“Kirsty is lovely and looked after our two dogs really well, she also went out of her way to come and meet them before the sit which was great. I'd highly recommend her and would love to have her look after Dora and Buster again.”

4. Richard B.
“Richard and Emma were wonderful sitters, I will definately be using them again in the future, they looked after my 2 dogs for a week and I was nervous to have a stranger take care of them but they soon put my mind at ease. Very experienced with all breeds of dog and temperament (i have a reactive one!) they kept me up to date with video's and messages so i knew the dogs were having a great time! I came back to 2 very happy pups and a tidy house, Highly recommended!”
5. Holly C.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Holly as a dogsitter, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Holly was incredibly accommodating and helpful from the very beginning. She took exceptional care of my dog, Zoey, who warmed up to her immediately. Zoey also enjoyed the company of Holly's dog, Diggy, which was an added bonus. I felt completely at ease leaving Zoey with Holly, knowing she was in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend Holly for anyone in need of a trustworthy and loving dogsitter!”
6. Diana Julieth G.
“Diana was absolutely brilliant. From the start of the sit she was asking about “dog and house” issues. We walked the dogs together and she managed my strong dog really well. We had daily updates from her, what the dogs were up to and photos/videos of the attention they were getting. She was responsive to any contact I made. Our house was clean, tidy and the laundry completed. Meaning my return home, I only needed to concentrate on our items. I would certainly book Diana again.”

8. Emma J.
“I can’t recommend Emma highly enough. She absolutely LOVES dogs and has her own. She has cared for Coco, my cavapoochon and I think she loves Emma more than me! Emma is trustworthy and extremely personable. Anyone choosing her to look after their doggies is very lucky.”
9. Kate N.
“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.”

About: Pet Care Experience Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. From a young age, I’ve been surrounded by pets and have developed a deep understanding of their needs, quirks, and personalities. I’m passionate about animals and have dedicated my career and studies to caring for them, big and small. I currently have two wonderful dogs: a 23-year-old Jack Russell and a lively four-year-old Springer/Labrador mix. They’ve taught me that every pet is unique, and I always adapt to suit their individual needs and routines. My dogs are more than just pets—they’re family. We do everything together, and I wouldn’t dream of going somewhere they’re not welcome. Life can get hectic, and as a fellow pet owner, I know how valuable it is to have someone trustworthy to help out. Whether it’s taking your dog for a walk, keeping your cat company, or simply checking in on your pets while you’re busy, I’m here to provide reliable and compassionate care. If you’re looking for someone who’s responsible, experienced, and truly loves animals, feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to chat about how I can support you and your furry friends. Eva :) I am flexible as my studying is remote and I work minimal flexible hours along side it. I can do evening/morning walks, and afternoon walks if required. I can also do night sitting and day sitting. This is a service I don't provide as I have two dogs already and they can sometimes be territorial when socialising in their own home.
11. Charlotte B.
“Charlotte has been fantastic looking after our lil pup, the perfect sitter. Thanks you so so much for all your help, will be sure to keep in touch for next year! 🥰”
12. Gareth J.
“Gareth is a wonderful dog dad to Keith, he loves him so much and is always on hand to play with him. He cares so much about giving Keith the best life and will never say no to doing more than his fair share of walks”
13. Alix F.
“Alix has been wonderful. Kept us up to date and went above and beyond what we expected. Came home to a happy dog, we'll be booking Alix again, she's now done doggy daycare and house sitting for us.”
14. Susan M.
“My Westie, Archie, had a wonderful time with Suzie. He stayed for 2 nights, and she took the best care of him. He's diabetic and needs injections, and Suzie took the time to make sure she could do these before Archie's stay with her. They bonded from the first meeting and I wouldn't hesitate to ask her to take care of him again. She has a natural, relaxed way with dogs and clearly loves them and their needs are her priority. Thanks Suzie. Archie can't wait to stay again 🐶😀.”
15. Catriona D.
“Kat regularly looks after my wolf dog. She’s very receptive to his needs and great with observing his behaviours. He can be a handful and she’s firm with him but never fails to reward him and keep his training up. He’s always excited to see her and a little miffed when she goes. Always a good sign.”
16. Jessica B.
“Jessica was great, kept in touch, the dogs were well cared for and the house was lovely and tidy on our return!”
17. Sophie L.
“Sophie is trustworthy, helpful, reliable and caring. She took care of my dog, whilst also looking after my home, when I was away. I was kept updated at all times and felt very reassured and confident to leave all that's precious to me in her care.”
18. Jade P.
“Thank you Jade both Reggie and Doja were well cared for and I was completely confident that you would look after them. Great photos of them - thank you”

About: I have had dogs in my life since I can remember, our family dogs and friends and other family’s dogs I have grown up around are the highlight of my life. I love all animals, I love hugging them making them feel loved as they do to us, I spoil my dog at home now and she means everything to me like I know a lot of dogs do to there families. We had a very poorly dog at one point and I helepd care for her, also dog sat for my friends for 5 days with one dog that needed tablets 3 times a day which I kept under control so working with poorly dogs is okay too! Puppy’s I know what they are like and will obey the rules given to me to insure the puppy or dog is at its happiest and inline with what their owner requests. I work part time as I am a uni student, when ever I have free time I would pick up a sitting job to get to meet more dogs as I love mine at home and seems like a perfect job. Always ensuring water is full, playing and tiring the dogs or puppies out that need that stimulation. I know certain dogs have food down all day to graze at others have set times for feeding and routines and specific diets, which I am able to follow. Letting dogs in and out for the toilet and some fresh air I know is important, for our dog the doors always open but I understand if the environment isn’t safe for the door to always be open to monitor the dogs at all times and just be within their company. The same goes if the dog prefer to be left alone but jsut needs feeding and letting out for the toilet that is okay too as everyday dog is different.
