“Yang was an excellent help with our kitten while we were away for the best part of a week. She met with us beforehand to get familiar with the cat, and attended twice a day just as requested, doing the cat essentials but also playing with him. Our cat had a few accidents while we were away, and Yang was so great cleaning up and keeping us updated with everything that happened. We'd definitely consider booking her again. Thank you, Yang!”


“Emma was amazing with our Maisey, who is very fickle and not always the kindest of the kitties. Every day I’d see a photo of Maisey looking ever so happy and content with Emma and her visits. She warmed to Emma very quickly which I was shocked with but it just goes to show. Thank you again Emma.”


“Amelia was a bit hit with our Labrador puppy Nevis! She was very professional and friendly. She gave us a lovely update on the visit and Nevis clearly enjoyed himself! Thank you ☺️”


“I was very relieved to be able to book Jonathan to come and feed Hugo when I couldn't get home until late, but also a little anxious as Hugo is very wary of strangers. I needn't have worried as he was completely unstressed and happily fed when I got home. I could see that Jonathan had cleaned and tidied the feeding area before putting out fresh food and I would definitely use his services again if the need arose. I would wholeheartedly recommend him!”


“Lindsey is so lovely and caring with our puppy! She went above and beyond to come and meet us after her day at work with our last minute booking, super attentive & trustworthy and also asked questions I hadn’t even thought of regarding our puppies need e.g putting music on when she left etc! Lovely updates and I could tell that Joni had a brilliant time with her!!!! Thank you so much Lindsey and will definitely book again😊💗🐶”


“Georgia was lovely, came over before we needed to catsit to go over details, did exactly what she said she would. Tried to fuss out cat but our cat wasn't having any of it. Even posted pictures during her visits”


“Bailey is an excellent and enthusiastic pet-sitter. He came to meet our cat before our trip and asked some very good questions about details that I had forgotten to mention! He kept us updated with daily pictures and let us know about any important changes whilst we were away. I cannot recommend Bailey highly enough and will definitely hire him again if he is still available!!”


“Very happy and superior care is always given to our two girl one year old cats. Georgia is professional, attentive, and helpful. We know they’re in excellent hands with Georgia.”


“Caitlin looked after our two cats and we would not hesitate to book her again! She was very friendly and easy to contact, following all care instructions and getting on well with our boys.”

About: Ive always taken care of animals since being young, families and friends relied on me to ensure their beautiful pets were fed, walked and kept out of trouble. Being in university has left me without this experience so I'd love the opportunity to engage with animals again. Caring, walking or training anything you need I can help with. Being in university means i have plently of time between lectures to get stuck into caring for your pet, in my free time i usually feed the campus birds but Id love to build a connection with something a bit more fluffier. Unfortunately, I cannot offer pet care with in my home due to university rules but within your home I can be trusted to follow pet care rules to ensure your pet has the most pup-tastic time they can.
