Marley has now stayed with Carolyn five times. I would be very reluctant to let him stay with anyone else. She has taken good care of him. He has an ongoing health issue but Carolyn has been monitoring him throughout his stay and kept me updated. He has again come back his usual self. He seems happy. I enjoy my trips a lot more knowing Marley is in very safe hands. She and Derek are very nice people. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Fantastic! Oscar (the dog) clearly loves a stay with Carolyn, as good as a 5 star hotel holiday. He is well cared for and immediately accepts that he is going on holiday! I would certainly recommend Carolyn.

My 2 girls have just stayed with Carolyn. It’s the first time they’ve ever been looked after by someone else. To say I was apprehensive is an understatement! The girls however had a great time on their own little holiday staying with Carolyn. They were taken on many walks and I was provided with daily updates and photos which put my mind at rest. They were looked after exceptionally well in a lovely home. I will absolutely be using Carolyn again to care for my girls. Thanks again Carolyn!!!
