CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES
Pet Care You Can Count On
Hear from pet owners who have trusted us to provide reliable, personalised pet sitting and loving care while they’ve been away.
I started using Guilt free getaways in 2023 and have never looked back. It is so comforting to know that they know my house and pets. I love that they give me daily updates and send pics.
L Axelrod
I was reluctant to use sitters and have strangers in my home but Hannah put me at ease and Ethan kept us updated and sent photos every day of our pets which also put us at ease. Our animals love him.
L & A Summers
My pets have always had the best care with Guilt Free Getaways! I had two dogs. They have been there for me and my dogs through it all! I now only have the one, and she has the best care.
