*Experienced Housesitters* Excellent References + Reviews. Professional Married
Melissa and Shane were the perfect cat and house sitters. Our furry Maine Coone, Flint was really well looked after whilst we were away. I received lots of updates and photos of him chilling with them. The house was left clean and tidy. They even picked some raspberries from the garden and froze them for me! I would not hesitate to recommend them to others and hope that they would like to sit for us again.

Julie and Robin's pet sitting profile
It was so lovely to have Robin and Julie house sit for us. The cats adored them and were well looked after. The house was immaculate when we returned and they were very self sufficient. We hope to see you both again sometime

Tanya & Marc...here to help!
Tanya and Marc were great, from the moment we spoke to them on Zoom. We had to a virtual handover due to an early morning flight. They kept us up to date with cat updates, they were really understanding that Yeti didn’t want to come and say hi and made sure he was comfortable outside by putting food out for him everyday. Tali loved the extra attention and I was so happy to come home to a clean house with their sheets and towels clean. Would highly recommend them and would happily have them back.

Friendly, responsible couple who love animals and travel
Stephen and Sarah were absolutely fantastic! They sat for us for 5 weeks and looked after Maple brilliantly. Communication was fantastic with updates throughout the week with photos! The house was immaculate upon return and they even left us dinner for that evening so save us going shopping after travelling and some treats too! The love and care they showed Maple was the best and Maple was super happy and settled with them both. Thank you for everything, we would have you back in a heartbeat xxx

Conscientious and caring family with a love of all animals
Jennie & Alan house/ pet sitted with their daughter over the August bankholiday, which should have been a gorgeous summer weekend but storm Lillian had other plans. Jennie & Alan weren't phased by the weather which blew the bins over & lots of branches on the forest tracks but none of this stopped them enjoying days out & activities nearby. The house was lovely & clean on my return home with bed linen,towels all washed & drying- a few things out of place but Jennie was quick to messege me when I couldn't find things. The birds & cat seemed happy on my return & seemed well cared for in my absense- I appreciated some good photo's & updates on progress whilst away. I was pleased the house plants & greenhouse had been watered as guests often forget that duty. It's a pity we hadn't had an in- person contact handover at the start of the sit due to arrival timings but I sent video & written instructions to help them find everything & they where quick to ask if they needed local or other information. I'd happily have them to return sit & so glad their daughter enjoyed the pets & garden :)

A Reliable, Trustworthy couple who have been awarded a Super Sitter Award by zee
Ann and Martin were super friendly, reliable and all round great house sitters! They took great care of all the animals and were obliging in throwing Pip's ball for her - a lot! Communication was great and it was really helpful to have the opportunity for a visit before we left to meet the pets and look round. The house was beautiful and clean when we got home which was lovely. We would love to have them back if they are ever travelling nearby again on their adventures! Definitely recommend them! Thanks Ann and Martin!

This is me last year.
We struck gold again! What a gem - thank you, Sarah for looking after Dasher and our home so wonderfully. Sarah’s communication before and during her stay was excellent. She is a calm and gentle lady - she understood and met Dasher’s needs and he was very chilled when we got home. The house was immaculate on our return. We are very happy and highly recommend Sarah to others.

Trustworthy,reliable and caring couple available to look after you home pets and
Liz and John just completed a 10 day house and pet sit for us and it couldn’t have gone any better. From the initial communication we had through to pre-sit chats and updates while we were away communications were frequent and reassuring. On return our house was immaculate and the dogs all happy. Highly recommend Liz and John if you’re lucky enough to have them as sitters - 5 stars all round!

