Couldn’t recommend Josie enough. She looked after my elderly cat Belle while I was away, and Belle seemed to warm up to her immediately despite being a very anxious girl. The constant updates and photos made it much easier for me to relax and enjoy my holiday. Will definitely use Josie again in the future as I know Belle will be in such safe hands. Thank you ⭐️

Josie recently started walking my 2 labradors and I couldn’t think of anyone better for the job, my dogs love her and can’t wait for their walks with her. 🐾

After a recommendation from my sister, Josie looked after my 2 cats and tortoise while I was on holiday last week. She was really easy to get in touch with and sent me daily updates and photos of them. They were so well looked after. She even gave the cats a good brush. I can't recommend her enough.

Because they're family.
At Hugo & Co, I believe pet care should feel personal. Your pets aren't just another booking in the diary - they're individuals with their own routines, personalities and needs. I take the time to get to know them, so you can feel confident they're in safe, caring hands while you're away.
