“Lucy continues to be an amazing dog sitter. I always feel like I can relax knowing that Rollo is getting looked after by her. Lucy sends lots of updates and pictures which I’m so grateful for. Would absolutely recommend Lucy!”
2. Nova C.
“Nova came and looked after our dog Maya for the night when we were away. Nova was great, Maya can be nervous with new people but settled super quickly which is always a good sign! We got lots of lovely updates and pics and would definitely book Nova again if we went away! Thanks again x”
3. Benjamin James H.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Ben look after my home, dog, and cat for two weeks and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, he was incredibly reliable, communicative and caring. My dog and cat were clearly well taken care of; they both seemed relaxed and happy when I returned. Ben sent regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. The house was also spotless upon my return, which was an added bonus. I highly recommend Ben to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring house sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!”
4. Leanne S.
“Leanne looked after our two dogs Betsy and Grace yesterday whilst we were at a wedding. She was absolutely tremendous and our dogs seemed to really enjoy her company and were relaxed with Leanne in the house. We now have a fabulous option in terms of Leanne being able to look after our dogs. She is a lovely person and we would have no issue in recommending her to other people.”

“Bridie was awesome. She came in, looked after the girls who seemed to have a lovely time, I messaged a few times a day for updates and got them promptly. She left the house immaculate. Couldn't ask for more.”
6. Amy B.
“Amy is one of the loveliest people I know! She is an experienced dog owner who is used to anxious dogs. She treats all animals with love and care as if they are her own. Amy is kind, responsible and will adapt to suit you and your dogs needs. My puppy absolutely adores her and gets so excited to see her. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for someone to care for their dogs.”
7. Megan B.
“Megan looked after my pets so well while we were away. She made sure my puppy socialised with other dogs and even did some command training. Would definitely recommend Megan.”
8. Sophie A.
“Sophie is fantastic. We went away 9/9-17/9 and Sophie stayed in our house to look after whip. She bonded really well with him and us on our initial meeting and we knew she was the perfect choice. I received daily updates from Sophie with how whip was doing which really eased my mind. Whip loved having Sophie stay and I will be definitely rebooking again!”

10. Lorna P.
“Lovely Lorna! Our dog Loki loved spending time with you. Polite and professional communication and a warm nature. Will definitely be using your services again!”
11. Cara B.
“I could recommend cara to look after any dog. She is reliable, caring honest. She can always help when I require help even at short notice. My dog knows cara so well that she just trots off with her and even jumps into the back seat ready for a walk. Cara's knowledge of animals is applicable and always gives a 5☆ throughout what she does. I would definitely recommend to anyone.”

About: Hey! I am Georgia and I just moved to Cudworth with my partner and Puppy Madeley! We have also since added to our brood with our rabbit Brodie! I love nothing more than my fur babies so why not extend this passion by providing fellow owners with some help! With my boys I know how difficult it can be managing everyday life and their care and I am here to help you in any way I can. I have had family dogs my whole life and I truely believe a house is not a home without a dog. I treat every animal with love and respect as if they were my own. I have experience with Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Guinea pigs, Hamsters and Fish. I don’t think their is an option on here but I am happy to drop in to look after your smaller pets whilst your away and do feeds or just give them some company 🐰 As someone who has grown up around animals for 24 years I understand the importance of having someone you can rely on! Feel free to drop me a message x update my calendar weekly! 🗒️ I can do early morning walks, or later afternoon or evening walks. There is nothing like a good bit of fresh air! I will provide the best care for your animal I can, providing you reassurance your furry best friend is in the best hands. I will send you updates if you wish.📸
13. Leah S.
“Leah did an amazing job at taking care of our dog Mabel whilst we were on holiday. Leah arranged a meet and greet and we were able to discuss Mabels care/ routine. Leah provided us with daily pics and updates (we asked for plenty!) and Mabel always looked so happy in her care. Mabel had plenty of cuddles, play time and walks. We’ve come home to a happy dog and clean house and Leah will be our first choice when we go away again. It is clear that she absolutely adores dogs 🐶”

17. Georgia F.
“My family love our dog like she’s a child , they were hesitant to let someone come and take care of their baby overnight. We were elated to find out Georgia had treat her like royalty updating us with pictures and videos of their adventures and play times whilst we were gone. We never felt as though we were pestering her when we were asking almost every hour for updates, Georgia made it very clear that we could check in every minute if we wanted to. She really did go above and beyond for us!”
18. Naomi M.
“Naomi has looked after our dog, Peppa for a week in our home, as we wanted our dog to feel reassured. We had a few introductions so our dog could get to know Naomi and this worked well. Naomi had a good way with Peppa and she sent us photos of Peppa and we could see how happy she was. Upon our return we came back to a very clean home and a happy dog. We would recommend Naomi.”
19. Barry M.
“Barry has looked after our 7 year old miniature schnauzer on many occasions over a number of years. He loves our dog as much as we do, with twice daily walks and lots of love and attention. We get regular updates on how he is doing so we never need to worry about our little member of the family when we are away on holiday. 🐶”
