“Once again thank you and your lovely family for looking after Bo for us. He likes it there so much he didn't want to leave again. This is the second time Bo has stayed with you and he always comes home happy and chilled out. I suspect he loves being spoilt by your two daughters. Good luck with the new puppy. Thanks again Kevin and Gina”
“Karen is lovely and very friendly, Teddy had a great time staying overnight with her. It was our first time leaving Teddy with a dog sitter, so we were a little apprehensive, but we had no need to be. We have booked Karen in agagin already! Thank you so much for looking after Ted so well Karen. See you next month xx”
“Amanda was absolutely fantastic and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She is a very kind, warm and caring person who took excellent care of our two Jack Russells. Will definitely be using her services again. Nel and Daisy thoroughly enjoyed their stay!”
“Amazing from start, communication prior to, and during boarding was fantastic. Melanie so thoughtful, flexible and helpful throughout, Our dog had a great holiday, we were so reassured, especially as first time for us to be away from her, and she not had huge social experiences. The daily updates and photos were so appreciated. Will definitely be visiting again”
“As this was my first time using Rover or any kind of boarding I was a bit apprehensive but Alisha and her partner Sean were absolutely amazing. It was clear Hudson felt right at home straight away. Alisha sent regular updates with pictures of Hudson enjoying his walks and adventures.I Will definitely be booking Hudson in again. Thank you Alisha! 💗”
“I had to find somewhere for my Taffy to stay overnight very last minute and found Olly, he replied very quickly and communication was perfect, it was such a relief to find someone so friendly and great with Taffy and seeing the photos he took was so good sending mind at ease Thanks again Olly, I'd highly recommend using him to care for their loved dog”
“Julie was an excellent pooch sitter for our nervous chihuahua. He INSTANTLY loved Julie, she has a calm and nurturing demeanour and our dog was at ease the moment she opened the door (where usually he is quite nervous with people he has never met before). Julie was excellent to communicate with, she was happy to meet our dog at her home for us to ensure that he was acquainted with her and felt comfortable, we felt very confident to leave our dog with her following this visit, her home is secure and homely; a home from home for your pet’s visit. Thank you for taking the best care of our pooch Julie, he returned home content and calm and visibly well cared for. I highly recommend Julie to take care of your pet. I will definitely be booking our pooch in for a stay with Julie again in the future. Thank you Julie.”
“Abigail and Jose hosted our rescue pup for a trial night which was his first time staying away from home since we’ve had him. Their care and attention to detail was phenomenal and instantly made us and Tiggy feel safe and comfortable. So willing to work around our dogs needs and he had the most amazing time, he wanted to stay and go on another scenic walk in the countryside. ☺️”
“We wouldn't hesitate to leave Eric with Caitlin and her partner again. They have a real passion for pets and took great care of our greyhound. Good communication and helped us out when our flight was delayed meaning a very late collection. Thanks so much guys!”
“Georgia was brilliant with Woody! Over the past few days he’s had the best time playing with her lovely dog, Smol, and going on plenty of walks. It was clear from the updates that he was happy, well cared for, and treated like one of her own. Georgia went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and entertained, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again, highly recommended!”
“Crystal was very easy to communicate with and very accommodating for a last minute booking. She kept us very well informed of how Bryn was and what they had been upto during the day. I would have no hesitation in booking crystal again.”
“Lowri and her family looked after our two springers like they were their own. We had regular pictures of beautiful walks and updates on them. They were considerate of each dogs needs and we would love her to have them again.”
“Gloria took such good care of Winnie. We picked Winnie up and she was very happy. My husband said he could tell Winnie had fallen in love with Gloria. Gloria kept us up to date with Winnie and helped Winnie settle in a new home. Highly recommend for dog sitting.”
“Thanks Sean for looking after Toby for the night great service and was very good at communicating and keeping us updated on how he was settling in with messages and pictures. Highly recommend. Thanks once again.”
“Dora appeared to have settled in quite well with Sophie and her lovely family straight away... I was very happy to have left Dora after an intentional introduction visit, Dora was fussed by both Sophie and her daughters and made very welcome.... I would recommend Sophie and will be using her service's again in the future...”
“Fab experience with Mandy from start to finish, quick replies setting up meet and greet to meet my dog to start, meet and greet went really good, Mandy showed me around her home and talked a little about her routine would be. Communication continued after meet and greet, then when booking came, Mandy was in contact to arrange times etc. Communication all weekend with pictures and videos of my dog. Would definetly recommend!”
“Charlotte was absolutely amazing with Mallow she took care of him for 2 weeks and kept us updated with photos every single day!! I would definitely recommend her to take care of your dog.. and she’s just a wonderful lovely person also I’m so happy we have found someone perfect to take care of our dog anytime we go away now….thank you Charlotte ❤️”
“I was a bit worried about leaving Myloe but he seemed at home at the meet and greet and when we dropped him off. Judging by the photos he seemed to enjoy himself especially with the children. However as Myloe is quite sensitive he did stress as he rarely away from at least one of us and had several accidents. Full marks to Amy who took everything in her stride and let us know how things were going. Thanks Amy for looking after him, trying to destress him and what probably felt like endless mopping up. Myloe came back happy from his holiday and we felt reassured he was being looked after well”
About: Growing up we always had a dog who was a special family member. We had springer spaniels and labradors along with an epileptic white cat. I enjoy spending time with dogs, talking to them, grooming them or just playing. We wanted a family dog for years but as our jobs didn’t allow this in the past we were never able to commit as dogs need so much time, love and affection. My current job now allows me to have the time to spend with your dogs instead. I work from home with a flexible work environment that allows me to spend time with your furry friends. Being self employed I am not at the beck and call of a boss, this allows me to enjoy time with your dogs. We have a fenced off back garden where your dog can spend time safely and the house is also a comfortable and relaxing environment. Depending on your dogs needs, I can accommodate any specific requirements. I love spending time with your furry friends ensuring they feel comfortable in their home from home.

