1. Paula C.
“I’m reluctant to leave a review because Paula is soooo good, I want to keep her all to ourselves ! Orla and Tess our dogs couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and can’t wait to see Paula again !”
2. Flavia W.
“Flavia proved to be proactive right from our first contact. She offered to visit and meet my dog and me, kept in touch and turned up promptly on the day we agreed. On meeting, she proved to be a real @doggy person” and my normally reserved with strangers dog took an instant liking to her! In the run up to the day Flavia was to look after my girl, she contacted me to keep in touch and enquire if there was anything else we needed to sort out for those days. She arrived in plenty of time on the day, sent me regular updates which gave me so much peace of mind - and my home was left clean and tidy, with one very well cared for little dog when Flavia left. I definitely will be keeping in contact with Flavia and based on my experience, I can wholeheartedly recommend her dog sitting services - she was simply excellent.”
3. Victoria M.
“Vic was amazing with Rosie, gave me regular updates and photos, completely put my mind at rest. I will definitely be booking her again. Vic was patient and reassuring with all my concerns about leaving her and I could go away and feel completely confident that Rosie would be safe and well looked after.”
4. Kamila O.
“Kamila is honestly my go to when it comes to looking after Barley. Barley always has the BEST time with her and he is obsessed. She always puts the dogs needs first, plays with them, takes them out on exciting walks, teaches them new things and gives them so much love and belly rubs. Also not to mention, you always take the best photos 😊 Thank you for looking after Barley - couldn’t recommend enough!”
5. John G.
“We have used Jon for both pop-ins and overnight dogsitting, and I'd definitely recommend him. He gets on very well with our very lively spaniel so I'm sure we'll keep using him going forward!”
6. Jasmine L.
“As always, Jasmine was incredible! We went away for 10 days for our Honeymoon, which is the longest we’ve ever left our pets and I was expecting to feel so anxious. However, Jasmine was incredible with regular updates, communication and plenty of photos. Jasmine made me feel so at ease. We can truly tell that Ham and Arty are in love with Jasmine and they are so well looked after her. I loved hearing how they bonded over the time we were away. Since Jasmine was house sitting, I can’t fail to mention how well looked after the house was as well! I swear it’s more tidy than when we left. We are so happy to have found someone we trust with our pets and will absolutely be booking with Jasmine again!”
7. Hilary K.
“Hilary was great with my sometimes anxious pup. I felt confident leaving him with her and we will definitely ask her again in the future. This was the first time we'd left Badger with someone he didn't know and I was thrilled to get the updates during our day away which left me feeling confident in the knowledge that he was being wonderfully looked after by a lovely person. Many thanks Hilary you made our New Years Eve and sons wedding day so much better knowing that you were taking care of our boy, and he would give you five stars too!”
