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.

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!

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!!

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.

About: I’ve owned and cared for my Jack Russell for 14 years, giving me hands-on experience with daily walks, training, and understanding dog behavior. I know how to keep dogs safe, active, and happy — and I treat every dog with the same care I give my own. I am preferably looking to walk and take care of your canine friend on the weekend however I’ am very open to work on weekdays if offered. In my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely — feeding times, walks, play, and any special needs. I give dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I always keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in great hands.

Aimee helps look after our two dogs, Ollie who is a little terrier cross and Sophie a lurcher. Ollie can be a bit grumpy at times as he is nine years old, Aimee handles him well and is very caring towards the dogs. Aimee also helps with the walking of the dogs and if we are going out for the day she often sits with them to allow them to be able to go out in the garden while we are out. As well as the dogs Aimee likes to go and feed the ducks and other birds by the lake she is a very caring person towards animals.
