1. Kye T.

“Kye has been very helpful in my recovery in looking after my energetic Staffordshire bull terrier. Always puntional, polite and friendly. Would highly recommend.”


2. Katharine T.

“Poco loves her walks with Katharine. We always receive brilliant photos of her adventures in the park and we feel confident she’s in good hands. We feel very lucky to have found Katharine through Rover, she is a lovely person, very reliable and a good communicator. Highly recommended.”


3. Amanda J.
“Amanda has been caring for our dog, Molly, a large, mixed breed rescue with a history of trauma and reactive tendencies towards other dogs. Amanda is one of the most natural dog people I’ve ever met. She’s understands dog behaviour, looks for signs from the dogs is patient, attentive, but most of all, kind. Molly is a difficult dog to walk due to her trauma and reactivity, but Amanda has taken the time to not only understand our training approach, but to even significantly read up on very specific behavioural approaches we’ve been working on with a behaviourist. I’ve seen her interact with other dogs and she’s a natural with them too. In a nutshell, there are very few people we would leave Molly with, and we never question the care and love she’ll get with Amanda.”


4. Poppy H.

“Poppy was excellent with my dog Saul. She communicated very well and took wonderful care of him. Would recommend and will be planning to book with her again!”


5. India R.
“India is the most fabulous pet caregiver, she’s always so full of energy and smiles when she comes to take my dog. She clearly loves animals and has never been late or let me down, super reliable and caring. I wouldn’t use anyone else now to take care of my beloved dog, thank you India xx”


6. Scott B.

“Scott has been so patient and kind with our high energy pup! Rufus is still learning good behaviours and Scott has taken it all in his stride, clearly leaning on lots of experience with dogs and spaniels in particular. Great communication and reliability. Thanks Scott!!”


7. Marta Q.

“Bruno has had two lovely walks with Marta. He’s always excited to see her and she looks after my excitable puppy so well.”


8. Rachel B.
“I have known Rachel for c. 10 years and she is an incredibly trustworthy and kind person who loves dogs. Whether it is her family dog, Mabel, or another dog, you can be sure she will love and care for them as if they are her own. Rachel has looked after my dog, Jax on multiple occasions, including when he was only a few months old. Jax now considers Rachel to be part of his pack and his excitement when he sees her is testament to her dog sitting abilities. I'd highly recommend Rachel as a dog sitter, the only downside is your dog will have such a great time they won't want to leave!”


9. Izzi H.

“Great first walk with Izzi. Izzi took the time to meet Jeffrey and make sure he felt comfortable. I felt she understood his needs and felt reassured he was in safe hands. Excellent communication and updates. We will be booking again 😊”


10. John P.

“From the second John met Buster, I knew he was a dog person. Very friendly and reliable. Will definitely use his services again.”


11. Lilly M.
“Belle used to love her walks with Lilly and always had a good time. Had Lilly drop in to visit Belle a couple of times and she was happy letting her out to go toilet and have a cuddle and play. If she still lived near me would still be using her services now!”


12. Sophie A.

“Sophie took wonderful care of my dog Saul. She was great at communicating before and after the walk. Saul had a great experience and I plan to book her again! Would recommend :)”


13. Emma C.
“Emma took very good care of my cat. She even managed to calm him down despite my absence. I highly recommend her. Everything was done according to my instructions.”


14. Chloe H.
“Chloe is a caring, compassionate person who has a true passion for dogs. She has a genuine love for our four legged family members and always ensures when looking after dogs their safety and welfare is the number one priority. Chloe believes in working closely with owners to make sure their dogs receive the right care and attention and helps to promote a healthy lifestyle by following any walking and dietary guidelines set out. Without a doubt, Chloe's mission as a dog caregiver is to love, protect and have fun.”


15. Connor B.

“I couldn’t recommend Conor enough. Very reliable, friendly and communicative! I am very grateful for your time with Zola. Thank you for looking after her so well. X”


16. Sian P.
“Couldn’t recommend Siân more, she is a dog whisper, and genuinely considerate. I’m was initially hesitant leaving Stevie - with ANYONE, our puppy of 3-4 months, as he not quite trained yet, but also isn’t likely to feel too comfortable in another strangers place. Even after Siân took Stevie in, after just a few hours, she would send me updates, updates I hadn’t even asked for.. because she could tell how much I cared, and they made all the difference. She was so thoughtful with Stevie, and didn’t let him puppy around, kept him in check and took him on looong walks, so much so I would see pictures of him passed out, which would only be a sign he had an amazing time. It was so easy communicating the food, his usual routine (which was constant peeing at a puppy stage) and his tells. She kept him over an entire weekend, and took him out minimum twice a day for long walks. When we picked him up, she had sorted everything ready for him to be picked up. She was a saint. There was no fuss, no challenge, it all came so naturally for her to take care of him. I’d love to have her look after Stevie again, mainly because he loves her too! He was so incredibly comfortable there, and doesn’t even get that way at our family’s houses places. If you’re looking for a kindhearted, dog whisper, with an expertise in how to handle a dog of any and all kind, look no further, cause she is honestly amazing.”


17. Nadya L.

“Nadya is very friendly and communicative. Willow sat right next to her and felt comfortable within seconds of our meet and greet which put me right at ease. They had a lovely walk together and I’m sure willow is looking forward to more walks with Nadya!”


18. Dan C.
“Dan is great with dogs. He has cared for mine on multiple occasions and I always come home to a happy dog. He also sends pictures whilst I'm away so I get to see what they are doing! It is great to know I can trust Dan with my best mate.”


19. Valeria A.
“I hired her service and I was delighted, Valeria is a very professional and responsible person, I will hire her services again, I recommend her!”


20. Renee D.

“Renee is a blessing, Rutger loves her, she always makes sure he gets a good run around, even on his lead and he always comes back with less puppy energy for the rest of the day. She’s always on time, very knowledgeable and so kind. Completely recommend her!”
