Shaftesbury, United Kingdom
Reliable, calm, caring, non-smoking, retired couple with a great love of dogs.
Shannon, Colin and Bella came for a 2nd sit for our boys and it's lovely to have them. Once again, we came home to very happy and chilled dogs, a lovely tidy house and a delicious home made curry from Colin. We love having them as feel totally relaxed being away, knowing Peanut and Merlin are having their own lovely holiday with days out, lots of cuddles and play time with Bella. Look forward to having them visit again soon.

Fun loving, energetic, adventurous & caring couple that love all animals
Phillipa and David were wonderful, loving and caring with our 6 fur babies. They all looked happy and healthy on our return. Communication was brilliant, we felt we could message any time for an update and we were kept well informed. When we got home Phillipa had a delicious vegan stew ready for us, which we were very grateful for 🙏 Our home was kept clean and tidy and David even did some gardening, keeping our garden looking beautiful. Thank you both so much, hopefully you will be seeing you again next time.

Sarah and Rob, friendly, reliable, house / petsitters
Sara and Robert were perfect guests. Pets looks after extremely well with occasional photos to keep us updated. The house was immaculate with a lovely card and gift on our return. Welcome back any time they are in the area. A+

Professional couple in our 50’s, who can’t wait to meet your adorable pets.
We arranged our second sit with Michelle and Charlie and as before, they didn’t disappoint. Great comms before the sit, and we retuned to an immaculately clean and tidy house as well as a very contented kitty. We can’t speak highly enough of Michelle and Charlie, hopefully we can align the stars for another sit next year. Thanks so much again to you both.

Friendly and trustworthy gal ready to care for pets and homes!
Sophie was bloody brilliant from start to finish. Great communication. Sophie provided regular updates about our pup and was very self sufficient. Left our place in the exact same condition that we left it and we can’t recommend her enough. Thanks again Sophie

Bridget (Bee) sat for us for three weeks this summer. This was the second time she had looked after Maggie and our house, and we have asked her back again this Christmas, which I think says it all! Bee is warm, friendly, kind and considerate. Her first priority is always to make Maggie happy and feel loved, and we have come home to a very content dog, who I think is missing Bee a lot! Bee sent us photos or videos on a daily basis while we were away, telling us what she'd been up to with Maggie. She looked after our garden beautifully - we came back to a perfect lawn and a well-watered, happy garden. It was wonderful to know that she was enjoying the house and garden while we were away, and she left everything spotless. We couldn't recommend Bee enough and fingers crossed she can sit for us again! x

Time for a relaxing break away from home?
Selim has been a regular house sitter for us and we are always thrilled when he can sit for us. The animals love him and we know we are leaving them and the house in safe hands. Highly recommend and wish he could sit for us every time!

Young couple looking to make some pet friends while gaining amazing experiences
Stef and Alex were my first Zeewois and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to start. They took such great care of Chilli and Rocket, sending regular updates with photos of them out and about having a wonderful time on their walks or at home enjoying lots of cuddles. They both clearly really care about the dogs and quickly made me feel very confident that the dogs and the house were in safe hands. They left the house spotless and the dogs were sad to see them leave. Thank you Stef and Alex and I hope we have another opportunity to see you again.
Kathleen was a fantastic sitter and Olive and Noodle miss her already. She was great about sending pictures and updates - never had to ask anything, she always beat us to it. She didn't assume anything that wasn't clearly stated - always asked us beforehand. She was great with our dogs - they immediately bonded with her and didn't want to leave her side. We really appreciated being able to go away and not worry about our pets' welfare, we knew immediately they were being so well taken care of. We hope to host Kathleen again soon!!
Regina did a great job. Showed up exactly when planned. House was cleaner when I arrived home than when I left. She kept in touch to a perfect degree and the dogs were in great shape. Good sitter and would recommend
We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria! She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules. You can tell she truly is a dog lover. Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care. We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here. I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!
Cristina is simply the best house/pet sitter that we have ever had. She is responsible and dependable and an experienced dog owner. Our Wheaten, Bridie, adores her and misses her when she leaves.
Hamsa was very quick to respond in all communication. She was prompt on her arrival and listened carefully to our detailed instructions about the house and dogs. While we were away the amount of communication between us was just right. When we arrived home the dogs were happy and the house was in order. A good sign that a dog sitter paid lots of attention to the pups is when we see a bit of depression set in after a dog sitter departs - this did occur after Hamsa left our home She is a very caring and nurturing individual.
Kristina and Martin were the best sitters we've ever had - we are so impressed and grateful for this awesome experience :) We got so many updates and pictures throughout our trip away and the dogs were super happy to hang with Kristina & Martin! Martin also treated us to a super creative video of the pups and their own staycation - which we absolutely loved. The house was so tidy (i think even more so than we left it ;)) - everything about the experience was perfect. Thank you both again so much and we hope to plan another housesit with you soon!
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
Oh my Goodness! Where to begin. Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia! She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy! What more can you ask for, right? Well with Linda you get all that and more. Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia. The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean! Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!
Melissa and Chris are amazing. We are very picky about our dog sitters, and we chose them because they have been doing this for a long time and track your wants and needs carefully and follow through with utmost care and integrity. They offered to come the day before we left to meet Winnie so that we could rest in that she would trust them and connect to them. Honestly, we would hire them as our only dog sitter all of the time if we could. I cannot thank them enough and say enough good things about them. They also took very good care of our house and plants.
To this list of attributes I would add flexible, capable, sensitive, extremely good with the dogs even if one of mine is sometimes a little ornery, and just a wonderful person all around. Because of constantly changing circumstances due to a move and coronavirus, my dogs ended up spending not two weeks but a whole month with John and they were so comfortable and happy. John helped them in so many ways and coordinated shipping them overseas, he went above and beyond the wildest stretches of what a house sitter entails and did it with a smile and a laugh and reassurances that all would be well. And indeed he was absolutely right - the dogs arrived so well cared for that all my fears of them being traumatized went out the window. John’s flexibility, and his kindness as well as his impeccable maintenance of my house in my absence all make me recommend him an absolute 10 out of 10. Thank you John for all your help this summer!!