Reliable & trustworthy “babysitters” for your precious furry friends…
Once again Susie and Nigel were the most amazing house sitters and Jasper loves them. They sent lots of pix to keep in touch and when we came home everything was immaculate. They are such fun and so thoughtful and cooked a delicious meal when we came home. I feel so lucky to have found them.
Leslie and Kyle set the bar for all other pet sitters! On the first morning of their stay my cat got out due to a faulty window in my apartment and they handled the situation so well. Leslie sent a text explaining what happened and that my cat had returned safely and she was so calm about the whole thing that it put me at ease for the rest of my trip. Kyle went above and beyond and not only fixed the window screen (he actually fixed two screens during their stay!) but also made sure the window was secure until maintenance could come and fix the issue. Their go with the flow attitude was amazing. I would 100% have them sit for me again! I can not recommend them enough. You would be lucky to have Leslie and Kyle as your sitters :)
I have nothing but great things to say about Jill! She’s a wonderful sitter and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog and cat in her capable hands while I was out of the country. She was thorough in making sure she knew exactly what each pet needed, had excellent communication, and provided me with daily updates. I came home to a house that was even tidier and more organized than when I left and two very loved pets. I would highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for a kind, caring, consistent pet sitter. Thank you so much Jill!!!
Anant was a great sitter and a friendly guy. Kept me up to date re his arrival and with Marie & Toulouse during the sit. Found my house exactly as I had left it. Would highly recommend Anant to other pet parents.
Leah was an excellent pet sitter and take care of our home when we were on vacation. Our dogs were sad when she left. She even made us some delicious tacos when we got home from the airport! We highly recommend her!
I had the pleasure of having Tracey and her two children as house sitters, and I can't praise them enough for the incredible job they did. From the moment they stepped into our home, it was evident that they were dedicated, caring, and attentive to every detail. First and foremost, Tracey's approach to caring for our house and our beloved pets was nothing short of excellent. She has an innate ability to connect with animals, and it was clear from the daily updates and photos that our pets were happy and thoroughly pampered. The house was kept in immaculate condition, and they treated it with the utmost respect as if it was their own. Moreover, Tracey demonstrated remarkable responsibility and initiative when our AC system unexpectedly broke down. Without hesitation, she arranged for an HVAC company to come and fix the issue, taking time from her day to ensure our home was taken care of. Her willingness to front the repair costs until I could reimburse her was an act of kindness and trust that you rarely see. Tracey and her children's thoughtfulness and thoroughness provided me with peace of mind during my time away, which is priceless. I returned to a home that was just as I left it, if not better. Their stay was characterized by an extraordinary level of care and I was particularly impressed by how they left the house in perfect condition, with happy pets to welcome me back. I wholeheartedly recommend Tracey to any future hosts. Her reliability, compassion, and the ability to handle unexpected situations with grace are commendable. I would welcome Tracey and her children back to house sit in a heartbeat – they are exactly the kind of house sitters that one hopes for on this site! Thank you, Tracey, for everything. You and your children are welcome back anytime!
Kate was an excellent house sitter and pet sitter. She was thoughtful, sensitive, and attuned to our cats and the particulars of our house. It was really easy to communicate with her and she was responsible and conscientious about everything. When we came back our cats seemed unfazed by our return which was a great sign and it was obvious that she spent lots of time with them and gave them lots of love. The house was spotless on our return and she even alerted us to a health matter in one of our cats. She sent lots of cute updates and was easy going when we messed up a logistical detail on our end. Just a delightful person all around. I'd love to have her come again and if you have a chance to have her housesit, jump on it. She is a gem.
Angie and her husband Joe were a great fit for our house and pet sitting needs! They kept in communication with us before our vacation started, and were able to arrive a little early so we could walk them through how various systems worked and where controls were located. Our dog bonded with Angie very quickly and I think he was hoping she would stay after we returned home :) We got regular updates and pet photos while we were traveling. Although we were out of cell phone range for several days, we never had a doubt that things at home would be just fine while they were there! They were also very flexible and understanding. Due to our flight schedule we arrived home in the middle of the night. Angie was able to feed and walk our dog, clean up and leave in the morning without waking us up! The house was left clean, the garden was thriving and our pup was happy. We are happy, and would be happy to have them back again as sitters anytime.
Judith was one of the most considerate, trustworthy sitters we've ever had. We had to leave in a rush for a family emergency and really didn't have time to prepare the house as we usually do, but Judith took all in stride, leaving the apartment spotless. She sent photos of Baby Boo and Janet on arrival, putting us immediately at ease because it was so obvious the cats were completely comfortable, zero stress, allowing us to relax that they were in such good hands. She sent photos and video every day, which delighted us, confident that they were getting next level care. Judith would take care of anyone's home and pets with as much care as she did at ours, and we highly recommend. Hope she can come back!!
What an amazing couple we had as pet sitters for our two dogs! You can truly feel their love for animals. Nancy sent pictures a couple of times letting us know that they were having fun also with our Cody and Carson! Our home was perfect when we got home. They even left a beautiful potted flower and card on our island in our kitchen. We highly recommend this couple! Jim & Wanda
Jerry and Suzanne were absolutely ideal sitters for our home and pets. We spoke with them ahead of their visit and could tell that they are genuine pet and travel lovers. Over their stay we got to see even more that they are wonderfully friendly, kind, and responsible - plus they kept us laughing with their updates and descriptions of our pets' antics while we were away. Our pets and plants were well loved and our house was spotless upon our return home, and they were even kind enough to leave a few goodies in the fridge. Our dog in particular seemed to miss them and their long walks around the neighborhood. Thank you Jerry and Suzanne! We wish you well in your travels!

