“Sandra provided an amazing dog-sitting experience for our puppy! She welcomed her into her home, where he spent the day with her family and her lovely dog, Nala. It was clear they all treated her like one of their own. Sandra's warm and caring nature put us completely at ease, and we could tell that our puppy had a fantastic time. We're so happy with the care she provided and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thank you, Sandra! 🐾 ”



“Beverley took the best care of my pup, who had great fun playing with both dogs and cats and was so content when I picked her up. Will definitely be getting Beverley to care for my furball again soon. Thank you Beverley 😊🐶”



About: Hi my name is Mags and I am dog mam to Freddie the King Charles! I am absolutely besotted with dogs 🐕 🐶 Personally, when I'm going away I find it very hard to find somewhere that I am comfortable with and trust to mind Freddie. This is why I am offering a home from home service (boarding and doggie day care) for your dog. He/she will be treated exactly like my own. Your dog will have full run of the house, a warm fire (when its lit!) and loads of walks (we live on a farm). I am at home 24/7 so your dog will never be lonely! I have had dogs all my life and loads of other animals. Both myself and my husband are besotted with dogs. As mentioned earlier, your dog will have full run of our house. We live on a farm so I regularly bring the dogs on walks up the field (on leads). Please note, all dogs must be neutered and toilet trained.


“Mary was brilliant with Harley . She kept me updated with regular photos and it was clear that Harley was content and having lots of fun . He got on great with Marys dog Phoebe . Would highly recommend Mary , she was a pleasure to deal with .”



“Michael was brilliant with our dog Belle. He is clearly very experienced with dogs and he put my mind at ease from the get go. He sent me a few photo and video updates throughout the day on how Belle was getting along, and his own dog Romulus is very sweet and playful. I would highly recommend Mike as a sitter!”



“Ruth and family are amazing with dogs. I have left Daisy and Lily with them a few times and they both run straight in the door and don’t even turn around to see me go. I know Daisy and Lily love their time there. They get lots of attention, walks and play time. ”



“Extremely accommodating when minding Roo when she had no power after a storm and allowing an early morning drop-off. Did her utmost to keep communication open even when coverage was down for both of us. Great sitter. ”

“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog Lola received! From the moment Sarah arrived, it was clear Lola was in safe hands. Lola was up on her lap on the sofa within minutes and was so relaxed and happy. We got photos of her out for a walk & fast asleep afterwards. Sarah is a real dog person & treated Lola like her own. It's such a relief to know we have someone we can trust to look after her and will definitely be contacting her again. Highly recommend!”



“We were nervous to leave Cooper with anyone as he has some behavioural issues that we are still working on. Shauna was understanding of this from the very start and was happy to have Cooper visit her home the night before his stay so that he might be more comfortable with her and Zeus. Shauna sent us regular updates and put our mind at ease. You can tell she is a true dog lover with great patience and love for all dogs! Zeus was a great buddy for Cooper and I’m sure helped him settle in. We would highly recommend Shauna and will definitely be booking with her again soon 💙😊 ”



“Matthew was friendly and looked after Doug well. He eased him into his home life and settled him really well. The updates on adventures throughout his stay was also very welcome. I would highly recommend Matthew's services and will be back in the future ”



About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and know how important they are to a family. I enjoy spending time with them and making sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I'm reliable, responsible, and comfortable with dogs of all sizes. For me, it’s about keeping things simple: good walks, happy dogs. When I’m dog sitting, I make sure your dog stays on their usual routine—whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime. I pay attention to their behavior, keep things calm and consistent, and make sure they’re getting plenty of attention and exercise. I also have flexibility in my schedule, so I can adjust to what works best for you and your dog I've been dog sitting for several years for friends, family, and neighbors, with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, and giving dogs the attention and structure they need while their owners are away. Whether it’s a weekend stay or daily walks, I make sure each dog feels safe, calm, and cared for. Dogs in my care have a safe, clean space to relax and sleep—either in their own bed, crate, or wherever they're most comfortable. I live in a quiet neighborhood with parks and green spaces nearby, perfect for walks and play. There are plenty of safe options close by
