Lovely guy, everything was easy to coordinate with him, excellent communication and everything went smoothly, the dogs looked happy and well when we came back. Highly recommended!!
Caring for Benny Bean was easy and fun, he is super friendly and quite the character. Therese's house is very comfortable and is in a quiet neighbourhood, where we enjoyed staying. We had a wonderful time visiting Seattle, spending time with Benny, taking naps, and playing with him. Therese was easy to communicate with and the Welcome Guide was comprehensive. We highly recommend this pet-sitting opportunity.

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.
