8. Callum I.
About: Hi, I have had dogs and cats in my life since childhood. Mainly dogs, however more recently cats. I have grown up around dogs and love their fun loving nature. Not only have I cared and loved for these dogs I have also helped family members with their dogs when needed by dog sitting for them. After leaving school I attended Sparsholt College where I received a distinction in dog handling. Available Sunday to Monday. Due to playing football on Saturdays I can be out for the most of the day / afternoon and on Wednesday evenings I have football training for an hour. Please bare this in mind and what is best for your dog and or cat. I used to have two dogs who were treated like royalty within our home. They were given nothing but love and affection for their entire lives. All dogs under my supervision will receive respect, care and affection. From start to finish.
9. Tamatha T.
“I have known Tamatha for over 20 years. She loves animals and is also a kind and caring person. Tamatha is also honest and trustworthy. She grew up with two animal loving parents and she continues their passion to care and look after animals. I would recommend her to all. She looked after my two cats for a few days and not only did she care for my cats but she also looked after my home.”
10. Zoe I.
“Zoe was wonderful with our Danes. We couldn’t thank you enough for everything. The dogs were stress free and so chilled when we got back home. Thank you!”
11. Millie R.
“I had a lovely day in London with my family and felt completely reassured and happy that Mabel was being well looked after. Millie messaged me to let me know that Mabel had been for a walk, played and been fed. She also let me know at the end of the day that all was well. I would feel very happy to leave Mabel in Millie's care again.”
12. Scott P.
“Scott has 2 cats at home and is absolutely wonderful with them. He is attentive and affectionate and always puts them first. He always makes sure they have everything they need and is very intuitive to their subtle cues when they need something, or any changes in mood when something isn't quite right with them. I think he'd be great looking after other people's pets as he loves to spend time with animals, whether it's relaxing with them or playing with them, and he loves going out for walks.”
13. Pierre-Julien P.
“Excellent, knowledgeable and clearly very devoted toooking after dogs and making them feel at ease and happy. JP was great with our elderly dog and José didn't want him to leave! Highly recommended”
14. Amber D.
“Can’t recommend Amber enough! Such a lovely person who looked after our cats whilst we went away. She always sent us photos to help ease any anxieties. The cats loved her.”
15. Marco L.
“Marco is an incredibly responsible and organised person who has cared after animals his whole life. He owns a dog, Teddy, and looked after my cats really well when I needed him to. He’s loving and attentive towards animals and he takes great care of them. He is attentive, diligent and highly reliable. High recommend him.”
16. Ayana D.
“Ayana was fantastic, she walked the pups and sent me regular updates which was really appreciated, they seemed to really enjoy their time with her! Ayana looked after the house brilliantly and I felt really comfortable with her being in my home! I would definitely book Ayana again!”
17. Hannah C.
“Hannah is friendly and kind. She was gentle with our dog (he’s a bit timid around strangers) and had great communication throughout! Will highly recommend!”

“Thinzar was really lovely and looked after Nelly very well.”
19. Lauren C.
“Lauren took care of our cat while we were away and everything was perfect. I recommend her with all my heart and I will ask for her help again. Thank you , Lauren !”
20. Anya B.
“Anya is an intelligent, caring and trustworthy girl who has always shown great kindness and care towards animals. She has helped me with my own responsibilities as a pet caregiver and host and so is familiar with the day-to-day needs of animals who are away from their owners. Her understanding of animals' needs in terms not only of feeding, watering and exercise, but also tender care and affection is very obvious when you see her in action. She is also responsible and disciplined and takes any tasks given her very seriously. I recommend Anya very highly as a responsible pet caregiver.”
