How Bertie works

Step 1

Search or browse

Pick a service and a place, or start from a guide. Every listed professional is on the register for their trade before they appear.

Step 2

Compare plainly

Qualifications, facilities and prices side by side. Nobody can pay to rank higher, so the order you see is the order that helps you.

Step 3

Meet and greet, free

Meet at their place or yours before anything is paid, with your pet doing the interviewing. If it does not feel right, walk away and owe nothing.

Step 4

Enquire or book

Message a professional with one form, or book a slot online where they offer it. Your details go to them and nobody else.

Checked properly means something here

Anyone can build a directory. The work is in what you refuse to list and what you refuse to sell. These four rules are the whole model.

Registers, checked

Hydrotherapists against NARCH and RAMP, physios against their bodies, and so on for every category. Unregistered means unlisted.

No paid placement, ever

Professionals can pay for tools, never for position. Rankings and recommendations are not for sale.

Prices out in the open

We publish what things should cost before you enquire, so the first quote you get is not the first number you see.

Written and checked by people

Guides carry a named author, and health pages a named clinical reviewer. Our editorial standards are public.

Worth reading before you spend

The homework, already done. What things cost and what to skip.
