4. Sam Y.
“Sam is a truly responsible and caring person. She has watched my two dogs many times while I’ve been away and always takes great care of them. She’s taken them on countless walks and ensures they’re happy and well looked after. I trust her completely—so much so that I feel comfortable letting her come and go from my home as needed. It’s a huge relief to know my pets are in such good hands. My dogs absolutely adore her.”


5. Charlotte B.

“I recently hired Charlotte to care for my two cats, Bonnie and Clyde, while I was away on a week-long trip. From the initial consultation to the final visit, Charlotte was professional, reliable, and showed a genuine love for animals. The cats clearly adored Charlotte, and I received regular updates and photos and videos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. The house was also spotless when I returned, which was a lovely bonus. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Charlotte to anyone seeking top-notch care for their beloved pets.”

Friday Saturday and Sundays I am available at any time of the day so I am quite flexible regarding times. Also being a pet owner myself (smudge the cat). I have experience in administering medication and looking after senior pets too. I love walking dogs and a keen walker myself so the longer walk the better. I can handle any size dog big or small. Regarding cats being a cat owner myself I have no problem cleaning litter trays as I know how cats like to be clean. I can also administer medication if needed. But most of all the best the parts is cuddles and playtime so you can trust that your fur babies will not be bored when I’m around.
