Pet care experience

Your pets home from home 🐶

Alex and I have been caring for dogs for over 15 years, mostly for family and friends. We have done everything from daily walks to sitting and boarding. We love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved—whether we’re out for a walk or just hanging out at home. Dogs are like family to us, and we treat them that way.

Second time Paddy has stayed, and as before, Helen and Alex were great and Paddy enjoyed himself. Took extra care of him during the recent heat wave and were very accomodating. Both Helen and Alex are dead nice and easygoing. When I needed to change the original booking by adding an extra day, they fitted it around their existing arrangements.

Snoop was very happy and content staying with Helen over a long weekend. I was sent photos and updates and could see Snoop was getting on very well. Thanks for everything! Hopefully you will have him to stay again soon xxx

Helen and Alex were fantastic with Lando, he was very settled in their care and was well looked after, I couldn't have asked for better sitters. Helen gave regular updates with photos which was lovely, and gave up reassurance everything was fine. I would highly recommend Helen and Alex, and would definitely use them again.

Helen and Alex are lovely people, who both love dogs. They looked after Joey so well- he was reluctant to come back home!! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Helen kept us updated throughout the day and I'm sure Joey is looking forward to his next stay.

Just want to say a big thank you to Helen and Alex for Oscar’s most recent stay. It was so nice being away knowing that Oscar was being well looked after and being spoilt. Helen and Alex made Oscar feel part of the family and we had lots of great photos keeping us updated. Oscar can’t wait to come and stay again some time ♥️

Helen and Alex are such a lovely couple who looked after our dog overnight. Kept us updated on how she was doing which gave us peace of mind. Would recommend them for sure

Schedule

Myself and my partner work from home 3/4 days per week alternate days so someone is always at home. We currently don’t have a dog but have grown up with dogs and miss the company of a dog in our home/to walk. We do 9-5 desk jobs so we’re available to walk in the mornings, lunch hours and evenings as well as let the dogs out for frequent toilet and sniff breaks.
