1. Danielle R.

“Highly recommend Danii, she was amazing with our vizsla when we went away. She is very professional and knew exactly how to handle him, and spoilt him rotten. We will be using her again for sure. 💕🐶”


2. Courtney B.
“Highly recommend! Courtney looked after my two chihuahuas, Alfie and Valentine, and they absolutely loved her. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly has a way with dogs. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. If you’re looking for a trustworthy dog walker or sitter, she’s the one!”


3. Jess R.

“Jess was AMAZING with our anxious boy Bruno. She kept us up to date with his progress, sent loads of photos (and he looked like he was having a blast in all of them 🤣). The house was perfect when we came home, and Bruno looked so happy and healthy. I can’t recommend Jess enough, she’s brilliant and I hope she can continue to be Bruno’s best friend for a long time! We all loved her 🐾”


4. Sarah P.

“We were very happy with Sarah's care of our dog, who was very happy and content in her company. We got plenty of updates and photos, doggy got lots of cuddles and a walk, and was well looked after. Very happy to recommend, and would definitely book again!”


5. Olivia R.
“I've had Liv care for my cats (Nico and Yuki) and my guinea pig (pumpkin) on numerous occasions when i've been away on business trips, Yuki, who's normally really skittish around people, took to her immediately flopping over for tummy rubs and Nico sounds like a lawnmower because he purrs so much when she's about! On top of that i've asked her to walk a family members dog when he's staying with me and Billy the Pug is thrilled at all the attention he gets and Liv is excellent at knowing when let him take breaks (he's only got little legs) and is always prepared with water and treats in case of hydration or snack related emergencies!”


6. Mairead G.
“Maraed has been brilliant, it was always a worry finding someone to take the reigns with our dog and someone to come in to our home. But our frenchie, Skye, took to Maraed immediately and trust was never an issue. With Skye only being a puppy Maread trained her so quickly to sit, give paw and even lie down. Thanks so much Marie you have been brilliant!”


7. Georgia M.

“Georgia was great from start to finish. She turned up bang on time. She was very easy going and very comfortable with our dog Duke. She provided regular updates throughout the evening, including photos. Would happily book Georgia again and recommend to anyone.”


8. Olivia C.

“Enzo had a great time with Olivia again! We felt very happy leaving him again and had lots of great photo updates. Will definitely have Olivia look after Enzo any time.”


9. Andrew G.
“A brilliant pet sitter who has a real passion for animals and takes care of them with ease and confidence. A real pleasure to work with.”


10. Lauren G.
“Lauren took great care of my dog!! She was pleasant on interaction and very friendly!! She really bonded with peggy whilst i was away and it seemed that peggy was very fond of her also. I would definitely recommend lauren for anybody who needs a dog sitter! Lots of playtime, walks and cuddles.”


11. Nathan C.
About: I have experience with big dogs, having had a Rottweiler, and Huskies, as well as energetic dogs like border collies. I frequently look after a nervous Romanian rescue called Mabel I work from home, so have a lot of time during the day for dog walks, and am always ready to give pats. Having had dogs all my life, I love walking and walk everyday, so bringing a friend would be a bonus! Having had pets, I know that they are always a part of the family. I treat each pet as my own with plenty of pets and encourage positive training!


12. Sarah H.
“Buddy always comes back very happy and tired after being with Sarah. Buddy loves spending time with Sarah and she loves him. Can definitely recommend”


13. Abby K.

“Abby looked after my dogs for the day. She was excellent in handling them and one of them is scared of people so is a little bit more difficult. She had tremendous patience and I was very happy to leave them in her care.”


14. Georgia I.
“Georgia has been brilliant with our Maltipoo, Riley. she offered to meet in advance and did an amazing job at keeping us updated and caring for him, aswell as responding super quick after our request. We will definitely be booking again.”


15. Gabriel S.
“Gabriel dog sitted for me when I had to go on holiday and my dog is very temperamental, in the fact that he has a lot of energy. But Gabriel was brilliant in handling him and his mischievous moments. He was always fed on time and was taken for walks twice a day. He also gave my dog so much attention and love that I was convinced I'd lost him. In short, I wouldn't recommend anyone else to look after my baby and wouldn't trust anyone else to.”
16. Melissa C.
“I have known Melissa for years as a caring trustworthy enthusiastic person. Melissa has house sat a number of times for my bouncy boy chocolate Labrador who adores her. And Melissa loves him too, he is spoiled rotten! I am very happy to recommend Melissa as a responsible loving pet caregiver”


17. Emma G.
“Emma has walked my dog Coco (Chow Chow) for me numerous times over the past 2 years whilst I have had to work. She has also pet sat her for me for a long weekend when I was away. She followed all care instructions and now Coco loves her, they clearly formed a great bond! I would recommend her to anyone as she does great with puppies and older dogs alike.”


18. Abigail S.
“Abigail is a big lover of animals and we've always known her as an animal whisperer. She's baby sat our dog Iroh on multiple occasions and he absolutely loves her. Would highly recommend her if you're looking for a reliable person to take care of your pups.”


19. Abbie L.
About: I’ve always grown up with a dog from since I was a baby until I turned 18 and moved away from home to start university. My favourite part of the day was going home to walk and cuddle my dog. I’m a teacher so I’m currently on my summer holidays which means I have a lot of free time whilst my partner is working. I love going for walks so if I can help someone else out that’s why I’ve signed up to this app. I unfortunately cannot look after a pet in my house as I am not allowed pets in the current apartment I live in. Another reason why I’ve signed up to be a dog walker

“Beth was really lovely with our old sleepy cat and our younger playful cats alike. We returned to a very relaxed trio, who had clearly not felt abandoned while we were away.”
