Sarah and Sophie looked after our two beloved dogs for a week while we were away. They came to meet Mabel and Molly a few days ahead of our trip, so that they could get an idea of what we needed from the sit, and also so that Mabel and Molly would be familiar with them when we headed off on holiday. We were delighted with the care they gave our girls—we received photos and updates every day—and they also took very good care of our house: everything was tidy and clean when we got back. Their rates are very reasonable as well. We would highly recommend Sarah's Sweet Paws & Whiskers for a house-sit, and would be happy to chat to anyone looking for a reference based on experience. In fact, Sarah and Sophie are already booked in with us for two more sits!

Feedback from cat and dog parents who chose reliable, loving in-home care with Sarah.
The service that Sarah provided is outstanding, she takes care of every single detail. The dogs are very well looked after, we got daily updates, she stayed in our house for 10 days when we were on holiday and that made it so much easier for the dogs to be at home. She takes them out and makes sure they are always happy and content. The house was spotless and the dogs, they were treated like they were her own. I would recommend her service 100% and we will definitely use her again.
This was the first time we had left our 8 month old puppy Lucky overnight and Sarah was brilliant at making sure he and I were familiar with her, her family and her home beforehand, having a playdate before the overnight stay. It was probably the hottest night of the year for the sleepover and Sarah was wonderful at keeping him cool, using a cooling mat and ice cubes. Another girl dog was also staying at the same time and as neither had been neutered, they needed to be kept apart which I'm sure was a bit of a hassle! He can be a bit pully on the lead but Sarah took him out and he loved it. We really appreciated getting updates on how he was getting on as we were pretty anxious about him on his first night away but Sarah was great at keeping in touch. Overall, he was a very happy puppy staying with Sarah and her family and we are very grateful they looked after him so well. It was home from home with lots of care and attention.
Great service! Dogs were safe and happy!
Sarah was great for Sausages first over night stay, she kept me well informed and sent lots of pictures. Sausage was very happy and relaxed the next day and is looking forward to spending more time with the whole family :D Thank you!
Sarah clearly loves dogs and spent time getting to know Henry, which allowed me to go off with complete peace of mind. She sent pictures and lovely messages and I wouldn't hesitate to leave Henry with her and family again. I recommend her wholeheartedly!!
