8. Hannah M.
About: Between me and my partner Euan we have over 10 experience looking after dogs. We understand the love and care that goes into caring for a dog and love their company. We would be able to look after a dog at the weekends and during the school holidays. We both work full time. We would only be able to look after pets in our home at the weekends and school holidays. We could also do house visits for cats in the evenings and mornings during the week. We have a clean and welcoming home with access to a garden. We live near a park which is perfect for dog walks and would be able to drive them over to the beach too. We enjoy the company of pets in our home.


9. Aishwarya S.
“As Aishwarya’s father, I have seen her dedication and compassion for animals firsthand through her work at an NGO that focused on caring for pets. She developed an incredible ability to connect with animals and provide them with the attention and care they need. Aishwarya is responsible, and kind, and has a natural way of understanding an animal’s needs. Her experience and genuine love for pets make her an excellent choice for any pet parent looking for a reliable sitter or dog walker. She will treat your pets as if they were her own!”

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, including puppies and elderly dogs. I have provided dog walking services on another app in the city for about a year as well. I have a part time job with an alternating schedule. I can only book up to a month and a half in advance because of this. I live in a flat right on the edge of the Meadows which allows me easy access to green space. I have lived with my flatmates for 3+ years and all of us have pet experience, including both cats and dogs.

15. Zachary L.
About: I’ve raised my own two dogs when I was 10 years old and have fostered many other cats and dogs before finding them a new home I’m only studying right now so I will have lots of time especially during the evenings and night which makes for a good amount of time to spend with your furry little ones I have done pet sitting before back home in Malaysia both in my home and pet owners home. Unfortunately over here I cannot house a pet in my accommodation but i sure can pet sit at the pet owner’s home


16. Emily R.
“Emily is my go to cat sitter whenever I go away for holidays. She is really great with my cat and my cat really loves her. Emily is very friendly and reliable and you can trust her fully with your pets. When Emily cat sits for me, she stays over in my house. She is always very respectful with my home and it is always exactly how I left it when I return.”


17. Christine W.
“Christine is an absolute star of a find as a dog sitter, she bonded immediately with Lucy and cared for her so well in our home whilst we were away. I had total piece of mind and received regular updates. She not only looked after Lucy but also our home which was immaculate when we returned home. I couldn’t have asked for anymore. Exceptional!”


18. Estelle P.
“Estelle and her family pet sat my small dog Casper and I couldn't have found a more loving home to care for him while I was away. They adopted him into their home and, given how attached he was when I came to get him, evidently showered him lots of love and cuddles. Their two dogs were absolutely brilliant with him. Casper, being so small, isn't keen of bigger dogs playing him. However, her two dogs not only picked up on this and gave him his space but I actually saw Casper's confidence around bigger dogs improve after his stay. Estelle gave me plenty of lovely updates and photos/videos. It was really reassuring to go away and know, not only that my dog was being cared for, but that he was having a fun little holiday of his own!”




19. Wiktoria G.
About: I've taken care of pets for neighbours and close family friends, I understand what it takes to care for pets and how important pets are for each person. I'm currently a student with free time for majority of the week, so I can come and see your pets frequently or pet sit for the weekend. I will make sure your pet is securely left and double check for any safety concerns when visiting your pet so your pet is safe and healthy.
