Ian
South Walsham, United Kingdom
Experienced dog owners looking to meet new furry friends
After getting let down at the 11th hour by a confirmed sitter, I reached out to Ian and Tracey who had saved my sit previously to see if they could help. Tracey responded very quickly and following a call the next day, we were able to confirm that she would do the sit alone. Tracey was extremely organised and communicative throughout and arrived first thing in the morning to ensure that the cats were not on their own for too long. She sent regular updates about the cats and the fact that they were more focused on getting in the garden when we returned home rather than having a fuss was a sign that they were very relaxed. We arrived back to a spotless house and milk in the fridge for a cup of tea after our journey. Unfortunately we did not get to meet Tracey on this occasion however I hope in the future that she and Ian can be tempted to sit for us again. I have no hesitation in recommending Tracey to look after your home and pets.
William
South Walsham, United Kingdom
A couple who love animals and travel, seeing new places and meeting lovely pets!
Will and Leah were great pet sitters. Their communication was excellent before and during the sit. They sent photos and messages to keep us up to date on how our dog was going. And they left the house in the same condition as we left it. We would recommend and welcome them back anytime 🙂
Michelle
South Walsham, United Kingdom
Home educating mother and daughter team looking to make memories.
Really can't thank Michelle enough. I felt very confident leaving my cat Lola in her care. I received daily updates and photos so I felt relaxed while away. Michelle took care of my home too, so would definitely recommend.
Ros
South Walsham, United Kingdom
Retired Norfolk Couple keen to share their retirement with your treasured pet.
Take my word for it ... Ros and Nick are "SAINTS"! If I could leave them 100 stars I would! They are the most lovely people you could possibly imagine and have sat for me on numerous occasions now. They are utterly trust worthy, and go way above and beyond, and are not only the best house sitters ever, but they cope with everything and anything. Thank you R & N from the bottom of my heart for being truly utterly fabulously amazing.
Steve
South Walsham, United Kingdom
Newbie to Housesitting, but not to pets.
We had the pleasure of having Steve as our dog sitter for two weeks while we were on our belated honeymoon, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, Steve was absolutely fantastic. He cared for our three dogs—a Cockerpoo and two Great Danes—with incredible patience and dedication. One of our dogs took a little while to settle in, but Steve handled the situation with endless patience, ensuring that all our pets were comfortable and happy. He walked the dogs twice daily, which was no small feat given their size and energy levels, but he managed it all with ease and professionalism. Not only did Steve take exceptional care of our dogs, but he also left our house in immaculate condition. We were consistently updated throughout our time away, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our trip knowing our dogs were in safe hands. Steve is a genuinely nice guy, and we would not hesitate to use his services again. Thanks to him, our honeymoon was even more memorable, as we didn't have to worry about anything back home. We are incredibly grateful for everything he did and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone in need of a top-notch dog sitter. Thank you so much, Steve!
Mandy
South Walsham, United Kingdom
Animal loving, responsible zeewoi home owner couple, available for house & pet s
Mandy Peter and summer took fantastic care of our pets. Arrangements and communication were straightforward, and all went to plan. They arrived as promised in the morning despite an early start with absolutely no fuss. We knew straight away that Betty would get plenty of attention, especially from summer. The animals were obviously well cared for, and Betty enjoyed her trips out. Our home was also left clean and tidy. I’d have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Mandy Peter and summer.
Robert

Retired professional and reliable couple
Robert and Heather are wonderful House sitters. The dogs love them and were so pleased to see them again! They look after our house very well and it was lovely to come home to find happy dogs and a clean and tidy house!
Dona
South Walsham, United Kingdom
Recently retired and looking to start a New Adventure
Dona and Colin were extremely organised and kept the house clean and tidy. Pepper was really relaxed when we got home suggesting she was very well looked after and happy with her sitters. Thank you Dona and Colin
james
South Walsham, United Kingdom
Kiwi couple looking to explore Europe whilst working remotely
We were so pleased we chose James & India for our first housesit. They are lovely people who are genuine animal lovers and we felt totally comfortable leaving our 2 nervous dogs with them. We received plenty of updates during our holiday and we could see the dogs were happy and being well looked after. We found James & India really easy going and super enthusiastic, it felt like we'd known them for years! We wouldn't hesitate to have them back.
Audrey
South Walsham, United Kingdom
I am Audrey
Recently had the delightful Audrey complete a 2.5 week housesit in our home to keep our two cats company. Audrey kept us updated throughout her visit with regular e-mails. Our furry friends where happy and relaxed on our return and our home was immaculate. Our neighbours thought her wonderful. The added surprise of supper left in the fridge was a real bonus after our long journey home. I would have no hesitation in recommending Audrey and we would definitely love to have her sit for us again if our travel plans aligned. Thank you Audrey.
