I booked John, last minute after an unexpected cancellation for a long weekend. John was/is a very attentive dog sitter. I had frequent updates and photos. Lola had frequent walks, treats and love. Lola came home very happy and well fed. I would highly recommend John as a dog sitter, he showed genuine care, affection and dedication to ensure Lola was happy throughout. I recommend John so much so, I've already rebooked! Thank you sincerely for the love you showed my baby in your care.

He sent me regular updates, messages and greet pics 📸 and videos of Bueno having a Wonderful time. From tummy rubs to playing catch in the back garden. You we're Fabulous John thankyou again. Will definitely be booking in again. Until then take care 🙂
