“Elena was wonderful with our young collie Nova. Very caring. Nova adored her and they had a fun time playing games. It was a one-off evening sitting, based in our hotel room. A strange and restricted space for sitter and pup but Elena coped well. Elena was very thoughtful, made sure to ask all the right questions before we left, and kept us updated with beautiful photographs of a happy dog. Nova can be energetic (she’s still young!) but we had complete confidence in Elena. Would definitely recommend and rebook if back in area.”


“Oliver is a kind, friendly person who adores animals. He house sat for us over Xmas and New Years looking after our dog and cat. He put our minds at ease and made our trip more enjoyable knowing our fur babies were well taken care of. Highly recommend 10/10”


“Would definitely trust Laura and Tom with Snoop’s care again. They accepted my booking fairly last minute which was very nice of them. Tom and Snoop got along super well and Tom took excellent care of Snoop. I received updates and pictures of Snoop having a good time basically.”


“Szimonetta was a great sitter! Communication was easy and we had a good chat a few days before the sit. We got lots of pictures of Frankie and Griffin and they seemed to be living their best lives while we were away. I would absolutely book Szimonetta again and recommend her to anyone else looking for a sitter their pets will love!”


“First time leaving our puppy over night with someone else. Theodora was a fantastic sitter and took all the stress away so we could enjoy our event. She was punctual and professional. Our puppy took to her almost immediately, you can tell that she has a lot of experience and love for dogs. Theodora also kept us updated to date with photos and little snippets of their adventures which really helped keep our anxiety in check! Can't recommend enough!”


“Jianming was ansolutely brilliant, she looked after my dogs so well and my cat let her give him a tummy scratch - unheard of. She is a natural with animals. I’m so pleased to have found her.”


“Sareena helped us out at very short notice and was fantastic. Reliable, punctual and great with both dogs. Pics sent through the day and we were really happy to have her in our home. We will be asking her back and would recommend her highly!”


“Would highly recommend Caterina - she is professional, communicative and caring. Caterina sent us photos and videos of Daphne and Betsy every day and they were clearly very happy and relaxed in her company.”


“Yushi is very calm and caring. She looked after Pongo, our greyhound, very well, dealt with the shoes she has to wear for her walks easily and kept in touch. We came back to a relaxed dog. Recommended.”


“Lidia was absolutely brilliant with our slightly standoffish rescue dog Chip! Great communication, very patient with him & looked after him really well. Sent lots of updates and pictures and we felt really reassured whilst we were away. We have never left Chip with a sitter before so this was a great first experience.”


“Thank you Francesca for looking after Monty so well! We really appreciated all the updates and photos Francesca shared and she followed our instructions for him perfectly. Will be booking again very shortly!”


“Kipper had a great time with Daniela. We got multiple updates about their adventures every day. We are lucky to have found Daniela and we thoroughly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter. Thanks again ❤️🙏”


“Paul was fantastic! My dogs have higher needs and are on medication and he was able to take it all in stride. We came home to happy and healthy dogs, and were able to have a great day out with no stress.”


“Had a really last minute request and Nicole was so quick and responsive and accommodating. It was obvious Brutus felt safe and happy as soon as she arrived so obviously some super strong dog energy vibes. Couldn’t ask for more really! 10/10, five stars”


About: I love animals and the outdoors. I would love to go for walks and have company during the day. I have started a job where I will be working at home so looking for a dog that I can keep company and take for walks on my lunch break or before/after work. I would be available for walks or even just to dog sit during the day. I have a large bedroom and small backyard for day sitting. I grew up on a small block of land in New Zealand with dogs, cats, sheep, cows, goats, chickens and many other animals. Since being overseas I miss having animals around so would love to look after your dog when you are busy. Please let me know if you are looking for somebody during these times. I work from home Tuesdays and Friday so am available to dog sit during the day. I am also available for dog walking before 8.00 and after 5pm Mon-Fri. I am also available some weekends. I have a large large house with a small backyard. I have two other housemates who are sometimes around. Both love animals however I would be with them at all times.

“Rebekah was wonderful and great! She is a delightful and respectful person who took such good care of our spikey. She is trustworthy and keeps us updated whilst we were gone. We have also further booked her for another house sit in the next few months :)”