“We were really pleased to find Michelle. She sent us picture and video updates on every visit, allowing us to know that the we’re both well and happy! She even managed to make our cat that’s nervous around new people feel at ease. We wouldn’t hesitate recommending her to others and would definitely have her look after Jess and Nala again! ”
“We can’t recommend Tanya highly enough! She was absolutely amazing with our cat, Luna, during her drop in visits. Luna is usually very shy and wary of new people, but Tanya was so patient and understanding, always letting Luna interact on her own terms. It didn’t take long before Luna was completely comfortable with her, approaching her for attention and even jumping into her lap for cuddles, which is something she rarely does with new people! Tanya was incredibly thorough and did everything we asked during each visit. It was so reassuring knowing Luna was being so well cared for while we were away. We especially appreciated the detailed daily updates, along with lots of photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease and let us see just how happy and relaxed Luna was. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care Tanya gave Luna and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. We’d absolutely love for Tanya to look after Luna again in the future!”
“Thank you for taking care of our Mimi over the last few days. She really enjoyed it and the level of care was fantastic. She had play time, brushing and hygiene all covered. I am sure she wants us to go away more often and we would love to have you back in the future!”
About: I have lived with my cat, Mister Pebbles, since me and my fiance became a couple 5 years ago. In that time he has become my best friend and near constant shadow. Mister Pebbles requires nightly medication on a strict routine, so I am confident in providing the same care for your fur babies too! I am confident in meeting new cats, understand their needs, and am patient with them. Cats are much more friendly than most give them credit for, however they require a lot more care and understanding to form that bond (Which I am more than happy to provide!).
“Robert followed my instructions perfectly, kept me well updated, and took very good care of my beloved cat, Diego. Thank you for being so attentive, Rob! I’ll be booking Rob again in the future.”
About: I've been a dog owner for almost 5 years to my dog Willow. I have experience in home sitting and dog walking for friends and family I will be providing all services whilst I am back home from uni. As I am back from uni I will be at home at all times. I do ask that you quickly check my calender before booking to make sure I'm available and to avoid disappointment. I have a fenced in garden and my dog who is very friendly and gets on really well with all dogs. I will also go to others houses
“Dawson was brilliant. He's a kind, gentle presence and our cat was immediately comfortable around him. Always hard to leave an animal, but we felt reassured with Dawson, and found him to be considerate and reliable.”
“Jess was absolutely fantastic! They were reliable, caring, and gave my cats so much attention and love while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. I came home to a happy, relaxed cats. I highly recommend their service!"”
About: I’ve had cats all my life since a young girl. I have 2 cats at home. 3 year old Minnie and her daughter 1 year old daisy. Both my cats are neutered. And I worm and flea them regular. My cats mostly like to go outside so separating animals is not a problem. My house is clean and warm. I have 2 younger girls 4 and 8. They both love animals and are kind and caring. And I have 2 older teenage girls who can assist with pet caring
“Laura has had my dog a few times now, from overnight to pop in visits. I was very worried at due to never have left him with anyone other than family. Arlo now loves seeing Laura and I would highly highly recommend Laura as she is great with dogs. keeps you updated through the day with info and pictures etc! no reason to use anyone else going forward!”
About: I have her pets all my wife from dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs. I currently have two labradors that live with my mum back in Wales. I’m a big animal lover and have not only looked after my own animals. Also family members pets as well. I have looked after many rescue dogs, whether it be walking or babysitting and I’m currently working with my uncles dog which is a rescue who has severe anxiety and is reactive to both people and dogs. My main goal is to make an animal feel comfortable and safe in its environment. I feel comfortable around all dogs, no matter the demeanour and I am more than happy to spend extra time and care building bonds and trust with those dogs that need a little more TLC. I am a uni student and a part-time NHS employee. My hours are very flexible. I choose my own hours within my NHS job. I am free both within the week and on weekend. My own fur babies have never been crate trained however, they do have their own separate room in my house back in Wales, which they know is there’s. With family members I have used baby gates along with in-house fencing and feel comfortable doing so. I respect the Boundry is already in place by the pet owner, and I’m happy to follow the day-to-day lifestyle that pet is used to. On walks, I am used to both muscles, long leash, short leash and harnesses. I feel comfortable with on leash and off leash walks dependent on the recall training of the dog. I’m also happy to encourage some basic training as I have done with my own dogs over the years.

