“We absolutely loved having Jo housesit and cat sit for our little Biscuit. She made us feel so comfortable with little kitty updates and videos. Biscuit also was super happy to have someone give her so much love and attention while we were gone. Perfect!!”

“Sacha was fantastic, as our dogs can be quite nervous as they are rescue dogs, we was very happy to know Sacha could help us out, when we went away for the weekend, from the start she was very friendly and communicated well, in regards to what was required for looking after our 2 dogs, she did a great job taking care of them, and we were able to relax knowing, as she provided us updates to say all was ok. So we are very happy overall and highly recommend Sacha, hopefully we can rebook in the future as she was amazing!”

5. Charlotte G.
“Charlotte cared for our Labrador over many years, walking her and dog sitting whilst we were away. Gypsy loved Charlotte and was always happy with her. I found Charlotte reliable, responsible, friendly, punctual and most of all she has a very caring nature. I would highly recommend Charlotte for your doggy care.”
6. Douglas H.
“Douglas was absolutely amazing with my crazy Spaniel, Daphne. I booked him to housesit for 2 weeks while I was away and as soon as I met him at the initial meeting, I knew Daphne was going to be in the best hands. He took the time to thoroughly learn her routine and behaviours so that she would be happy and safe. Douglas stayed at our home while he was working the evening shift as a supermarket delivery driver and when arriving home at 9pm he took the time to walk and run Daphne still, despite the late hour. I was impressed! He was respectful and responsible and sent the best updates each day and he took Daphne out onto the moors and down to the beaches which she loved! I will 100% have Douglas back to look after Daphne when I’m next on holiday.”

About: I am a mature woman, who has always had a dog and I now have a lovely German Short Haired Pointer who came over from Italy. I don’t have dogs boarding at my home as it would not be fair on my dog but I am happy to pet sit in your home. I’ve had lots of experience- mainly with local clients through word of mouth and through an agency and I’m happy to provide references. I’m not combining Pet Sitting with working full time or studying so I’m free to devote my time to your pets and home. I’m a very experienced gardener and I’m always happy to help with greenhouses and houseplants which you can be sure will always be well looked after. I’ve worked in London flats and remote Dartmoor farmhouses and have been happy to adapt to town or county living. I have experience of many different types of dogs including Poodle, German shepherd,Italian greyhounds, Cockapoo, Golden Retriever, Rhodesian Ridgeback,Spaniels and Terriers but always loved and owned Border Collies, and would be very pleased to take care of this breed that often needs a particular type of attention I use treats to encourage dogs to do what I want and always reward. I don't shout at dogs or use any punishment, particularly with fearful or timid animals. I think it is more effective to reward dogs for doing what you want them to do and cheese works wonders! I can look after all types of dogs except those who are aggressive to people or who have severe behavioral problems. I need to meet dog/s before I can accept a booking and I am not normally able to manage last minute bookings but you can check my calendar in case I’m free. I don’t work full time or study at university so I’m free to offer round the clock care for your pets. I stay in your home so that your pets can have their familiar surroundings and routine. I always offer 100% care for your pets taking as much time as you would in walking and playing with them and I can also offer my help with dogs that suffer from Separation Anxiety.

About: I have my own dog and cat. I have looked after friends and neighbours pets while they have been away. I have also previously done dog walking for a neighbour. I am currently working part time, I have availability during the week and also can do drop ins on the days I do have work. I look after my pets by making sure they are loved, well looked after, well fed and well exercised. I ensure they are both happy and healthy.
12. Karen H.
“I count myself (and my pets) very lucky to have found Karen to sit for us. Planning and communication leading up to stay's had been perfect. Conversation with Karen during the stay was also excellent with regular updates including photos of my dog in various locations on walks…and positions ! My dog Isla took to her immediately and it was evident to see that Karen had a natural rapport with animals. My cat Isara who is extremely shy by nature, took a couple of days to warm up as she always does to people she doesn’t know. I appreciated the fact that Karen really identified with the character of each animal and acted accordingly, giving them love but also some space when needed. On my return my cat seemed the best of friends with Karen. House was immaculate upon return and the pets seemed very happy and settled. Karen is diligent, trustworthy and truly a caring person. I cannot recommend her highly enough. A real gem of a house sitter.”

“Looked after our big boy when my wife was away and I was at work. Kavita carefully followed instructions and didn't have any issues. She was able to bound very well with my dog, very quickly. 💯 better than a kennel, allowing my boy to stay at home in peace. Would definitely recommend.”

16. Caroline B.
“My beloved dog Malik is a rescue dog and very anxious with new surrounding and people, Caroline came to visit him for a meet and greet before she agreed to looked after him and was relaxed,calm and reassuring with him. She instantly put him at ease and he happily engaged with her and was relaxed in her company. I felt in no doubt happy that Malik would be happy, relaxed safe and reassured and well cared for in her care by Caroline whilst I was on holiday. I was leaving my dog in her care for three weeks in my home. On return my home was clean tidy and Malik had been very well cared for he followed her around, looked happy in her care and they clearly and a strong connection. All my fears and anxieties which I had about leaving him to go on a holiday have gone. I would definitely use Caroline service again for any trips away as i know my dog will be well cared for as if it was her own and she respected my home also.”

“Thank you so much Sophie & Nick. My dog is very anxious and has separation anxiety. Sophie & Nick took the time to get to know him and gently introduce him. It's clear to me how much they care about dogs, as my boy was very well looked after. Sophie sent lots of photos snd regularly updated me on how he was managing. Highly recommended and will certainly book their services again.”

About: I’ve owned various dogs for the last 15 years, training them from puppies and caring for them in old age. I currently have a dog who is my world and we would love to bring yours into our lives and treat them as part of our family. I work full time but spend the majority of my free time exploring with my dog and doing things with him, there’s always time for pets! I may not have a garden, but I have a secure pathway outside of my house which is big enough to use as a garden. I have laminate flooring, so no need to worry if your furry friend has an accident whilst with me.

“We stayed at a local hotel to Kate with a six month old puppy who we were worrying about leaving on his own while we enjoyed dinner in the restaurant where he wasn’t allowed. Kate’s communication was extremely efficient and proactive and we felt extremely safe leaving him with her. They bonded immediately thanks to Kate’s kind, playful and calm nature. Wish we lived closer so we could use her regularly!! Do no hesistate to book Kate you will be in extremely good hands.”