Reviews from Dog Owners
Tamar
Julia was an amazing house sitter and dog sitter! She sent me photos and updates every day, she took my pup Jordan on long walks and gave him the love, care, and patience that he needs. She was so easy and comfortable to communicate with and she left the house so clean and tidy for when I came back. Definitely recommend her!!!
Alexis
We had the pleasure of having Maggie (for the second time) to take care of our home and beloved dog Frida while we were away for 2 weeks. We couldn’t be happier! Neither could Frida! Our big dog is sometimes a bit stubborn and Maggie managed amazingly. We had daily photos and video, and Frida was clearly very happy, comfortable and very well looked after. We highly recommend Maggie to anyone in need of trustworthy and dedicated house sitter and animal lover
Tabitha
Such a great family! George, Larissa and their crew were a fantastic bunch. Our large senior dog got an eye infection right before we left for our trip and so we had to ask them to do some extra eye care. When it was clear that it wasn’t getting better they were willing to load up Lorax and take him to a vet appointment and then apply the prescribed ointment for the next week and a half. Definitely above and beyond care that we really appreciated! Our house was left in great shape, our pets were super well cared for, and George and Larissa were great communicators. We have had many many sitters over the past 3 years but this was the first family. Nothing to worry about, they were terrific and we would happily have them back again. Thanks for taking such good care of our fury family and our home!
Megan
Stephanie was fantastic! Very organized and left our house sparkling clean. She also sent daily pictures/messages which we loved receiving. She took great care of our dog and our house. One of the best sitters we’ve had!
Mary
Joanna and David were absolutely perfect!!!! This was my first actual time using a sitter and they went above and beyond what I expected. I have a 1 year old Bully Breed that I adopted 6 weeks ago, so if you know dogs you know what they had to deal with :)) They sent pics daily and kept me updated. We were not able to meet before I left but they were nice enough to stay to meet me when I returned. My house was cleaner than when I left, all bedding and towels washed. Charley, my dog, was happy to see me for a minute when I got home but immediately went back to play with David, so I am thinking she had a blast while I was gone. I am totally sold with this process after having Joanna and David here. If you have the chance to book them for your trip, you will not be sorry. I am hoping to use them again when they return to Florida.

Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.
Kathleen
Lisa was a terrific sitter for our sweet Rosie. She arrived the evening before the sit, and we immediately could tell how much love and attention Rosie was to get. She provided updates and pictures which we were delighted to read, and we could tell Rosie was happy and well-cared for with Lisa on their walks and fetching sessions, on their car rides, and during Rosie’s many daily naps. Lisa left the house in great condition, she’s very tidy and clean. Lisa’s experience with dogs and her friendly, sweet personality makes her an excellent sitter taking good care of animals while also being easy to communicate with. I would recommend her and would gladly invite her back.
Sarah
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.
Sharon
Alia is awesome and we have used her several times. She is a 5 star rated sitter every time. The dogs are happy and the house is perfect when we get home. She even cooked dinner for our arrival home because we came home late. Highly recommend Alia!!
June
I cannot thank Jenny and Geoff enough for stepping in at the last minute after the original sitter cancelled. They are a great couple, friendly , organised and extremely capable. Also they LOVE animals. My dog and cat have clearly been given a great deal of care and attention in my absence. Jenny kept in touch with notes and lovely photos, Geoff cut my grass and I came home to a spotlessly sparkling house ! Thank you so much! Jenny and Geoff are welcome back anytime and I would not hesitate to recommend them as excellent sitters.

