll get photos, updates, and the peace of mind that your pet is being cared for just as you would.
“Very happy to have found Frank! He’s super reliable and a lovely guy. He looked after our two cats, Shrimp and Miffy, for a few days and managed to win them both over—especially impressive since Miffy usually takes a while to warm up to new people. He also took great care of the house while we were away and even watered my tomatoes. Highly recommend!”
“100% pleased and happy with Anna. Cant give enough praise, allowed me to enjoy my two days away without worrying about how poppy is coping. Don't think she missed me for a second. definitely will be asking Anna again Sent lovely photos to me absolutely delighted with Anna's pop ins”
About: I grew up with two border collies. I helped care for them from pups to seniors. I don't have that many photos of me and them together or me and any pet together as I was a bit camera shy. I completely understand what it takes and how much our animals mean to us. From feeding them twice to three times a day, to the hours upon hours of walking I did with them by my side. I really learnt what it was like to care and look after pets. Young and old. I was in control of dog sledging team last winter. Competeing in races and casual sledging. I worked with my mother who fostered a puppy when our dog was senior, so I understand the difference in age and what is required with each stage of an animals life. Catering my experience to whatever stage your pet is at. I am an avid hiker and love taking dogs with me. I have been left friends dogs and cats to feed while they were away. Overall I just love animals. I am very flexible around dates and times. On an average week I will have 2-3 days i can dedicate to your pet. It will take a bit of organizing but I am sure that I can fit around your schedule. I like to listen to the pet owners about their pets, as I believe they know them best. I look to find out all i can about a dog before walks. If I am too come to your home. I like to know if the pet is on any medication. If there is any strict rules the pet follows (like not being allowed in bedrooms) after all it's the pets home. I'm just a visitor. Overall I like to get a sense of the animal and the situation I am coming into.
About: I’ve always had cats in my life, from playful kittens to senior cats, so I understand their different personalities and needs. I genuinely love being around cats and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide feeding, playtime, cuddles, litter tray cleaning, and regular updates for your peace of mind. Feel free to message me if you’re looking for a reliable and loving cat sitter!

“Rob looked after my dog extremely well, he and his family were incredible with my dog and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others :) She actually didn’t want to leave!! Thank you Rob and Family!”

“Amirah and her husband Ben are amazing with our dog! They live in a wonderful home which is safe for pets and will always provide updates daily on their visit. We wouldn’t send out dog anywhere else!”
About: Have always had a dog either within the family or as my own companion. I am now retired and looking for flexible work doing what I enjoy and so walking with a dog or two seems like a good place to start a new chapter. Especially when you can hand it back to the owner when tired (Like grandchildren). I'm retired and so available 7 days a week from early morning to late evening as required. Unless if I have something else booked. When walking your dog they will be kept on the lead and walked at their pace. I will need to discuss their needs and habits with you to stop me being dragged in to local sausage sellers shop.
About: Hi there, If you are a local person in need of a dog walker or someone to take care of your furry friends, I'm more than happy to help. I have my own pets: a cat (distant but loving 9yo British Shorthair) and a dog (very friendly and food obsessed 6yo Japanese spitz) and appreciate the importance of having someone local you can trust when needed. I work a full time office job with work-from-home days however I do have the flexibility of scheduling lunchtime and evening playtime or walks, depending on your pet's individual needs. I will ask that a 'meet and greet' is arranged prior to any bookings being made. Whether it’s a short or a long walk, playtime or just quiet company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Thanks for reading and please feel free to ask me any questions, Regards, Andreea I'm currently mainly working from home so have a lot of flexibility to acomodate the care of your pet(s) during the week and I am free all weekends. I live in a house with fenced garden with my husband, 1 cat and 1 dog. They're very friendly and like engaging with other pets
“Jasmine looked after Hunter today, our American Shepherd, and he looked happy and relaxed when we picked him up. She sent lots of pictures and videos which were really appreciated. Her garden was fenced and of good size for a medium-large dog. We are very happy and we'll definitely book again!”
“We are so happy we found Nick and Kaja! They had Toby at short notice and we were at ease immediately after meeting them. Toby clearly had a lovely day and we had photo updates of his walk which was really appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
About: Had family pets throughout my life and have cared for and walked my friend’s and family’s dogs when needed. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions! 🐾 I’m currently working shifts so have plenty of time to care for your doggo! I’m an early bird, who loves being outdoors. I’m usually out running on the mendips or down the strawberry line. I have a large dog-proof garden with plenty of room to run and play. There are no dogs living at my home so can cater for reactive or nervous dogs too!
“Thank you so much and particularly for very last minute booking! From the photos - he clearly had a great time, I felt he was left in very good hands and I was able to go out to the theatre! Huge thanks 🐾🐾”

