"I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter
From the very beginning, Ellie took the time to really understand my cats’ personalities, routines, and little quirks, which meant so much to me because Luki and Rex can be quite particular and anxious. While I was away, I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring and attentive hands.
She went above and beyond — not just feeding and cleaning, but genuinely engaging with them, playing with them, and making sure they were comfortable and stress-free. I loved receiving updates and seeing how relaxed and happy my cats were in their own home environment.
It’s clear Ellie truly cares about animals, and it shows in the way she handles even the small details. Coming home to calm, well-looked-after cats was the best feeling.
I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend Ellie to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely amazing pet sitter."

"James took care of my cat, Scout, on a weekend away. She liked him immediately and there were some very cute pics of her snuggled up with him after not long at all - a sign of a good human and connection with animals! Thanks James for taking such good care of my girl. "

"Highly recommend Daniel as a dog sitter. We have booked Daniel a couple of times in the meantime as he is very reliable, great with our three dogs (including a giant dog), sends regular updates and photos, etc.
He house sat for us for several weeks while we were overseas and he looked after the dogs and house very well. Could not be happier. :)"

"I can highly recommend Cathy, she was excellent. My dog Eli and little cat Pan were very happy to have her house sit for us for a week in July. Cathy was very kind to our dog and walked him twice a day. Cathy sent me regular photos of both the animals while we were away. Cathy is a very responsible and caring pet sitter. Cathy left our house very tidy when we returned which we really appreciated. I would be very happy to book Cathy again in future. Thank you Cathy! :)"

"Shannon, is an amazing sitter, very respectful of my home, as well as communication for my cat, was outstanding, when I was worried about him she would update asap, as well my cat being completely unbothered that I left for over 24 hours means she did an amazing job! Couldn’t recommend any higher as well for cost and timing when I needed someone was outstanding! Thank you so much Shannon for looking after Levi! Will reach out again if we need a sitter! "

"I had the pleasure of having Luke take care of my two cats while I was away on a recreational trip, and I couldn't be happier with his service. Luke ensured that everything was kept in perfect condition and was always mindful of my preferences for communication, updating me just the right amount.
My cats were not only well-cared for but also thoroughly spoiled! Luke has a wonderful knack for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. When I returned, my home was left cleaner and more organised than I had left it, which was a delightful surprise.
Overall, Luke was thorough, easy to communicate with, and truly dedicated to providing excellent care for my pets and home. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need, and I will certainly be booking him again. Thank you so much, Luke!"

"If I could give 6 stars I would - I can't recommend Sean highly enough. He house-sat and dog-sat our precious hound Molly for 5-6 days at short notice and we couldn't have been happier. We had never left Molly with a stranger before and given that she's a rescue dog who initially had bad separation anxiety when we adopted her, we wanted only the best for her. On meeting Sean we instantly knew that she would be in good hands. He's a pleasure to deal with and his communication was excellent, his questions show that he really knows and loves dogs, he sent us great photos and updates during our time away which reassured us greatly, and he left the house immaculate. Molly got amazing twice-daily walks and constant company and when we got home she was so chilled and happy and stood in the doorway to stop Sean leaving! Just what we needed, and we were extremely happy and relieved to have Molly so well looked-after. Thank you Sean and see you next time! "