Phoned several, times, no reply or ignored when i got through, and when I picked her up, they commented on me phoning and laughed about turning their phone off next time. But what put the icing on the cake was when I got her bed and my dressing gown home (something she could smell and remind her of home and me) and it was wet through with pee! Has she been laid in that all night and why!!
Great service from knowledgeable staff. We left our four fur babies with them. They were in a family kennel, so kept together as a pack. They asked for details on our dogs and gave individual feedback on their personalities when we returned (clear evidence that there was interaction with them, rather than a kennel housing approach. Would highly recommend them.
Thank you Barry, Dy and Sharon for looking after my 4 Frenchies and giving them a holiday too. Fantastic facilities and lots of secure green play area. I feel rest assured with my Fur-babies in your care! Just shows years of experience of taking care of Animals.
We took our dog here whilst we went away it was a last minute thing as normally he will go to Kirkview at Blyth. I was a bit sceptical about it as it didn’t look very accommodating very run down. When I originally spoke to them on the phone I was told a daily rate of £14 and to pay a £40 deposit. He was in for 9 days at a costing of £126 less the £40 deposit would have meant a final payment when picking him up of £86. My husband went to pick him up and was charged £115 apparently they charge more to issue medication and other hidden fees etc, this was not stated on the telephone or even when we dropped him off and told them about what medication to give him each day. He also has to have a special dietary requirement as meat products will cause him serious harm which we provided them to feed him only for him to come home and see he’d obviously been fed something completely different. When checking his medication we found half a tablet that hadn’t even been given to him. I am really disappointed and will not be taking my dog back to this kennels again.
Very impressed. For a beginner to chicken keeping they couldn't have been more friendly. Definite recommend.
We leave our 4 westies every time we go away . Wouldn't trust them with anyone else
Lovely people. Dogs are always well looked after
My pet dog loves it.
Jess has been amazing with our dogs! They are both so different so require someone who is able to look after a challenging puppy going though adolescence and an older boy who gets worried in unfamiliar environments. They love to see her and get plenty of love!
Would definitely recommend Borks and Walks, I have 2 dogs and one of them is a German Shepherd Dog and she's a very nervous dog especially around new people, but Jess was absolutely amazing with her on the meeting they had. She has this calming energy about her and she knew exactly how to greet Sky without making her nervous and jess was just amazing with her. I was also worried that Sky would pull too much on the walk but Jess handled it perfectly. Overall i 110% reccomned Jess at borks and Walks, if I need someone to walk my dogs or look after them I wouldn't want to go anywhere else as she is amazing with dogs and very reliable.
Excellent Service. Jess is very professional and she treats your dog like her own. I would definitely recommend her to care for your fur babies.
Genuine passion and consideration for the animals in her care. Jess is flexible, understanding and truly wants the best for your pets whilst you’re away. 100% recommend
If you are looking for someone reliable and caring then look no further. Jess looked after my dog like her own. Thank you x