About: My partner has always been raised with dogs as pets for 20 years, these have ranged from boarder coillies, cocker spaniels, terroirs to Rottweilers. I have alway grown up around family dogs and have loved taking care of them, Our home will be your fur babies home away from home when they stay with us. Bella was the fifth member to our family, sadly we said goodbye to her in May 25. But we would treat your fur babies exactly the same as we treated Bella. We welcomed the newest member of our family; Gwen in April 2026. As a Labrador she is full of energy yet still also very chilled. She enjoys a lovely walk and snoozing on the sofa. Gwen has slotted right in with our family and has also embraced the chance to have furry friends stay with her. She’s a quick learner and soon realises if a furry friend wants to play with her or not. Both of our children have been raised around dogs, and love getting involved with caring for them. I predominantly work from home and my partner works a rolling shift pattern so your fur babies will always have company when they stay with us. Bella is set in her ways however we would be more than willing to follow the same feeding scheduling that you implement for your dog. We would welcome your dog’s blankets, toys and beds to make them feel comfortable during their stay. We also have space for your fur babies to sleep in their create if needed. We have a large enclosed garden that your fur babies will have constant access to during their stay.
About: Hello! Mark here- a friendly, trustworthy and active dog walker with tons of excitable (or calm depending what’s needed) energy. Im an active runner with experience of daily walks with my 18 month old Lab Daisy where she walks both on and off lead confidently. Having been around dogs my whole life we took the plunge and squeezed Daisy in to our already busy life a year and a half ago where she has thrived from a puppy to becoming the friendliest dog there is. I can provide the same energy, fun and care when looking after and walking your doggos. I can walk your dog(s) individually or bring Daisy along should they want a play pal. I work as a self employed camera assistant which means that when I’m not working I am home and available, my schedule reflects this and you can expect my full attention when your pup is with me. We have a fully fenced garden that our own dog uses to do her business. Our dog Daisy is Very friendly and playful with loads of energy but is also fully crate trained should they get too excited and need to be separated. Our cat Margaret is also used to having dogs around, both mine and my mums and tends to go off and do her own thing. She is also very friendly and a proper lap cat. Our two children are at school during the daytime however when they are home have no problems with the boundless energy of Daisy dog.
“We have a senior dog that didn't have the best start in life and has always had a distrust of people she dosnt know. We have just done a test run and left oliver to look after her for a day. We are amazed that she was so happy and content with a complete stranger. We now can plan other days out knowing our needy dog is being well looked after. Thank you Oliver, we will be booking your services again.”
“Tina was able to help us out with our last minute request Bella. Tina saw quickly that we weren’t local so a meet and greet beforehand wasn’t possible Therefore she suggested a phone call so we were able to introduce ourselves, tell her about Bella and ask any questions. Having had that call with Tina we felt confident that all would be fine. On meeting Tina outside her house our good impressions from the call were immediately confirmed. Tina obviously has a deep love for dogs and knows how to care for them - we wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again if we had a similar need and would recommend her wholeheartedly. Bella enjoyed her time and was very relaxed ..,and we enjoyed talking to Tina and her family..”

