Thank you so much Aline and Tony for looking after Bobby. We were away on holiday for 12 days and it was really nice to follow him on your daily posts so we knew what he was up too as well as because we missed him so much. We were very comfortable and could see he was in safe hands. You also got some great pics of him too. We could see you made a real connection with him which was lovely 😻 We would definitely recommend you to anyone who requires a pet / home sit. Thank you for also taking care of our home whilst we were away, it was left spotless. Thanks again love Bobby, Kayleigh & Scott More...

We cant recommend Aline and Tony more than enough!! They looked after our 2 pups for 10 days and I don’t thinks our dogs even wanted us to come home. There was constant communication, photos and videos and we could tell the dogs were beyond comfortable and happy with Aline and Tony. Now we know we’ve got reliable and trustworthy pet care, it removes all anxiety about wanting to leave the dogs when we head away More...

Aline and Tony took care of our Velcro dog Awhi (a 4 year old Labrador) while we were away overseas. Awhi was given many smooches and snuggles, walked daily, and basically treated like the princess she thinks she is 😂 communication was excellent, our house was left looking better than when we departed. I couldn’t recommend Fluffy Bums more highly ❤️ More...

Tony and Aline were amazing ❤️ this was our very first family holiday away together and I was feeling a little sad for my two fur babies! I don’t know why, because Aline was amazing to communicate with and she sent regular updates which put my mind at ease. My two fur bubbas were happy, which made our holiday stress free, memorable, and amazing 😊 I love what her and Tony do, it makes a world of difference knowing your home and pets are well taken care of. Our home was spotless….they are trustworthy, honest and the best temporary tenants anyone can ask for. I will be using their services again!!! p.s – Aline & Tony, my two fluffys miss you both…took them a few days to realise they were stuck with their looney family again hehehe More...

Aline was recently my doggy’s plus one to our wedding and I can’t recommend her enough! Her communication from the start was incredible and I instantly trusted her to collect Jake from our house , bring him to the wedding and take him home. She seamlessly slipped into our big day bringing Jake to us at all the right times and keeping out of sight when she wasn’t needed. THANK YOU ❤️ More...

Aline and Tony looked after my little buddy Arnold when I was away in March, and they were fab: They alerted me to a potential health issue with Arnold, monitoring him and regularly updating me until I could get back to take him for treatment. They were also looking after my house and it was pristine when I returned - which I was very grateful for after ten days on the road 😊 Aline and Tony should be at the top of your list when you need someone to really look after - and look out for - your own precious fluffy bums.

Aline and Tony looked after our house and Labrador Mosey for a week whilst we were on holiday. Regular updates showed our beloved pet having the best time of his life with his new family lol! I didn’t need to worry about him at all and our house was immaculate when we came home. Thank you so much guys, we’ll be back! More...

Aline and Tony did a fantastic job looking after our house and Indian runner ducks while we were away for a week. Aline was sending me regular updates, followed the ducks feeding schedule and was really lovely to deal with, needless to say, the house was spotless when we came back. Five stars, highly recommended to anyone who wants their house and pets well looked after. More...