We genuinely cannot express how pleased we are to have found Ellie. Our dog, Ted, had a very challenging start to life before we rescued him at 9 months old. He had severe behavioural issues and we were referred to a behaviourist for help. He came on leaps and bounds, but we know that he will always be a bit different to other dogs and need to be looked after with extra care. When we booked a holiday we were dreading trying to figure out what we would do with Ted, so much so, that I didn’t want to go. Kennels were never an option as he simply wouldn’t cope; he is very frightened of men, needs a lot of reassurance and would hate the noisy environment. When we found Ellie it was the biggest relief. She visited our home and spent a lot of time chatting with us to understand Ted’s needs, and Ted seemed to feel at ease with her right away (he is a good judge of character!). We are very specific in that we are positive reinforcement / force free only with Ted, meaning we don’t ‘correct’ his behaviour, don’t shout at him, hit him, or use any harmful methods. He is rewarded with treats for good behaviour and we like to ensure all his needs are met with good sniffy walks, licki mats, kongs, chews etc. I was worried that a dog sitter would struggle to get on board with this, but Ellie was brilliant. She listened to Ted’s story and understood why we were so keen that he never experienced shouting/hitting/telling off again. We could tell from her calm voice and gentle nature that she was a perfect fit for Ted. When we went away Ellie was fantastic at keeping in touch, sending regular videos and pictures of Ted and letting us know how he was getting on. She didn’t hesitate to ask us questions if she was unsure about anything and stuck exactly to Ted’s normal routine. She knew exactly how to prevent issues from arising with Ted and didn’t put him in any situations where there could be a problem, which we were very pleased about. For example, we told Ellie that Ted is very nervous of men and will bark at them, so if they saw a man on their walks she would cross the road with Ted to create some space and help him feel safe. We would also like to note that Ellie was extremely professional and honest with us when one of her own pets fell poorly whilst she was looking after Ted. She had to nip to the vets a couple of times but always ensured that Ted was not left alone for too long and kept us fully in the loop with everything. I’m not sure that I would have been able to carry on with my job and stay as professional and calm as Ellie did if Ted got poorly whilst I was at work, so we are incredibly grateful that Ellie kept caring for Ted in the amazing way she did whilst going through such a difficult time herself. Ellie was incredibly respectful of our home, so much so that I’m pretty sure that she left it cleaner and tidier than when we left! We arrived home to a clean house and a very happy little Ted who was feeling quite sad to see his new best friend go home. Our neighbours even stopped us the day after we got home to comment how happy Ted had looked whilst we were away, and to say that they had heard Ellie and Ted playing in the garden and thought she was brilliant with him. Ellie literally felt like part of the family by the time she left us, and we will absolutely be asking her to come and care for Ted again. Finding someone with proper knowledge, passion and care for animals is rare. We are so glad that Ted gets to have Ellie as part of his life ❤️
Ellie looked after our two spaniels overnight recently. She was great at keeping us updated, sending us lots of photos and was very accommodating with our requests. Would happily recommend her services.
We had a great experience with Floofs and Friends! The service was both professional and friendly. They really understood our pets’ needs and even shared some helpful tips. Our pets are not the easiest to care for, but Ellie was patient, understanding, and made sure we felt confident that they were in safe hands. I highly recommend them and will definitely continue to rely on their services in the future!
Kelly quickly bonded with our reactive rescue dog, Alfie, through a number of 121 walks and getting-to-know-you sessions and then undertook a dog sitting weekend for us which went very well. Kelly is very patient and understanding around new dogs that she meets and soon became firm friends with Alfie. She also looked after our chickens while we were away too!! Can highly recommend Kelly's services as a dog walker and dog sitter. Will definitely book her again the next time we want to go away. Philip (Weybourne)
Very professional and friendly service. Our dogs were really well looked after by someone with a genuine love and understanding of dogs. We had lots of updates with photos/videos. Would highly recommend Ifrah and felt completely at ease leaving our dogs with her. Would definitely use again.
Ellie has been absolutely brilliant with our dogs. She was especially patient with our slightly nervy, reluctant walker. She soon managed to get her out without hesitation, demonstrating an excellent awareness of how to handle the situation calmly and effectively. Ellie is flexible and reliable too, and communicates really well with us about planned appointments.
Our cocker spaniel puppy loves his walks with Ellie from Floofs and Friends. We'd recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker in Sheffield!
What a find….. I was needing to find a dog sitter quite quickly but knew that if it wasn’t the right person I would not leave my dogs… I emailed a few places and Ellie @ Floofsandfriends got back to me pretty quickly. She was informative and reassuring, I then met Kelly who was going to be the sitter… Really the whole process from when I first contacted Ellie to then meeting Kelly, to then her staying and looking after my boys, I can honestly say what a lovely service…. I’ve booked in again & feel very happy to have found Floofsandfriends…. 🐾
Ellie is amazing! She's reliable, trustworthy, friendly and send updates everytime she's with our girls. She understands what both dogs needs are and their different personalities. Ellie's helped us out with overnight stays and day time drop ins, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone with a beloved fur baby!
Ellie is a fabulous pet sitter & we would highly recommend her services. She truly cares about the animals she looks after, giving them a loving & enrichment environment whilst in her care. She provides excellent pupdates, including beautiful pet portraits & treats for owners upon arrival home. Bueno really enjoyed his time with Ellie & we couldn’t have been happier with the services she provides.
