Testimonials

I strive to provide a friendly and professional service where each booking is a positive,  fun experience for the animal in my care. 

It's imperative that you feel confident that I'm up to the job of looking after your pet.

I hope the following recommendations help to reassure you.


Client feedback is always welcomed.

"I cannot recommend Rachel highly enough. Dory loves her weekly 'play dates' and comes home after each session exhausted! In addition, I get regular photo and video updates. It is obvious that Rachel really cares about the animals she looks after (and they clearly love her too) and I trust her completely with Dory.

I am so grateful I found The Animal Auntie and will be using her for a long time to come!"

"Rachel has been walking my dog, Willow, for 18 months now. During this time they have formed a close bond and Willow really looks forward to her weekly adventures with her ‘Animal Auntie.’

I have no hesitation in recommending Rachel. She is conscientious, caring and professional and a genuine ‘dog lover.’"

"Our puppy Mabel absolutely loves going for walks with Rachel and Tess. She was nervous of walking at first, but Rachel was so patient with her and slowly built her confidence. Now Mabel can’t wait to jump in the van for adventures! Rachel also looked after Mabel at home while we went out for dinner and she bought games and toys which she loved. Thank you so much."​

"Rachel is excellent with my Labradoodle puppy. She is patient, interested in his well being and always trying new ways to enrich his walking/playing experience.

She is very reliable, professional and takes a lot of pride in her work, and makes the best healthy home baked dog treats! 

Her rates are very reasonable and well worth it.   My puppy absolutely loves her and we are delighted to have found her!."

"Rachel has been looking after my little one for a few months now. She is absolutely amazing at it, my Comet loves her so much that he doesn’t want to come back home...!! She is very caring towards him and looks after him like her own. I will definitely recommend her to anybody and will continue to use her services."

"Rachel to the rescue at a time when I was unable to walk our lab Jambo due to an injury. From day one she connected with Jambo so nicely that she is still taking Jambo for walks. Rachel’s attitude, flexibility and care are very appreciated. Jambo is delighted and as soon he hears the door, he runs to receive Rachel. Thank you very much Auntie!"

"My dog loves Rachel! She is calm, kind and patient and has easily gained the love and trust of my insecure rescue mutt who thoroughly enjoys their walks. My dog is scared of other dogs and Rachel is always considerate of this when walking her, ensuring it’s a positive, varied experience. She’s professional, completely reliable and has great experience with nervous dogs.

I highly recommend her brain-game visits too; great for stimulating the dog if the weather’s too hot for walks or your dog needs a visit if you’re out for a while.

And we give another resounding endorsement for the homemade treats too, they’re a firm favourite in our house!"

"Rachel looked after our cats whilst we were away, not just feeding, but making sure they got plenty of attention too. 

She was also happy to make sure the garden bird food was topped up each day.  We got regular updates which was reassuring. I would definitely recommend her services.

R​achel has been coming to our house to look after our Bengal Kitten for the last few months, I find her totally reliable and 100% trustworthy, she has a key to our house. I always get progress reports from my very naughty kitten.

I would highly recommend Rachel to look after your cats or kittens, .When I have been away all day I have the knowledge that my Bengal kitten is safe and stimulated .

My very picky Fox Terrier has started his walks with Rachel and he's loving it  (and he's not easy to please!)   Highly recommended.

"Rachel has been fantastic with our loveable and lively whippet. She has such a lovely way with animals and really is a true dog lover.

Coming home at the end of the day, knowing the fun and excellent care Percy had received during the day from Rachel, made us very happy. I thoroughly recommend her."

"The Animal Auntie looked after our chickens whilst we were away. I’m a paranoid pet owner and especially with my chickens as I worry about them being had by the Fox.  But she took magnificent care of them, sticking to my bizarre routine for feeding treats. I would highly recommend her and trust her with any pet."

"I’ve known Rachel for 20 years and have and would trust her absolutely to take the best care of my animals.   She has looked after my pony beautifully in an amateur capacity and I know she will look after the dogs, cats and hens just as beautifully in the future as a professional"

"I’ve known Rachel professionally for 10 years. In that 10 years we have become friends and hand on heart I don’t know anyone else who cares and spends so much time with her own animals as well as others. The care she has for all animals is amazing and just lovely to see. Can’t wait to see her new venture take off like I know it will.   Maisey munch and Rufus bear will miss their “work” auntie, but it’s just a great excuse to meet for more dog walks"
