Compared to the kennel we used last year this was miles easier, no dropping off at 7am and no queue at the desk. Booked on my phone during a lunch break, sitter was sorted by the evening. Dog came back happy and the sitter sent a couple of videos through the app while I was at work. Quick, simple and no faff at all.

I bought a dog bed through the site to leave at the sitter's place so our dog would have something familiar. It arrived quickly and the quality is good for the price. The sitter sent a photo of the dog sleeping on it the first night, which was a lovely touch. Booking the sitter was just as simple.

The sitter we ended up with for our spaniel was lovely and sent photos every day, so the actual stay was spot on. Signing up was a bit of a slog though, they asked for a lot of documents and it took about a week before my profile was approved. Once that was sorted the booking itself was quick enough, and the price was fair for what we paid.

Got a cat tree sent over before the sitter came round, figured it would keep the cat busy while we were out. Arrived in a couple of days and was easy to put together with the instructions. The sitter sent a message saying the cat had already claimed it, which made me laugh. Price was fair and the whole thing was simple. Didn't expect the cat to like it that much.

We booked a home boarding stay for our terrier for a week, which came in well under what the kennels were quoting us. The sitter was in a house with a garden, which the dog loved. Easy to pay through the site and no surprise add-ons. Good value for what we got.

I bought a lead and some treats through the site before my sitter came round, so I could leave them out for her. The lead arrived fast and is a decent quality for the money. Good to know the sitter had everything she needed before the first visit. Nothing to complain about.

We needed a sitter for our elderly dog while we were away for a long weekend, as he doesn't like kennels any more. The booking process was clear, though I did have to message the sitter twice before she confirmed the times. The sitter was patient with him and sent updates when asked. Price was reasonable compared with the local boarding places, and I would use it again.

booked a sitter for my cat for the weekend on my lunch break, took about five mins on the app. sitter sent pics every morning and the cat was fine when i got back. would use again.

Compared with the boarding kennel we used before, this is noticeably cheaper for a week, and the dog is in a proper home instead of a cage. We went with a sitter who had good reviews and a nice garden. The booking took a few minutes on the laptop and payment was simple. Our dog came back relaxed and well cared for. Not sure what else you could want from it.

Honestly really good, booked a sitter for my dog for a weekend and it was sorted in like ten mins. She sent loads of pics, dog looked well fed and knackered when we got back lol. Would book again x

Verdict is it does the job, same as it has done for years. Booked the usual sitter for two weekends and both were fine. The only annoyance is the app takes a while to load the calendar. Otherwise no complaints.

Sorted in minutes, I was dreading finding someone for the dog but this was done before my tea was ready. Sitter was good and sent a few updates. Price was about what I expected. Happy enough.

Honestly the sitter was lovely and my cat was so chilled when I got back. Booked it on my phone in about five minutes, super easy. She sent me a pic every day which was a nice touch. Would use again for sure.

The first thing I noticed was how the sitter profile had photos of their own home and garden, which made me feel a lot more comfortable. I'd never used a service like this before. Sitter came round to meet the dog first which was great. Booking was easy and the dog seemed happy when we got back.

Compared with booking a local dog walker every day, this worked out cheaper for us over a week away. I've been using it for a few years now and it's been consistent. The sitter messages are a bit slow to come back sometimes, but the dog is always looked after. Fine for what we need.

We needed somewhere for our dog while we went to a wedding abroad, and a kennel would have cost us a fortune. This came in well under that and the sitter was a student who clearly loved dogs. Got regular updates and the dog was happy. Good value and sorted quickly.

We needed someone to look after our cat at short notice when my husband went into hospital for a few days. The site helped us find a sitter nearby who could come twice a day. The cat was fine and we were kept updated throughout. Very grateful to have had it sorted so quickly at such a difficult time.

Compared to a regular dog walker for the week, this came out cheaper, which is why I went with it. Signing up took ages though, I had to upload loads of documents and wait a day for approval. Once that was done the sitter was good and the dog was happy. Would still use it.

I needed cover for our cat at short notice when my work trip got moved forward a day. Booked it from my phone while packing and a sitter confirmed within the hour. She came round twice a day and sent a photo each time, which I really appreciated. The cat was fine and the price was fair for the cover. Very useful when plans change.
