“Had such a brilliant experience with Leanna - looked after my cat with such great care and shared so many lovely updates with us whilst we were away on holiday. We had total peace of mind :) thanks Leanna!”


2. Claire V.

“Honestly the best cat sitter ever. I have never came across anyone so genuinely caring, passionate and professional. I had pictures and updates regularly and I did not have to worry for a second about leaving my kitten while I’m away. Claire is absolutely amazing and I am so happy to have found her.”


3. Sophie G.

“Sophie is great. She’s professional, responsive and friendly. She took a great care of our house. But the most important – our cats really liked her. They got cuddly very quickly and enjoyed Sophie’s company. We could not recommend her more.”


4. Evan B.

“We literally had an emergency trip to Birmingham and needed a sitter before we left in 4 hours. Evan agreed to take Nigel 2 hours before he left and thank God he was only 15 mins away! We dropped Nigel and knew he was in safe hands simply by meeting Evan and seeing how cool he was and the great taste in his housing decor! Evan kept us up to date with photos and messages, we felt really at ease. 48 hours later at collection time, Nigel was so chill and it's because he had bonded with Evan so naturally in such a short space of time. I highly recommend Evan, he is a great pet sitter!”


5. Laura B.

Becky has looked after my dog Lily numerous times and every time she cannot wait to see Becky, lily leaves and comes back so so happy! She’s great at sticking to routines, whether that’s feeding times, walks, or just giving pets the attention they need. She also loves being outdoors, so dogs especially will enjoy plenty of fresh air and exercise. Becky is a lovely human and will treat your pet with the upmost love and respect!!!”

18. Sophie M.
About: I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting since the age of 12, so your loved ones will be in experienced and caring hands! I grew up with Labradors and have experience with a variety of breeds from Jack Russells and Cockapoos to Bernese Mountain dogs. I’m currently taking a career break so your pup will have my complete, undivided attention! Their wellbeing and experience is my top priority with no interruptions or distractions. I follow any requested instructions in your home to granular detail. This includes reinforcing any training activities such as behavioural or crating. My own home has a fenced garden which includes a turfed area.


19. Suzanne C.
About: I have a nearly 2yr old French Bulldog and would love to socialise him with other Dogs(similar) to provide him with company during the days I am working from home. I WFH 2/3 days a week and pretty flexible on those days. I can provide 2 walks a day and general play and interaction/basic training. I can provide a playmate for another dog and provide daily exercise and general daycare. Both dogs ideally need to be familiarised prior. I have a fenced garden and am within 15mins to the forest with a car. I am a Frenchie Owner so patient and can understand the mental stimulation they require. My preference is to provide a daycare for 1 dog and provide a playmate for my dog.

About: Hi, we’re Jo and Gabriel, a couple of pet lovers who are passionate about providing the best care for your furry friends! I (Jo) have been walking my neighbour’s dog regularly and frequently pet-sit for my friends, while Gabriel grew up with family pets, so we both have lots of experience with animals. We’re super active and love getting outside, so if your dog needs long walks or extra exercise, we’re more than happy to provide it! Whether it’s an energetic walk, a fun adventure, or just some quiet time at home, we’re here to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved. We’re also the type of people who can’t resist stopping to say hello to every dog we meet on holidays, at parks, or around the neighbourhood – we truly enjoy connecting with animals. We take the time to get to know each pet’s unique routine and needs, ensuring they’re always comfortable and well-cared for. You can trust us to treat your dog like one of our own, offering plenty of attention, affection, and reliable care. We can’t wait to meet your pup and provide them with all the love they deserve while you’re away! Any questions, please feel free to ask! Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily routine as we both work from home and have flexible working hours. This means we can easily adjust our schedules to accommodate walks, playtime, and other activities with your pet. Whether it's a morning walk, midday play session, or evening cuddle time, we’re always available to ensure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need throughout the day. Our flexible work setup allows us to provide consistent, reliable care without compromising on quality time spent with your furry friend. At our home, we have a fenced garden that’s securely enclosed, providing a safe and private space for pets to enjoy some outdoor time. We live in a spacious one-bedroom terrace with a large living room that has plenty of room for a crate, and wood floors in case of any accidents. We’ll make sure to spend plenty of time outside on walks and adventures, ensuring your pet gets all the exercise and fresh air they need. If we’re looking after your pet in your home, we’ll stick to their routine and create a comfortable, loving environment.