About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do, it’s my full-time career and my passion. Because I dedicate all of my time to pet care, every dog receives the attention, exercise and companionship they deserve. I provide a genuine home-from-home environment where your dog will be treated like one of my own, with plenty of love, play, cuddles and one-to-one care throughout the day. I take the time to get to know each dog’s individual personality, routine and needs, so they feel happy, safe and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit or an overnight stay, you can have peace of mind knowing your best friend is in caring, reliable hands.

About: I adore dogs. I have experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from large dogs like Great Danes, Bloodhounds and Lurchers to smaller breeds such as Chihuahuas and, now, my own French Bulldogs who I co-parent with a family member. So my dogs are with me twice a month. My father brought me up with dogs, he had seven greyhounds and lurches so I’ve always known a home full of dogs. I understand that each dog has its own personality, exercise requirements, temperament and way of communicating, so I always adapt my care to suit the dog in front of me. Whether it's a long walk for a high-energy dog, a slower pace for an older companion, or plenty of play, affection and reassurance, I want every dog to feel safe, happy and loved while they're with me. Dogs are a passion of mine and one of my biggest interests. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and take great pride in making sure they're well looked after, comfortable and treated as if they were my own. I work from home so I will be at home to give your fur baby my undivided attention! Please get in touch if you have any questions. Thank you, Charlotte Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and part time, which means I have the flexibility to give dogs the time, attention and exercise they deserve rather than trying to fit them around a busy schedule. Walks, playtime, enrichment and cuddles are all things I genuinely look forward to. I love getting outside, whatever the weather, and I'm happy to tailor each day to suit your dog's routine and personality—whether that's an energetic adventure, a relaxed sniff-filled stroll or simply keeping them company at home. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can also provide plenty of toilet breaks, stick to feeding and medication routines, and make sure your dog never feels rushed or left alone for long. I'll care for them as if they were one of my own, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my own home or in their owner's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, relaxed and loved. I know that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, favourite activities, quirks and any specific care requirements before they stay with me. I always aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible, from feeding times and walks to play, rest and bedtime. I believe dogs thrive on familiarity, so I make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and mental stimulation throughout the day, while always respecting the boundaries and training their owners have put in place. Communication is really important to me too. I'll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, settled and being cared for as if they were part of my own family.
“Simon is a fantastic dog sitter, I can highly recommend him. He and his family absolutely adore dogs and give ours 5 star treatment when she goes there. She gets loads of love, play time, cuddles and princess treatment! It’s so wonderful to be able to relax and enjoy a day away from my dog knowing I don’t need to worry at all about her. We receive regular photos and updates. Don’t think twice, you’re lucky to have found this responsible, reliable doggy sitter.”

