"I would definitely recommend Mr Wagtails! He was really professional and very personable so that I felt completely at ease leaving him to look after my cat Cleo, whilst I was away on business. I was away for 5 days and he sent me a few pictures and an update on how Cleo was doing everyday so that I knew she was ok. As well as looking after Cleo, feeding her, playing with her etc., he also offered to do little things around the house like putting the bins out and getting some milk in for when I was back, which was really helpful! Thanks again Mr Wagtails!" PC 2015
"Our much loved and slightly elderly cat gets very stressed with change and loves her own space...I was recommended Mr Wagtails by a friend and was so pleased with the service we received...we organised a visiting schedule which was completely tailored to us and our requirements...When we got home she was relaxed, settled and happy which is completely different to how she has been after a visit to a cattery. It was an excellent decision to choose Mr Wagtails to look after our cat while we were away and I highly recommend them, we will be using them again." CK 2015
"Mr Wagtails looked after our 2 cats while we went on holiday...The cats seemed to take a liking to him straight away, we could tell straight away that he was an animal person... We had 2 very happy cats to welcome us home...I cannot rate Mr Wagtails enough, a trusting and very genuine guy...We will use again"

"Andy has been walking our flat coated retriever for a few months now. Andy is professional, reliable, flexible and caring. Myself and R could not ask for anyone better. Andy keeps us appraised immediately after he has walked R of any events that may have occurred or if she has been acting out of the ordinary. I would recommend Andy to anyone looking for for any of his services"

"We would highly recommend Mr Wagtails to look after your pet. He looked after our Cat Sammy whilst we went away for five nights. Each day we had twice daily updates after he had visited her together with pictures and videos where he could as she is not the most sociable cat but he was determined and I think she eventually gave in to him!
She was well looked after and quite settled when we arrived home which was a huge relief to us. Andy also opened and closed the blinds for us and turned the outside light on at night to help with security. All in all we were very happy with the service he provided to us and all at a very fair cost and worth every penny. The house was nice and tidy and the pots were washed when we got home.
He is worth his weight in ‘Gold’ (sorry Andy!) and if you need your pet looked after in your own home then he is the man for the job. Very professional and very passionate about his work. We have booked again for a couple of days and will certainly be looking to use him more regularly. Thanks Andy! "

Absolutely brilliant service from Andy. Having never used a cat sitter before we were slightly apprehensive however Andy set us at ease right from the start. Easy to communicate with, very professional and obviously an animal lover! We received daily updates and photos while we were away for a few days which was great. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Andy and we will certainly be contacting him next time we go away!
Thanks again!! LP 2018
As my family are allergic I always felt bad asking them to call in on my furbabies. Finding Mr Wagtail was a godsend. I'll admit I was a bit nervous as they are both shy yet friendly (once they know you) cats. There was absolutely no need. I received lots of photos and they were perfectly fine and less grumpy than normal when I've left them before. Will definitely be using Mr Wagtail again. DS 2018
Andy was recommended to me by another pet sitter. And I was worried about leaving my girls and house with a stranger. But as soon as I met Andy he put my mind at ease. I have one girl who really doesn’t like strangers and doesn’t hesitate in letting them know! But she took to Andy straight away and even let him pick her up. He went above and beyond in the care for my girls. If you ever need a dog sitter/walker then Andy is you man. Thanks again Andy for looking after them and I will be using you again for future reference. KT 2019
Andy has been walking our rescue staffie, [B] for around 3 months now and I couldn’t be happier with the dog-walking service he provides. Having only just rescued [B], it didn’t phase Andy that we didn’t ‘know’ our dog when he first started his walks. Over the months we have learnt what works best for [B] and have got him in a good afternoon routine which he couldn’t be without. I receive a little ‘pupdate’ with pictures after every walk which lets me know that everything has gone to plan and if there is anything I should be aware of. Andy is professional, trustworthy, diligent and really cares about the welfare and happiness of the dogs. I would certainly encourage anyone thinking of using a dog-walking service to use “Mr Wagtails” ☺️🐾🐶

We were recommended Andy through some friends of ours and arranged for him to look after our cat [R] for a week.
Like most pet owners I always worry about leaving my pet and will continue to worry whilst on my holiday, yet with Andy, I was reassured that [R] was in good hands. Not only did Andy feed him but he also made sure our cat got plenty of love and attention. Andy kept us updated daily with messages and photos, which I always looked forward to!
Andy also opened our blinds and made it appear as though we were at home, which again reassured me that our home was always safe and secured. He also alerted us when our back gate had been opened, as well as collecting our mail.
Before he begins his pet sitting duties, Andy will come over to discuss your pets needs and will patiently sit there whilst you tell him all about your pets funny quirks. By the end of the session, it felt like we were old friends talking about our pets.
I really can’t recommend Andy enough and will continue to use him and recommend him to our friends. I know [R] is already missing him. I know I’ve said this to Andy a billion times already, but I really can’t thank him enough!