“Teddy's daycare with Fran was everything we could have asked for. She sent us pictures during the day and Teddy looks to have had a great time on a walk in the woods with other dogs. He seemed reluctant to say goodbye! Will definitely be using Fran again. Thank you!”
“Ryan and Rebecca looked after my dog on fairly short notice, found the time to do a meeting and greet before hand and were both extremely friendly and easy to deal with. Arguably more importantly, they were excellent with the dog, showed a real interest and care and sent me multiple photos of her throughout the day. Throughly recommend and would absolutely use again.”
About: My first pet was a cat when i was 7 and it lived 21 years. I have always loved pets and now have a 6 year old Tibetan Terrier who is great around other dogs. I work from home so am able to give your pet company and attention. My garden is completely walled in so your dog is able to go in and out as they please. I work from home and there is always someone in to keep your pet company. I walk my dog every lunchtime and evening down the strawberry line or in the fields so they are well exercised. I have a fairly large house with a walled garden and wooden floors downstairs. I also have a friendly 4yr Tibetan terrier for company. There are dog beds and a sofa with blankets on.
About: We have looked after a number of dog breeds over the years, supporting with day care activities or pop in sessions to check/take-care of needs We work flexible and there is always someone at home. I’m an early riser so ready for some early walks or to take care of morning activities. We have a good size garden (part fenced). We have a large downstairs area for dogs and cats to find their spot to relax at.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs through family pets for many years, and for the past three years I’ve been the proud owner of two dogs, Teddy and Aya. They’re both energetic, loving, and very social dogs who keep me active and on my toes every day. Caring for Teddy and Aya has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, basic training, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable in my care. They love being around other dogs and especially enjoy playtime, so your pup will always have friendly company. While my experience hasn’t been professional, I truly love dogs of all breeds and sizes and treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care and make sure your dog feels happy and at home while you’re away. I’m always happy to send updates, photos, and messages while you’re away so you can see how your dog is doing and feel at ease. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I treat every dog with the same care and love I give my own. I currently work part-time from home, which allows me plenty of time to give your puppy lots of attention, care, and play throughout the day. I’m available Monday through Saturday and can be flexible to meet your pet’s needs. I have a fenced front porch as well as a garden where dogs can enjoy fresh air and supervised outdoor time. Inside the home, dogs are welcome to relax freely and be included in daily activities. At night, I usually allow dogs to sleep in the bed with me for comfort and companionship, but I’m also happy to use a crate if that’s what your dog is used to or if you prefer. I always follow the pet owner’s instructions regarding routines, sleeping arrangements, feeding, and care to ensure your pet feels at home and well cared for.
About: 📍 Currently actively booking for mid August to mid September 2026 with very flexible availability 📍 Hey there, my name is Rebecca! I'm a 27 year old vet student and pet sitter. I have lots of great experience with a variety of species through my vet training and life in general! I have been involved in both the cattery and dog shelter of the Galway SPCA. I also worked closely with small mammals, and rescued my colleagues from a loose ferret once! I discovered a love of sighthounds in particular and always really enjoy working with them. I have been casually pet sitting for the past five years, until last year when I began using another app that was popular in my area. I had several regular dog visit/ walk clients - new puppies to the more mature. I am happy to do on and off-lead walking, where appropriate and safe. I will follow instructions on whatever training you are working on with your pet. I am confident administering medication. Unfortunately, I cannot accept very strong or difficult to handle dogs due to chronic back pain. I would be keen to build a trusting relationship with any pet I care for and strive for respectful and honest communication with pet owners. I give pets my full attention and aim to leave them tuckered out but happy! I send a detailed update after my visit including some photos. I'm always careful to include any concerns. ✅ Please Note: House Sitting: I am not currently staying overnight in client’s houses. This option is suitable if you would like to have me sit with your pet during the day/evening, while at work or socialising. Please get in touch to discuss! 😊 Boarding/Day Care: I live in an apartment which has a small balcony and unfenced patio space - suitable for quick potty breaks. There are lots of easily accessible nice walks in the area for longer exercise. Walks: Available to pick up/drop off and supervise visits to local secure dog paddocks. My Uni schedule varies each week but I will aim to keep my calendar as updated as possible. I am keen to build a base of regular/semi-regular clients, having recently moved back to North Somerset. There are times when I am required on-campus 9am-5pm but I do my best to be flexible. Do get in touch if there's anything you'd like to discuss - I'm more than happy to answer any queries 😁 I am always careful entering and exiting the house to prevent any escapes. I diligently use any equipment or restraint advised by owners to keep everyone safe. I always do my best to read an animals behaviour so as not to cross their boundaries and ensure everyone is as safe and happy as possible during the visit. I welcome owner advice about individual pets as they usually know their animal best!

