"We have been using Carolyn for our dog sitter since early spring 2009.

Our dog, Murphy, is a large Irish Wolfhound and he loves Carolyn to bits. I would like to say Murphy misses us when we are away, but he has such fun at Carolyn's house, I am not sure if he notices we are gone!

Although Murphy is large, Carolyn manages him very well, she sticks to his diet and his medication and gives him plenty of exercise.

We are so pleased to have found Carolyn as Murphy is a very sociable breed and he would not have survived being in a kennel.

Carolyn's one to one care of him has been brilliant."

"Carolyn has been walking our dog, Raif, for about 4 months and has become a real member of the family. Raif is a one year old Border Collie and has formed a real bond with Carolyn. She has a definite affinity with dogs and is able to control and command him very well.

I would not hesitate to recommend Carolyn to any family, especially where the dog is young, excitable or highly strung as our young dog is. He needs a lot of attention, good long walks and entertainment during the walks. I know he is being walked well as he comes back tired and looking for a sleep."

"If Carolyn can look after Toffee, then she can handle most dogs! He is a bit of a handful and very excitable but responds well to her calm nature.

Carolyn has been very reliable and has never let me down and has been very good at changing days and times with very little notice.

Her knowledge of dogs is great and she helped me keep calm and bandage Toffee's paw when he cut it open just before she came to take him out."

"Carolyn Barnett has been an absolutely fantastic dog walker for the past couple of years. No matter what kind of weather she always turned up to walk my two dogs Jake and Twiggy.

My dogs really adore Carolyn who in turn really cares for Jake and Twiggy. Jake is a large and quite a difficult dog but Carolyn has always been able to handle him.

Carolyn has introduced Jake and Twiggy to other dogs where many people have failed - she is confident with the dogs and it reflects in their behaviour.

Carolyn has had the keys to my house for the past couple of years and has been totally trustworthy and reliable during that time."

"Carolyn has walked Oscar, our 6 year old Black Labrador dog, on numerous occasions over the past 12 months. In order to provide this service, we trusted Carolyn with the keys to our house so that she could gain access to our property when we weren't there.

I have found Carolyn to be most helpful and willing to walk Oscar at short notice. Carolyn always ensured that Oscar was dried off on his return from each walk and she would always leave me a note telling me where he had been.

I have no hesitation in recommending Carolyn to walk or look after your pet."

*******

"It was clear from the start that Carolyn is a true animal lover and after a short meeting with her we were convinced that she was the person to look after our Persian cats.

Carolyn is now our regular "adopted cat mum" who has our complete trust and access to our home when we are away.

We are delighted Carolyn has agreed to look after our cats whenever we need her and we have no hesitation in recommending her services to anyone who is looking for a kind, reliable and trustworthy pet sitter."

"I have two Burmilla cats called Ned and Flynn and two rescue rabbits called Rosie and Jim. Carolyn is a true animal lover who has extensive experience in pet care and my husband and I know that we can go away with complete piece of mind in the knowledge that our pets are not just being fed but given lots of love and attention!

Carolyn is a real professional and runs her business with absolute attention to detail. I am delighted to have someone on the end of the phone who is so dependable and flexible. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for tip-top care for their animals whilst they are away."
