“Yang has been incredibly patient with Jesse being overly excited and jumpy. He is a bouncy spaniel! He was very happy to be dogsat for the day and he will for sure see her again!”
“This was our first time having a dog sitter look after Enzo and Octavia made it all stress free, keeping us updated and sending photos throughout the stay. Also left our house really clean and tidy. Will definitely use Octavia again if we need to!”
“We left our dog Enzo with Giovanna for a week and we couldn't have been happier! Enzo took to her straight away and she kept us updated throughout with loads of photos, was super friendly and communicative the whole time, and clearly gave him plenty of love and treats. We'd definitely recommend Giovanna and would happily absolutely have her look after Enzo again!”
“Jingxi.L is a very calm, caring, and patient person, especially with our needy little Boston Terrier “Buddy” 🤍 Overall, we have found today’s pet sitting a great experience, and we will look forward to future bookings.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Erin and we’re so grateful to her! She clearly took excellent care of our dog, Bruno, and the house was tidier when we came back than it was when we left. She gave us lots of updates which we were grateful for. 10/10, would highly recommend. Thank you Erin!”
About: I have grown up around dogs while riding horses since I was a kid. I have spent 18 years in the horse riding club and have plenty experience looking after dogs for friends, family and clients. I have looked after all kind of dogs especially bigger dogs. Each dogs needs are different to others and I provide personalised care around your dogs needs. I may ask a lot of questions but this is to make sure I familiarise myself with your dog, their habits and needs so we both can enjoy our time together. I can provide walks, drop in visits and staying at your house over night. I'm also experienced in providing medication to dogs. I have availability on evenings and weekends. I have my own dog so I don't take dogs home but can play with your dog at yours and occupy their brains with different games so they enjoy their time with me.
“Molly looked after our little old lady pug in our home when we were called away for a family emergency. Our dog is a sweet girl, but is very needy for company and prone to the occasional accident in her old age. Molly sent updates and left our home exactly as she found it. It was the first time we'd gone away without our dog, and it was comforting to know she had such good company. Thank you!”
“Stef took great care of our dog Bonnie while we were away for a long weekend. She was organised, punctual and easy to communicate with! Most importantly Bonnie seemed to have had a great time! Would definitely recommend Stef!”
“Jolene was fantastic with my dog who is blind and kept me regularly updated on how was. She kept good care of my place as well too while she was house sitting for 4 days. Would definitely reccommend to anyone looking for a house sitter!”
“We’d never left eight-month-old Fred overnight before, so I was anxious about leaving him for four days while we went on holiday. Turns out there was no need for worry because Chloe was absolutely brilliant. She stayed at our house for the three nights, and even got here super early the first day so that Fred didn’t have to be left alone when we left for the train station. Chloe was super responsive and kept us updated the whole time we were away. We came home to a very happy puppy and a house that had also clearly been very well looked after. Chloe is friendly and thoughtful and great with Fred. I recommend Chloe one hundred percent and will absolutely be calling on her again!”
“Helen is a delight! Really helped us out at short notice, and took Fred from another sitter, despite not meeting Fred before, and it was a late-at-night sitting. Fred was looked after beautifully, and we could not be more thankful for Helen for allowing us to feel that Fred was in safe hands. 10/10.”
“Emma looked after Misty for us whilst we had a family celebration day. Emma soon had Misty settled and comfy and they had a good day together which included two walks. Emma sent us photos and a video of their outings and Misty looked happy with their adventures. Misty has taken to Emma and we will certainly be using her services again. Thank you Emma for taking such good care of Misty for us.”
“Eleanor was fabulous she sent me lovely updates on how my Barney dog was doing i felt so reassured and she stayed and the home was just as we left it lovely and tidy! Barney had a fantastic stay would highly reccomend Eleanor extremly professional relaible and friendly and will defintely be using again! Thanks so much Eleanor.”
“Brooke was an amazing sitter! She was responsive, proactively sent updates and pictures, forced our Frenchie to enjoy some outside time, and kept our flat in great condition when we returned. Very appreciative of her help and would absolutely have her as a sitter again!”
“Gabby has just finished her dog sit for my little boy, Rolo. I cannot thank her enough! Gabby sat Rolo for 2 weeks whilst we were out of the country. I was nervous/anxious at first because we’d never left Rolo for so long but there really was no need for me to be! Gabby arrived on time as planned, which gave me plenty of time to go through instructions with her and take Rolo for a short walk. They had previously met when doing a meet and greet. Gabby messaged me every day with updates and photos, which I was really grateful for with this being a new experience for us and Rolo. My heart melted when Gabby sent me a photo of Rolo sleeping on his back, meaning that he was comfortable and trusted her. Gabby followed all instructions and checked with me if anything needed clarifying. She even watered my plants! I would highly recommend Gabby and plan on booking her in the future.”
“Thomas was absolutely fantastic with Noodle. He helped us out at the last minute and was on time, professional and asked a lot of thoughtful questions about caring for Noodle. We’d definitely ask Thomas again”

Eleanor is a lovely dog sitter - answers enquiries quickly , is always punctual and very friendly . She has looked after Millie a few times now including this Fri evening and also this Sat . She is always very good with Millie and Millie really enjoys her company -we get loads of pictures of Millie looking relaxed and happy which is reassuring as Millie has separation anxiety . Thanks again for helping us out Eleanor
We have been anxious about leaving our two dogs in the hands of someone else for a long while, however the recent day they spent with Helen at our house could not have gone better, with them clearly being comfortable around her. Our eldest one especially has trouble warming up to other people, so this is no small feat. We are relieved to have found someone who we and the dogs are comfortable with, and as a result would very much like to have Helen look after them again.
Amie helped us out of a tricky situation on Christmas Day by looking after Teddy, our 10‑week‑old Cocker Spaniel puppy. She kept us updated throughout the day, and Teddy was calm and relaxed when we returned home. Amie is trustworthy, punctual, and someone we will definitely reach out to again. Highly recommended