“Luna was more than happy to go with Mark on the very first visit. She got very excited when he came there second time and by seeing her photos it gives us piece of mind that she is having fun and enjoying her walks especially the getting very dirty side. We can highly recommend Mark and will continue to use him each week if he has availability and would love to see Daisy and Luna together sometime time. THANK YOU MARK”
“Tanya was punctual and notified me when Diesel was being walked, spent plenty of time with him and sent plenty of photos and videos of their walks in the park. Thank you”
“I met Beverley before she walked the dogs, my first impression was a wonderful kind caring lady, whom I knew I could trust, she bonded well with the dogs and we all felt very at ease with Beverley. She arranged every day on time and my friend said the dogs seem to enjoy and look forward to their walks. Thank you very much for putting my mind at ease whilst on holiday knowing they would be exercised. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I have lived with animals in and around my home since I was little, and sincerely believe that pets are as much a part of family as other people. I have experience within the pet retail industry, once working for a small independent local pet store, and have extensive knowledge on pet products and pet care. I have a natural friendship with pets, and having dog/ cat sat for family and friends have cemented myself as their pets best friend- And after many years still receive wagging tails and zoomies when I turn up at their house! Growing up my family dog was a very hungry and very friendly Chocolate Labrador named Mambo, who I delighted in giving copious walks, playtime, and treats. I currently live with my fiance and my cat son, Mister Pebbles, who is the lord of the house. He is seven years old but doesn't act like it, and requires daily medicine and a strict routine. While Mister Pebbles was my fiance's cat initially, I have over the years developed a strong father-son bond with him, and much to my fiances dismay may have become the favourite parent. I have access to my own vehicle, and can be flexible according to both you and your pets needs. I am currently unemployed, focusing much of my time on being a good house husband to my fiance. I intend on pursuing a PhD part-time in the new year, and I am excited to work my pet sitting duties around this. In the meantime I am fully flexible and available, own my own vehicle, and am able to fit my schedule around the needs of yourself and your pet. I am reliable, responsible, and communicative, and will endeavour to supply peace of mind throughout every step of our journey together. As both a pet owner and a homeowner, I fully understand how much anxiety can arise from trusting your home and pets with a new sitter. I am more than happy to field any and all questions you may have for me prior to you making your booking. Even if a quick chat with me would ease your mind, I am more than happy to accommodate!
“Robyn came over to meet my dog Jasper before the walk and he took to her straight away. The photos and videos show he had a great time and it was great for me to see him happy in my absence. I will definitely be booking Robyn again!”

“Alisha & Sean have been fantastic with Millie. After two walks now, I feel really confident leaving her with them - they’re reliable, great with communication, and always send updates and photos which I really appreciate. Millie clearly enjoys her time with them (long walks and happy when she’s back!), and it’s obvious they genuinely care about the dogs they look after. Would definitely book again and highly recommend both of them!”

About: 🔒Secure and safe gated play park walks 📸 Regular pup pictures and updates 🌲On lead forestry walks 👋🏻 Meet & greet before booking 💓 Cared for as if they were my own 🥰 Lots of hugs and cwtches I know how nerve wracking it can be to be without your pet and my aim is to make dog & owner’s experience as stress free as possible! Growing up we have always had dogs and I have taken on a lot of the walking/training responsibilities of both our animals and friends and families. I have lived with and looked after a variety of breeds and have experience with larger dogs too. Myself and my partner would love a dog of our own, but due to work commitments changing in the future I don’t want to commit to a dog of our own and not be able to meet its needs 100% of the time.