“Stan loved Natalie as soon as she came for his trial walk, which reassured me he was in good hands. I received lots of photos of Stan on his walk and when Natalie left him to go stan wanted to go with her! I feel very happy leaving him in Natalie's care when I go away.”
“Christine was so lovely to me and Ted, I felt that conversation came super easy and naturally. I was kept updated and everything was logged perfectly. I believe she was the perfect match for Ted as he can be a little difficult- he looked so happy ☺️. I will 100% recommend Christine and will be booking again 🫶”
About: I’m Lauren, an outdoorsey freelance medical writer and experienced dog sitter living in Somerset. I love hiking, running, exploring in the campervan with my partner Kevin, and of course dogs! I grew up with two springer spaniels so I have been a dog person as long as I can remember. A few months ago I returned from a campervan trip around Europe with my partner Kevin where we met lots of friendly dogs and cats (as can be seen in my photos!), which inspired us to start dog sitting here in Somerset. We have been dog and house sitting via TrustedHousesitters for a barbet and separately for three cockers spaniels (including a crazy 6-month old), doing repeat sits for both. As a freelancer, my schedule is part-time and flexible therefore I can be flexible on timings for walks. Kevin works in-person but will join dog walks in the evening. I grew up in Axbridge so I am familiar with walking routes around Somerset. I am a home worker so I am often out on walks and runs myself to break up the day, so it would be great to have a dog join me! My workload fluctuates without fixed working hours so I can be flexible on timings I will of course follow any guidance or preferences from the owner. I will always bring the essentials for each dog and I’m happy to send photo updates and to walk in familiar areas for the dog if preferable. I will also be insured for dog walking before accepting my first client.

The safety, wellbeing and tail wags (or purrs!) of your pet are my highest priority. I'm also happy to undertake other tasks such as watering plants, taking in mail, turning lights on and off etc. to ensure your time away is as stress-free as possible.

About: I started my Veterinary Nursing training when I was 18 years old and have not looked back since!

In addition to my extensive Veterinary experience I have also grown up with dogs and love to care and support them in all stages of their lives!

About: Hi, I’m Leah I started offering pet care in June, and since then I’ve really enjoyed getting to know lots of lovely dogs and pets and gaining hands-on experience caring for them. While I’m still relatively new to professional pet care, I’m reliable, caring and take the responsibility of looking after someone’s pet very seriously. I grew up with and cared for my own English Bulldog, who was 10 years old when she sadly passed away last year. She was a huge part of my life and helped me realise just how much I love caring for animals. I’m fully insured, DBS checked and have completed a dog first aid course, so your pet’s safety and wellbeing is always really important to me. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their individual personality, routine and needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit or overnight care, I’ll always treat them with patience, kindness and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates so you can see how they’re getting on while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and give them the care and attention they deserve! I currently work 26 hours a week over 4 days, so I have regular days and times available for pet care. I currently work: Tuesday 9:30-4 Wednesday 12-4 Thursday 8:45 - 5:30 Saturday 8:45-5:30 I’m happy to work around my schedule where possible and can offer walks, drop-in visits and overnight stays. I always make sure I only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, so your pet gets the time, attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in their own home, I always aim to keep them comfortable and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding times, walks, medication and any other specific needs your pet has. I understand that leaving your pet and home with someone new can feel daunting, so I’m respectful of your space and take their safety and wellbeing seriously. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I have valuable experience in providing day care and maintaining daily routines when taking care of a variety of breeds, including both dogs and cats. I have developed a strong understanding of animal behaviour, handling, and basic pet care through hands-on experience with my own dog and cat. I am extremely friendly and compassionate and love all animals which can be shown through my genuine and kind nature. I am currently working which part-time allows me to dedicate additional time to pet care, offering flexible availability for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting services. I also drive, enabling me to travel easily to clients’ homes. My work schedule changes every week and I am able to change shifts to suit clients schedules when needed. I would care for pets in their own home by following their established routine, ensuring they are fed, exercised, comfortable, and well supervised. I would provide companionship, keep the home secure and tidy, and send regular updates to give owners peace of mind. I am extremely friendly with all animals and have a big heart which allows me to be compassionate and approachable for all furry friends!
About: I have owned cats and horses my whole life and have dog sit on Rover for around 2 years. I have received 5* reviews from all owners. I have done walking, day care and boarding for long durations and have loved providing a safe and happy environment for every dog who has stayed. Having owned cats and horses my whole life I have a good attention to detail and make sure to cater to every pets specific needs. I am a patient and kind handler and a true animal lover. My two horses are pictured in the last slide. I am currently in my final year of studying an equine degree at Hartpury University, specialising in horse behaviour and welfare. I come home to Cheddar most weekends, when I am free to look after your pets. My weekday availability varies so please message if you have any out of hours requests and I will do my best to accommodate. I’m fortunate enough to live on a quiet private lane with a secure and gated patio and a small grass garden. We are tucked away from main roads and don’t get any through traffic. When staying overnight in my house I have the option to section off parts of my house with a baby gate or leave open the whole of downstairs which is plenty enough space for a larger dog. My house is very quiet and peaceful and so if your dog prefers a quieter environment they will be more than happy. I also have heaps of cozy blankets but please feel free to bring as many of your own as you like.
About: I have grown up around animals my whole life from cats, dogs, horses and lots of others. I currently have availability throughout the next month for dog walking, dog sitting, drop-in visits, cat sitting/ drop in visits. I’m a reliable and caring animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. I’d love to help care for your furry family members! I’m currently a self-employed cleaner and I'm looking for extra work in the week, this gives me time to do drop ins, or take your dog for a lovely stroll. I will provide a calm and loving environment for your pet to enjoy their visit with us. I have an enclosed back garden to give your pets a safe and secure outdoor space if required. You're more than welcome to visit our home to see if we have the appropriate environment for your pet prior to booking.
“Emily has been fantastic in supporting care for our lively puppy. Nell really enjoys her time with Emily. Emily has been really easy to communicate with and leaves great updates too. We hope to continue to ask Emily to care for Nell more.”

