Hi, we’re Colette and Ian! We’re passionate animal lovers with years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve grown up with a variety of animals, from large dogs like Boxers and Labradors, to small dogs like Westies, Spaniels, Terriers, and Cockapoos, as well as rabbits and chickens.

I work remotely from home, so pets have plenty of company during the day, and Ian is home when he can be to give extra attention.
Ratings and reviews
Colette took great care of Jock and Eileen, as always.


Collette was amazing, updated me on everything during the booking, took amazing care of my puppy on an overnight stay and was so lovely in the lead up, during the stay and drop off. Great communication, excellent care, her doggie Reggie was my little pups bestie by the end and is a sweet gentle angel, and I would recommend Colette to anyone who wants peace of mind when leaving their precious fur babies with a sitter.

Colette was excellent. She proposed a free meet up before hand so that we could both assess the suitability of the other which I really appreciated. It was great to know that Thea was going to get along with her and Reggie. She sent regular photos and clearly tried to follow the ‘structure’ we’d asked her to follow for Thea’s eating and, critically, sleeping. Colette was friendly and confident and clearly knew her stuff which put me at ease. Reggie, despite being 5 x the weight of Thea, looks to have got on really well and is a gentle giant despite his own young years. We will absolutely be happy to use Colette again.

We bring jerry to Colette's all the time now! Day sitting or for a whole week, we know we are leaving Jerry in super safe hands! Jerry absolutely loves her, and is now best buddies with Reggie. So glad we found you Colette!

My golden retriever Roy had a fantastic 5 night stay at Reggie’s with Colette and Ian! They treated him as their own with a lot of love, cuddles and pupdates throughout the stay which helped put me at ease about leaving him. Roy settled in really well and had a wonderful time - picked up a very happy and sleepy boy!

So happy we found Colette! Our gold retriever Jerry had the best time whilst we were on holiday for a week, and Colette made the whole experience as easy and stress free as possible and we felt so comfortable with leaving jerry! Her black lab Reggie is such a bundle of joy, and Reggie and Jerry got on so well! She kept us up to date with pics every day, and we felt jerry was truly looked after and loved every minute spent with Colette! Thanks so much, won't hesitate to book again! Kathryn and jerry x