However when my partner Becky is not working, we will be caring for your pet together and both love going to long walks and adventures so your dog will get plenty of exercise and entertainment whilst in our care! Currently only offering pet sitting in their own home. It’s important to me that your pet is safe and comfortable in somewhere they know. I will ask all about their routine and how best they usually like to spend their days, so I can continue to make them happy and comfortable when you’re not there.
“Thanks for all your help with Enzo. You were very punctual, with great communication. Your dog handling skills are second to none, and I always felt that Enzo was safe and well cared for with you.”
About: I've been pet and house sitting with my mum since I was a teen. I have experience training puppies, caring for kittens, pet sitting dogs of all ages and have great connections with cats and dogs alike! Couch potatoes or energetic toy chasers, all welcome with me!! I'm a recent University Graduate who's moved home and looking to hang out with some lovely pups. My routine is flexible depending on you and your dog's needs. I live my childhood home with a walled garden only 15 minutes away from Pontypool Park and 4 minutes away from woodlands. I also have experience pet sitting in other homes, always respectful and careful not to interfere with the home or the pet's routines.
About: Hiya, I’m Katya! I’m 23 and have recently graduated from university after spending the last few years studying in Cardiff. I’ve now moved to Cwmbran with my partner and his family, where I’ll be based for the next year. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and have around 10 years of experience being around and caring for them, from looking after my own dogs to helping friends and family with theirs. Because of this, I’m comfortable around dogs of different sizes, personalities and energy levels, and I absolutely love getting to know each dog's individual little quirks! Since graduating, I’ve decided to take some time before jumping straight into a full-time career, which means I currently have a much more flexible schedule. Pet sitting and dog walking gives me the opportunity to spend that time doing something I genuinely enjoy. I’m caring, patient and reliable, and I understand how nerve-racking it can be to trust somebody else with your pet. I’ll always treat them with the same love and care I’d give my own and make sure you’re kept updated while they’re with me. ❤️ Since graduating from university, my schedule has become much more flexible. I still work part-time at a bar, usually on Friday and Sunday evenings and occasionally during the week, although my shifts can vary. At the moment I’m taking some time to figure out my next steps after university, but I still love keeping myself busy! During the week I spend my time going to the gym, attending networking events and working on my own ventures . Pet sitting and dog walking fits really nicely into my routine as it gives me another reason to get out of the house while spending time with animals, which I absolutely love. Because my schedule is fairly flexible, I’m happy to work around you and your pet’s routine wherever I can. care for every pet as if they were my own and understand that every animal has their own personality, boundaries and routine. I’ll always follow any instructions you leave, whether that’s feeding times, walks, medication or any little routines that help them feel comfortable. I’m patient when meeting new animals and will always let them get to know me at their own pace. I’m also more than happy to send photos and updates while you’re away!

About: I have her pets all my wife from dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs. I currently have two labradors that live with my mum back in Wales. I’m a big animal lover and have not only looked after my own animals. Also family members pets as well. I have looked after many rescue dogs, whether it be walking or babysitting and I’m currently working with my uncles dog which is a rescue who has severe anxiety and is reactive to both people and dogs. My main goal is to make an animal feel comfortable and safe in its environment. I feel comfortable around all dogs, no matter the demeanour and I am more than happy to spend extra time and care building bonds and trust with those dogs that need a little more TLC. I am a uni student and a part-time NHS employee. My hours are very flexible. I choose my own hours within my NHS job. I am free both within the week and on weekend. My own fur babies have never been crate trained however, they do have their own separate room in my house back in Wales, which they know is there’s. With family members I have used baby gates along with in-house fencing and feel comfortable doing so. I respect the Boundry is already in place by the pet owner, and I’m happy to follow the day-to-day lifestyle that pet is used to. On walks, I am used to both muscles, long leash, short leash and harnesses. I feel comfortable with on leash and off leash walks dependent on the recall training of the dog. I’m also happy to encourage some basic training as I have done with my own dogs over the years.
About: Growing up we always had a dog who was a special family member. We had springer spaniels and labradors along with an epileptic white cat. I enjoy spending time with dogs, talking to them, grooming them or just playing. We wanted a family dog for years but as our jobs didn’t allow this in the past we were never able to commit as dogs need so much time, love and affection. My current job now allows me to have the time to spend with your dogs instead. I work from home with a flexible work environment that allows me to spend time with your furry friends. Being self employed I am not at the beck and call of a boss, this allows me to enjoy time with your dogs. We have a fenced off back garden where your dog can spend time safely and the house is also a comfortable and relaxing environment. Depending on your dogs needs, I can accommodate any specific requirements. I love spending time with your furry friends ensuring they feel comfortable in their home from home.

Their care and attention to detail was phenomenal and instantly made us and Tiggy feel safe and comfortable. So willing to work around our dogs needs and he had the most amazing time, he wanted to stay and go on another scenic walk in the countryside. ☺️”

“Georgia was brilliant with Woody! Over the past few days he’s had the best time playing with her lovely dog, Smol, and going on plenty of walks. It was clear from the updates that he was happy, well cared for, and treated like one of her own. Georgia went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and entertained, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again, highly recommended!”
