Ratings and reviews
Hettie loved her stay as always!
Hettie always has a wonderful time with Ashley and her family! No doubts that she is well looked after!
Luna felt right at home and was treated so nice and kindly by Ashley and her family. During the whole trip we were at ease knowing she was not only taken care of, but enjoying herself. A huge thank you!
Ashley was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Bruce and kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind while We were away. It was clear how much attention and affection she gave him. I would highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Ashley and her family were so amazing! We have just moved to London from the US and are nervous about leaving our 15lb Schnauzer/Poodle/mix, Teddy, for the first time. After reading the reviews, we scheduled a 2 night stay with Ashley and we couldn't have been happier! She sent numerous videos and photos, kept me updated on how Teddy was doing, and constantly kept him busy. Teddy will definitely be staying with Ashley and her family again!
It was the second time Pedro stayed with Ashley and the family and our experience reassured us that again we made the right choice. Their attention, care, gentleness and positive energy as well as confidence and professional approach made those few days apart so much easier. Regular updates, pictures and videos, fantastic communication. Pedro had a great time and we know that we won't be looking anywhere else if we need a dog care again. Thank you.

Schedule
~ Our Family’s Pet-Friendly Schedule ~ Our daily and weekly routines are exceptionally pet-friendly, ensuring your animal companion will have plenty of attention, exercise, and love. Morning Routine • School Run: Each morning, I walk/run my six-year-old to school. This is a perfect opportunity to give your pet a refreshing morning walk/run and start their day on a positive note. Daytime Flexibility • Almost Always Home: As a freelance yoga instructor and full-time homemaker, my schedule is quite flexible. This means I can offer frequent potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. Afternoon Activities • School Pick-Up: I collect my 7 year old daughter from school in the afternoons, another great time for a walk/run or some outdoor play for your pet. • Park Visits: We’re a family that loves the great outdoors, and we visit the park (Regents or Primrose) daily (weather permitting). Your pet would be more than welcome to join us for some extra exercise and socialization. Family Involvement • A Family Home: Pet care isn’t just my responsibility; it’s a family activity. My husband and our child are both animal lovers, so your pet will receive a lot of attention and love from all of us. Our schedule not only accommodates pet care—it embraces it. Trust us to seamlessly integrate the care of your pet into our family life.
