Natalie is amazing! Always respond to our needs and Rocky’s too. He loves her so much, she settled in so nicely and always treats us and our home with respect. Natalie is very loyal and always helps us out extra if we need. I was a very anxious puppy mum to begin with however she filed me with confidence knowing that Rocky was in great hands. We can’t thank you enough Natalie! x

I have been letting Poppy look after my dogs for about a year now, throughout this year she has proven that she has extreme resilience and has showed great respect to me and my dogs, she is very kind and very caring for the job at hand and I would not recommend anyone better than her. She has provided a great service making sure my dogs were fed the correct food and given water when needed. She is always on the ball and one of the kindest people I’ve met regarding pet sitting wouldn’t recommend anyone else.

Rhianne has been taking care of our dog Ray for over a year now. She takes really good care of him and he absolutely loves her! She took time initially to speak to us, meet Ray and understand his specific needs and schedule. She always checks with us if there's something she's not sure of, and she keeps us updated with lots of pics and videos.

I cannot recommend Charlotte enough, she was so wonderful with our two dogs (one being a tiny puppy) - we received the most lovely photos of them all weekends and regular updates of how they were and what they were doing! Charlotte stayed at our house and it was definitely cleaner when we arrived home than when we left! I will 10000% be booking Charlotte again as we felt like our babies were in extremely safe and experienced hands! It was all a bit chaotic in my house with my kids etc when Charlotte arrived and she didn't make me feel bad about it which was a big relief as I felt really anxious about it already as I'm not the most organised of people 😂 - Thank you Charlotte for making the whole experience stress free and enjoyable xxx

Wow wow wow… what can I say!! Chloe is amazing. She looked after my little puppy from very early on and done 2 days a week for a couple of months, she made us feel very welcome & loved working with Rocky. It’s only now that we’ve decided that Rocky can be left alone for periods of time that we have unfortunately finished working with Chloe but oh my gosh in a heartbeat I would work with her again. Rocky and I will miss you lots Chloe & I hope to work with you again! Thank you love💗xxx

I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my dog! Not only is Joe reliable and attentive, but he really understands animals. My dog Ozzie can be a bit of a handful, but Joe is always so patient with him and Ozzie absolutely loves Joe! It’s clear he treats every pet like his own, and knowing he’s there to give him attention, exercise, and lunch whilst I’m at work gives me complete peace of mind. Highly recommend!

About: I currently have a 17year old jack Russel who no longer requires long walks as she spends most of her days sleeping! I love dogs and would love to help with walking other peoples dogs, I also have had a bit of experience staying over in other peoples homes to look after their animals that way too I work Tuesdays through to Saturdays but finish at 4 on Saturdays so can be available for the night time, I then have Sunday and Mondays off so these days are very flexible! I start work at 12 on Tuesdays so I am also free in the mornings for dog walking etc and can look to see if evenings after work care would work for both of us for the rest of the week I am happy to look after your pets in your home and I will stick to their current routine, they will be well looked after and given plenty of attention!

I’ve grown up with animals all my life and I regularly look after family and friends pets when they’re away are away so I’m quite experienced. I’m currently at university studying philosophy ethics and religion, yet my daily schedule is not very busy so I have plenty of free time on my hands during the week and weekend to spend time with your pups! When it comes to taking care of your pets at your home I shall follow to the t anything you say to ensure not only you animal has a comfortable stay with me but also that they’re safe.

I can't recommend Lisa highly enough! She did an great job taking care of my dog while I was away. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves dogs and takes her responsibilities seriously. My dog immediately warmed up to her, which is always a great sign. Lisa made sure my dog got plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. When I returned, my dog was calm, happy, and clearly well-cared for. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker and sitter, Lisa is definitely the one to go to! Thank you, Lisa, for treating my dog like your own!
