“It’s so nice to be able to leave the dogs and know they are in great hands, received regular updates along with photos. Really truely great service and will be booking again 😊”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! Chelsea's communication was brilliant and gave me updates throughout her stay and the house was left very clean and tidy. Our dog Goose immediately loved her and enjoyed lots of cuddles and play time! She took the time to learn about Goose to make sure that all of his needs were met so we felt completely comfortable leaving our dog with her. Will definitely use Chelsea again and highly recommend her!”
About: Daily routine care for my pet rabbit and experience with cat sitting and occasional dog sitting for friends and family. I have also had various small pets previously. I’ve recently left education and am now working part-time with minimal commitments through the week so I am available for both long and short stays! I love animals and give them my full attention and respect, lots of hugs and cuddles! I’m quite active and hyper aware of my surroundings meaning that I’m always looking out for anything that would put me or the pets in harms way.
“Jayne was absolutely fantastic looking after our two dogs during her overnight stay. From the moment we met her, she was warm, professional, and clearly cared about making sure both the dogs and we felt comfortable. She took excellent care of our dogs, keeping them happy, well looked after, and settled while we were away. We returned home to two very content pups and could tell they had received plenty of attention and care. Jayne was also incredibly respectful of our home. Everything was left spotless, clean, and tidy, and she treated the house as if it were her own. The attention to detail was exceptional — she even folded the ends of the toilet rolls into neat little triangles! It was such a thoughtful touch and showed the pride she takes in what she does. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jayne to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“I have never left dotty with someone that isn't a family member so was a little nervous. But clare totally put my mind at ease by sending daily updates and pictures. Dotty also liked clare giving lots of cuddles. Will definitely be contacting clare again as she looked after dotty like she was one of the family”
“Aaron was great, he was reliable, sent pictures and took Bally out to the woods twice for a walk which was really appreciated! Bally was in a great mood when I got home and tired out. Would certainly book with Aaron again”
“Bea was a delight. The dogs were very happy when we returned after a week away. Very neat and tidy and lots of communication too! Would definitely recommend and are planning to book again in the future!”
About: I’m an experienced and reliable pet sitter with an extensive background in house and pet sitting across multiple platforms. I’ve spent years looking after both cats and dogs, including periods of full-time sitting, and I now also offer dog walking and drop-in visits for both cats and dogs. I’ve cared for many different pets, from senior cats and shy rescues to high-energy Border Collies and laid-back Bulldogs. I’m able to adapt to different personalities, routines, and needs, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, relaxed, and well looked after. It's my top priority! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My main job is exclusively online (I've been a freelance translator and proofreader for over 10 years), and I set my own working hours, so I am able to do walks and drop-ins at any time during the day, offering you the flexibility you need. I have several years of house-sitting and pet care experience, with consistent 5 star reviews highlighting both my pet care and how well I look after owners’ homes. Some of these reviews are available in my gallery. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I stick to their usual routine to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I take time to understand each pet’s needs. I’m respectful of your home, clean and tidy, and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. With me, you can rest assured that your pet(s) will be in safe hands and will be loved and well looked after. I love animals, and their happiness, safety and wellbeing is always my first priority!
“Samantha was amazing with our dog, she stayed at our house and spent so much time playing with him and taking him for walks. We had daily updates with videos and pictures and our dog had a great week. Thank you so much. Highly recommend. Samantha is extremely knowledgeable and we felt very confident leaving our dog with her for a week.”
“Ali was absolutely brilliant in helping us out last minute to look after our 3 Labradors on the evening of our wedding. They all had a lovely time and a wouldn’t hesitate to ask Ali to care for them again. Thank you so much Ali.”
“Becca is absolutely amazing! Eddie loved spending time with her and she made me feel completely at ease. You can see how much she cares for animals and has so much knowledge about them! Eddie can’t wait for the next sleep over!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was little, we’ve always had ones of our own and I’ve always been an animal person, I enjoy chilling out with them or going for adventures. I’ve been trusting to look after them while friends or family have been away and are always happy to do so I have a cat and dog of my own, they need to be fed, walked and cared for daily. They are part of the family and they fit into my day to day activities I have a walled off garden and a dog that loves playing and chilling with other animals, she’s very low maintenance and is always happy making new friends
“Jo is amazing 🤩 she saved me filling in last minute notice, my furry friend loved her the moment she walked through the door they was bonding together and playing, 😃 Jo sent me regular updates videos and pics I couldn’t of asked for more she was absolutely perfect. So pleased and for sure will use her services again and recommend her. Great great great 👍🏼”
About: I have over 6 years’ experience living with and caring for dogs in a family home and regularly look after my parents’ dog in my own home. I’ve also helped care for pets for family and friends, including feeding, walks, playtime and keeping to their usual routines. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and understand that every pet is different. My home is already well set up for pets and I know how important it is for owners to feel comfortable knowing their pet is safe, happy and well looked after while they’re away. I am mostly available for boarding and sitting over the weekend but my partner also works from home and has flexible working arrangements during the week and would be able to look after a pet from our home where needed or come and visit your pet to let them out for loo breaks and take them for walks. My partner and I dog sit frequently at my own home so the house is safe and well equipped for dog/pet sitting. There is nothing particularly fancy I would be concerned about a pet damaging we have been used to all kinds of messes. The house is locked, there is plenty of clear floor space and we have a sizable fully fenced off garden that a dog can be let outside freely without need for close monitoring. I am confident dog sitting in other homes also, being responsive to any mess, leaving the home in good condition and making sure the owners dog or cat is looked after and feels relaxed.
“Bradley came and looked after Archie who has separation anxiety this evening and was fantastic. After meeting him last week, Archie was super excited to see Bradley again and felt really comfortable. What was excellent was Archie was comfortable enough to keep his normal evening routine of food, crazy time, rest time and being chilled. Bradley kept us up to date with messages and pictures which was highly appreciated. So all I can say is thank you Bradley for allowing us the freedom to have an evening out together just the two of us for the first time since February! Would highly recommend Bradley looking after your beloved pooch! 5 stars and more!”
“Katie looked after our Ragdoll cat in our house for two weeks for us and her care for our cat and our home was faultless. Katie sent updates and pictures of our cat whilst we were away and it is evident she always puts the pets needs first. Having Katie as our sitter meant we could relax whilst we were away knowing our pet was safe and cared for. We will absolutely book Katie in again in the future!”

Olivia was an excellent dog and house sitter. She looked after our two with care, and with the sort of kind enthusiasm that the dogs love. She was not phased by a last minute dog guest joining the two residents, and took it all in her stride. We came back to a tidy house, happy dogs, and watered plants. We felt confident in Olivia, and she was excellent. She communicated well, was engaged, listened to our routines, and has been great.
Amelia was a delight to have to look after Monty. From initially contacting her to the meet and greet, all went smoothly and on the day she was booked to dog sit she arrived on time. Amelia was exceptionally good with Monty playng with him when required and feeding him at the requested time. When we arrived home after 11 hours away he was fully content and happy to be in Amelias company. Amelia is polite and professional in her manner and we would have no hesitation to book her again when we require someone to look after Monty.
Big thank you to Zofia for looking after our dogs and the house so well. She sent pictures of the dogs enjoying themselves while we were away and they seemed very happy when we arrived home. Everything in the house was cared for, the plants watered and the kitchen tidy. We will definitely invite Zofia to look after the dogs again in future.
