We had the pleasure of having Olga, Max & their boys take care of our beloved pets, Billy the dog and Grace the cat, while we were away. From the moment we met them, we knew they were right for us, and seeing how comfortable Olga made Billy feel when she met us in person helped us feel at ease. Billy, our rescue dog with a history of fears and anxiety, thrived under their attentive and loving care. Olga & Max’s kids were amazing with Billy, showering him with love and making him feel secure. Billy loves kids, and it was heartwarming to see him bond so well with their family. Olga kept us updated every day with videos and pictures, which provided us with great peace of mind. They took Billy for long walks and playdates with other dogs in the park, ensuring he got plenty of exercise and social interaction. They even noticed we were out of dog shampoo and bought one to give Billy a refreshing bath! :) Grace the cat was also well looked after, clearly happy and comfortable throughout our absence. Olga & Max's dedication, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals shone through in everything they did. They also kept our home spotless, which was an added bonus. We can’t thank Olga & Max enough for the exceptional care they provided. We highly recommend them to anyone in need of trustworthy, loving, and attentive house sitters. Our heartfelt thanks for everything you did for Billy and Grace! We would love to have you and your wonderful kids sit for us again in the future.

We have been using Laura's pet sitting services for a few years now and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Laura has always been able to accommodate requirements for our cat, rabbit and guinea pigs and nothing is ever too much trouble. We can go away for the weekend or longer knowing our animals will be in safe hands and not having to put them through the stress of going to a cattery.
Laura was extremely attentive first in knowing about us, the needs of our cats and the cats quirky aspects. Both our cats can be cautious with strangers but bonded quickly to her. The regular updates and pics we got through emails left you feeling happy in the knowledge they were in safe hands, well cared for and all in their own environment. We came home to two extremely happy and playful cats. Would highly recommend the services offered and will definitely be using again.
Laura has been great at looking after our cat whenever we are away. She’s trustworthy, reliable and has lots of experience with animals. When our cat has had medical needs she has attended to these with compassion and competence. I have no hesitation in recommending her services.
If you want a professional, efficient and caring cat sitter, then look no further than Laura at Safe and Snug. From the initial meet and greet to the mid week update when you are away and then the final report you couldn’t get a better service. We booked Laura for 8 days and we knew during that time our cat Rocky would want to go out and disappear for a few days (which we made her aware of) and he did just that. Laura made the point of returning to see if he was there and asked to be kept informed of when he returned which we did when he finally ambled through the door. Laura clearly cares about what she does and likes to know the individual needs of the cat she’s looking after. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Laura and would definitely use her again. Many thanks 🐱
Laura looked after our cats twice a day for three weeks while we were on honeymoon. We had regular updates and came back to some very happy cats. It was really reassuring knowing Laura was looking after them as we were away for so long. The cats liked her, she was really reliable and we would definitely book her again. Thank you!
We have used Laura countless times now to look after our 2 cats (both getting on in years so don't want to put them in a cattery), we cannot fault Laura's care & go away safe in the knowledge they are being well looked after. She maintains regular contact when we're away including photos & keeps an accurate detailed diary of each day recording how the cats were, how much they ate etc. Add to that the little extras such as collecting up the post & turning lights on & off on request so the house doesn't appear empty while away - I can't recommend highly enough.
Never had a problem with Laura. She takes care of my cats when I go away and I trust her totally. Have used Laura (safe and snug) for a good 5 years +. I know my cats trust her. She gives updates and post pics of my cats on Facebook which is a nice touch when away.
We’ve been using Laura for the last 3 years - wish we’d have thought about this sooner as we’d been using catteries for 12 years previous. Although the cattery did everything it was supposed to do, our cats hated it...We now go on holiday knowing that the cats are well looked after and are happy. Laura provides regular updates. Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Laura and Safe and Snug.
Me and my partner love Laura’s company. She truely cares about the animals she looks after and nothing is ever too much bother. She will happily send you updates and photos of your pet while you are away. I feel safe in knowing my babies are well looked after when I am not around. She is extremely reliable and I will continue to use her service and would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter/dog walker/pop-in visiter etc. A*****
We have been using Laura's pet sitting service for our 2 cats for over 3 years now and can't fault her service . We have never put our boys into a cattery as we prefer them to be in their own home . Laura keeps us updated with photo's / emails and always leaves us a day to day diary of their routine . Anything your pets need is not too much trouble from feeding , medication , grooming and general fussing . We have also in the last couple of months had evening visits from hedgehogs who we have been feeding and during our last holiday Laura has been looking after the extra guests as well . We have every faith in our boys / house being well looked after whenever is needed . Look no further if you want your pets looked after and happy while you are away .
Kat and Tori stayed overnight for a week and looked after my two senior cats and fish. Nothing was too much trouble; medication twice a day, cooking their favourite food etc. Lots of photos of my boys playing, having cuddles, chilling out. I was so relaxed on holiday knowing they were in safe hands, which to me was priceless. When I returned the house was clean and tidy which was also very much appreciated after a day of travelling. I can highly recommend Hop & Pop services and will definitely be using them in future. Thank you so much ❤️
Excellent service from Kat, I couldn't be happier! I've never used a pet sitting service before but Kat was really thorough and took time to get to know my cats and their needs before we went away. I was kept updated with lots of photos, and came home to happy, relaxed, confident cats who hadn't missed me at all! I'd have no hesitation in recommending this business. Professional, compassionate and friendly - thank you so much for the reassurance you bring.
Kat did an amazing job of looking after our 2 kittens while we were away! We got photos of every visit which ensured that we did not worry about them at all and could focus on our holiday. Could not recommend enough if you are needing someone to pop in to check on or look after your pets…. Thank you again.
