Dora has been looking after our Bella a few days a week for months and is the nicest, warmest person! She is always available and quick to reply and super accommodating to any last minute changes or last minute collection requests! Bella is always very happy when we pick her up and Dora sends great photos and updates throughout the day!

Unfortunately, I would not recommend Dora. Before the booking, I explained over the phone that my dog is an active dog and needs three walks per day, including one longer walk. Darcy wears a tracker collar due to a heart condition, which also records GPS data. During the stay, the collar was removed for approximately 16 hours and I started to worry. After I asked for it to be put back on, the GPS data showed that Darcy was generally only being taken out twice a day, with very short Walks of 10-15 min or so, rather than the agreed three walks (including the long walk which should be over 30 min). When my friend collected Darcy, Dora stated that he had already been taken out that morning. The GPS data did not support this. In hindsight, I should have paid more attention when Dora told me she trains dogs to use the terrace. While a terrace can be convenient, it is not a substitute for regular outdoor walks. Dogs need exercise, enrichment, and opportunities to sniff and explore outside. If an owner clearly explains their dog’s needs and pays for professional care, it is reasonable to expect those instructions to be followed, especially when dog sitting is advertised as a full-time profession. She was very communicative and send many pictures but it is not sufficient as per the above I am afraid.
