“Our experience with Kate has been, once again, amazing! Luna absolutely adores her, and Kate makes sure to always send lots of photos and a meaningful summary of her visit, which takes away all the stress of leaving your pet with someone else.”


“I was thoroughly impressed with Sarah. She visited my home before I went away and listened carefully to all instructions, asked questions, took notes and kept me reassured whilst I was away with regular updates. On my return home, I found everything clean and tidy. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful pet care.”


“Teresa was absolutely incredible. From our initial meet and greet you can tell that she absolutely loves animals. I was really nervous leaving my cat Annie since she is timid and doesn’t like new people. However, Annie instantly went up to Teresa when they first met which she never does with new people! I felt comfortable leaving Annie with Teresa since I knew she would be in good hands. Teresa was incredibly accommodating and sent me photos with every check in. She’s an absolute star, I’ll most definitely book her again next time I need a pet sitter.”


About: I will be happy to take care of your dog(s) either for walks or home visits during the week or at the weekend. I have a 4 years old girl cookapoo myself who is very well behaved. She likes to socialise with people and other dogs, and always ask for lots of cuddles I will be able to share with yours. I can adapt to your dog(s)’s routine and provide any specific attention him/her/they will need like administering oral medication. I’m currently at home and would be delighted to take care of your loved dog(s) for walks or home visits either during the week or at the weekend. I usually walk my dog three times a day having small breaks for her needs in between, however I will adapt to your dog(s)'s needs. I always make sure pets feel safe and have easy access to fresh water. I like to give them the space they need when they either want to play/exercise or to rest.

About: I have experience of looking after cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters & fish. I am a huge animal lover who is trustworthy and reliable. I have a lot of free time and would really love to spend this walking and taking care of dogs and looking after pets in their homes. Whilst I am unable to look after pets in my own home (we have three dogs) I would be happy to care for pets in their own homes.

“We are so grateful for Sarah! She took such wonderful care of our cat, Liam. He’s usually quite reserved, but he immediately warmed up to her — a true sign of her gentle nature and experience with animals. It’s rare to find someone who can make an unfriendly cat feel safe and happy, but Sarah managed it effortlessly. Knowing Liam was in such good hands gave us real peace of mind. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and truly gifted cat caretaker!”