I Met Andy, Mr Wagtails, himself this week and introduced him to my 2 babies, and what an impression he made. He come[s] highly recommended and he definitely lives up to his reputation. Totally reliable and so professional, my babies are definitely in safe hands.

Mr Wagtails' dog walking services came highly recommended from friends and neighbors when we reached out for help with our 'little legs' whilst on holiday. Andy was reliable, punctual and great company for our dog in our absence. Providing pics and a report on each walk put our minds at rest.
I have no problem whatsoever in giving Mr Wagtails a 5 star review, and we'll definitely be using his services again. GB 2021
Andy is a truly exceptional person and professional with what he does. He has stayed over in our home to look after our dog, Freddie. He is very friendly and Freddie is very chilled and happy with him. Andy keeps in contact with photos and what he's done throughout the day. We would recommend him. SM 2022
Mr Wagtails provided excellent care for our fur baby Teddy! We were so nervous about leaving Teddy having previously only left him with my parents. Due to us getting married we had to leave him, and Andy was fantastic. The meet and greet prior to his stay really put us at ease and he ensured that all of Teddy's requirements were documented. The regular photographs on the whatsapp group he set up were fabulous. We highly recommend Mr Wagtails. He treated Teddy like he was his own pet. He even left us a bottle of fizz to celebrate our wedding upon our return home! We can't thank him enough for allowing us to feel relaxed on our special day knowing that Teddy was in safe and caring hands! CW 2022
Andy was very thorough in establishing what our pets' needs were at our initial meeting and was fantastic at updating us daily about how everyone was getting on. Andy genuinely cares about animals and we will have no hesitation in using him again.

"(Mr Wagtails) comes and walks my 2 springer spaniels at least twice a week. He is always on time and is incredibly polite. My dogs dote on him and... get straight in his car the moment they are allowed. They are always very excited to see him as they know it means long walks and ball throwing. On the initial meeting we discussed which commands the dogs understand, their temperament and their recall. I would highly recommend (Mr Wagtails) to anyone who
wants to keep their 4 legged friends happy!" LRB 2015
"Andy is a friendly and genuine guy. He looked after my 2 cats for a week. He didn't just rush in, feed them and leave. He waited until they had eaten and gave them some attention and affection aswell. I'm always anxious about leaving the furballs but the photo updates really put my mind at ease. Andy is also helpful and will offer to do any other little jobs e.g. putting bins out, turning on lights and making sure there's milk in the fridge for your return. I can't recommend Mr Wagtails enough and I will be using him again in the future" LM 2015
"Mr Wagtails looked after our cat, Coco, whilst we were on holiday for a week. We were most impressed with his professional, friendly, value for money service. Before we went away, Andy came round to introduce himself, agree the services we required and provide a quote. This put us at ease that Coco was in safe hands when we were away. Whilst away, we received daily updates with photos on how Coco was getting on, and it was reassuring to see that a usually shy, reserved cat was relaxed in his company. For anyone looking for a pet sitter, I would highly recommend Andy's services - we will certainly be using him from now on "

"I would highly recommend Andy to look after your cat I left my 6 month kitty for the first time in his capable hands and I was very reluctant. But I got daily updates and great photos of her which really reassured me she was not too lonely. She was very relaxed when I got home and her normal bouncy self so I wouldn't hesitate to use his services again"

We cannot praise Andy at [Mr] Wagtails highly enough. He is absolutely brilliant with our pets, his attention to detail is second to none. He is extremely professional and organised and a lovely person as well. He makes such an effort to make us feel at ease and to learn everything about our pets and their needs. We would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone.

