We are a warm and trustworthy family of three who genuinely love animals. My husband, our 18 year old daughter Emma, and we have always had pets as part of our lives. We have owned between us working cocker spaniels, and a couple of Lhasa Apsos. We also have 18 guinea pigs in our garden, it’s a long story why we have so many, feel free to ask! Finally we have a tropical fish tank, with around 20 fish. Caring for animals is a big part of our home life as you can see! Emma my daughter, is currently studying at Warwick University and hopes to specialise in animal biology. She is calm, kind, and very responsible with animals of all kinds. I run a professional pet care business close to Cambridge with a team of 8 staff. Through my work I have provided dog walking, pet sitting, and professional house sitting for many local clients. Before changing career, I worked in financial services for 30 years, which gave me strong organisation, communication, and reliability skills. I also hold accreditation in pet first aid and other animal care training. My husband is an engineer by trade and now runs his own handyman and painting and decorating business. He is practical, careful, and very caring with pets. We are clean, respectful, and dependable people who will care for your pets as our own and look after your home with great attention and pride while you are away.

    Amanda and her daughter Emma looked after our four legged friend Milly whilst we went away for a few days. Milly was extremely happy and very well cared for as was our home. We came home to a lovely warm welcome of a bouquet of sunflowers and a very happy Milly. We can fully recommend Amanda's professionalism and eye for detail.

    We can't rave enough about Amanda and Harvey! Finding people that love and care for your pets like you do is like finding gold dust. We left our pups with a great peace of mind. Amanda and Harvey read our huge puppy tome we left with great grace and patience (🤣) and looked after them seamlessly and with such love. Regular updates were fantastic. The pups were so happy when we got home..honestly I think they would have been so happy if Amanda and Harvey had stayed 🤣 Not only looking after the pups they looked after all my outside plants with care and watering. My house was spotless and they had even washed the bedlinen! Way more then I ever expected. We are eternally grateful for finding these guys. Their care was outstanding and we can't thank them enough. We will absolutely be using them again and so should anyone reading these reviews!!!!

    At our introductory meeting with Amanda and Harvey, it was clear that they genuinely cared about all animals. We have two large breed dogs who can be a handful at times, but our dog sitter Harvey handled them with calm, attentive care and kept us updated throughout our time away. Our dogs clearly felt comfortable and well-looked after. Harvey followed all our care instructions closely, with thoughtfully communication at all times throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible and caring, I have no reservations at all in highly recommending Harvey.
