I had never home boarded Bella before, so was very nervous about it, but Carolyn and her partner were so good with her. They made her feel right at home and kept to her routine. She sent us regular updates and photos, which we really appreciated, and it put us at ease whilst we were away! Couldn't recommend them enough. Thank you!

Excellent experience with our dog sitter. From the very beginning, they were reliable, professional, and genuinely caring. Kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, relaxed, and well looked after. It was obvious she had been well looked after, with plenty of exercise and endless affection. I couldn't have asked for better care. Highly recommend to anyone who needs a compassionate and dependable dog sitter. I have no hesitation in booking again!

Carolyn and her Husband have taken great care of our dog, she settled in great and was taken on a lovely walk to the nature reserve. We are very happy with the service and will definitely be using them again.

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.
