“Chloe was absolutely amazing. This was our first time having a pet sitter for Bruce, and we could tell she made such an effort with him and he felt totally comfortable with her around straight away- which gave us such peace of mind and meant we could enjoy our holiday to the fullest! Our house was kept immaculate and she even cleaned, mopped & hoovered before she left, making our return home so much easier. Thank you so much Chloe and we/Bruce look forward to seeing you again in the future❤️❤️❤️”

8. Georgia E.
About: I have always had animals in my life, having my first responsibility for animal care at the age of 9 when I was lucky enough to loan a pony, this gave me a fundamental understanding of the love and care animals need and I have continued my love for providing happy and fulfilling lives for pets since then. I have lived in the same small village since the age of 10 where I now help my elderly neighbours with the weekly dog walking when they need me. I have owned and cared for my pets through each stage of their life, meeting their additional care needs through the later stages of their life providing them with the most comfortable experience possible. I am currently working part time and studying on a Tuesday so I have lots of time to play and fuss over your pets. I am available for boarding on the weekends. I am to prioritise your pets usual daily routine to provide them with the most comfortable experience with me. I will keep your pets company, providing lots of attention whilst keeping up their required exercise.

12. Katie S.
About: I am a fully qualified veterinary nurse and I enjoy looking after and walking dogs in my spare time. All dogs will be looked after in a home environment with someone in the house all day. We are situated off the main road near a public footpath which is a great place for walks, we also have a fenced garden for the dogs to run around in. I am able to care for dogs with specific medical and dietary requirements. I have experience coping with reactive and difficult dogs and am able to provide a routine specific to their individual needs. Dogs can be looked after in a home environment with or without other dogs. Im currently working part time so i look after the dogs when i am not working which gives me lots of time for walking. I list my availability on the calendar so you can see before booking. I have a fenced garden and field walks nearby which gives me lots of options for exercising i also like to take the dogs out in the car for walks further away if they are happy to travel.


13. Victoria C.
“Vicky is an exceptional dog carer, we cannot recommend her calm, patient, kind nature highly enough. She is regularly entrusted with our three very precious four legged family members which is not something we would want just anyone to do! We have regular updates during her visits and the dogs are always happy and relaxed at the end of a 'Vicky' day. Vicky is always on time and 100% reliable in every way.”

“I booked Ruth for a sit and walk. Both dogs absolutely loved her. We met up before the booking so we could make sure the dogs and I were both comfortable and we felt that she was a perfect match. Ruth is very professional and friendly with a real passion for what she does. During the appointment Ruth sent photos of the dogs having a great time. I would highly recommend her and I will be definitely using her services again. Thank you Ruth you helped make our day ?”


17. Alexei W.
“Alexei and Lin looked after our house, our two elderly pets, a cat and a dog, and an extensive garden here in Mallorca last August. During the week and half over here, they have proven to be amazing carers and companions for our beloved animals, which was tremendously important to us, as our dog was in the need for special care. Their love and devotion, attention to every detail of our requests was beyond our expectations. The garden and the grounds were well looked after, which is especially important here in Mallorca in the hight of the summer, and we came back to immaculate house and our happy pets. They kept us updated on a regular basis which gave us a peace of mind during our trip away. We would not hesitate to ask Alexei and Lin to look after our home again and recommend them to anyone who is looking for a reliable couple to take care of their house and pets.”