“Theo had the best time with Zack once again. His first long weekend away (which we were kind of nervous about!) but he was absolutely settled. Even made himself a new best friend with the neighbour's dog - a pleasant surprise for us! Couldn't recommend Zack enough and already planning for the next one :)”
“We wouldn't have anyone but Natalie look after Stan while we are away. He loves his stays. This time Stan had his own holiday with Natalie & family! She always makes sure to send plenty of photos & videos so that I can see he's happy & having a great experience. The best dog boarder !”
“Magnus stayed with Fraser for four nights and was well looked after. We got plenty of photo updates of nice long walks and a video of Magnus fast asleep and snoring. We know he's in good hands!”
“Andre was an absolute life saver having Hugo at short notice, he has an amazing place with so much room for the dogs to run around. He kept me updated and reasssured the whole time which I really appreciated, thanks again Andre”
“This was our first time leaving our two (very energetic!) spaniels with Aleksandra and we could not be happier! Meg and Moss were clearly well looked after, walked well and very happy when we picked them up. Aleksandra kept me updated lots throughout the day which I really appreciated and was super flexible with picking up and dropping off. We will definitely be back!”
“Nina was fantastic, very attentive and adapted to our dogs individual needs. Leaving two young dogs with anyone is always nervy, but Nina did a great job, putting me at ease with photo and video updates and even gave some great advice for us going forward. Will certainly use again!”
“We left Duque, our old dog, with her for 3 days and we are very happy! Good communication, good care, good people! We thank them from the bottom of our hearts for their patience and understanding especially because Duque also had health problems! We recommend her!!!❤️ Irina , George and Duque !”
“Becky looked after our puppy at her house for the afternoon. Second time looking after him. He came home very happy and clearly had a great time. Brilliant care and communication again.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter for Obi while we were away for our wedding. From the moment they met, Obi (who is usually quite nervous around new people) took to Fran immediately, which gave us so much confidence. Throughout the two nights, Fran kept us updated with lovely photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease and meant we could relax and enjoy our special day knowing he was in such caring hands. It was clear that Obi was happy, well looked after and genuinely cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fran to anyone looking for a kind, reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our boy!”
“Lovely experience for our dog. Hazel got loads of walks and was treated like their family pet so didn’t have a chance to miss us. Becca and Ryan sent regular photos to put our mind at ease and we didn’t have to feel guilty about leaving Hazel behind when we went abroad as she had her own beach holiday. Would recommend and use again .”
“Amirah and her family took great care of Bhuna. Lot of updates and photos on how she was getting is always reassuring to see she's having a good time. Would definitely recommend Amirah for anyone who's dog likes being in a family environment. Would happily book again.”
“Skye had a great time with Nick. Lots of lovely walks and play time. I had updates everyday which is reassuring as it was the first we had left her for a week. Would definitely recommend Nick Skye was so well looked after and settled in very well.”
“Amy had our dog for an overnight stay and he had a fantastic time - lots of walks, cuddles and snoozes which is just what he likes. She was super responsive and took some lovely photos so we always knew he was happy.”
“Anna was very understanding of Banjo’s needs, as well as caring, considerate, and a pleasure to deal with - would be very happy to have Banjo stay over anytime - he was very well looked after :)”
“Josh is very experienced with looking after dogs, great at keeping you in the loop and updating you. He had my Border Collie for a week and handled her brilliantly even with her sometimes moody attitude.”
