Ashley and her family clearly made huge effort to make our dog feel welcome, relaxed and happy during her stay. Ashley’s communication was really great with lots of photos and videos that gave me confidence our dog was having a good time.

Ashley and her family were absolutely amazing with our kitten Inca. I couldn't have wished for a better experience. From the moment I contacted Ashley it was clear just how much of an animal lover she is. Her family were so lovely - they entertained Inca endlessly with real affection. I could see that Inca responded straight away and felt totally at home. Ashley also checked in with me several times a day and I received wonderful photos and videos of Inca, which were much appreciated. I could see just how happy she was and didn't ever have to worry. I honestly couldn't have chosen nicer people to look after Inca and I'll certainly be asking Ashley and her family to look after her again in the future.

Ashley and her family went above and beyond taking care of our dog!!! She regularly, thoroughly updated us, with photos and details of their days together. She also went out of her way to get him his favourite foods and work on his training, which has significantly improved since his time with her. We could not recommend a better, more attentive, genuinely loving and caring sitter/ family for your dog. When we picked him up he didn’t want to leave and cried in the back of the car all the way home!

Information Ashley C. would like to know about your pet

Important Information to Know Before Booking To ensure that we offer the best possible care tailored to your pet’s needs, there are a few things we’d like to know in advance: Behavioral Traits • Socialization: Does your pet get along well with other animals and children? Are there any behavioral quirks we should be aware of? For example, does your pet bark at other dogs, jump when excited, cry when left alone - even if it’s only for a short period, such as when I take out the rubbish? We live in a flat and would like to keep noise to a minimum for our neighbors’ sake. • Energy Levels: Is your pet high-energy or more of a laid-back lounger? This helps us plan appropriate activities. • Special Fears or Anxiety: Does your pet have specific triggers like loud noises, thunder, crowds, or separation anxiety? Medical Requirements • Dietary Restrictions: Are there foods your pet should avoid or special feeding schedules we should follow? Is your pet allergic to anything? • Medication: Does your pet require any medication? If so, please provide detailed instructions, including dosage and timing. • Emergency Contacts: Please share your vet’s contact information and any other emergency numbers. General Preferences • Favorite Toys or Treats: Let us know if your pet has any favorites so we can make their stay even more enjoyable. • Sleeping Arrangements: Does your pet have a preferred sleeping spot or special bedtime routine? Providing this information allows us to create a personalized and comfortable experience for your pet. Rest assured, all details will be kept confidential and will only be used to ensure the highest quality of care.