Andy looked after our 3 cats whilst we were on holiday. He did a fantastic job with cleaning the litter tray and floor and keeping their food and water topped up. He even got us some milk for a brew!! The first thing your desperate for after being abroad!! A decent cup of tea. Would highly recommend Andy and will definetely be using him next time we go away.
KC 2017
We've recently employed Mr Wagtails to start walking our dog a couple of days a week. He's been great, sends us lots of pics and updates of Ella's walks and communication is great! Would thoroughly recommend! SB 2017
Thanks for looking after Lacey whilst we went away for a few days. Came home to a very content cat will definitely use your services again CD 2017
I have used Andy's services to visit my cat on two occasions now. He is very professional, visiting your home prior to his first visit and taking note of any preferences your pet may have. He also [paid attention to the security of the house]. I have enjoyed two holidays knowing my cat was in her own surroundings, being cared for by someone who is a genuine animal lover. I received daily updates and photos and returned to a happy and contented cat. Thank you Mr Wagtails! LR 2018
Really happy with the service Andy has provided from start to finish ! He is looking after my 9 week old kitten Jess when I’m at work and [he] has made us all feel so much at ease with the way he works from coming to meet us at home first and asking lots of questions, telling us what we can expect and of course Jess already loves him! Being sent pictures of the visit is a really nice touch and has calmed me down knowing she is ok while I’m out. AM 2019
Andy was fantastic looking after our 2 cats and a stray we have adopted whilst we were away. Daily updates and pictures sent to us with the cats happy, fed and watered. Would definitely recommend his service and will be using him in the future when going away. Brilliant! Thank you Andy
for everything! LL 2019
Fantastic service, my cats [were] looked after amazingly well and [I] especially loved the photo updates daily. [It is] very trustworthy and reassuring to know you can go away and leave your animals in such safe hands.Would definitely recommend and [will] use again. Thank you Mr Wagtails RC 2019
Thanks, Andy for the care you provided for Luna our cat whilst we were on a mini-break.
We were confident and reassured especially with the great communication and photos sent to us whilst we were away!
I would recommend your services and will definitely use your services again in the future. Thanks again 🙏🏻 JN 2020
Andy looked after my 13-year-old Staffador (dog) and my 2 cats while I was working away for three nights.
[I] can’t thank him enough, my dog suffers from a bit of separation anxiety and she seemed really well and not at all stressed when I returned.
[I] got daily updates and pictures and Andy even cleaned the litter trays for my return which wasn’t expected and did totally off his own back, this was much appreciated as I had lots to do for myself on my return so majorly lightened the load!
I will definitely use MR WAGTAILS again and can’t recommend enough. One very happy owner and three fur babies.

Andy is so professional, reliable and trustworthy and he has a heart of gold, especially when it comes to your dog.
I have a rescue dog and he isn’t always sure about new people. Andy was amazing with H***** from the first time he met him!
Andy usually takes him for a walk when we are at work but the other week I was off work decorating and Andy came to take H***** for a walk. H***** was so excited to see Andy and did what we call zoomies up and down the hallway, then gave Andy lots of licks. It was so lovely to see how they have bonded and what a lovely relationship they have!
If I need a dog sitter at short notice Andy always tries his best to help out. I wouldn’t have anyone else to look after my dog!
HN 2021
We highly recommend Andy! We wouldn't know what we'd do without him for taking our little 'D' for walks each week. Unlike other walkers we have used in the past, Andy takes the time to make sure 'D' is settled before he leaves, after dropping him off after his walk. He really takes the time to get to know each dog and his prompt pictures and post-walk updates put us at ease whilst we are at work. ZR 2021
Andy has been walking our dog Bentley a few times a week for the last 2 years, most recently he has done a house sit looking after Bentley whilst we were on holiday. I couldn’t recommend him enough. He is the ULTIMATE professional and sent the best updates to let us know how he was getting on. Thank you, Andy, Bentley is a lucky pup! HL 2022
Thanks Mr Wagtails for his help and home stay with Boo and Luna whilst we were on our holidays! Great service, puts our mind at rest they are well looked after ! JN 2022
A massive thank you to Andy for looking after our Fur Baby Dexter on our wedding day.
Andy provided an exceptional service throughout, gave dexter lots of love and attention & not only made dexter feel comfortable whilst his PAWrents were away, but made us feel at ease by receiving lots of photos throughout the day / evening.
It was amazing to be welcomed home on the first day as a married couple to a happy doggo, & the card & bubbly from Andy was a lovely touch!
We highly recommend to anyone who needs a pet sitter & we will definitely be using his services again!
Thank you!