Have used Mooches for Pooches for years and would highly recommend them. Very professional and caring team of ladies. Our two little ‘pups’ love their walks with the team. They are well looked after and a note is always left by whoever walks them letting us know how they have been whilst they have been out.
My family have been traveling for 7 months and our dear old dog stayed behind with my elderly parents. I needed to make sure he was given enough exercise and received plenty of mental stimulation so we hired Mooches for Pooches and the gorgeous dog walker Lottie took excellent care of him. I couldn’t be happier with the service and recommend them and Lottie highly. Thank you.
Mooches with Pooches were able to find me a dog walker at about 24 hours notice and the lovely Dawn came and took my dogs out. I felt immediately that she connected with my dogs and she sent a lovely photo of them in our local Meadows.
Fiona house sat our cat and her five kittens for a long weekend and we could not be happier. We had regular updates while we were away and it was obvious that she not only took great care of them but she enjoyed it too. Thank you again from the humans and felines 😻 …
Wonderful company, great communication. Helped me out when my dog care fell through last minute. 2 walks and over night. Lottie looked after my cat and dog beautifully and gave them lots of love and cuddles. House left clean and tidy. Would recommend! I will definitely use them again.
Caroline & The Mooches team have been fantastic with our energetic dog who loves visits from his regular Moocher. We have also used their services for our elderly cat when we go on holiday which has been great to know we don't need to worry while on holiday. Always reliable and love the 1 on 1 attention our dog gets.
Just wanted to pass on my thanks to Caroline and Dawn!! Communication has been outstanding, Caroline managed to fit us in at short notice, excellent service. I’m so grateful, it’s been a pleasure getting to know Dawn this week. Both dogs love her, such an amazing lady. Love the photos, updates and notes left on each visit. And walking our little french bulldog Boris in this treacherous weather today, what a star!!! Couldn’t ask for a better service, thank you so much!!! I highly recommend Mooches with Pooches!!!
We have been using Mooches with Pooches for nearly a year now and they have never let us down. They are always accomodating and friendly. Dawn is fantastic and so caring. Our pup adores her and we are so lucky to have her. We are so grateful to know our pup is in such good hands. Thank you Dawn & Caroline !
Caroline and her team offer a fantastic service: excellent communication, 100% reliable and they genuinely care about the dogs. They have come to the rescue at short notice on many occasions. My two dogs go wild with excitement when our lovely Mooches walker arrives!
Mooches with Pooches have been brilliant. Karen walks my dog Fergus every day and he adores her. He can be quite an anxious dog but whenever Karen turns up his whole body language changes and he comes home from his walks very excited and happy. I’m disabled so it’s a huge relief to me to have a reliable dog walker and Karen generates a lovely enthusiastic energy. Thank you!!
Jess has been incredible with socks (rescued German shepherd). He was nervous and challenging to walk but Jess took him on and he's improved hugely thanks to her hard work and patience. Before Jess, he would collapse at the sight of a lead and run into his bed. He now walks happily, with behavioural issues controlled and improving with every walk! Thankyou Jess!
Jess and Daria have been fantastic with our two springers. I have one very reactive dog that I know is in good hands. They are flexible and happy to help. My dogs love their walks!
Daria is absolutely fantastic with my little dog Bailey. She’s so caring, kind and completely reliable. Bailey has some health issues and Daria has been great; helping to put my mind at rest when I’m worried how he is, giving helpful suggestions that have really helped him; as he isn’t used to be being left. I’m so happy that I found Daria and Jess. Highly recommend.
Wow! A perfect mix of professionalism and a caring, personal approach. I cannot recommend Jess highly enough. She has been amazing with our kitten and it is obvious that she cares enormously about the animals in her care. She is approachable and friendly and a pleasure to work with.
Took my GSD on many walks, very kind and professional
Brilliant service..Thank you girls !
