“I have known Tegan for more than five years now and she is an incredibly reliable and conscientious person, and a good communicator. She grew up with dogs and cats and more recently has looked after and loved a black labrador and has adopted and cared for older cats in their twilight years. She is familiar with caring for a range of dog breeds and adores animals. I would trust her with any pet of mine!”

“Jen has been walking my 2 high energy labs (who can be quite the handful) for nearly 3 years now. She has been there every step of the way since they were puppies! She's provided excellent training tips and tricks and helped massively with their recall! I couldn't ask for a better dog walker, the care and love that goes into every walk is above and beyond! She treats my dogs like their her own family!”

8. Emmily J.
About: Hi there 👋🏻 My name is Emmily. I have had cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs and dogs in my life growing up. I joined here looking for a cat sitter for my extremely fussy Bombay Burmese - I had no idea such a great service existed! Then I realised- I wonder if I can help people too? I work for the NHS so I have a fully enhanced DBS certificate, and I often visit patients homes as part of my job, so I understand the importance of respecting someone’s home and security. I work full time so availability will mainly be evenings and weekends. So if you fancy a weekend away and don’t want to take your best friends to a cattery- get in touch! 🙋♀️As your cat sitter I will: 💖Arrange a free Meet & Greet to get to know you and your cats 💖Provide fresh food and water for your cat daily 💖Clean the cat bowls and litter trays 💖Enjoy plenty of play time and cuddles 💖Send daily photos and updates as required 💖Water plants, tidy up post and open/close curtains/switch on lights as needed. I work full time. I can offer evenings, weekends, and mornings if needed. I can discuss your pets routines with you and find a way to keep to this as much as possible to keep them settled. I have enhanced DBS checks. I ensure properties are checked and locked. I make sure pets are in a safe area with good warmth, ventilation and nutrition.

About: I’ve taken care of my family’s and friends pets since I can remember! I follow any type of instructions that may be needed, either dietary or on walks! I am working a full time job, however I have a flexible schedule. I will be able to visit or walk your pup either in the morning between 7am and 2pm or 4pm to 10pm, depending on my work schedule. I have a fenced garden and a really friendly cokapoo that could be good company for walks if company is liked! I’m happy to help your pup feel at home in their designated areas :)
10. Ana T.
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life, which has allowed me to develop a deep love and understanding for them. My family had a Labrador named Laisa, who was much more than a pet; she became a therapeutic companion for a family member dealing with mental health challenges. Her presence not only supported their recovery but also brought ease and joy to our daily lives, leaving an indelible mark on us all. I have also always been available to care for friends’ pets when they go on holiday, either by welcoming them into my home or visiting their homes to ensure they are fed and well looked after. Additionally, I have a modest background in animal therapy, which has further enriched my understanding of the profound positive impact animals can have on our lives. Before I began travelling and exploring the world, I had a wonderful horse named “Mortadelo.” Together, we enjoyed therapeutic rides and created a unique bond that taught me the true meaning of human-animal connection. All these experiences have instilled in me the importance of patience, care, and unconditional love for animals—values I bring to every opportunity I have to care for a pet. I am available to offer my help on weekends and all day on Mondays. From Tuesday to Thursday, I am available after 8:00 PM. On Fridays, I am available after 4:00 PM. I understand how important your pet is to you and assure you they will be in caring and experienced hands with me. I've grown up with dogs, cared for a family Labrador, worked as a guide dog trainer in Spain, and frequently looked after friends' pets. I offer personalized care tailored to your pet's specific needs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities, and I am dedicated to providing them with the best possible care. You can trust that I will treat your pet with love and attention, ensuring their comfort and security.
11. Emma W.
“I can’t recommend Emma highly enough! She has looked after my dog, Bjorn, on multiple occasions – sometimes just for a weekend, and other times for up to 10 days while I’m on holiday. Bjorn is always so well looked after and comes home happy and content. Emma makes sure he gets plenty of exercise and long walks, and I’m always kept updated with lots of photos and messages about how he’s doing. It’s such a relief to know Bjorn is in safe hands; I completely trust Emma with my fur baby and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Thank you, Emma!"”

14. Charlotte M.
“Charlotte M. was a pet sitter for my elderly cat Mabel when I went away on a few occasions, once for 8 days. Charlotte came over and greeted Mabel before the pet sit and straight away I could see how gentle and caring she was towards her. My cat needs to be medicated and so I left instructions which she followed to a Tee. While I was away in Vietnam, Charlotte sent me photos of my baby Mabel every day. She really eased my anxiety about leaving my darling cat, who means everything to me, and actually was taking care of me too! When I came home Mabel was so relaxed and healthy, I was so happy with Charlotte's care.”
