What folks are saying about sIT & gO
“Best of the best”
Team Mutt love you to bits. You always go above and beyond to ensure their needs are always put first. You introduced them to 5 acres and they think it is fantastic. I know when I leave them with you they are well looked after, cared for and loved. How you share a bed with a 40kg and 12 kg dog and get any sleep when they sleep horizontally is amazing. If anyone reading this wants the best of the best dog walker or pet sitter just contact Emma at Sit and Go I can guarantee you will not be disappointed your pets will love them – Sue
“Our dog is completely loved and looked after while we’re away”
Would def recommend, feel completely reassured that our dog is completely loved and looked after while we’re away by people who are experts and genuinely enjoy what they do. Plenty of updates all the time we’re away too. – Jo
“Extremely accommodating”
I really would recommend Sit & Go to anyone. I contacted them about coming to see my crazy cocker spaniel awhile ago an with been shift worker they have been extremely accommodating last minute booking or changing my appointment. Been there for advice and just all round amazing. Love getting picture updates on his walks or pop ins, Loxley loves the team and new pup friends he’s made

FAQs
How are the sessions conducted?
Our sessions are tailor made to fit your pet, so at the meet and greet we will discuss a plan that suits all parties. The sessions could be home based play, on lead solo or group walks, 5 acres play or changed to fit your requirements.
How does the pet sitting work?
We stay at your home to ensure the pets are in their normal environment. We stay with them from around 4pm all through the evening to around 8am, then leave them for a few hours to walk dogs, then pop back at lunch. A walk is provided and lots of love and fuss given. We can also do pop ins for cats that are happy to be home alone, a minimum of 2 a day are required.
How much do your services cost?
A base price is given for walks of £12.50 for half hour, £18 an hour for 1 dog, extra costs for each additional dog or mileage of further afield. This will be discussed at the meet and greet.
Pet sitting is a minimum of £40 per night for one dog, £5 per extra pet and additional fees if more is required i.e medication/more pop ins or walks etc.
What do we need to provide you for pet sitting?
Apart from the key and contracts which we will go through with you, all you need to do is show us where we will be sleeping, provide bedding and towels, tell us what rooms we have access too, give us information on the pets routines and feeding routines.
We bring our own food (although if we are able to use condiments/pots and pans etc its very much appreciated).
Do we need to give you keys?
We do ask for access to the property in cases where you will be out. we are happy to hold a set of keys that are kept locked securely when not required. We are also happy to use a lock box if you have one.
What equipment do I need to provide for dog walking?
I am able to supply my own leads, poo bags etc however if they have a harness or other equipment I will use theirs as its already fit to them. Please can you make sure they are correctly microchipped, and have a collar and tag with the legal requirements on the tag. Please also leave a towel ready for them to be dried off if we get caught in the Great British weather.

Pet sitting – a 50% non refundable deposit is required to hold your dates, the remainder is due 1 week prior to the start of the sit.
