6. Fanny B.

“Fanny jumped in to help me last minute due to a conflict. Zuva is very excitable and jumpy. Fanny took that in her stride and immediately made him feel comfortable. Almost immediately he was comfortable enough to play with her and fell asleep as well. Fanny was so patient and kind and I am so glad she had a great time with Zuva.”

“This was our first dog sitting experience with Rover and with Anna - we could not recommend Anna enough! Our mini schnauzer Monty loves Anna and she has been a pleasure to communicate with. Anna has been responsive and on time and is really lovely. We will be booking Anna in for future sits!”

11. Tetiana Z.

“Outstanding!!!! Tetiana looked after our 8 month old puppy for 3 nights in our home whilst we were abroad and what an amazing care he received!! Can not thank her enough!! We came back to a happy pup who’s been cared for beautifully. Walks were enriching, pictures sent in the morning and every walk. Instructions followed and his routine stayed the same. Our home looked after. As it was our first time leaving him for several nights (Tetiana looked after our dog during the day previously when we were unable to be with him, always brilliantly) we were naturally very anxious but we shouldn’t have been as she’s so responsible and caring. 100% recommended”


12. Aleksandra G.

“Aleksandra was an excellent cat sitter! She looked after our cat and stayed in our home for a few nights. She was highly professional, responsible and we were reassured that our cat and home were in good hands. She sent regular updates and we got home to a happy cat. We will definitely use her again when we go on holiday and would highly recommend her to others.”


13. Lois R.

“Lois was absolutely amazing. Best dog sitter ever! 😍 Lizzie spent the best time with her over Christmas and she treated our fur baby like her own! We received lots of pictures during our hols which was really nice. When we came home, our flat was sparkling clean and Lizzie super happy. Would definitely recommend. Thank you so much Lois for everything!!! 😊😊 will rebook again for sure!!”


14. Sally H.

“Sally was fantastic and Jethro, our 1 yo pup, loved having her as a companion for the long weekend while we were out of town. Sally took time to meet us beforehand and get to know Jethro to make the most out of the weekend. We came home to a clean house and exhausted pup from a fun-filled time. We'd highly recommend Sally and definitely will look to use her again for our next pet sit!”
