Rhiannon was a gift at very short notice, flexible and accommodating to ours and the puppy's needs. Very grateful to have her come and check on the boys, feed them and give plenty of cuddles. Knowing they were being love, allowed us to enjoy our evening with ease. Thank you! :)

Myrin,was great,she's a lovely lady,we had a great chat at our home a few days before her first visit to take care of Paddington! He can be a bit shy but came downstairs for food and a little attention! It's always a little worry with someone coming into your home,but we felt all was safe and secure and Paddington was cared for and very happy. Thanks to Myrin..

Karolina is just lovely and we would book her again anytime. She looked after our two cats and litter of four kittens. All were happy and well fed upon our return. Karolina kept us updated during every visit and sent pics and messages. Highly recommended and will book her again next time we go on holidays.

Natalie is a very kind and gentle person who animals are naturally drawn to. She interacts beautifully with animals and they all love her; she loves to play with the dogs when they are energetic but will also cuddle up with them for as long as they like. Natalie is incredibly reliable and I trust her implicitly!

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!

Amy looked after our standard poodle Eddie over 5 days in March 25, whilst we were away we knew Eddie was happy as Amy sent us photo updates of the walks they had been on and it was clear to see how calm and comfortable Eddie was being with Amy. Would highly recommend Amy, we have already booked for Amy to look after Eddie again for a week in August!

Leo has a good connection with animals, he has helped look after my Staffordshire bull terrier Billy many times and also tackling the impossible task of showering him. The bond he has with animals is one to admire for sure, I can safely say I feel extremely comfortable leaving my dog in the hands of Leo as I know he will be safe and cared for.

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've been a dog dad for 5 years now to two small dogs. I'm happy to board for one small dog at a time to be able to give them the attention they need whilst still looking after my own two. I work full time as a teacher at a local high school so I'm free for boarding and other dog care services Fri - Sun and anytime during school holidays. I have a secure, fenced garden with direct access for easy toilet breaks. I usually walk my own dogs at the local parks (Southchurch, Priory, Gunners Park) or on the beach or local nature reserves (Cherry Orchard or Two Tree Island) so they are guaranteed to get some good exercise. When I go out, my dogs have the run of the hallway, kitchen and dog room with plenty of toys, mats and water available. When I'm home they're welcome to chill with me on the sofa or play.

Charlotte is trustworthy and a total animal lover. I trusted Charlotte to look after my elderly cat on many occasions and he was always so well cared for. I’d get regular updates and photos and Charlotte even made sure he had a soothing choice of cat music to listen to!!! He always came away happy and his usual self. Charlotte is clean and tidy and very conscientious. I know she does many housesits for other happy clients and is experienced and competent with different animals including dogs. A kind and caring house and pet sitter that I’d have no hesitation to recommend highly!

Louis has routinely looked after my family dogs on many occasions when we have been busy with work commitments. Ava and Dougal absolutely love him! He cared for Dougal so well after multiple operations on his back legs and helped us ensure his healing process was smooth. Louis took them both on plenty of walks, particularly runs with Ava who is an excited and energetic Labrador, he tires her out so she can have plenty of rest in the day time 😊, I couldn’t recommend Louis enough!

About: My whole life has been surrounded by not only dogs, but a household full of different pets and animals. I have grown up taking care of an array of dog breeds from large German Shepherd to new born Maltese puppies (which I hand delivered and nurtured from birth). Other than my experience caring for animals I also just absolutely LOVE them and could never imagine my life without having a dog. The idea of being able to meet and build a connection with lots of different dogs full of personality is something I find so incising and am open to taking on lots of work. I am a performer by professional and a very active person, so going on many walks and being full of energy for your pet is something I can guarantee. I am very organised and reliable and would be a trustworthy person to look after your fur baby. I am extremely flexible and run my own business working from home in addition to being a performer, which is also very flexible meaning I end up with lots of free time and availability. Max works as a teacher so has availability in all holidays and weekends and between us we make sure someone is always with your dog. I am very safety aware and would never leave your pet unattended in unsafe environments. I can do anything that is required and more than happy to do as many toilet breaks as needed.

Fiona has looked after my dog several times. She has come to my house to look after him and taken him on lots of works. She is just brilliant, genuinely really cares and loves dogs and I know that my dog is in excellent hands with her. She even helps with some training, she's so enthusiastic and sends me lots of videos and photos. She is a lovely dog carer!

About: I've looked after friends dogs for years and am a huge dog lover looking to spoil your pet when you can't. Playing fetch and going for walks. Im retired, fit and looking for more time with my favourite animals. I'm pretty much available 7 days a week. With a big park right around the corner I'm also looking for a walking partner. I have a back yard and can crate your pet if needed. They are free to roam around the house as if it's their own home.
